208 THE MYTHOLOGY OF THE WICHITA. 
Then the Coyote (Ketox), who was a racer, finally gave out, and then 
the young man raced. They then went for a long way, then disappeared, 
and then again they went for a long way, and finally came to a place 
where Shadow-of-the-Sun did his hardest racing, and here was a deep 
canyon. Shadow-of-the-Sun, of course, was used to this place, and 
when he came to it, passed it safely, but the young man could not pass it, 
and so was beaten. Shadow-of-the-Sun took his club and killed the 
young man. ‘The reason why one side of the village seemed to the 
young man to be more lively than the other was 'that whenever Shadow- 
of-the-Sun had won in a foot-race, and had killed his opponent, he 
would carry off a lot of the other chief’s people, and this would make 
the village more lively. Whenever there was a foot-race and Shadow- 
of-the-Sun came out the winner, the other chief would offer his life 
to Shadow-of-the-Sun for those of his people, but Shadow-of-the-Sun 
would refuse, and would say that if it had not been for him (the other 
chief) there would not have been any fun. Shadow-of-the-Sun won 
many foot-races, and killed many defeated opponents. 
Now, another of the four brothers put on all his weapons and set 
out to make a visit. He traveled four days. On arriving at the high 
point by the village of the two chiefs he looked all over the village, and 
it was late in the evening. He went down toward the village and met 
some one, asking him where he might find a place to stay all night, and 
he was told to go to the place where he had seen the highest tipi. He 
went to the place, and on entering, was requested to pass on to the 
bed at the northwest part of the tipi. While passing, the chief remem- 
bered the young man’s brother, and thought this must be the same man 
who had been killed, for the young man resembled his dead brother 
very much, though he was much younger. The chief told the young 
man the same thing that he had told visitors who came to his tipi; 
that there was danger at his place, and any one visiting him was not 
safe; for there was always.some one looking out for such men as he. 
The chief supposed that some one had already sent word to Shadow- 
of-the-Sun that some one was visiting him, and so after giving the 
young man his supper he told him what were the troubles he would 
have to meet. He said that he wished he himself might be killed, 
instead of having to see his visitors killed. Early the next morning 
the young man was called to a foot-race. He, the chief, and the Coyote, 
all started to the nearest bathing place for their early morning bath. 
Now, they all went north, in the direction they saw the people going. 
They finally reached the place where the foot-race generally started. 
The chief and Shadow-of-the-Sun raced first, then the Coyote, then the
