TROUBLE AMONG THE CHIEF'S CHILDREN. 235 
went to sleep for a while, until plain daylight, when they started again, 
going toward the south until darkness overtook them. They again 
stopped for a night’s rest, instead of traveling at night. They had 
something along to eat, and it was easy for Man-fond-of-Deer-Meat to 
kill any game that he wanted. When they stopped ‘he went out a short 
distance and shot a deer, so that they had meat for their supper. The 
‘next morning, they ate their breakfast and journeyed again, traveling 
all that day until darkness came down on them. They stopped for a 
night’s rest. Man-fond-of-Deer-Meat, being such a great hunter, did 
the same as he had done before, killing a deer and getting enough meat 
for supper and two other meals. When he arrived where his wife was 
they cooked their supper, ate, and went to sleep. The next day, after 
eating their breakfast they started, still going in the same direction. The

young man did the same thing over again, killing a deer and having deer

Here they lived, the woman fixing up the place, building their 
grass-lodge and sheds to dry meat, Man-fond-of-Deer-Meat doing all 
the hunting. The woman remained at home by herself, for there was 
no sign of any people living near them. She sometimes thought that 
hers was the kind of a man she wanted, one who would make a living, 
so that she would never be hungry, instead of having a man going out 
on the war-path and becoming a famous woman, the wife of a warrior. 
They lived here a good long while, the woman remaining at home, the 
man going out hunting every day. They always had plenty of meat, and 
the woman raised corn, so that they had plenty to eat. After they had 
lived a long while at this place Man-fond-of-Deer-Meat went out hunt- 
ing with his four arrows and bow to kill deer, his most important meat, 
as is signified by his name. He saw a deer sitting down. He shot at 
the deer and missed it. Quickly he thought to himself, “Well, what can
