THE BOY WHO LED WAR-PARTIES. 259 
ask the man to stand; then spread the robe on the ground and ask the 
man to be seated, then offer the pipe to the man and ask him to 
smoke, then he should tell him the object of his visit, saying that he was 
willing to serve under the man; that after all this the man whom Bad- 
Boy had selected for Second-leading-warrior would ask him about what 
time he wanted to start, and if he wanted to leave within a few days he 
must leave the order with him to select another Second-leading-warrior, 
who should serve with him under the leader. The Second-leading- 
warrior who should be selected first should be on the right side of the 
leader, the other on his left. After leaving home he must, while camp- 
ing for the night, have the wood for the fire arranged east and west, 
and he should face the south toward the open space, having his two 
men, one on his right, the other on his left, and his other men all in 
a circle, on his right and at his left. 
When all this should be arranged, he must open his war bundle, 
having his things lying before him; must have his tobacco-pouch open, 
when the Second-leading-warrior would fill his pipe with tobacco and 
hand it to him; the same man should then rise and have with him a piece 
of dry wood, small in size, and light the pipe with it. Pains must be 
taken in these performances, when after the pipe should be lighted, he 
was to make his offering to the star-gods. After doing this he should 
hand the pipe back to the same man that had made the smoke for him, 
and after having the pipe, he must rise, leaving his seat and going 
toward the south, then around the fire, and offer it to the one on the 
left side. The leader then must pass it on to all the men and have them 
smoke. After the tobacco should be gone, his man should empty the 
ashes out of the pipe before him, which is called “dahanenornehuanadis- 
saeh,” the pipe being emptied with the pipe stick, the mouth of the pipe 
facing him. After this should be done, if there should be anything to 
eat, he must have one of these men get a bunch of grass, lay it before 
him for the food, and there must be a separate fire made on the south 
side of the main fire for cooking. After the food should be cooked, 
no one should be allowed to eat until he should have made his offering. 
After making the offering, he himself must eat the food first, and if 
there should be anything left it was to be passed on by the man on the 
right side, the same as should have been done by the man on the left 
side with the tobacco. Then they must all begin to eat, and cook some 
extra food, until they should get what they required. If he should want 
to smoke again, he should have the man on his left perform the same 
as the first one, and after making his offering this time, must have the 
man rise and pass to the one on the right and offer him the smoke, then
