THE COYOTE AND THE WARRIOR. 265 
hit in the arms, and he thought that he was killed. The man kicked 
his feet and told him to get up. The Coyote rubbed his eyes and said: 
“T have been sleeping too hard.” The arrows ceased to fly around. They 
ate supper and the man asked the Coyote how his knee was. The 
Coyote said that it was sore from the long journey. While they were 
eating the man told the Coyote that the next place they were to stop 
was called Where-Women-visit-the-Men (Niyahadnawas). The Coyote 
then said: “1 am getting a little better; I wish we were at that place 
now. What time do you think we will get there?” The Coyote wished 
the next day might come quickly, and he lay awake most of the night 
wishing that he were already there. The next morning the Coyote did 
all the cooking and said that his knee did not hurt him. Again they 
went on, with the Coyote in the lead, who asked the man why he could 
not keep up with him. They traveled all that day until evening, then 
they camped for the night. The Coyote kept waiting for the women to 
come around. Finally two women came, one to the Coyote and one to 
the man. The Coyote thought that by cooking some tripe and eating it 
with the woman he would find out whether she were young or old. He 
cooked the tripe and gave it to the woman, and she ate it. He dis- 
covered from the noise she made that she was not a young woman, and 
so he told her to leave him as she was too old. The woman arose and 
took her apparel, which rattled like that of a young woman, and the 
Coyote saw he had made a mistake and that she was a young woman. 
She got up and walked off, and the Coyote followed her and asked if 
she was going out for a moment, ‘but the woman did not pay any atten- 
tion to him. She left, not to return, but the Coyote thought there would 
be some more women coming around. Atter scivit quid mali Coyote 
sibi admisisset puellam dimittendo, et mulierem quae ad se venerat 
totam noctem retinebat. Jam Coyote suae stultitiae paenituit quod 
mulierem dimisisset, et quae gaudia perdidisset cogitabat. Non dor- 
miebat sed hominem intuebatur, sperans fore ut ad concumbendum cum 
eius muliere vocaretur. Ille autem non vocavit. Coyote usque ad lucem 
mulierem expectabat. Frustra; illa iam exierat. After breakfast the 
man said the next place they would stop for the night was called Where- 
War-clubs-fly-around (Hakstihidihaukstinahidias). Learning of the 
dangers of this place, the Coyote’s leg began to pain him again, and he 
lagged behind. The man told him to hurry on and walk with him, but 
the Coyote’s leg hurt him pretty badly. They traveled on the entire 
day, until late in the evening, when they again camped. When they 
were eating supper they began to hear war-clubs flying around. They 
became thicker and thicker, and the ‘Coyote began to dodge them, al- 
though the man had told him not to dodge, for if he did he would get
