43. THE END OF THE TRICKSTER-CHEATER. 
Village ruled by old man, who has wife, daughter, and four boys. Old man 
and wife become blind and boys become head of village. Four brothers announce 
hunting trip, and tell people to get ready in four days. Father thinks it useless 
for him, wife, and daughter to go, and chiefs have them removed to safe place 
near timber and water. When people have left village Trickster-Spies come and 
find no one in village. Among them is Trickster-Spy, who finds old folks and 
daughter living in timber. When warriors go away he goes with them, but when 
good way off he leaves them and returns. He kills buffalo, takes meat to where 
folks are living. When girl steps out he motions for her to come for meat. 
She goes and tells father and he finally tells her to see what man wants. She 
goes and man returns with her, carrying meat. Father tells mother and daughter 
to do what man asks. Man makes up mind to stay and marry girl. He has great 
powers and always brings home meat. If he sees enemies he turns to deer or 
coyote. He sees four brothers and people coming and tells his wife. Brothers 
return and accept him as brother-in-law. His wife has boy ‘called Son-of-the- 
Trickster-Spy. Trickster-Spy always takes son hunting. Once when boy heavy 
he paints his head with white clay and leaves him in tree. Tricksters come 
and take child away. Trickster-Spy follows and overtakes them. He joins 
party, carries child in his turn, lets crowd go on and turns back with child. 
When old enough, child has as great powers as his father. ‘Trickster-Spy lives 
with four chiefs long while, then beats wife and has to fly, leaving wife and boy. 
Trickster’s son is angry at father and looks out to kill him. War-party is sent 
against Tricksters, and Trickster’s son goes out to spy. He and father see each 
other and turn to deer, but are afraid to meet. War-party returns home. While 
on hunting trip, Trickster’s son accidentally sees some one who has killed game. 
He finds it is his father and turns into buck deer. He turns back, attacks 
father before he knows, and kills him. He takes father’s scalp and gives it to 
people, who dance for joy over death of their meanest enemy.
