shot with the bow and arrows.’’ They beganto play. Finally he said 
to his brother, ‘‘ Father is coming and I must go,’’ and he ran back to 
the woods. Medicine-Man was far from home when the boy saw him 
coming, and when he came the boy was gone, and his son did not say 
anything about his having been there. 
Again Medicine-Man went to hunt, the second time and the third 
and the fourth time. When he came home in the evening after he had 
been out the fourth time the boy seemed troubled. ‘They ate and then 
went to bed. About midnight the boy woke up and thought of his 
secret brother, and he thought at once that he must tell his father 
about his brother. He woke his father and said: ‘‘ Father, I have 
something to tell you, although I was told not to say anything about 
it to you.’’ Medicine-Man gavevery close attention. ‘‘ Father, some- 
body comes here every time you go out to hunt, and he is not very 
big ; he is about my size. When he first came he frightened me and I 
started to run, but did not know where to go, and I began to cry and

The little boy ran out next morning with the bow and arrows and 
began to play at the usual place. Finally the other boy came, but 
before he came near he spoke and asked Medicine-Man’s boy where 
their father was, and the boysaid that he had gone out hunting again. 
The boy began to look around, and finally he said: ‘‘ Who is that man 
behind the door ?’’ at the same time running back to the woods. 
Again the next day the boy went out to play; this time Medicine- 
Man placed himself at the edge of the roof of the grass house. When 
the boy came he asked his brother where their father was. He an- 
swered that he had gone out hunting, but the boy would not come 
near. He began to look around, and finally he said: ‘‘ Who is that 
man under the roof?’’ and he ran back into the woods again. ‘Then 
Medicine-Man said: ‘‘ We must catch him some way. When he sits 
down near to you, tell him that something is crawling in his hair, and 
then he will let you look in his hair. Then catch hold of a small 
bunch of his hair and tie it up four times; then call me and I will be
