THE JEALOUS HUSBAND. 81 
her not to cry, but to keep quiet. He told them how his friend had 
treated him and how Buzzard had taken pity on him and rescued him. 
When he had finished he told his sister to go and tell the woman to 
come. She went and told the woman that she was wanted. She did 
not hesitate, but went along with the girl, and they both came in and 
the woman saw her husband’s friend, whom she thought was killed, 
sitting with the others. The woman stayed with this man and did not 
care to go back to her former husband any more. 
The husband was very sorry that he had told the stories to the head 
man and the chief. Many times after this these men went out on the 
buffalo hunt, and some of the others always watched him closely to see 
that he did not harm any one else. Finally they noticed that every 
time they went out he killed one buffalo first, and then did not take any 
of the meat, but would cut it up or dress it as though he were going to 
take it, and then would scatter the meat as though he were dividing 
it out to some people. The people began to wonder what he did that 
for. After he had prepared and scattered the meat of the first buffalo 
he had killed he would go on and kill another one, and then he would 
take his meat home. After people had seen him leave the meat of the 
first buffalo many times some one asked him why he did that. He 
would not tell, but one time his uncle came and asked him why he had 
done that so many times, and hetold him all about it. Hesaid he had 
lived with the woman many years, and when he should die his wife 
should drop dead, too. 
47. THE TURTLE WHO CARRIED THE PEOPLE AWAY.* 
One time the people broke camp and were traveling about looking 
fora village site. They traveled far until they came near the big water, 
and there they saw what they thought wasa large rock. ‘They decided 
to make their village near the rock, so they could use it as a dancing 
place. They had several dances on the rock, but not all of the people 
were there. One time, after they had been at the village for some time, 
they sent the crier to announce a big dance. All the people came and 
danced on the smooth, flat rock. While they were dancing they noticed 
that the rock began to move. They watched it and soon saw a big 
head and legs appear from under it. Then they knew that they were 
not on a rock at all, but on a big turtle. They tried to get off, but 
found their feet stuck tight. They cried and called for help, but the 
turtle carried them down into the water and drowned them.
