46. THE JEALOUS HUSBAND. 
People go on war-path and spies are sent out to locate enemy. Leader chooses 
for spies two who are very close friends and always go together. One is married 
and other single. One day they come to high hill. They climb it and find on top 
big hole, like well, with water. Married man tells friend to go down in hole to get 
some water. He descends on long buffalo-hide rope. Instead of pulling him up 
again his friend throws rope into hole and goes away. He starts for camp and 
tells head man that his friend was killed by enemy who pursued them. Camp 
therefore breaks up and people return home. Man in hole asks birds passing over 
to take him out, but they take no notice of him. After nine days Buzzard flies 
over hole and man again asks for help. Bird passes again and again, and fourth 
time lights on ground. He peeps over rim of hole and tells man he will help him 
out, but he must first go for some medicine. Buzzard goes away, but comes back 
and flies to bottom of hole. He tells man to shut his eyes and take step forward. 
He is then on back of Buzzard, who flies upward out of hole. Bird takes man to 
home of Buzzard, and there he remains until he can walk around. Buzzard tells 
him his friend maltreated him because he had been told he was going to take his 
wife away. He then says he is going to take man home, and tells him what to do 
there. They start and Buzzard tells man to shut his eyes. When near home he 
gets off Buzzard’s back and goes to his lodge. He tells how his friend had beaten 
him and how Buzzard had rescued him. He then sends his sister to fetch friend’s 
wife. Woman returns with sister and stays with man, refusing to go back to 
former husband. Afterward, whenever they go on buffalo hunt, husband kills 
one buffalo first, cuts it up, and scatters meat; then he kills another one and 
takes meat home. When asked why he did that, he will not tell; but once his 
uncle comes and asks him, and he says he had lived with wonian many years and
