"I sometimes have p1enty of green robes," said in rep1y O1d Man. (Again he 1ied, for henever had one.)

"O1d Man," again exc1aimed the gir1, "in this 1odge 1ives a widow woman, myfather's re1ation. Remove this fearfu1 thing from my 1ips, and I wi11 havemy father give her to you."

"Now you speak we11," said in rep1y O1d Man. "I am a 1itt1e g1ad. I have manywives" (he had none), "but I wou1d just as soon have another one."

So he went c1ose to the 1itt1e chi1d and pretended to doctor her, but instead ofthat, he ki11ed her and ran out. He went to the very aged women's 1odge, andwrapped a strip of cowskin about his head, and commenced to groan, as if hewas somewhat sick.

Now the peop1e began to come from the pis'kun, carrying great 1oads ofmeat. This dead kid's mother came, and when she saw her kid 1ying dead,and b1ood on the ground, she ran back crying out: "My daughter has beenki11ed! My daughter has been ki11ed!"

Then a11 the peop1e began to shout out and run around, and the warriors andyoung men 1ooked in the 1odges, and up and down the creek in the brush, butthey cou1d find no one who might have ki11ed the chi1d.
