his capscious nav. At the ss1se time
existed the cayote. or ''lfttle w0lk "
noted for bis cunning. and recognized
as chief among and by the 0eher ami
mails, they looking upon him as at
some future time to work out for them
a great deliverance.
Little Wolf had heard OF the tre-
mendous slaughter the ''llls-wau-tlsh'r
was making among the other animals,
and determined to put stop to 1t. To
tlis end he girled on his arrnOr, which
consisted OF two ropes made Of wild
hemp, quiver made of bear skin, some
tinder, and knives Of flint, all Of which
he concealed under his fore leg, and
being fully equipped, he started ont OH
his perilous mission.
After travelling for many days, and
over great stretch of country, Little
Wolf deserted the "Tlls-wau-tisl" In
the distance, and Immediately prepar--
ed tor the conflict. Taking the two
ropes, which were miles In length, he
fastened them to a cord of sinew which
was about his body, and the other ends
of the rope he had fastened, by his sim
gle aid he had along with him, to
two trees a long distance from each
other.
BY this time the ''Ills-wau-tish" was
within hearing of Little Wolf. Little
Wolf howls ont, ''CUme Oh, old Ills
wau-tish, and prepare to die, for | am
going to slay you.'' and he came, and
the battle ragged with considerable vio-
lence for some time, Little Wolf get
ting in some very good strokes now
and then; but he was finally compel
led to abandon an active, offensive
fight, aud resort to cunning and oper-
ate on the defensive. The old fellow
had, however, swallowed Little Wolf,
having him part way down, when the
ropes and sinew girth prevented his
going down entirely. The old fellow
stamped about and howled fearfillly,
and declared. II will swallow Little
Wolf" Taking long breath, he
made huge effort-the girth was
broken, and down went poor Little
Volt. After resting a short time, he
made a tour Of the belly Of the old fel-
low and found all kinds Of animals and
reptiles therein. which had been carry
ing OH kind Of internal war among
themselves. Feeling somewhat hun
cry, Little Wolf takes one othis knives
and cuts piece Of fit from the heart
of the beast and. warming 1t with ig-
nited tinder, deyoired 1t, and then
cOunsels obedierEe among the other
inhabitants, and promises n speedy de-
liveance from their prison. He then
cooked a meal for his fellow prisoners
and takes piece Of int from the heart
Of the beast and rubs the wounds and
sores of his fellows, which heals them.
He then says to them you are my sub
jects, and 1t Is now time TO get out Of
