hoped it would be something to benefit
his race. On the third day he became
too weak to leave lis lodge, and as he
lay gazing upward he saw Il spirit come
down in the shape Of a beautiful young
man, dressed in green and having
green plumeS on his head, who told
HIM to arise and WreStle with him, as
this was the only way in which he
could obtain his wishes. He did so
and found his strength renewed by the
effort. The visit and trial of the
wrestling was repeated for four days,
the youth feeling at each trial, that
although his bodily strength declined,
