talk to his brothers and sisters in q
voice which sounded like the cries Of

Indian boy would wake to hear the

-Hush-So TO sleep!" the mother
would say. 1T Il only the Wild Boy

And always the next morning. a.
soon ~ the little boy was wide awake.
he would ask the old man to ten the
story OF the Wild Boys fight with the
panther. And while the new dre was
sending h,ue smoke mp above the cook
ing pot. the old man would say:
"Once the wild Boy gct tired Of lis-
ing In the trees with the bees and the
birds. and he wanted to get married.
But nrst he had work to do. and he
asked the bear to help him. The bear
would not help him unless he would be
the bears brother; and after that the
Wild Boy stayed in the woods and did
not want to get married.
He was the brother Of the bear. and

but ran about in tho meadows and
down by the river. where the fish
leaped in the water
First. the bees came and asked the
Wild Boy to come back to them in the
tree-tops. but the Wild Boy only
laughed. Then the birds took turns
going to visit him and asking him to
come back to the tree.tops. And to
every bird who came to him. the Wild
Boy said:
II am brother Of the bear now,
and ! do not care to go back to the
tree-tops.' And he said nearly the
same words to the raccoon and sQuir-
rel and the 'possum.
when they had all failed to get the
Wild Boy back to the trees, the sleek
panther. who also spent most OF his

dweIlers In council And when they
had come and were quiet, the panther
got mp on the highest limb and said:
you have an failed to bring back
the Wild Boy. who was our messenger
to the animals and the people OF the
level ground. Nov. II the weaver bird
will make . strong cord for me viii
60 and bring the Wild Boy So the
weaver bird began right away to do
what the panther had said.
The panther ran on. as soon n II
was dark. on the next night. and he
carried the cord over his shoulder. He
came to the tree which was big around
and hollow; and inside tho bear and
his brother the Wild Boy were sleep
ing. For while the panther sat and
studied about how he could get the
Wild Boy to wake mp without disturb
ing the bear
FINALLY, he decided that he would
60 down to the river and cry like
woman In pain. And. sure enough.
when the Wild Boy heard the cry. he
got up and ran TO the edge Of the wa
ter: and ~ he ran he thought OF the
beautiful young woman who once said
that she would marry him.
But there was no woman down by
the river-only the panther was there,
holding one hand behind his back.
What are you doing here. and
what have you got in your hand! the
Wild Boy asked And the panther said
that he had come to get the Wild Boy.
But when the panther sprang to put
the cord about the Wild Boys body
and lead him back to the tree-tops the
Wild Boy rubbed his hands ON his
cheeks and then put them over the
panther's nose
Nov. when the Wild Boy had be-
come the brother OF the bear. the bear
had passed his tongue over the cheeks
Of the Wild Boy; and when the panther
smelled the Wild Boys hands. 1t wai
as II the bear himself was standing in
front OF him He was afraid then. and
he ran away to the tree tops. But from
that day to this the panther has NO,
