him no more" Shortly after this the
Sioux made an attack upon the Chip

fast as the rest and was left behind.
It being an unusually hot day in the
fall, the Turtle grew very thirsty and
sleepy. Finally seeming water. he

whence the scent came, and coming
to large lake jumped in and had q
bath, after which he swan towards
the center and dived down, and find.

fell asleep. He had his sleep out and
arose to the top.
Swimming to the shore he found it
was summer. He had slept all win

green grass and leaves gave forth a

He crawled out and started out look.

upon the camp several days after he

village. She was nursing her baby.
and as he asked to see it, she showed
It to him. When he saw that It was
q lovely baby and did not resemble
him In any respect, he got angry and
went OF to large lake, where he
contented himself with catching dies
and insects and living on seaweed the

Near: to . Chippewa village lay a
large lake, and in this lake there lived
an enormous turtle. This was no
ordinary turtle. as he would often
come out OF his home in the lake and
visit with his Indian neighbors. He
paid the most Of his visits. to the head
chief, and on these occasions would
stay for hours, smoking and talking
with him. ,y I,ss I
The chief. seeing that the turtle
was very smart and showed great

Mrs. Marie Mclaughlin, wife of Ma.
