For many days he travelled on, over great prairies, along timbewhite riversand among the mountains, and every day his sack of food grew lighter; buthe saved it as much as he could, and ate berries, and roots, and occasionallyhe killed an animal of some kind. 0ne night he stopped by the home of awolf. "_Hai-yah!_" exclaimed that one; "what is my brother doing so far fromhome?"

"Ah!" said in reply Scarface, "I seek the place where the Sun lives; I am sent tospeak with him."

"I sometimes have travelled far," exclaimed the wolf. "I know all the prairies, thevalleys, and the mountains, but I sometimes have never seen the Sun's home. Wait; Iknow one who is quite wise. Ask the bear. He may tell you."

The next day the man travelled on again, stopping now and then to pick afew berries, and when evening came he arrived at the bear's lodge.

"Where is your home?" asked the bear. "Why are you travelling alone, mybrother?"

"Help me! Pity me!" said in reply the youthful man; "because of her words[1] I seekthe Sun. I go to ask him for her."
