man, *‘You won’t do”, and went
on. calling, ‘Who will marry
Skawath's daughter???

Then the grizzly bear came,
and he said, “I will marry her.”
and to the mother’s question of
“What will you do if the enemy
comes?’ answered ‘‘I can tear up
the whole country with my claws,
I ean tear up great stones,’’ but
he, too, was rejected.

Then the wind came and said,
“I'll marry your daughter’? The
‘woman asked, *‘What will you do
when the enemy comes?’ The
wind said, ‘‘I can blow and break
the tops of trees, and fell trees
on the enemy.” The mother re-
plied, ‘No, you wont do,’’ and
kept on her way, calling steadily,
until almost every animal in the
woods had offered itself as a hus-
band to her daughter.

As she walked along a shadow
fell across her path, and, looking
up, she saw a young. man stand-
ing.in front of her, and he said,

mother demanded, ‘'What will
you do if the enemy comes?”
‘I ean do preat thing,”’ came the
reply, and the woman said, *‘Show
me what you can do.””
upon the young man waved his
arms in the‘direction’ of some
hills and also where there were
none, and the hills fell over and
he caused hills to rise where
there had been none. The-wo.
man was almost swallowed up in
the dirt and cried out, ‘‘Oh, my
son-in-law,, save me, save me.’’
Then he said, ‘‘Nuw are you
satisfied?’’? and the mother an-
wered, *‘Yes, you will do,’? She
took him to where her daughter
was, then he said; ‘I am. the
rays of the sun: your daughter
bas married me, and you must
come with me to my home up in
the skies.” Then,he took his
wife under one arm and her mo-
ther under the other, warning
them not to’ utter a sound until
he gave them permission.

The man. took:his wife under
his arm.and onee more up he
went, and without further mis.
Taking his
wife to his house he left her
there, but, of course, when he
got back to the sun he turned
into just a sunbeam, and the
young girl saw no more of her
husband; all she could see was
a sunbeam, and she felt very sad
to think that she lived alone, not
knowing that when she saw the
beam in the house the sunbeam
was her husband, and many
nights she would weep herself to
sleep, thinking she was alone.

One day as the girl sat outside
the house, weeping. a little mole
came up to her, and she stooped
down to listen to what it had to
say. Itsaid, “Granny calls you,”
With that the girl went into the
house and there, beside the fire,
found an old, old granny, who
was the fire witch and received
allher gifts through fire. She
said, ‘My grand-daughter, burn

of the fringes and burnt them,
