"He has let the girls go," thought Haka Kaina. "You whistle all night, but don't watch," said Haka Kaina, pushing him. He woke him. Hohwitina looked at his right arm, no girl; looked at his left, the second was gone; felt at his back, there was no one there. "Where are the girls?" asked Haka Kaina. "I cannot tell," said Hohwitina. Haka Kaina looked around and saw tracks in the ashes. "You said that you never sleep at night; now look at those tracks; those are somebody's tracks, somebody came here last night. What were you doing? Were you awake? were you sleeping? Did you let the girls go because you were willing, or did somebody take them while you were sleeping?" Hohwitina said nothing, held down his head. Haka Kaina went out, and saw tracks on the sweat-house, then he saw tracks below at some distance away from the sweat-house. "People came from the south and took the three girls," said he; "of course they were sent by Hwipajusi." Haka Kaina talked all the next night to his people, told how sorry he was that the girls had been taken, and to two men he said, "You must go and bring back the girls to us." The two were Bohkwi and Simu Nupchowa; they could run fast, and were very wise persons. Now, on the top of his sweat-house, at the central pillar, Hwipajusi had posted Matsklila as a sentry, and he watched carefully to see who would come. Hwipajusi knew that Haka Kaina would try to get the girls back again. Matsklila had a knife in his nose and one in each arm. Bohkwi and Simu Nupchowa set out to bring the girls back from the south. Just at sunset one evening they came near the village; they saw crowds of people everywhere, young men and women at play in the great village. Old Hwipajusi sat talking; and a great many people, old and young, men and women, sat around him and listened. Haka Kaina's two men went near the sweat-house. "I am going in," said Bohkwi. "No, I am going," said Simu Nupchowa. "You cannot run fast. You stand near, and when I come out you run ahead, and I can carry the three girls easily. I will catch up with you." The people sat there near the sweat-house and listened to the chief as he talked. "Be on the watch; they will come to-night, they will come, I am sure," said Hwipajusi. After a time all separated, went to their houses, and lay down to sleep. At midnight, when all was silent, Haka Kaina's two men crept up and climbed the sweat-house to look in at the top. Matsklila was at his post behind the central pillar, standing still. Haka Kaina's men did not see him. "I will look in," said Bohkwi. "So will I," said Simu Nupchowa. They stretched their heads and looked. They leaned over the opening, stretched their necks far. That moment Matsklila moved quickly, and both their heads dropped off, rolled down, and fell to the earth outside the sweat-house. When Hwipajusi rose up in the morning, he went outside and saw two heads lying near the sweat-house.
