Mipka came out, saw the boy on the opposite bank, stretched his leg over the water; the boy ran across on it. Hehku came to the river just after Tsanunewa had run into the house, and Mipka had drawn his leg back again. Inside was a large log with a small hole in the heart of it. Tsanunewa crept into that hole and hid quickly. "Hehku will not find me here," thought he. But Hehku saw him from the other bank, knew where he was hidden. The old man hurried after Tsanunewa. Hehku reached the river when Mipka stepped across the door. "Old man," cried she, "put your leg over the water. Let me cross. Put your leg over the water!" Mipka stood inside the door; seemed not to hear. "Put your leg over the water!" cried Hehku. "Creep out and run west for your life," said Mipka to Tsanunewa. "Run; I will stop Hehku; I will keep her here for a while. Run to Matauwila's; he may be able to save you." Tsanunewa crept out through the western end of the sweat-house and ran. "Old man, put your leg over the river. Let me cross on it!" cried Hehku. She was very angry now, but Mipka refused for a long time. At last he stretched his leg from inside the door to the opposite bank of the river. He did this hoping that Hehku would run in on his leg, be speared in the doorway and die there. Mipka had long and very sharp spears fixed in above the doorway to kill people whom he hated. But Hehku jumped off his leg at the river side. She would not go in at the door; she climbed to the roof of the sweat-house. "Old man, give me Tsanunewa. I saw him run into your house. Old man, give me Tsanunewa or tell me where he is." "I cannot tell where he is. He is not in my house," said Mipka. "Tell me, old man, where that boy is, or I will kill you. I do not want to go into your house, but if I go in I will kill you. Only tell me where Tsanunewa is. If you hide that boy I will kill you." "If you think Tsanunewa is here, come down, come in, look through my house," said Mipka. Sharp spears were pointing upward toward this door in the roof of the sweat-house. Hehku was very angry; she slipped down in a hurry. The spear-points went into her body and killed her. She fell dead on the floor of the sweat-house. She lay a while dead there; then came to life and stood up again. She caught Mipka right away, and they fought, fought a long time, fought till she swallowed him down at one mouthful. While Hehku and Mipka were fighting a long battle in the sweat-house, Tsanunewa had run far away toward the west. He was now in sight of Matauwila's sweat-house. When he was near enough to call, he shouted,-- "Grandfather, I am running for my life; save me!" Matauwila ran out and helped the boy into the sweat-house. "Grandfather, I want you to set traps in this house, set traps all around in it. Hehku is hunting me; she will kill me if she catches me." Matauwila made four rows of double traps in the house.
