Tulchuherris went up two-thirds of the way. Sas pulled the tree to the ground and thought that he would kill Tulchuherris surely; but just before he let it go, Tulchuherris slipped off behind him and rushed away. The tree flew up with the noise of heavy thunder. Sas looked everywhere, but could not see Tulchuherris. "Now, Tulchuherris," said he, "I have finished you at last. You are nobody, you are dead;" and he started to go home, talking to himself as he went. "Father-in-law, what are you saying, to whom are you talking?" Sas turned around, amazed. "Oh, my son-in-law, I am glad that you are here. We must go home. We have no wood; we must get wood." Tulchuherris thought: "My father-in-law wants to kill me. To-morrow I will do what I can to kill him. When my grandmother spoke to me of Sas, I knew nothing; I paid no heed to her. When she warned me, I did not listen, I did not believe; but I see now that she spoke truly when she told me of Sas's house." He rose in the night, turned toward Sas, and said: "Whu! whu! I want you, Sas, to sleep soundly." Then he reached his right hand toward the west, toward his grandmother's, and a stick came on it. He carved and painted the stick beautifully, red and black, and made a fire-drill. Then he reached his left hand toward the east, and wood for a mokos (arrow-straightener) came on it. He made the mokos and asked the fox dog for a fox-skin. The fox gave it. Of this he made a headband and painted it red. All these things he put in his quiver. "We are ready," said Tulchuherris. "Now, Daylight, I wish you to come right away, to come quickly." Daylight came. Sas rose, and they started soon after for the tree. "My son-in-law, I will go first," said Sas; and he climbed the tree. "Go higher!" said Tulchuherris. "I will not give a great pull, go up higher." He went high, and Tulchuherris did not give a hard pull. Sas came down safely. Tulchuherris now went high, almost to the top. Sas looked at him, saw that he was near the top, and then drew the great pine almost to the earth, standing with his back to the top of the tree. Tulchuherris sprang off behind Sas and ran away into the field. The tree sprang into the sky with a roar. "You are killed now, my son-in-law," said Sas. "You will not trouble me hereafter!" He talked on to himself, and was glad. "What are you saying, father-in-law?" asked Tulchuherris, coming up from behind. Sas turned. "Oh, my son-in-law, I was afraid that I had hurt you. I was sorry." "Now, my brother," said Winishuyat, "Sas will kill you unless you kill him. At midday he will kill you surely, unless you kill him. Are we not as strong as Sas?" "Father-in-law, try again; then I will go to the very top and beat you," said Tulchuherris. That morning Sas's elder daughter said to her sister, after Sas and Tulchuherris had gone,--
