Su-me-ah-chene won every point as he had in the previous games, and
after receiving the cheering congratulations of the Reck-woy girls,
together with the maiden of his choice, he invited some of them to come
and visit him at his home. The girls were pleased over the invitation
to visit him, and promised to visit him in a few days. He described to
them the dead pine tree, where the sap-sucker would be flying about, so
they could easily find the house, which was located near the center of
the village. Four of the girls came to visit the champion as they had
promised, they crossed the river and climbed the hill to Su-me village,
where following his directions closely they easily found the tree and
the house. They found him home, and entered, he appearing handsomer
than ever, as he greeted them with a hearty welcome, and said he was
glad they had kept their promise. He entertained them so nicely that
the time went by quickly, and he was loath to have them depart so soon.
They were having such a splendid time that he suggested they spend the
night at his home, to which the girls readily agreed. The next morning
the girls returned to their homes at Reck-woy, very tired and happy
after being so pleasantly entertained by the young champion. A few
days after the departure of the girls Su-me-ah-chene decided he would
go to Reck-woy and return the visit, and during this visit a romance
developed into matrimony, as he wooed for his bride the pretty maiden
of his choice. After the wedding the proud little bride accompanied
her husband to his home, where she began housekeeping in an elegant
fashion. Meanwhile his rival Cay-way-ett and the maid of Orleans Bar
had married.
