After the wedding of the giants, they were very happy with their brides
only for a short time, and they challenged each other for another game,
to which they both agreed. The multitudes of people had assembled to
witness the big meet as usual, to applaud and praise their favorite
champion. While the two giants were engaged upon the court with their
powerful teams, the wife of Cay-way-ett stole away from the crowd
to the home of Su-me-ah-chene, upon reaching it she entered, and
selected one of the beautiful dresses of Mrs. Su-me-ah-chene and gowned
herself in it. She dolled herself up very handsomely in the dress and
ornaments and seated herself in the seat of honor, as being the lady
of the household. Su-me-ah-chene approached Mrs. Cay-way-ett believing
her to be his wife, as she assured him that she was his Reck-woy wife
instead of the bride from Orleans. Mrs. Su-me-ah-chene saw her husband,
to her great indignation, caress the other woman and at once believed
him to be unfaithful to her. She at once recognized the beautiful
dress that Mrs. Cay-way-ett wore to be her own, and all this leading
her to believe stronger than ever that this strange woman had stolen
the affection of her husband, and that he had allowed her to usurp her
of her household. Believing this all to be true, Mrs. Su-me-ah-chene
assailed her husband to his great surprise, with a hot torrent of angry
words, and fled from him, back to her home in Reck-woy. The truth
dawned upon the broken hearted champion that Mrs. Cay-way-ett had
deceived him in making him believe that she was his wife, and at once
sought his girl bride at Reck-woy, and pleaded at her feet to return
with him to their home at Su-me. But her pride had been wounded beyond
endurance, and she haughtily turned from the greatest of champions, and
the greatest of men, and left his stately form bowed down with grief,
a sense of a deep loss, and the sorrowing presence of loneliness.
Thus the true sweet bride of his affections had been ruthlessly borne
by the wings of fate, away from the love of his mighty manhood.
Grieved and hurt by this great blow, he refused the attentions of Mrs.
Cay-way-ett. This treacherous woman had sought revenge, as she believed
that Su-me-ah-chene had deceived her for his own amusement, when she
first visited him at Su-me, and the Say-gap had followed her to her
home at Orleans Bar. As the wife of the other giant, Cay-way-ett, she
became enamored with the mightiest of athletes, Su-me-ah-chene, as she
remembered he was once her lover. Having lost his love after he became
the champion, she was thrilled with passions for his great victories,
and determined to deceive him. She falsely declared to her husband
that she was going on a visit to her people at Orleans Bar, and he
readily consented to her going. For a time he believed that his wife
was visiting her people, but to his great disappointment he found her
to be unfaithful to the marriage vows, as she was attempting to win the
