No Mexican soldiers would follow into the Staked Plain. When after hard riding they arrived at Sun-mountain Spring, on the top of a high, bare-rock hill near the Staked Plain, Konate's wound had spoiled in him and he could not sit upright on his horse. He was very ill. "I am about to die, friends," he gasped. "Do not try to carry me farther.
The music drew nearer, and he heard the Sun-dance song; and while he listened, strong of heart again, he saw the medicine spirit of the Sun-dance standing before him, at the entrance to the shelter. "I pity you and shall not let you die," said the medicine spirit. "You shall see your home and friends." Then the medicine spirit brought down a rain, to wash Konate's wounds and cool his fever.
When the stick was eighteen years old Konate's nephew planted it as before, at the close of the Sun-dance, in the center of the medicine lodge on the plain; and when the Kiowas returned, the next summer, for another Sun-dance, they discovered that the apote had been planted the other end up, and was putting forth green leaves!
