For a stick eighteen years old, without bark, to do this, was certainly great medicine. No one now might doubt the story of Konate, to whom the taime spirit had talked, under the bough shelter by the Sun-mountain Spring. None of the Kiowas dared to touch the apote, this time or to stay near the medicine lodge. The dance was held at another place.
So on the water's edge they built a shade for Konate, with a few crooked cedar branches, and bidding him goodby they rode on, into the great Staked Plain. They expected that they would never seen him again. What happened now to Konate, he often told, and he told it always the same; therefore it must be true.
But when they reached the spring, they found Konate alive and stronger than when his comrades had bid him goodby! That astonished them. They then knew that he was "medicine." Therefore they washed him, and gave him food, and putting him on an extra horse they turned back and took him home. The village, and all the tribe, also, were astonished to see him again.
