He was well trained in the religious discipline of the Indians; and now that he saw hope before him, his next thought was one of gratitude toward that mother of all who, though dwelling at the bottom of the lagune of Shipapu at times, and then again in the silvery moon, was still watching over the destinies of her children on earth, and to whose loving guidance he felt his bright prospects due.

Haatze the earth is round and flat, but it is also thick like a cake. The other three wombs are down below inside, one beneath the other. At Shipapu the people came out upon this world which is the fourth womb, but it was cold and dark. Then the great sun rose in the heavens above. It is day and light, night and dark. We have also summer and heat, winter and cold.

After all, death would put an end to everything; it is beautiful at Shipapu, there is constant dancing and singing; the girls are always young and the women never too old. Hayoue's hand was again grasped by one of the guards, and he was motioned to descend into the apartment below. Zashue had to follow.

"I thought," Tyope suggested, "of sending word to the men in front to come back, and as soon as we could see anything, striking the enemies in our rear. What do you think of it, sa nashtio?" "Many will go to Shipapu to-day," the Chayan muttered. "What shall I do? Speak!" Tyope insisted. The last words of the shaman frightened him.

He leaned his head against the wall, pressed his lips firmly together, and continued, "The holders of the paths of our lives, those who can close them when the time comes for us to go to Shipapu, where there is neither sorrow nor pain, have many agents among us. The woman listened with childlike eagerness. Her parted lips and sparkling eyes testified that everything was new to her.

They are good also to the yaya, for they take her away to Shipapu, where there is no hunger as on the shore of the great stream." He sighed, and gazed to the west, where the San Francisco mountains stood. Beyond them, along the northern base of the Sierra de Sandia, in the sandy bottom of the Rio Grande, uninhabited at this time, they had suffered from hunger and heat.

The mention of his mother creates a stir among the bystanders. They forget the dance and turn toward Mitsha. Shyuote still refuses to obey, but the others push him forcibly to the hatchway. Several of the women approach Mitsha, and one inquires of her in a subdued voice, "How goes it below?" The girl's eyes fill with tears. At last she whispers, "It goes to Shipapu."

When the soul is released from the thralls of this body and its surrounding nature, it goes to Shipapu, at the bottom of the lagune, where there is eternal dancing and feasting, and where everything goes on as here upon earth, but with less pain, care, anguish, and danger. Why therefore shun death? Shotaye was in what we should call a philosophic mood.
