They then cut the cords that fastened the door, and, guided by the sounds of the music, the dancing, and the merry-making, they soon found their way to the dwelling of Way-gee-mar-kin. When they entered, they saw the chief seated on a throne, surrounded by light and splendor. Everything was joy and amusement. Crowds of courtiers were in the apartment, all dressed in the most brilliant array.
When the friends of Way-gee-mar-kin saw him, they called out to him, "Oh! Shee-shee-banze your friend, Way-gee-mar-kin, is dead!" With a gesture of despair, Shee-shee-banze drew his knife and plunged it not into his heart, but into the bladders filled with blood that he had prepared.
As he walked, he sang, or rather chaunted to a monotonous strain, the following: "Way-gee-mar-kin is dead, is dead, I know who killed him. I guess it was I I guess it was I." All the village was aroused. Everybody flew in pursuit of the murderer, but he evaded them, and escaped to a place of safety.
Accordingly, the elder sister said, "If you are Way-gee-mar-kin, let us see you cough." Shee-shee-banze had a few of these silver ornaments which he had got by scrambling, and which he kept stowed away in the sides of his mouth in case of emergency. So he gave some spasmodic coughs and brought forth a few, which the girl eagerly seized.
"Grandmother," said he, "I have brought you two young girls, who will be your daughters-in-law. Invite them into your lodge." Upon this, the old woman called, "Ho! come in," and they entered. They were made welcome and treated to the best of everything. In the mean time, the real Way-gee-mar-kin, the great chief, made preparations for a grand feast.
