  1. (continued from previous page)
    man was still listening to the conversation. When he was going home that night and his horse with him he pulled three small rushes on his way up. When he went up to the house he put the horse into the stabe. He went into the house and the people of the house were making the poundies for the supper. He told the girl to stand out on the floor and her rubbed the rushes across her mouth. Immediately she began to talk and laugh and she told the man her story. Next day they man left her home.
