Then it did not touch the doorway. If it had touched it, it would

have given a loud sound. Then they went out. There far off they just touched it a little, and it gave a slight sound. The old couple at once got up quickly when it sounded. They looked for the hoop, but the toy had disappeared. The toy was called hoop. The old woman said: The hoop is gone. Some one stole it. Then both of them went out, and said: "Some one has stolen the hoop, some one has stolen the hoop!" They shouted their words. Then the people in the town said to one another: "Listen to what the old couple are saying!" They went out. They were asked: "Which way has it been taken?" It was pointed out to them. They said: "There was a little sound of it in that direction." Then the friends were pursued. The people went out. They saw them going. Then Young Coyote was told by his friend: "Your father gave you some- thing, use it." Then Young Coyote untied Moonlight- just-touching- the-Ground, and their tracks were lost. It was not long before it was daylight again. He said: "He gave you something, too." The other one then untied his moonlight. The friends were not visible. When they were about to be caught, Young Coyote was told by his friend: "Give me what you are carrying." Then Young Fox took I the hoop. Then Young Fox untied Darkness-of-Night. Then he was lost (to his pursuers). They heard only a rattling noise. They said to one another: "The other way is a rattling noise." They went that way and overtook Young Coyote. He was caught. Young Fox was lost because he had the Darkness-of-Night. The people spoke to one another. "Don't kill him! He shall be your toy." Then Young Fox went back, carrying the hoop. Young Coyote was captured. Young Coyote was tied up. Then they slept again. Young Fox started back and went along. In the morning he knew that his friend had been taken. He heard them talking together and saying not to kill him. Then he went along at night. When it was almost morning, he almost arrived at his 85 tent. Then he began to roll the hoop. It made a good sound. Then he knew that his parents would hear it. He sang, and said:

"Coyote, Coyote, your child has been killed! "

Coyote said: "Hiya', my son!" Then he said:

"Fox, Fox, your child has been killed! "

Coyote said: " See! You didn't send your son to get manitou power, and now he has been killed." Young Fox said again:

Coyote, Coyote, your child has been killed!
