he left his boy to take care of the lodge while he was absent , hunting and roaming about from place to place , striving to forget his misfortune , and searching for the wicked weendigo . he had been gone but a little while one morning , when his son shot his arrows out through the top of the lodge , and running out to look for them , he could find them nowhere . the boy had been trying his luck , and he was puzzled that he had shot his shafts entirely out of sight . his father made him more arrows , and when he was again left alone , he shot one of them out ; but although he looked as sharply as he could toward the spot where it fell , and ran thither at once , he could not find it . he shot another , which was lost in the same way ; and returning to the lodge to replenish his quiver , he happened to espy one of the lucky arrows , which the first weendigo had given to his father , hanging upon the side of the lodge . he reached up , and having secured it , he shot it out at the opening , and immediately running out to find where it fell , he was surprised to see a beautiful boy just in the act of taking it up , and hurrying away with it to a large tree , where he disappeared .

" as he advanced rapidly , she ran in , and taking the hand of her son , a boy of three or four years old , she led him out . speaking very loud , " see , my son , " she said , " your grandfather ; " and then added , in a tone of appeal and supplication , " he will have pity on us . " the giant approached and said , with a loud ha ! ha ! " yes , my son ; " and added , addressing the woman , " have you any thing to eat ? "

by good luck the lodge was well supplied with meats of various kinds ; the woman thought to please him by handing him these , which were savory and carefully prepared . but he pushed them away in disgust , saying , " i smell fire ; " and , not waiting to be invited , he seized upon the carcass of a deer which lay by the door , and dispatched it almost without stopping to take breath . when the hunter came home he was surprised to see the monster , he was so very frightful . he had again brought a deer , which he had no sooner put down than the cannibal seized it , tore it in pieces , and devoured it as though he had been fasting for a week . the hunter looked on in fear and astonishment , and in a whisper he told his wife that he was afraid for their lives , as this monster was one whom indians call weendigoes . he did not even dare to speak to him , nor did the cannibal say a word , but as soon as he had finished his meal , he stretched himself down and fell asleep . in the evening the weendigo told the people that he should go out a hunting ; and he strided away toward the north . toward morning he returned , all besmeared with blood , but he did not make known where he had been nor of what kind of game he had been in quest ; although the hunter and his wife had dreadful suspicions of the sport in which he had been engaged . withal his hunger did not seem to be staid , for he took up the deer which the hunter had brought in , and devoured it eagerly , leaving the family to make their meal of the dried meats which had been reserved in the lodge .

the weendigo was smeared in blood .

she looked until it came near , when she perceived that it was another weendigo or giant cannibal . remembering the good conduct of the other , she had no fear of this one , and asked him to look into the lodge . he did so ; and finding after he had glared around , that there was no food at hand , he grew very wroth , and , being sorely disappointed , he took the lodge and threw it to the winds . he seemed hardly at first to notice the woman in his anger ; but presently he cast a fierce glance upon her , and seizing her by the waist , in spite of her cries and entreaties , he bore her off . to the little son , who ran to and fro lamenting , he paid no heed . at night - fall , when the hunter returned from the forest , he was amazed . his lodge was gone , and he saw his son sitting near the spot where it had stood , shedding tears . the son pointed in the direction the weendigo had taken , and as the father hurried along he found the remains of his wife strewn upon the ground . the hunter blackened his face , and vowed in his heart that he would have revenge . he built another lodge , and gathering together the bones of his wife , he placed them in the hollow part of a dry tree .

" he again exacted a promise of secresy , and went back to his tree . the eldest took his seat near the fire . when the hunter came in he was surprised to see the ashes scattered about .

" he had no sooner set out than the boy called his friend , and they played and chased each other round the lodge . they had great delight in each other 's company , and made merry by the hour . the hunter was again returning , and came to a rising ground , which caught the winds as they passed , and he heard his son laughing and making a noise , but the sounds as they reached him on the hill - top , seemed as if they arose from two persons playing . at the same time the younger boy stopped , and after saying " your father is coming , " he stole away , under cover of the high grass , to his hollow tree , which was not far off .
