But bye and bye the grieving of Wau- pee reached her from his lonely lodge in the forest, and she knew that he was wasted with famine and weak with fasting, and that already 48 The White Canoe Pau-guk, the Death Phantom, was lurking near him in the shadows. Then the Star-Maiden grew lonely and sad, and she sang no more with her sisters, neither did she go with them on their journeys over the plains of Starland. Her heart was with her hus- band on the earth, and she longed to be with him and to ...comfort him in his loneliness. One day 0-jis-hon-da called his daughter to him and said: 'T have beheld your sadness, my daughter, and it is my will that all about me should be happy. It is not permitted that a Daugh- ter of the Stars should live upon the earth, neither may you now be satisfied in Starland without your lover. Take the basket and silver balls and go back to earth and bring the White Hawk to live with us in the Land of the Stars. But tell him that as an offering for his bride he must bring to us, not blankets, and skins, and wampum, but he must bring to us one of every creature that walks or flies or crawls upon the earth.
