  Speaker 1: Section eleven. New Robe, the Rescuer. In the long ago,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: before our forefathers had taken this country from the crows.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: They were one summer camping and hunting on the big
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: River of the north. Came the evening of a long
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: hot day, and a boy of eight or nine winters
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Lone Star was his name, failed to return to his
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: parents lodge. The chiefs ordered the camp crier out, and
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: he went all among the lodges, shouting the news and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: asking if any one had seen the boy. None had,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: So then the chiefs ordered all the men and used
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: to go out and try to find him. All that
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: moonlit night and all the next day. They searched the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: surrounding country, but got no trace of him. Every alighting
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: buzzard was marked down, but in every instance it was
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: found to be feed easting upon the remains of game
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: that the hunters had killed. So then, although his body
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: could not be found, most of the people believed that
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the boy was dead. His beautiful sister, Red Cloud Woman,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and his father, Black Bear, thought otherwise, they believed that
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: he had been stolen by the enemy, and publicly all
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: through the camp the two went, the girl vowing that
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: she would marry whoever would find her brother, the old man,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: adding that she had his permission to make the vow.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: There was in the camp a very poor young man
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: named new Robe. So poor was he that he had
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: never owned a new robe, nor a new shirt, nor leggins,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: nor even new moccasins. His father and mother were dead,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and always, as far back as he could remember, he
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: had worn nothing but the used clothes the charitable had
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: given him. He had never been to war, had never
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: done anything to make a name for himself, But now
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: he was eager to start aq west of the missing boy.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: He had long loved the girl, but had never even
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: spoken to her. He now went to her and said,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: tell no one about it. Just silently pray for me.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I am going to travel far in search of your brother,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: said the girl. This is not a time for me
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to hide my heart from you. I have watched you,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: loved you for a very long time. But what could
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I say? Nothing? Well, I knew that my people would
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: not allow me to marry one so poor as you,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: But now there is hope for us. Somehow, I believe
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that this trouble is to be the means of bringing
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: us together. And with that she kissed him, and he
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: went quietly out from camp, unobserved by any one, and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: started southward on his quest. Many days later, in the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: valley of Old Man's River, new Robe came upon an
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: old campground of the enemy crows, of course, for that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: was then their country. From it, he found that they
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: had moved south, and he followed their trail ever along
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the foot of the mountains, and knew that he was
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: fast overtaking them. At the River of Many Chiefs gathering,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: he found live coals in the ashes of their abandoned fireplaces,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and so upon arriving at the top of the ridge
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: overlooking this stream, he was not surprised to see the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: lodges of the great crow camp here right here where
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: we are encamped. To night. They were set up in
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a great circle, and in the center of it was
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: a huge lodge covered with old lodge skins. The crows
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: were having their medicine lodge ceremonies. As soon as night came,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and before the moon arose, new Robe descended the hill
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and entered the camp. The people were, all of them
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: gathered at the medicine Lodge, singing and dancing and fulfilling
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: their vows to the sun. So he went from one
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: living lodge to another, looking into each for some sign
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: of the missing boy. By the time he had made
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the round of the lodges of half the circle, it
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: was midnight and the people were beginning to go home
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: to sleep. He left the camp and went back on
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the ridge, having found no trace of the one for
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: whom he searched. The next night, new Robe descended the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: ridge and searched the lodges of the other half of
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the circle, and found not what he sought. When he
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: had finished, the people were still gathered at the medicine Lodge,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and desperate, and knowing well the great risk that he
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: would incur, he went toward it and stood at the
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: outer edge of the great crowd and watched the ceremonial
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: dancing of the different warrior clans. He kept his face
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: partly concealed with his old robe, and moved from place
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to place around the outer circle of the people, and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: none observed him, so intent were they upon watching the dancers.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: At last, during a quiet interval between dances. He imagined
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that he heard someone groaning, But look where he would,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: he could see no one in distress, nor could he
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: locate the exact place from which the groaning came. It
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: was a light, voiced groaning, such as a child would make.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: He felt sure that it came from little Lone Star,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: somewhere in that great lodge, And in great pain, he
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: left the place, went outside the circle of lodges and
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: lay down. It was long past midnight when the people
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: returned to their lodges. Then, as soon as the camp
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: became quiet, new Robe returned to the medicine lodge, and, listening,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: heard faint groaning and located it. It came from the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: top of the center post, where all the sacrifices to
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the Sun were hung. He was sure then that it
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: was no other than Lone Star up there, lashed to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the post, a living sacrifice to the Sun, and there
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to die. Well. He knew that there within the lodge
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: were sleeping the women who had vowed to build the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: great structure in honor of the Sun. And there too,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: in his secret walled off little inner lodge, slept the
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: medicine man, whose duty it was to drive back approaching
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: thunder clouds and rain. He had to risk awakening them.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: He had at least to attempt to rescue the boy,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: so casting off his robe, he climbed the outer wall
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: of the lodge and from it crawled along one of
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the big, long poles that slanted up to the center post.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: There he found lone star, firmly lashed to one of
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: its forks, and so far gone that he could no
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: longer even groan. Silently, very carefully, new robe unwound the lashing,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and then, fastening an end of it under the boy's arms,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: let him down to the ground. He then descended and
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: found that the boy was so numb that he could
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: not walk. There was but one thing to do. Then
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: he took the helpless one upon his back, stole out
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: of the lodge, and started with him across the big campground.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Dawn had come as he was passing the circle of lodges.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: An early riser. A woman saw him, and with her
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: shrieks aroused all the nearby sleepers. They rushed out warriors
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: and youths, the women following and overtook him. He made
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: no resistance. He could have left the boy and made
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: his own escape, but he would not do that. Several
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: old warriors seized him and the boy and hurried them
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: to the lodge of the head Chief, the women and
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the youth following and crying out that they be killed.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Inside the lodge, the chief motioned them to seats, and
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: in signs asked new Robe what he had to say
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: for himself. I came not to harm you, new Robe answered,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: nor to take from you anything that is yours. I
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: came to find this boy and take him back to
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: his morning father, and mother and sister. And where did
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I find him? Tied to the center post of your
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: medicine lodge, there to die from want of water and food,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: A living but dying sacrifice to the sun. That were
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: too cruel a thing to do. I ask you not
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to put him back there. If he is to die,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I die with him. Shoot us, stab us, kill us
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: in any way you choose, so that our death be quick.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: The chief gave him no answer to that. He counseled
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: with the other chiefs for a long time, and at
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: last signed to him, you are so brave that we
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: shall give you and the boy a chance for your lives.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: You are to remain here in this lodge to day
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: to night, tomorrow and the following night. My young men
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: will keep watch on you, so do not attempt to escape.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: On the morning following your second night here, you are
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to be given your chance to leave us unharmed. I
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: shall not now tell you what that chance will be.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: And then turning to his men, he gave them certain orders,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: and they hurried from the lodge. During the two days
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and two nights, new Robe prayed as he had never
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: had before, prayed for strength and courage to succeed in
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: whatever he should be told to do. The people of
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the lodge treated him and the boy well. They did
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: not want for food nor anything else that would make
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: for their comfort. Early in the morning after the second night,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the chief signed to him, it is not my fault,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: nor the fault of my under chiefs, that you have
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: to undergo this trial for your life and that of
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the boy. This day my people were crying for your lives.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: They wanted to drag you two out from here and
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: fill your body with arrows. I did not want them
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to do that. My counsel of chiefs did not want
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: it done. So we counseled together and hit upon a
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: way to give you a chance for your lives. It
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: is not an easy thing that you have to attempt,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: but I hope you will succeed, and whatever happens, believe this,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I have done the best for you that I could
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: a little later, soon after the morning meal, the chief
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: signed the two captives to follow him and led them
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to the medicine lodge. In front of it were seven
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: fresh buffalo bull heads, which a number of men were skinning,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and out in front of them in a great half
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: circle were gathered to every man, woman and child of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the mountain Crow tribe. New Robe wondered what was to
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: be done with the seven buffalo heads. He suspected that
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: they were to be in some way used in his
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: trial for life. Come the chief signed and led him
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and the boy to the entrance of the man Edison lodge.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: There they stood the mark of many flashing angry eyes.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: And presently the skinners finished their work, and an old
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: chief placed the shining skulls in a line out from
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: the doorway of the lodge, each one of them a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: long step distant from the other. Again, the head chief
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: made signs to new Robe, this is your trial for life.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: He said, you are to take the boy on your
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: back and step from one to the other of those
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: skulls until you step upon the last one pass from
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: it to the ground. If you succeed in doing that,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: you and the boy are free to go to your home,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and none of my people shall harm you on your way.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: But should you slip from a skull, and even so
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: much as touch the ground with your toe to save
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: your balance, then the warrior standing out there will fall
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: upon you and kill you both. New Robe looked long
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: at the seven skulls, considering what he should do. Being
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: freshly skinned, he knew that they were very slippery, and
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: then which would be safest to step slowly, carefully from
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: one to another, or make a run across them, touching
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: each one quickly lightly. They were far apart, too far
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: for slow deliberate stepping. He concluded that the thing to
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: do was to start running from the back of the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: lodge and go along the line of them as fast
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: as he could with his burden. He signed to the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: chief that he would do that, and led the boy
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to the back of the lodge. While going there, another
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: thought came to him. He got back of the boy
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: and stooped, and while pretending to fix the young one's
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: belt and leggins kept spitting in two places upon the ground.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: He then stepped squarely in each pool of the spit,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and then upon soft ground, and coated his moccasin soles
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: with the sandy earth, then suddenly swinging the boy to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: his back, and running swiftly across the lodge, He lit
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: upon the first skull with his right foot and went
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: leaping on from one to another as fast as he
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: could with the weight upon his back. The third skull
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: began to turn with him, and he made a weak
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: leap from it, barely alighting upon the next. But it
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: held firm, and he made a sure leap from it
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: to the next, and from that to the next, and
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: then stepping squarely upon the seventh. The last skull, passed
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: from it to the ground, and released the boy from
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: his back. The crowd stood silent, sullen, watching him. The
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: head chief came to his side and spoke to them,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: and they suddenly broke out in loud cheers. The chief
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: then signed to new Robe, there is one thing more
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: you are asked to do before we send you home.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: You do not have to do it, but we hope
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: that you will come with me. They went to the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: lodge of a young chief, And when they were seated,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the chief signed to new Robe, my father, once a
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: great chief, is an old man. He does not want
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: to die of old age and long and painful illness,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: and he wants a chance to kill one more enemy
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: before he dies. He wants to fight you. If he
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: kills you, then that will be good. If you kill him,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: then you shall have his war horse and all his weapons,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and I will give you a fine present, and you
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and the boy shall go to your home in perfect safety.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Now what say you to that I have no weapons?
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: New Robe objected, weapons you shall have, The other replied,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: all the warriors of the camp are anxious to loan
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: you what they have. You shall go with me and
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: examine what they have until you find just what you want.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: New Robe considered the matter. If he won out, what honor,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: what a coup it would be to return to his
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: people with the weapons and the war horse of his enemy.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: If he lost, if he was killed, A sudden doubt
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: struck him, and he asked, if I fall, what will
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: become of the boy? We promise you now the chiefs
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: both answered that in that case, some of us will
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: take the boy to within sight of the camp of
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: your people, and send him safely to it. I take
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: your word for that, and now give me my weapons,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: said new Robe. He was offered his choice of many
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: bows and spears, war clubs and knives, but took only
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: a short lithe bow and a handful of well feathered arrows. Then,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: standing within the circle of the lodges, he awaited the
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: coming of the old chief. He soon appeared, wearing a
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: beautiful war costume and riding a sorrow pinto war horse.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: And now dressed as he was and easily controlling his
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: fiery tempered mount, he did not seem to be so
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: very old. At a distance, one would have thought him
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: a young warrior. His weapon in hand was a long
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: scalp tufted spear. On his back he carried a bow
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and otter skin quiver of arrows, and in his belt
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: in a handsome sheath quill embroidered was his knife, said
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: new Robe to himself. He looked strong, and he is brave. Well,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I too must be brave and watchful. Forth and back
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: across the other side of the big circle rode the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: old man, singing a war song, brandishing his spear, keeping
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: his prancing war horse well in hand, and then suddenly
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: urging him forward, he came swift as the wind at
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: new Robe, and he, dropping his tattered wrap, awaited his
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: coming with ready bow. On he came, shouting his war cry,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and when quite close new Robe let fly his long
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and heavy shafted arrow. It struck the old warrior fair
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: in the ribs. He flinched, the mounting blood, choking off
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: his war cry. But on he came, and with a
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: last great effort, hurled his spear and fell from his
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: horse and died. Died without knowing that the weapon had
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: passed high over new Robe's head. And then what a
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: shout went up from all the people, Shouts of honor
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: for the old chief who had preferred death in battle
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: instead of in his lodge, and shouts too for the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: young man who had so bravely faced him. New Robe
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: knew not what to do. He stood looking this way
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: that way uncertainly. Then came to him, the son of
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: the old dead chief, and signed to him to take
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the horse and the weapons of his enemy. And he
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: did so. Then the young man brought to him another horse,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: a big and black. I said that I would give
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: you something. He signed, and here it is. The boy
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: can ride it home. You may now go, both of you,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: and go without fear of pursuit. Not a man in
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: this camp shall follow you. And without wasting any time,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: the two mounted the horses and rode northward away from
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the camp. In the Blackfeet camp, Lone Star's father and
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: mother grieved more and more for the loss of him,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: but his sister, Red Cloud, woman would not believe that
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: he was dead, had somehow faith that he was alive,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: that new Robe would find him and bring him safely home.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: And at last, when she saw that her father and
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: mother were likely to go mad from grief, she told
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: them that new Robe had gone in search of the boy,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: and that she would marry him even if he returned alone.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Morning after morning, she went up on a butte close
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: to camp and watched the great play Lane stretching away
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: to the south, and all day long, and often on
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: her couch at night, prayed for the safe return of
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: brother and lover. And then, at last, after many many
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: days of worried watching, she saw two riders coming from
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the south across the plain, and sure that they were
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: those she had been praying for, ran to meet them.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: They were the missing ones. They sprang from their fine horses,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: and she kissed first her brother, and then clung to
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: new robe. I am right now your woman, she cried,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: and kissed him again. And I am proud to be
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: your woman, she went on. So take me up behind you,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: and we will all ride home. She got up behind
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: him on his prancing war horse, and as they rode in,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: he quickly told her of his adventures, and how at
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: last he had fought and killed the old war chief,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: and for that had been given the two horses and
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: all the weapons and fine war cloth. She saw. So
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: it was that, coming into camp, she had the tale
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: of his brave deeds to shout to the people, and they,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: gathering close round, honored his name and gave him a
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: chief's greeting. Yes, the poor orphan had, within the length
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: of one moon, become a chief, and had made a
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: mourning father and mother happy. That very night he and
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Red Cloud woman were given a lodge of their own,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: and their happiness was complete. End of Section eleven.
