+weendigoes-and-the-bone-dwarf,"the hunter 's son followed , and having come to the tree , he beheld the face of the boy looking out through an opening in the hollow part . "" ha ! ha ! "" he said , "" my friend , come out and play with me ; "" and he urged the boy till he consented . they played and shot their arrows by turns . suddenly the young boy said , "" your father is coming . we must stop . promise me that you will not tell him . "" the hunter 's son promised , and the other disappeared in the tree . when the hunter returned from the chase , his son sat demurely by the fire . in the course of the evening he asked his father to make him a new bow ; and when he was questioned as to the use he could find for two bows , he answered that one might break or get lost . the father pleased at his son 's diligence in the practice of the bow , made him the two weapons ; and the next day , as soon as his father had gone away , the boy ran to the hollow tree , and invited his little friend to come out and play ; at the same time presenting to him the new bow . they went and played in the lodge together , and in their sport they raised the ashes all over it . suddenly again the youngest said , "" your father is coming , i must leave . "" 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 .

"" why , my son , "" he said "" you must play very hard every day ; and what is it that you do , all alone , to throw the lodge in such confusion ? "" the boy again had his excuse .

"" the hunter was not satisfied until his son had shown him how he played with the blanket , which he did so adroitly as to set his father laughing , and at last drive him out of the lodge with the great clouds of ashes that he raised . the next morning the boy renewed his request that his father should be absent all day , and see if he could not kill two deer . the hunter thought this a strange desire on the part of his son , but as he had always humored the boy , he went into the forest as usual , bent on accomplishing his wish , if he could . as soon as he was out of sight , his son hastened to his young companion at the tree , and they continued their sports . the father on nearing his home in the evening , as he reached the rising ground , again heard the sounds of play and laughter ; and as the wind brought them straight to his ear , he was now certain that there were two voices . the boy from the tree had no more than time to escape , when the hunter entered , and found his son , sitting as usual , near the fire . when he cast his eyes around , he saw that the lodge was in greater confusion than before .

"" the bird is mine , "" said maidwa , to himself . but to his great surprise , instead of seeing it droop its neck and drift to the shore , the red swan flapped its wings , rose slowly , and flew off with a majestic motion toward the falling sun . maidwa , that he might meet his brothers , rescued two of the magic arrows from the water ; and although the third was borne off , he had a hope yet to recover that too , and to be master of the swan . he was noted for his speed ; for he would shoot an arrow and then run so fast that the arrow always fell behind him ; and he now set off at his best speed of foot . "" i can run fast , "" he thought , "" and i can get up with the swan some time or other . "" he sped on , over hills and prairies , toward the west , and was only going to take one more run , and then seek a place to sleep for the night , when , suddenly , he heard noises at a distance , like the murmur of waters against the shore . as he went on , he heard voices , and presently he saw people , some of whom were busy felling trees , and the strokes of their labor echoed through the woods . he passed on , and when he emerged from the forest , the sun was just falling below the edge of the sky . he was bent on success in pursuit of the swan , whose red track he marked well far westward till she was lost to sight . meanwhile he would tarry for the night and procure something to eat , as he had fasted since he had left home . at a distance , on a rising ground , he could see the lodges of a large village . he went toward it , and soon heard the watchman , who was set on a height to overlook the place , and give notice of the approach of friends or foes , crying out , "" we are visited ; "" and a loud halloo indicated that they had all heard it . when maidwa advanced , the watchman pointed to the lodge of the chief .

' who 's there ? let me go !

' your trouble is all in vain , king kojata ; i will only let you go on condition that you give me something you know nothing about , and which you will find on your return home . ' the king did n't pause to ponder long , ' for what , ' thought he , ' could be in my palace without my knowing about it -- the thing is absurd ; ' so he answered quickly : ' yes , i promise that you shall have it . ' the voice replied , ' very well ; but it will go ill with you if you fail to keep your promise . ' then the claws relaxed their hold , and the face disappeared in the depths . the king drew his chin out of the water , and shook himself like a dog ; then he mounted his horse and rode thoughtfully home with his retinue . the palace of the magician was all hewn out of a single carbuncle , lighting up the whole surrounding region , and prince milan walked into it gaily . the magician sat on a throne , a sparkling crown on his head ; his eyes blazed like a green fire , and instead of hands he had claws . as soon as prince milan entered he flung himself on his knees . the magician stamped loudly with his feet , glared frightfully out of his green eyes , and cursed so loudly that the whole underworld shook . but the prince , mindful of the counsel he had been given , was n't the least afraid , and approached the throne still on his knees . at last the magician laughed aloud and said , ' you rogue , you have been well advised to make me laugh ; i wo n't be your enemy any more . welcome to the underworld ! all the same , for your delay in coming here , we must demand three services from you . for to - day you may go , but to - morrow i shall have something more to say to you . ' then two servants led prince milan to a beautiful apartment , and he lay down fearlessly on the soft bed that had been prepared for him , and was soon fast asleep . early the next morning the magician sent for him , and said , ' let 's see now what you 've learnt . in the first place you must build me a palace to - night , the roof of purest gold , the walls of marble , and the windows of crystal ; all round you must lay out a beautiful garden , with fish - ponds and artistic waterfalls . if you do all this , i will reward you richly ; but if you do n't , you shall lose your head .

' many thanks , prince milan , for your courtesy . i am the daughter of a wicked magician , and my name is hyacinthia . my father has thirty young daughters , and is a mighty ruler in the underworld , with many castles and great riches . he has been expecting you for ages , but you need have no fear if you will only follow my advice . as soon as you come into the presence of my father , throw yourself at once on the ground and approach him on your knees . do n't mind if he stamps furiously with his feet and curses and swears . i 'll attend to the rest , and in the meantime we had better be off .

' well , you certainly are a splendid workman , ' he said to the prince . ' i see you are very clever with your hands , now i must see if you are equally accomplished with your head . i have thirty daughters in my house , all beautiful princesses . to - morrow i will place the whole thirty in a row . you must walk past them three times , and the third time you must show me which is my youngest daughter hyacinthia . if you do n't guess rightly , you shall lose your head .

"" the king did not allow me to be tied any more . he said there was nothing so much to wonder at as that i cut the hand off , and i tied . the child was growing till he was a year old , and he was beginning to walk , and there was no one caring for him more than i was . he was growing till he was three , and he was running out every minute . so the king ordered a silver chain to be put between me and the child , so that he might not go away from me . i was out with him in the garden every day , and the king was as proud as the world of the child . he would be watching him every place we went , till the child grew so wise that he would loose the chain and get off . but one day that he loosed it i failed to find him . i ran into the house and searched the house , but there was no getting him for me . the king cried to go out and find the child , that he had got loose from the dog . they went searching for him , but they could not find him . when they failed altogether to find him , there remained no more favour with the king towards me , and everyone disliked me , and i grew weak , for i did not get a morsel to eat half the time . when summer came i said i would try and go home to my own country . i went away one fine morning , and i went swimming , and god helped me till i came home . i went into the garden , for i knew there was a place in the garden where i could hide myself , for fear she should see me . in the morning i saw my wife out walking , and my child with her , held by the hand . i pushed out to see the child , and , as he was looking about him everywhere , he saw me , and called out , "" i see my shaggy papa . oh , "" said he ; "" oh , my heart 's love , my shaggy papa , come here till i see you . "" i was afraid the woman would see me , as she was asking the child where he saw me , and he said i was up in a tree . the more the child called me , the more i hid myself . the woman took the child home with her , but i knew he would be up early in the morning . i went to the parlour window , and the child was within , and he playing . when he saw me , he cried out , "" oh , my heart 's love , come here till i see you , shaggy papa . "" i broke the window , and went in , and he began to kiss me . i saw the rod in front of the chimney , and i jumped up at the rod and knocked it down . "" oh , my heart 's love , no one would give me the pretty rod .

"" he struck me a light blow , and as there was no sin on him , i came back to my own shape again . when he saw a man standing before him he gave a cry , and i took him up in my arms . the servants heard the child . a maid came in to see what was the matter with him . when she saw me she gave a cry out of her , and she said , "" oh , my soul to god , if the master is n't come to life again .
