Not illustrated. 1917 Excerpt: ... he could not disengage it, so that he was in danger of being drowned. Suddenly the thought came to him, "Why am I so foolish? I can turn into a frog, and the water will not hurt me." He did so, and remained in the water, calling for his brothers. They heard him, brought the canoe, and took him in. Later on Left-Arm fell in love with a maiden named Ring-aroundthe-Ankle (Kinpa'tcintEn). She was carried away by enemies from the Columbia River country to a place near Kettle Falls. Left-Arm set out to search for her, and wandered about a long time. He owned a bone charm covered with rattlesnake-poison. Instead of carrying it on his person, he had embedded it under the neck-skin of his wolfdog. Therefore his luck turned. Ring-around-the-Ankle carved a rock near the falls so that it resembled a canoe. Finally Left-Arm found her and tried to escape with her. However, they were overtaken and captured.

They lived on the mountains, hunting moose and other game. One day Left-Arm was wounded while hunting, and he knew that he was going to die. He told his wife to take the wolf-dog and to return to her people. Then his spirit passed away. Ring-around-the-Ankle did as Left-Arm had told her. The dog ran away and joined the wolves. As it was still carrying the bone charm, Ring-around-the-Ankle tried to persuade it to return, but she did not succeed. 3. The Warrior And His Faithless Wife.
