She rapidly pined away, and finally ended her earthly existence in the same manner as Weosma, exclaiming: "Bama pe ning ga wa ba ma," which translated means, "I will see him by and by." The two mounds mark the spot where the lovers were laid to rest side by side and the silent forest has kept the secret for more than a century.

Frequently we find more than one legend regard- ing a certain place. This is largely accounted for by the n...ot uncommon custom of adopting stories of friendly tribes, which often passed current from one to the other. For example, the writer has heard at least three different legends as to the origin of Mackinac Island, all of which were au- thentic Indian stories. Following is another version of the Sleeping Bear: From the land of the Illinois word came to the tribes of Michigan that a giant black bear had made its appearance and was killing many people and devastating the country. In vain had the boldest hunters essayed to match their strength and skill with that of the great "muckwah." It was said that he was so large and powerful that he paid no atten- tion whatever to arrows or spears; but knocked over the strongest warriors with a mere slap of his huge paw and devoured men, women and children.
