So the old man took his turn and stood at the middle of the room. It was his chance to beat him. He displayed one hell of a dance himself, knowing that he had no choice but to win. Otherwise he goes for a trip with the devil. The devil had a broad smile on again. He was still convinced he had the old man beat. But just as the old man was at the last stage of his dance, and the devil thinking he's got him, he positioned his feet in such a way as to make a sign of the cross. The devil was apparently shaken upon witnessing this move for the first time. He watched the old man carefully as he continued his dance. Again the old man crossed his feet to form a cross which shuddered the devil even more. Upon making his move the third time, the devil was dev? astated and couldn't take anymore. He turned quietly, opened the door and ran. When the old man saw this, he took off af? ter him. The devil was moving at a good speed but the old man was not to be left too far behind. He chased him as far as the old bridge where the devil almost slipped, and stayed with him till he saw him turn into a ball of fire and then dis? appear. He was never bothered by him again till long after. NAQMASIANUK AMALKAMK TE'SIPOWIKATAMK. "KAQMA'SIT TO'Q KISIKU APP NEKM MEKWAYIK. KWETNU'KWAISIT KISI WISUOQTESKMUAN WLA MNTU'I.
