he was clasping the wooden doll . And when he saw it was the doll he pushed it from him in his misery and rushed away to the camp , and told them all his story . And some doubted , and they went back with him to the place where he and his wife had stopped to rest , and there lay the doll , and besides , they saw in the snow the steps of two people , and the foot of one was like the foot of the doll . And the man grieved sore all the days of his life . IN THE LAND OF SOULS -LRB- 21 -RRB- -LRB- 21 -RRB- From the Red Indian . Far away , in North America , where the Red Indians dwell , there lived a long time ago a beautiful maiden , who was lovelier than any other girl in the whole tribe . Many of the young braves sought her in marriage , but she would listen to one only -- a handsome chief , who had taken her fancy some years before . So they were to be married , and great rejoicings were made , and the two looked forward to a long life of happiness together , when the very night before the wedding feast a sudden illness seized the girl , and , without a word to her friends who were weeping round her , she passed silently away . The heart of her lover had been set upon her , and the thought of her remained with him night and day . He put aside his bow , and went neither to fight nor to hunt , but from sunrise to sunset he sat by the place where she was laid , thinking of his happiness that was buried there . At last , after many days , a light seemed to come to him out of the darkness . He remembered having heard from the old , old people of the tribe , that there was a path that led to the Land of Souls -- that if you sought carefully you could find it . So the next morning he got up early , and put some food in his pouch and slung an extra skin over his shoulders , for he knew not how long his journey would take , nor what sort of country he would have to go through . Only one thing he knew , that if the path was there , he would find it . At first he was puzzled , as there seemed no reason he should go in one direction more than another . Then all at once he thought he had heard one of the old men say that the Land of Souls lay to the south , and so , filled with new hope and courage , he set his face southwards . For many , many miles the country looked the same as it did round his own home . The forests , the hills , and the rivers all seemed exactly like the ones he had left . The only thing that was different was the snow , which had lain thick upon the hills and trees when he started , but grew less and less the farther he went south , till it disappeared altogether . Soon the trees put forth their buds , and flowers sprang up under his feet , and instead of thick clouds there was blue sky over his head , and everywhere the birds were singing .
Then he knew that he was XXXXX the right road .
