Dreamer, the hero of the story, seeks the solitude of the forest and the sea shore. He loves music and the beauties of nature. His beloved reed pipe is always with him, and he imitates the notes of the song birds and the moan of the sea. The members of his tribe despise him; for they look upon him as the soft-handed one, who has no love for battle or the chase. But Starlight, the only daughter of the chief of the tribe, loves him. Her father tries to force her to wed a visiting chief, but Starlight refuses. The stranger chief induces the medicine man to place Starlight in a deep sleep. Soon afterwards he meets Dreamer and is killed m conflict. Dreamer then demands Starlight from her father and rushes off to find her. He comes upon her in the cave of the medicine man, but cannot arouse her. The medicine man also attempts to awaken her and fails. Then she is mourned by her father and' the tribe as one who is dead. Dreamer then remembers an old Indian legend about a wonderful wind pipe, made from the thigh bone of a great chief. Notes from it, so the legend ran, would bring back the dead to life. After great effort he succeeds in finding the instrument, and restores Starlight to life.
