little and Lottie, now in the early bloom
of beautiful womanhood.
They look alike, are dressed alike
and are exceedingly beautiful.
Lottie held a letter in her hand which
the mounted mail carrier had left as be
swept by.
'Oh mamma, mamma! brother is
coming home He says lie will be here
before the sun sets on the twenty fifth
The letter is from Fort Kearney, and
has been long inicoming.p'l
is rot to-day the twenty-fifth 7 asked
Lottie. t.sJ-.f ss+ l.4.a.
ITO be sureit is, and he will be here.
Our William is wild, but he never tells
a falsehood. He is too proud for that
Heaven bless hin !" said the mother, in
low, earnest tone.
He is not coming alone" said Little
''He brings two friends with him.
+" 1t lacks scarce a half hour of sunset,
said the mother.
AT the same instant Little, who had
been glancing through an avenue which
led westward in the grove, cried out
'They are comingI They are COM
ing. a.}.lae
And three minutes later, their horses
frothy and hot, three riders at full speed
dashed up tOthe gate fronting the cot
tage. aoaz 90 .oi-.li-
''0h brother! brotherl" cried the
two sister, joyouAly, and all needless of
the stranger eyes now looking on them,
they rushed out to embrace and kiss
him.
Buffalo Bill, for this was be, had
learned to hide all his feelings, but with
q gentlese nderness he shook himself
out Of their embraces, and presenting
bis two friends BY name hurried on to
meet the dear mother, who, with
gliSteuing eyes, waited to greet her idol
and her guide. -
Ny good motherI' was eli he said,
as he pressed his manly lips to her white
forehead.
'Ay dear SOM was ali she said, but
pages would not describe the reverence
in bis tone, or the undyiug love in her
look.
Bill now presented his friends in more
form to his mother than he had deemed
it necessary in the case of his sisters.
"This mother" said he, presenting
young man who, in form and ap-
pearsnce, Tesembled himselfvery closely
though he was an inch taller and hard
ly so muscular, '.this is nv mate-this
is Bill Hitchcock, the best friend ever
had, or ever will have, outside of our
own family. Three times has be saved
me from being wiped out Once by
the 0gallaiss, once when l was taken
with the cramps in the ice-cold Platte,
last winter-and once when old Jake
M'Kandlas and his gang had sure set
on rue. He and l will sink or swim in
the same river, and that's safe bet
Bill that's my mother, and better
never trod the footstoolP'
Wild Bill, with natural grace, bent
bis proud head and took the hand of the
lady, saying ina tremploqt tone;
'I'm glad to see you, ms'am, for
I've got good mother that 1 haven't
seen this many day, and this ther
brings her up afore me"
And this other continued Bill, lis
Dave Tut. He is good on a hunt
death on the reds, and as smart as bor-
dermen are made nowadays. Now,
boys, you're all ACCOUNTED, make your
selves at home. The darkey out there
has got the horses, and bell see them
all right
Three more perfect men in Poiut of
personal beauty never trod the earth.
Wild Bill, six feet aud one inch in
hight straight as sn ash, broad in
shoulder, round and full in chest, slen-
der in the waist swelling out in mus
cular proportions at hips and thighs,
with tsperiDg limps, small hands and
feet, his form was a study. His face,
open and clean, and regular features,
,be nose slightly aguiline. His large
bright eyes, DOW soft and tender in ex-
preston, were a blush gray in color,
shaped by lashes which often dropped
over bis bronzed cheek as he looked |
loyD, somewhat confused in female |
society, to which he vas unused. His |
ong brown hair fell in wavy masses
,ver his shoulder, but it was fine, soft |
Ind glossy and silk.
The same picture will do for Buffalo
Bill, only this difference noted. The
yes of the latter were nearer blue in
,Olor, bis hight one inch less, and his
lair a little more WsYy and shade
ighter.
Dave Tut, nearly of the same hight,
vas equally well formed, but there the
esemblsnce ceased.
His eyes were black as jet and deep
: set, though bis features vera perfect
nd, when be chose, his expression soft
nd Winning. His hair, curling slight
7, was black and glossy. But with all
is beauty, there was a sensual express
ion about his mouth, 80 utterly differ
nt from that in the other tRe, sad .
