faces of the tribes will be blrck when we 90
back without scalps. What has my brother to
say to that?" asked the chief
That if we go back without sCalps, we are
fools |" said NJ Kandlas, quietly. If the gun |
Of Big Maple misses fire, does he throw itaway, |
or pick the flint and try it again? There are
more days and nights than one, and plenty OF
pale faces are scattered about the plains. The |!
| Hawk of the Hills knows other settlements
which we can reach in two or three days jour
ney. We can 20 there for plunder and scalps
and then come back here, and when the fight
| ing men are not here or are asleep We can
sprinkle the bones of our dead with the blood
of vengence where they fell.
The Hawk Of the Hills speaks like man
The heart of Big Maple was weak. 1t is strong
again. The warriors will cook meat and eat
while their horses rest and feed.
Light blazing fires emitting scarcely any
smoke were now made from dry tWigS, and the
warriors made hearty meal the first for twen-
ty-fOur hours. 1t was not finished when an
alarm was given by scout White men
mounted and armed were coming IN from the
South.
"They are not those we fought last night |"
said NJ Kandlas "They have not had time
to get to this side Of the river. will ride out
, alone and see who they are Let my red broth
ers remain where they are ready to fight or to
Y fee, if they see that | am among their enc
) mics
r "The Hawk of the fields is great brave.
His words are good and his deeds go with
| them" said the Cheyenne chief.
Nj KandlaS now mounted his horse, put a
: bit of white cloth on the ramrod Of his rife and
4 rode out from the shelter of the grove toward
the group of advancing horsemen, some ten or
d a dozen in number.
They halted as soon as he was observed and
Y seemed to look to their arms.
:, He rode boldly on until within two or three
hundred yards when shout Of recognition rOst
l. on both sides and men rode rapidly to NEE
It him.
, They were his own men from the Blacl
le Hills, whom he had left there to carry on hi
g, business of pilaging emigrant trains, while h
a came down on an expedition on his own privat
rs account.
"Why are you here?" he asked, as the
Sc rode up. What did you leave Cave CauyO
ne for p
in Because we got sarched out, and scorche
OF out and whipped out'' said one who seemed
in head the party.
BY "Well, boys, Tn glad you are here, fc

up NJ Kandlas now turned and rode back Wi
he, his men to the grove, so busy in talking wi
)ng them that he did not notice a single person
a hill beyond the river, who had evidently sc
1ul- all his movements, and who rode off swif
lose when the rufhan leader entered the grove
There are warriors from my band in
the Black Hills, come to fight by the side OF tn
loz- chef!' said NJ Kandlas to the Cheyenne chi
that as he aud his men rode up among the can

the They are welcome as the rain when
earth is dry. Big Maple is glad to see tn
BOD here.

che " and let your horses rest and feed till we
