giants, the air reeking with the corruption.
Not one In ten of these seemed slaughtered
except for their hides. A single quarter, al
hump, or even the tongue sometimes, was
taken but more usually nothing, save the
hide and often not this. Were the race as
numerous as the frogs Of Egypt, they could
require small standing army to enforce a
law against the wholesale and wanton de-
struction here. / would rather be vigilance

passed,
Across the Frenchman's Fork, we are ex-
pecting to find buffaloes to-day. for we have
seen them not far off with our glass. "But
there's many slip 'twixt the cup and the
| lip" and G buffalo is slippery enough unless
hunted on level ground on horseback, and
besides, this day we were to see Colorado
wind and dust storm, which, like the simeon
of the African desert, burst upon us almost
without warning In the middle of the
forenoon the bright sky suddenly changed
on the horizon line to an inky blackness,
it rises ike a wall and advances with a
rapidity which scarcely admits Of any pre-
paration to meet it, 1t strikes with terrific
fary. Gust follows gust more furiously than
ever If possible. Dry grass, dust, sand,
gFeyel and sticks, &re flying with a disorder
and fury that leeks as though old Night
and Chaos were again loose The tumult
| and uproar could net have been worse when
Fold Aeolus let his winds out of their cave to
loverWhelm the EJECT of AeReas. I wunceref

Thirst and tl.6 prospect Of a hungry holiday
, for my stomach, with only revolver and q

to protect1rom the cold of November sky,
and pbsnty.of Indians as knew not far off
my cogitations were notparticularly cheerful
But following the canon, soon had the JOY

Sh0ald Id5llow the river and take the wrong
direction before could return, tbs teams
would perhaps have moved on and the com
pany perh&ps be searching for me. AT last
climbing enc of the taLest bluffs andl1ooking
each way to my iDexprcssihle relief ! saw
one of the wagons several miles up the river
How much good that sight did me my read
ers win better know than I can tell them if
one OF them have ever hoen in the same d.
len2aa. Once more together we launched
compared notes and tet well over the fact
that we were in the vicinity Of buffaloea
though none had yet been secured. The
party had seen severGl, and wounded a
couple, VIXEN the Storm arose which put all
end to pursuit. Toward sunset our a dOleg-
cenoe who had much wished the privilege
of Distinguishing himself took my gan and
climbing the bluff of the river was gore for
some time. Suddenly we saw him tumbling
over abe bluff and making for the camp
with l0pe which / presume put his legs
upon The severest duty they had ever ex-
perienced, With eyes Giating and Gtam-
mering speech cur Bob Gcres finally sue
ceeded in pumping ouo in incoherert bits
that sGme bufaloes were headed straight
for the camp just above the bluff. As soon
however as they were descending the bluff
they "caught the wind" Of US and started
down the river. Our best hunter, who had
not yet come ia since the storm, happened
to be in the direction of their fight. Seeing
8 couple, a bull and 9 fine young cow, coming
nearly straight toward him, lie concealed
himself behind g bluff awaiting his opportu-
nifty. Coming within few reads the sight
OF scent Of tho'hunter seemed to alarm the
cow. She paused, locked wildly about,
gave her head the "toss" that is the precur-
sor Of "run," but alas too late. 4 Whit Of
smoke from behind the bluff, eharp report
and she fell almost in her tracks. The shot
was lucky one and had actually pierced
the heart. We were too tired Cor further
pursuit TO- day. Flushed with success as we
were who saw our first slaught cred buffalo,
we thought this glory enough for enc day.
With plenty offresh meat for the present
VIC thought ourselves well off. and trusted
that the future had more liz store for US.
