they saw the stream flow by, on and up

turf was brown where it had been. The
spring was choked, and the wagon was
trampled in fiat ruin.
Fascinated by the sight, Moat and
Arthur never took their eyes from it un

young charges, they saw tall, gaunt
woman, with horror-strlcken face, gath

A. Buffalo Stampede.
From the St. Nicholas for March. ]

| Passing out between the hills, the
young fellows found themselves on a
nearly level plain. Here, too, was a
dense crowd OF buffaloes, stretching of
to the undulatlng horizon. AS the two
lexpiorers walked on. a wide lane seemed
to open in the mighty herds before them.
lInsensibly, and without any hurry, the
left, browsing or staring, but continually
moving. Looking back they saw the
buffaloes had closed up their ranks on
the trail which they had first pursued; /;
while before, and on either hand, was a
wall of animals.
"We are surroundedW almost whis-
pered Arthur, with some alarm.
"Never mind, my boy. We can walk

In reply to Monps surprised question
as to how they came of the wall, and
why they were here alone, they said that
