chase horses, and singularly enough
took with him female friend TO solace
his hours of travel. Together they

said-purchased fourteen horses during
their travels. They finally reached a
wigwam, where the gentleman told his
story, and representing himselfand wife
as tired and weary, they sought repose

putting on his war paint and buckling
on his tomahawk, he started on the trail
of the couple, who had left his lodge in
the early dawn. The trail was fresh,
and was easily found and followed till it
struck the banks of the gently flowing
Blanchard. He followed on again, and,

found it all out, even to the fact that the
brave he had sheltered was another
squaw's big Injun," and that the squaw
who had repose in his wigwam was the
property of another chief Then he
went away murmuring white man no
lookee much straight in eye; no fool big
Injun me. Squaw no good. Ugh
