Not SO Green as He Looked.

Buffalo Bill tells pleasant tale of jump
ing on his favorite horse. Brigham" and
riding out of camp at the alarm of a herd
of buffalo, says an exchange. 1t was
at time when he and his comrades were
short of meat, and consequently longing
for buffalo steak. He says:
While l was riding toward the buffaloes,
l saw five horsemen from the fort, who
were evidently going out for chase. They
proved TO be newly arrived officers, a cap
tain and his lieutenants.
Hello, my friend" sang out the captain,
Il see you are after the same game that
We are"
Yes. sir" said l.
They scanned my cheap outfit very close
~, and as my horse looked like a work
horse, and had on only blind bride. they
evidently considered me a green hand al
hunting
DO you expect TO catch those buffaloes
on that Gothic steed?" laughed the cap
tain
Il hope so. by pushing hard enough on
the reins, was my reply.
you'll never catch them in the world
my fine fellow" said he 'It takes fast
horse to do that"
Does it?" asked /, as if 1 didn't know.
Yes, but come along with u.s. for we
are going to kill them more for pleasure
than anything else. All we want are the
tongues and a piece of tenderloin, and Won
may have all that is left"
Much obliged to you, captain" said 1
'I'll follow you"
There were eleven buffaloes in the herd
and they were not more than a mile ahead
saw they were making toward the creek
Tor water, and started up that way TO
mead them off, while the officers came ur,
IN the rear, and gave chase. The animals
came rushing past me, not a hundred
yards distant, with the officers 800 wards
in the rear M
l pulled the blind bride off my horse
ana ne, trained hunter, knew exactly
what TO do. He started at the top of his
speed, ana brought me alongside the rear
ounalo. raised my gun. fired and killed
ire animal at the first shot NV horse
theh carried me alongside the next one.
and l droAped him at the next fire.
Then 1 killed the eleven buffaloes with
Twelve shots, and as the last animal drop
ped my horse stopped Remember 7 bad
oeen riding him. without bride, reins or
saddle; but Jumped to the ground know
ing he would not leave me. The aston
ished officers were just riding up.
