oI the white mans ways. Clad in rfrs wild garb of her tribe, she has gone about speaking in lodges, wandering over mountain trails. and in festive as semblages.
 She would wait unseen and unknown about village until she would find the Indians in mood to fittingly receive her message. Often she would wait until sun dance or a dance of the wolf and the ghost. Then. suddenly leaping through the lines of the half-crazed braves. she would spring to where the then, by raising her slender, bare arms, she would work the Indians into per. feet frenzy with wild chant, fraught with the spirit of rebellion to the white man. Then suddenly she would shout:
 "Listen. o my brothers. Listen to the words of Aiollie Big Buffalo. The red men know her words are good. She KNOWS the red men will be glad to hear. She has hunted with them in the for est. She has fished with. them in the river Her hands have built the smoke fire for the drying of winter meats. Her feet have led the way through trackless paths. She is one of their people. The school of the palefaces has taught her much knowledge, but he1 heart could not learn the white mans ways. The heart of Mollie Big Buff falo is the heart of the red man.
 'The red man is q worm under the foot of the paleface. The hand of the white man is at the throat of the chil- dren of the sun. There is greed in the heart of the paleface. Ii is death tc the red man. It is the red mans coun- try. but the white man has taken it. The l fathers of the red men were as many as the rays of the sun. The red mans 1 lodges were like the leaves of the trees. The paleface has destroyed them. The paleface has made war and lsleft but a loGgeful of our people. The red man isa dog to the white man. The red man owns the vast plains. but he is driven back and caged in the burrow or 1 badger. Will the braves of the reo men sat like women in their lodges :! l Will they endure the whip of the pale face? Will they see their people die out like the flickering torch? No! The red man will go with Mollie Big Buffa 10! Mollie Big Buffalo will lead the red men into new country, where the red men will be red men once more; where the children of the sun shall live in the free glory of their race; where the lodge of the red man will not be fed from the hateful hand of the paleface.' Despite the fact that Mollie Big Buff 1 falo is careful not to use words by whic h | she could be charged with responsibil ity for. the demon of unrest that she lei loose among the Indians, threats. out breaks, thieving, smothered rebellion have followed in her wake. Wherever her wagon has gone trouble has fol
 lowed and the Incian agents gave sighs
 of relief that now her expedition i. ac
 tually cn the way ont of the country Mollie Rig Buffalo is at the head of he1
 crusaders. She rules alone, and as ar
 bitrarily as feudal lord. Her penpl'
 follow her b,indly and obey her slight est words. They see in her the per sol
 who can save the Indian race from ex
 tinctiou.
