full speed, each followed by group Of
horsemen. BY noon, after six hours Of
riding, they were farther from the rail-
road station than when they started, and
still apparently fresh. .~'.f -.
"By everlastingly sticking at it, the
four animals were at last rounded up and

1.-THE buffalo, when running at full
speed, keep their heads close to the
ground, never turning to right or left.
There is more danger pursuing them from
the rear than from any other point, for
when they are closely pressed they will

But when two of the Indians were direct
ed to give chase and, if possible, cut out a
portion Of the herd, that the four cows
might be selected. the speed of these
monsters was fully revealed. The only
way that a cut-out could be made was by
putting fresh horses on the trail at inter
walls of an hour or two, and by so doing
they finally succeeded in cutting out a
bunch by getting them started up a diff
ferent ravine than the one chosen by the
main herd. This was after eight hours of
furious riding that exhausted several re-
lays of horses, but apparently did not tire
the buffaloes at all. The bunch cut out
was constantly pursued until by nightfall
they were driven in the nearest corral,
four cows cut out, and the remainder
given their freedom. .-. #
II Long, Hard Chase.
1.-THE following morning, before the sun
had peeped over the outline of the noun

for the final chase. When the gates of
the corral swere thrown open the buffalo
rushed out as though inspired by a last

rode his pony over the mountains to the
.F1athead valley, driving seven weary buff
faloes before him. Here they were kept
by Allard and Pablo, until eighteen years
later, the seven buffaloes had become 800.
With thousands of cattle they roaned the
Flathead valley. sixty miles wide, safe
from the outside world under the protec-
ton Of the mountains and the ubiquitous
Indians. They were never disturbed and
none was sold despite tempting offers.
A Buffalo Hunt.
T. W. Burgess thus describes his ex
periences when he went to the Flathead
valley to buy the first Of his buffaloes:,.
when Charles Allard, ST., died, his
half was divided among his heirs, and
some Of the heirs were selling their share.
When Mr.. Hanson and myself heard this,
we boarded the train and journeyed over
the mountains to see the Indians who had
buffalo to sell. Ia .g
ION reaching the reservation, the first
thing to do was to get a permit from the
agent to enter and trade with the In
dams, for had we traded without permit
or paid any purchase money, the Indian,
If he was so disposed, could keep the part
payment and also the goods and we
would have nothing but the experience.
After receiving the permit, we hired sad
die horses and started for the Allard
ranch, which was reached the next day.
MI. Allard SAID ne WOulQ trade fDuIIdlO IOf
money The next morning found us in
the saddle in pursuit Of real living buffalo.
After ride Of about twenty-five miles
and six miles below the foot Of Flathead
lake, we gained the first sight of the big
herd. With Allard as guide, we managed
to select four cows for immediate deliv-
cry.
Here we CHANGED to be present at "a
settlement for a bunch Of cayuses. AS
each cayuse passed through the gateway,
it was represented by a kernel Of corn.
Each kernel Of corn was represented by
three beans, and each bean by a dollar.
The beans were put In piles, and the pur-
chasers had to cover them with an equal
number of dollars.
."The day for the delivery of the buffa-
Ices had arrived, and round -up party OF

c. 3. Conrad of Kalispell, Mont, who
bought the Widow Allard's share Of the
Allard buffaloes, says: 4
