1t was long charge for a buffalo to make,
but we kept so near his reach that he EVIL
IDENTIFY thought he should be able to gore US
at few more leaps.
Just as we had reached the top of the high
point before mentioned. we beheld Blake and
the colonel coming on the run. They had
heard the firing and determined to see the
fun.
Look out! look QUIT" we yelled, as we
came upon them.
Seeing the condition of things, both of them
made rush for the creek, and attempting to
jump it, lit squarely in the middle, up to
their waists in water, for the June rains had
swollen the little stream considerably.
The old bull paid no attention to them but
kept right on after us down the slope.
The saddles and packs were piled upon the
boiling. We had galoped further from his
reach, coming down from the point, and
seeing the packs and saddles, the furious bull
turned from pursuing us, and rushing. at them
instead, sent them flying in every direction,
one of the saddles alighting in the creek.
The dogs, to keep them from following us,
had been tied to Nero's picketpin, but both
broke loose at the first sight of the buffalo,
and just as he was tossing the last saddle
they made rush at him He lowered his
shaggy head and met them with charge,

Jud and dismounted to take a hand in the

There were fifty or sixty of them, placed

fun out of you-the colonel and for l
thought the bull was dead when I sent you
after him.
And he broke down with merriment as he
made this announcement, and laughed until
the tears rolled down his cheeks.
We all joined him and laughed till our sides
ached, as the ludicrous side of the affair
-dawned upon u.s. Evidently our scout was a
funny fellow, but his fun had been turned
upon himself in good shape for once at least
and he frankly admitted it.
After our merriment had somewhat subsid-
ed. we proceeded to gather the scattered arti-
clcs. The colonel had fished the saddle from
the creek as he came along, and found that
no damage of any account had been done.
Jerry went for the carcass of the buffalo,
and cut out the hump steak" the sirloin
and the tongue and soon savory odor of
frying steak sharpened our already ravenous
appe6tes.
"Hallo, colonel" exclaimed Jerry suddenly
looking up from his work, and appearing
greatly surprised. "Hallo! you're wet. Been

BE this as it may, the old fellow turned
the moment we passed him and ran the oppo-
site way. The ponies understood the bust
ness thoroughly, and "about faced" SO quickly
flying past the buffalo, both on the same
side this time, blazing away again, and, for a
wonder, both hitting him.
Back he went again, and we after, closer
than before, and both OF us yelling with ex-
element.
Bang! bang! went both guns again as we
dashed past for the third time, neither bullet
touching him.
Once more he turned and ran up the valley
toward our camp, but as we passed him this
time and hit him, the old bull lowered his
head and charged after us.
