a BuffaIo Hunt and an indian Intnr.
ruption on the PIains.
Two soldiers who belonged TO a body
Of troops crossing the western plains
In 1852 started out to capture a buffalo.
A herd had been seen about mile
distant. Their horses were in good con-
dition, and, says the author of Five
Years Dragon" they had every rea-
son to anticipate good sport.
They approached the herd at a walk
and were within easy pistol shot be
fore the buffaloes saw them Then one
Of them, named Peel, went to the west,
the other TO the east Peels compan-
ion had dropped his first buffalo when
the voice Of Peel rang out, sect on

he pointed to fifty or more Indians in
half circle half a mile away, their
left wing SO far advanced that retreat
to camp was cut Off.
Consultation was brief. Peel led the
way down the hill and circled round a
thicket, carefully selecting the firm
buffalo grass sod, so as to leave no
trail, and drew into cover not twenty
yards from where some of the Indians
were sure to come down

They had not long TO wait The In
dams came rafting down the rock
trails leading into the bottom, sending
out their bloodcurdling warwhOop at
every jump. They seemed to think
that the fleeing men would try to es-
cape toward camp and be envelOped in
the circle; did not think that they
would do anything but run for their
| lives, which would be sure death. One
| brawny brave drew rein at the foot OF
the trail where the men had come
down, raised himself In the stirrups
and looked sharply toward them
Peel's companion, believing they were
discovered, raised his pistol to shoot
but Peel quietly reached over and
placing his hand on his comrades arm
gently pressed it down.
In a moment the Indian was OF e
the west, showing by his actions tina
he had not seen them.
The way now seemed clear, and the!
quietly walked their horses up wher'
they had gone down a few moment
before, turned south and gently trotteo
back toward camp. No fresh mea
cheered the camp that night, but the!
had a new adventure to talk over.

England, and in England and France,
even in the towns, fortune tellers,
whether they charge guinea or a
shilling for their advice, are witches
under the terms of the old statutes
and flourish abundantly, but as they
are not burned they are supposed by
superficial observers to have been ex-
terminated by school boards and cleo
trio lighting. The blacker sort of witch
who ''overlooks'' and casts spells on
man and beast may be found in many
rural regions north and south. One Of
them was brought before squire and
justice of the peace of my acquaint-
ance as a dangerous nuisance. He
said to her solemnly, ''You know, Bet
