Then she mounts a broncho that
draws no line between the sexes, but
does his vicious worst to throw her off,
and so she finally gets the shake-up

Buffalo Bits long hair has turned

This Quarter-hour is marked by good
dramatic craft. At one end of the spa
cioun arena, a scene in the Rockies is
disclosed under moonlight. An Indian
tribe, men, women and children, come
slowly down from the hills, and out to
the plain upon which the 5000 pale
faces look down. Ponies drag the poles
and skins for the tepees, which the
squaws set up. while the braves light
campfires, and go through with war
dances. Then the temporary village
goes to sleep. all but a few wakeful
sentries. Day breaks, and with it an

to appear that Bill could hit a man
