Tho miachlcf had been done, howctcr; and ne had 1. now to prepare to meet whatever conic. ioitirnces might entue. Tho spot where wo nau encamped was a strango one ; no arrow.shots could well reach us from the bluff, and La Queue de liicul informeJ ui that lliero appeared to be few rides among the Kiowa vs. So ne ranged our wagons on tho bank, ami mado filling preparation to fight with foes who, by all accounts, wert' uoth dauntlcM and persevering. As wo were engaged in tying the mules aivi lionet by the lanats to tuch Ira y the laiiatt to mi nts of rocks as wcro suitable, a shrill whistlo from Hurley, tho crack of a rifle, and a whizzing like the downward flight of birds caused us to look up. There, directly on the summit of the bluflf, al most to tho very brink, were tho figures of fifty horses, each surmounted by a war rior. Tho arrow had fallen far thin, and so had the ball sent from tho rifle of ono who appeared to lead. We i-ointcd our rifles at tbem, and they made dcristtc oMImv mtew the ttntance to be great. The chief nut his thumb to hi note, and twiddled his lingers, a trick ho had probably liarncd from soino of tho white traders. "Kf I had that riilo tliar," said Hurley, "I toulit letch that chap aire. The rilloho alluded to was VacIio's, a fine one, made by Wesson, n1 I nished with such accuracy, that it would -arry a wedsed ball twtco the ordinary range. Vacne handed him tho desired weapon and Hurler took deliberate aim. "Hit tho horse," said I : "that will bring both." Hurley brought the rillo down, looked at me lor a moment, and then laughed. Then raising the rillo again, he said "Wharr "In tho head," 1 replied. Hurley fired at tho word. The horto plunged, and the chief threw himself hack, but not in time, llo tins pitched over tho head of the animal, and the two came down tnsclher into tho clcn, crushed into mcro lumpt of lleih. The rest of tho hand i mushed. Hurley offered the rifle back to Vache, savins. "That's a ureal instrument of )oiiru, air," llut Vaclic told hint, as ho knew how to use It so well, ho had better keep it. The old scout's eyes sparkled, for he had long cotetcd tho weapon but he taid "I'm much ohlceged to ye, sir ; but old Dettcy Ilaker an' 1 (lletscy linker was tho name ho cavo his own rifle) hcv ben so long in cahoot together, that I hcv a kind or chection tor the old lady, an 'Don't let that trouble you," sold Vache, laughing, "I shan't ronkc love to vour beaut v.
