on tho bank, ami mado filling preparation

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,

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
