I gazed around in every direction, and sat with my hand on my gun- trigger, for my feelings were so wrought up, that I momentarily expected to see an armed Indian start from behind each bush. At last I rose up, and sat by the fire. Suddenly, a swift gust swept 228 INDIAN SKETCHES. through the grove, and whirled off sparks and cinders in every direction. In an instant, fifty little fires, shot their fork ed tongues in the air, and seemed to flicker with a momentary struggle for ex istence. There... was scarcely time to note their birth, before they were creeping up in a tall, tapering blaze and leaping lightly along the tops of the scattering clumps of dry grass. In another moment they leap ed forward into the prairie, and a waving line of brilliant flame, quivered high up in the dark atmosphere. Another gust came rushing along the ravine. It was announced by a distant moan; as it came nearer a cloud of dry leaves filled the air; the slender shrubs and saplings bent like weeds dry branches snapped and crackled.
