The pony, howeyer, rat- tled away with his ears thrown back like a racehorse, at his final effort, and we were within a few score yards at the moment of Blackwolf 's bearing close to the right side of the nearest bufiieJo, and drawing his bow at the moment of passing, buried the arrow to the feather. In an instant the horse wheeled to ayoid the thrust which the wounded bufialo often makes ; but Blackfoot's victim was stricken in a vital part, and he rolled over struggling and bleeding in the th...roes of deadly agony. Right and left the Indians scoured the plain in pursuit of the doomed and fright- ened animals, and never halting in the chase, but rushing from one to another as the huge beasts shouldered along in their un- gainly gallop down the valleys and over the blufis, and across huge gaping rents in the prairies, caused by the winter torrents, brought them to the ground like skittles from well-directed hands. There appeared to be no chance for me to flesh my maiden lance, and I began to despair of adding a single head to the nnmber slain, when I caught sight of a solitary fugitive stealing away through a stony ravine much to the left of the line which the others had taken, and from his action I concluded that he had met with a wound which materially interfered with his speed.
