THE KING OF BOUDER MEN.
The Wildest, Truest Story Red Uuntlinc
ever Wrote.
An oasis of green wood on a Kansas prairie?
a bright stream shining like liquid silver in the
moonlight?a log house built under the limbs of
great trees?within this tumble home a happy
group. This is my first picture.
sssjU.euk well on the leading ligure m the.4 -jroup
Bp1' m sec him but this oucc; yet on his sad fate
''VwTgcs all the wild and fearful realities which are
to follow, drnwn to a very great extent, not from
Imagination, but from life il self.
A noble-looking, white-haired man sits by a
rough table, rending the bible aloud. On stools
by his feet sit two beautiful little girls, his twin
daughters, not more ilinn ten years of age, while
n noble boy, of twelve or thirteen, stands by the
back of the chair, where sits the handsome, yel
matronly looking mother.
It is the hour for family preyer before retiring
for the. night, and Mr. Cody, ihe Christian, always
remembers it in the heart of his dear home.
He closes the holy hook mid Is about to kneel
nud usk Heaven to bless Liai and protect his dear
ones.
Hurk i The sound of horses gnllopping with mad
speed towards his house falls upon his ear.
"Is 11 possible Hiere is another Indian alarm ?"
he snys, inquiringly.
Alas, worse than the red savages are riding in
.hot haste toward that door.
"Hallo?the house-'' Is shouted loudly, as a
large cavalcade of horsemen halt before the door.
"What Is wautcd, and who are ye?" asked the
good man, as he threw wide open the door and
stood upon Its threshold.
"Ton aro wautcd, you bluck-licnrted nlggcr
worahlppcr, and /?Colonel M'Kandlas?have
come to fetch you i Aud liter, 's the warrant 1"
As the ruttlan leader or the baud shouted these
words, the pistol already In bis hands was rais
ed, levelled, tired, and the rattier, husband and
Christian, red dead before bis horror-stricken
family.
"if them gals was n little older?but never
mind, boys, this will be a lesson for the sneaks
that come upon the Border?let's be otr, for there's
plenty more work to do before day light i" con
tinued the wretch, turning the bead of his horse
to rido away.
"Stop I"
It was but a single word?spoken, too, by a boy
whose bine eyes shone wildly In a face as while
as new-fallen suow and full as cold?spoken as he
stood ?rcot over the b ,.ly of hlB dead father,
weaponless and alone. '
Yet that rufllan, nye, and all of biH mad, reck
less crew, stopped as If a mighty spell was laid
upon them.
"You, Jake M'Kandlas, have murdered my
father I Yon, base cowards, who saw him do i his
dark deed, spoke no word to restrain him. I am
only Little Bill, his son, but as God In Heaven
hears me now, I will kill every father's son of you
before the beard grows on my facel"
"near the little rooster crow. Ho'll fight when
his spurs grow, If we don't cut his comb now,"
cried the leader, with a mocking laugh, and he
raised his pistol once more. ,
"Monster, you have robbed me of a husband;
yon shall not kill my boy," shrieked the mother,
as she sprang forward and drew her 6ou up to
her bosom.
"Colonel, there's a big gang or men comin' over
the prairie. We'd better git," cried a scout, rid
ing m at this moment.
"Aye I Fori don't want to kill a woman If 1
con Iic'.d it. Column to the right, boys, and fob
low inc.'1
I? A minute, at full speed, the party dashed
away after their lender, and the wretched family
were left alone with the dead.
Frozen with terror and awe, the beautiful twins,
Lllllc and lAittie, crept out to the doorway, where
their mother and brother knelt over the stiffen
ing form of lit m who had been so good and kind?
their dear father.
Oh, what a picture I Oriel was still. Nor sob,
nor tear, not even a moan arose. They were
dumb with agony?paralyzed with a sense or
utter bereavement.
* * * *
It Is now 1801. Tue old log house has disap
peared, but in the same noble grove a pretty white
cottage Is seen. Barns and haystacks all tell a
story of good forming and profit aide results.
On the embowered porch or this cot tage sits the
widow, still in her mourning garb, wotn for him
whose death we have already pictured, and near
her stand two lovely girls?the twin sisters, Lllile
-and Lottie?bow In the early bloom or beautiful
womanhood.
Tbey look alike, arc dressed alike, and are ex
ceedingly beautiful.
-Aai^iia a letter In her hand which the mount
JB'n 1er had left as he swept by.
^F-OnT mamma, mamma I brother Is coming
tome! He says he will be here before the sun
sets on Hie twenty flftli I The letter Is from Fort
Kearney, and has been long In coming."
"Is not to-day the twcnty-nrui?" asked Lottie.
"To be sure It Is, nod he will be here. Our Wil
liam Is wild, but he never tells a falsehood. He
Is too proad for that I Heaven bless him I" said
the mother, In a low, earnest tone.
"He Is not coming alone," said Lillle. "He
brings two friends with him."
"It laoks scarce a hair hour of sunset," said the
mother.
At tho same Instant Lllllc, who hud been glanc
ing through an avenue which led westward Iu
the grove, cried out:
"They ore coming t They arc coming !"
And three minutes later, their horses frothy and
hat, three riders at full speed dashed up to Hie
--gate fronting the cottage.
"Oh brother I" cried tho two sisters, joyously,
tand all heedless of the stranger eyes now look
ing on them, they rushed out to embrace and kiss
htm.
Buffalo Hill, for I in- <vas he, had learned to hide
aU his feelings, but with u gentle tenderness he
shook himself out or their embraces, and present
ing his two -n. mis by name, hurried on to meet
the dear mother, who with glistening eyes, waited
to greet her Idol and her pride.
"My good mother I" was all he said, as he
press wd his manly lips to her white forehead.
? "My dear son!'' was all she said, but pages
/ would not not describe the reverence In his tone,
*:,<?T the undying love in her look.
Bill now presented his friends In more form to
?'-, Thls-ls the nom do. chatte of Wra. P. Oody, the
f greatest hunter, guide and scout In the far M'est.
I now employed In that capacity In (Icncral Augur's
(Department, and a great favorite with ornerais
I Caster and Sheridan. A man wha has killed
'vslxty-nlno buffaloes In one day's hunt, has earned
Af?ht name, I think.
ids mother than ho had ?eeincd it necessary in
the ease of tils sisters.
"This, mother," said he, presenting n young
man who, In form and appearance, resembled
himself very closely, though he was un inch taller
ami hardly so muscular, "this is my mate?this
Is Mill Hitchcock, the best friend I ever hail, or
ever will have, outside of our own family. Three
times has lie saved me from being wiped ont.
Once by the Ogullalas, once when I was taken
with the cramps in the ice-cold Platte, last winter
?and ouce when old Jake M'Kandlas and Ins
gang had a sure set on me. Ueaud 1 will sink or
swim in Hie same river, and that's a safe bet.
Kill, that's my mother, and a better never trod
the fool stool !"
Wll ! bill, with a natural grace, gently lient his
proud head aud took the hand of the lady, saying
in C tremulous tone:
"I'm glad to see you, ma'am, for I've g >t a good
ohl mother Hint 1 haven't seen this many a day,
und tills rather brings her up afore me !*'
"Ami this other," continued Bill, "Is Dave
Tut I. He is good on n hunt, death on the reds,
and as smart as bordermen are niadcnow-a-duys.
Now, boys, you're all acquainted, make your
selves at home. The darkey out there has got the
horses, and he'll see them oil right."
Three more perfect men In point of personal
beauty never trod the earth.
Wild Hill, six feet and one Inch iu height,
straight as an ash, broad in shoulder, round and
full in chest, slender lu the waist, swelling out in
muscular proportions at hips and thighs, with
tapering limbs, small hands aud feet, his form
was a "study." His face, open and clean, hud
regmar features, Hie nose slightly aquiline. His
large bright eyes, now soft and tender in ex
pression, were a bluish gray in culor, shaded by
lashes which often drooped over his bronzed
cheek as he looked down, somewhat confused in
female society, to which ho was nnused. His
long brown hair fell in wa>'y masses over his
shoulders, but it was Une, soft and glossy as
silk.
The same picture win do for iiuirnio Bill, only
this difference noted. The eyes of the latter were
nearer a blue iu color, his height one inch less,
an.! his hair a little more wavy and a shade
lighter.
Dave fort, nearly or the saaie height, was
equally well formed, but there Hie resemblance
ceased.
His eyes were black as jet and deeply set.
though his features were perfect, and, when he
chosi, his expression .soft ami winning. His ii.iir.
curling slightly, was block und glossy. But with
ail his beauty, there was a sensual expression
about his mouth, so utterly dlflereut from that
in tiie other two, and a fierce, passionate longing
in his eyes, which mad.; the two girls, Instinctive
in their purity, shrink from him.
After supper the reunited family and their
guests were cosily seated in the sliting-ruum.
when Mrs. Cody, whose face was iowaid the win
dow, screamed out in sudden terror, and rose
her fee: with a face so deathly pale that it see.i.e.;
as if she was death-striken.
"What is it, mother/" cried Bill, springing to
her side.
The window?Tie wus there t" the gasped, and
then she swooned away.
"l!< .' Hirls, lookout Tor mother! I'll see what
he was at the window !" cried Dill, and he sprung
to ttie open casement.
As he did fo, a bullet whistled past his ear and
struck the opposite wall, while a hundred wild
yells proclaimed that Indians had surrounded
the house.
Wild Hill, cool aad collected, Instantly blew out
both the lights, exclaiming:
"Darkness here ami moonlight out thar ! We'll
be all right In a shake. Jump for your tools,
boys, mine's handy I Gala, lay low out o' range:
we'll soon let the reds know old hands are here."'
The three young men, n'a forcer, by three ne
grocs and one white man, the farm hands, were
ready ror work In less than a minute, and as the
Indians did not seem disposed to make n rush for
the Inside of the bouse, crept quickly to points
where from the doors ami windows they could
pick the fiends out from their coverts among the
trees around.
Meantime the twins had succeeded in restoring
the mother to consciousness, and to the hurried
Inquiry of her son n9 to whom she had seen at the
window, replied that she had recognized the face
of Jake M'Kandlas, the murderer of her husband,
glaring In with a look bo full of hate and vindic
tive cruelty that she was completely horror
stricken.
"There's too many reds ont there, or I'd make a
rush and settle his bash !" said her son. "If he'll
only stay 'till wc thin 'cm down arcw, I'll accom
modate him with a private entertainment. Look
out for yonrselvcs, girls?the boys are giving 'em
Jessie, and its about lime my hand was tu !'<
A rapid firing had been going on from the mo
ment Wild Ulli got to the door, the Indians shoot
ing nt random, for all in the house was dar): ex
cept the fiash of the guns; but every now and then
a yell of agony told that tho attacking party were
not going unpunished.
They could only be seen as they sprang from
tree to tree for cover, hut their terrible yells, ring
ing through the air, told that In numbers they
were nt least tan to one of the defending pnrty.
"Wharc's the stock ? Won't they try to run
that off 1" asked Wild Hill, as his mate, standing
by his side, sent a red to eternity with a shot
from his favorite long rifle.
"I expect they will. I would almost as soon
tose my hair ua to lose Powder Face, Tor the Insect
has carried me through more bad scrapes than
I've time to count," said Luirulo Hill, referring to
his favorite horse.
"And 1 will lose my hair afore I'll lose Black
Nell, for she never deserted me. She'll kick the
head otf any red that tried to niouul her. But
can't wc get to the borsoa'r"
"Walt till I give Dave and the hoys In here their
orders, and then you an' me will get to the horses
aud come In on 'cm as If we were fresh bauds in
the fight."
"That's the talk, mil?that's the talk. Only let
me and Hluck Nell and you and Powder Face
give 'cm a charge in the rear and they're gone
in I"
Pepper into 'em then till I tell the boys here
where we're are goln', so they'll be kcerf til how
to shoo: when we're a comlu'."
HufJalo Bill now hurriedly told Dave Tutt aud
the men, who were tiring at everything they saw
move among tho trees, what he and Hill intended
to do. The girls and his mother were to know
nothing of It till it was all over, for the two Hills
felt as sure of driving off the foe by their plan as
If they were already in full chose of them.
Dave Tutt did not express any wish to go
along, which rather surprised buffalo Hill, for it
was a duty that brave men would surely court.
But there was a reason for this, as there Is indeed
for everything, as the reader will learn by and by.
The two friends, carrying their arms and bend,
ing low in the same bhadow of the garden bushes,
crept away rrom the house nntll H1C7 reached a
grain-field beyond the trees,in to which they moved
swiftly. They had but a little distance now logo
to reach the stock pasture, and they goi to the
last in the very nick or time,
A half-dozen dusky figures were already there,
and I he hones, disturbed by the firing, were very
uneasy as these advanced.
Two shrill calls, understood well by the animals
ror which ihoy were Intended, brought two noble
animals, "Black Nell" and "Powder Face," to
the edge or the grain-Held. The next Instant,
needing neither saddle nor bridle, the two men
were mounted, and without a word, both dashed
forward upon tho Indians who wcro after the
stock.
So suddenly and unexpectedly were these over
whelmed?not by a shot being fired, only the
tomahawk used?that there was no alarm In the
grove. Then the two men sped on, not noise
lessly now. tint whooping nnd yelling in Wild con"
cert, and urging their steeds faster by their cries,
till they wore upon the rear of Hie astonished red
Skins, pouring out shot after shot with deadly
affect on the enemy.
Wheeling and circling iiere aud there, never
missing a shot?It seemed ns If there were twen
ty, rather than two?Wild Illll and our hero
Unshed on, carrying death at every leap.
The Indians, who were Citoyennes, supposing
this to bo a reinforcement to those who had de
fended the house so well, soon gave way and fled
In every direction, but not btfuro full half their
number had fallen.
"Curse them, why do they shoot so careless
from tbe house?this Is the secourt Braze 1 have
hart from there," ertert WIM Ui!l, as he Wiped the
blood from a wound grazing Ids cheek.
"There's a hole In my hat from the same quar
ter," said Uuifulo Hill. "I'd like to know what
they mean. It euu't be but they know where we
are. Never mind?1 must haul up old M'Knndlns
now. for If mother saw him be must tie here.
Let's chase them. Hill, as long as we can.''
The two men dashed away, and again a bullet,
evidently from the house, passed so close to
Uuiralo Ulll's head that be felt its wind.
The Indians scattered Tar and wide, but the two
men succeeded In knocking over a hair dozen
more, when the thought struct them that it was
better not to go far from the house lest some lurk
ing belling would continue the attack, and they
roth- back.
The search for a white man among the bodies or
tho slain was unsuccessful, m Hill derided in Ids
mind I hat If M'Kundlss hud bceu In the party he
had escaped this time.
As they approached the hottPe they took pains
to make their Individuality known by signals
Which could not be misunderstood, thcrerore they
were spared the perils which It seemed friends
rather than their foe had cast upon them during
the charge.
Inashort time, their horses left close In the
shatlow of the house. Die two brave friends were
in It onre more.
"You can light up, I reckon." cried Buffalo Hill
when he entered. "The reds, or what's left of
"em are off to their tribes on Ute run."
"Thauk Heaven, you are sate," said Mrs. Cody
ns she heard the voice of her son. "I hope you
ami your brave friend are unharmed?"
"All right, mother, but a scratch or two that
cold water will heal?but are you sure you saw
the face of .lake M'Kaudlas at the window ?"
"Yes, my son?I never can forget his face. I
surely saw It."
"Then he has got off this time. I knew mon
of his gang had gone under, lint I didn't think he
had taken up with the Cbcycnnes. They say that
every tribe in the West except the Pawnees are
going with the South, ir they are, we border
folks will have our hands full. Hut we're good
for 'em, aren't w e, IM1I?"
"I reckon we nre, if we know ourselves," Faid
Wild Hill.
The moon had goiK down before day dawned,
hut lite repulsed Cheyeiinos never bated in their
headlong speed until4*!*' couple of hours after snu
rise, when they had reached a thick cottottwood
grove on the south hank of the Republican Hiver.
Here, at the call of their chief, they dismounted
and gathered around film. Hy his Ride, with a
scowl of anger and some show of distrust, too.
in his face, stood Jake M'Kiiudlns. the white mr
Hun who had planned this foray.
Looking sternly al him. niter counting tlio war
K.-r-i leti, the old chief said:
"Therewill be a greal cry among the squaws In
Hie lodges of the Citoyennes. Many warriors
hare gone down?their scalps arc in the belts of
mr cuemlcs, and we have nota scalp to show
has liecii taken in return for ours. What
lias the llitwl: of the Hills tof-ay lothls?"
' That which tue Great Spirit wills to be, will
ne l'i .-.iid M 'Knud las in reply, "ir we lied fought
as white men and chargeai right on them,
-.. > would now have their scalps in our belt--. Illg
Maple would no' listen to my winds. He loughl
ids tvny "nd hist half Ids warriors. It is not my
faul'?. I have spoken."
"The Hawk of the Hills has spoken with a sin
gle tongue. Ills words are true. Hut the laces
of the tribes will be black wle.n w e go back with
out sculps. What has my brother 10 88y to Unit?"
asked the chief.
"That if we go hack without scalps, we are
fools!"'said M'Kandlas, quietly, "if the pun of
aig Maiile misses lire, does he throw i: away, or
pick the Mint nnd try it again ? There nre more
lays and nights than one, and plenty of pule
faces are scattered abont the plains. The Hawk
of the Hii'.s knows other settlements which wc
can reach In two or three days' Journey. We can
go there fur plunder and scalps, and then come
back here, and when the lighting mennreuot
here or are asleep, we can sprinkle (lie bones of
our dead with the b'.ood of vegeance where they
fell."
"The Hawk or the Hills r-penke like a man. The
heart of big Maple was weak. It Is strong again.
The warriors will cool: meat aud eat while their
horses rest and feed."
Light blazing flrep, omitting Fcnrccly any
smoke, were now made from dry twigs, and Hie
warriors made ti hearty meal, ihe first for twen
ty-four hours. It was not llnlshed when an alarm
was given by a scout. White men mounted and
armed were coming In from the south.
"They are not those wc height last night !"
said M'Kandlas. "They have not had time to get
to this Bide of the river. 1 will ride out alone and
sec who they are. Let my red brothers remain
where they are ready to tight or to flee, If they
see that I am among their enemies."
"The Hawk or the Hills Is a great brave. His
words are good nnd his deeds go with them,"
said the Cheyenne chief.
M'Kandlns now mounted his horse, put a bit or
white cloth on the ramrod or his rifle and rode
out from the shelter or the grove toward the
group or advancing horsemen, some ten or a
dozen In number.
They halted as soon as he was observed and
seemed to look to their arms.
lie rode boldly on until within two or three
hundred yards when a shorn or recognition rose
on both sides nnd men rode rapidly to meet him.
They were his own men from the Black Hills,
whom be had lelt there to carry on his business
or pillaging emigrant trains, while he came down
on an expedition on his own private account.
' Why are yon here?" he asked, as they rode
np. "What did you leave Cave Canyon Tor?"
"Because we got parched ont, nnd scorched out
and whipped ou: I" said one, who seemed to head
the party.
"Well, boys, I'm glad yon arc here, ror now I'll
do the work 1 railed in last night. That infernal
fiend, Buffalo BUI, with Wild [Sill and Have Tutt,
wiped out over twenty Citoyennes that 1 piloted
down to the Cody place last night."
"DavcTuttf Why he is one of us?one of our
sort at any rate I" said Prank Stark, the one who
bad spoken first.
"Yes?ho used to be, but he's with them now. I
couldn't get no chance to see bira alone, or I
would have known what it meant. 1 had my
own Idea that he was after one of the gala, for
they're purtler than any plctur that was ever
painted, an 1 know he's death after that kind or
game. But ride on, boys, and get something to
cat, and then we'll plan lor a nice bit or work to
night. There's between twenty and thirty
Chcyennes left, and they'll tight like blazes for
revenge."
M'Kandlas now turned and rodo back with his
men to the grove, so busy In talking with them,
that be did not notice a single person on a hill
beyond tho river, who had evidently seen all his
movements, and wno rode off swiftly when the
ruinnn leader entered tho grove.
"There are warriors from my band In the Black
Hills, come to light by the side of their chief!"
said M'Kandlas to me Cheyenne chief, as he nnd
his men rode up among the camp-tires.
"They arc welcome as the rain when the earth
Is dry. Big Maple la glad lo see them here."
"Kow cook und cat, boys," said M'Kandlnss,
"and let your horses rest and feed till we are
right. We'll then wipe out Buffalo Bit! and his
party, and make a raid down the river as rar as
we can and then strike lor the Platte ror a rest."
