Joo says there ia ii herd ot buffaloes in sight from tho next riso of land. Biggest kimi of a liordl Ho lively now, or you'll losu your buffalo skin.'' I opened my eyes sloopily na Frank grasped mv nrin, but was on my foot boforo ho hail Ihiishod speaking. Joe, our guido sud cook, a half-breed Sioux, was hurried ly boiling our oolloo, and Qoorgo was getting tho guns in proper order. Wo were on our first buffalo hunt, and it was my highest ambition Just thou to tacuro ii pair of horus lo mount and a robe IUlitio from tho skin of a b?llalo killed by myself, lt did not tako us long io swallow a hasty breakfast. In lifioen minutes wo wcro ready to start. "Rere," said Joo, as wo galloped over (he risc of ground. Not A milo away wo saw tho herd (??ding contentedly near n small slroum that passed us on tho right. Joo sud denly swerved irotn tho diroct courso ?mi fullowod tho bank of tho stroam, go wo wero partly hidden from view. 1 shall never forget it! Talk of "buck fever" on a moose hunt! That is not to bo compared to what an amateur hllllter feels whoa ho socs a thousand or moro buffaloes. "Como now," Joo said, as wo stop ped opposite tho herd, felt for our car tridges, and tightennd our saddlo girths. We gavo tho liory littlo mus tangs tiio roin nud thoy sprang for ward with a snort of excited joy. Per haps they remembered wheo thoy too wera as froo and unfettered as tho herd boioro us. Tho wind was right for us i-and wo approached quito nonr with out being seen. Thon ono groat bull, glaring from beneath his shaggy mano, f;uvo tho alarm, and soon thoy all woro n motion. Tho reports of lour lilies rang out sharply, and ono buffalo foll to tao earth. Wo had all missed our gamo but Joo! On wo dashed closo at thu hoids of tho roar ones, whooning liko madmen and firing into tho bellow ing muss ns rapidly ns possible, loav lng tho doad and dying beiiind us. I singled out a wounded bull that was painfully galloping niter his wounded comrades. I was not suro I had wound ed him; but Iiis horns and liido took my fancy, and I dotorminod lo finish and claim him. Moro than onco 1 was savod by tho quickness of my watch ful mustaug as ho charged ut mo dos {lorately. Otico his shaggy mano Hushed my log, but, as ho turned nguiu, a lucky shot laid him low, and tho corded prize was won. 1 had beril so interested in my own gamo that 1 hud not thought to walch tho other*. 1 snw thom now, nearly a milo away, still pursuing tho herd. And I saw something olso too, some thing which I was at first unable to understand, but which sent a thrill of horror through my reins when I com prehended its mo-nlng. My horso sniffc tho air orcitodly, his oyos wild and uneasy and rnoring to and fro as ho neighod nervously for his companions. Away in the distanco where tho prairie met tho sky in ft honied, qutveriug line arose ft dark, warering cloud, small at first, but rsp idly'sproading. ' Tutus the prairie on fire! Tho wind was blowing almost a galo directly lowurd us. und tho long, doad grnrs was as dry as tinder. Joo saw lt Wit^ ihout to warn tho oth or? ho wheeld,3 horso and galloped toward ino, creely followed by George and Frank. Tho buffaloes saw it also. Tho black mass moved slowor, and finally turnod and followod my frionds as they had been following thom a tow moments before. Our dangor was now more lu hoing trampled to death than in hoing burned. I leaped to tho ground to start a "baok lire," but found that I had loft orory routoh in camp. "No match," cried Joe, as they neared the placo whoro I stood. "Get on horse-run much fast- Dovil's run -sarod." " , "Devil's run is ton milos away," I answered blankly, as I sprang into the .addle. "Haren't you any matches oither, boysP" "Not ti match. I don't soo what in the dlokens wo woro all thinking about," said George "Of the buffaloos," said Frank. "All we ean do ia to run for it now." The mustangs knew their danger as woll as we, and needed no urging. east a regretful glance at my pmev my first buffalo-as wo galloped away. Wo could plainly smell the burning grass, and tho dark, rolling smoke overcast the sky ?boro our heads. On came tho buffaloes, shaking the ground with the thunder of many feet. Joe mattered something in his lingo, nod hie face grew ashou as he looked back at tho herd, which was now so near that we could seo the flecks of foam that flew from tboir mouths. Bat it needed no words to tell us that oar timo had como! We felt that all WM lost? when th? herd suddenly divided to tb? right and left. A moment more amt w? were between the lnmberlng massos, which loft a elear space as they thundered by us, closing in again M "Heapgood!" ?Jaoulateu Jo?, ?ad then hu turned to watch Ino tim wl:i ii wu lind overlooked in the grouter Un - nor i loit menaced us. lt was fast over hauling us, but it was not tho inky Oloud willi Us iow line of yellow gi ro that cn use 11 him lo start and listen ....? eagerly. Thorooumo a .so.md wnicii wo had noticed buioro-.1 oiitu.d squealing-mingled with tho sumo rumble of many foot mudo by tho beti i loes, and a dark moving mass was ot adv anco of tho lire, i looked to t? > . lo solve tho mystery. "Wild horse!" ho orlod, us ho drove tho spurs into his mustang. "De\ nev er turns out-Devil's run live iuiie - me boc six." bliall 1 over loroot that ride.'

Like a promise of sato ty tho slabby trees near Devil's run 1 uulioned to us in Hie distance. "Can we nuke ii. Joe?" 1 shouted as I thought 1 read hope in his swarthy fae?. "Me mo so," ho answered with indian meouicisin, but ho bowed low upou his horse's neck and drove tho spurs into Illa reek ins sides. Ihne-four miles were passed. Could our gallant mustangs cover ibo lift li and laslP Thnro was now eui a contused medley of sounds behind ns, tho roaring, squealing, nolgidng, ami rumbling-?ll mingled in one horrid din. The smoke-wreal hs whirled around us, and we could not seo how Dear the wild horses were. My eyes seemed to bo starting from their sock ots from tho smarting heat, and my horse's breath wu- q.lick and laborud as he Staggered bravely on. Joe rode straight for the fording-phtee. Frank, and George, and 1 gave a cheer as the cool water splashed in oar faces, and if ever mortal man was thankful we wero thankful then. But tho danger was not over. Although tho wild horses, mad with terror, ?lid not know, perhaps, of the nearness nf water, they were blindly rushing Hie rig'il way. "Come!1 commanded tho half-breed, as ho turned up ihn stream. We were still in sight ol tho ford whoo tho horses rcaoho.1 it. Even in that mo ment of peril 1 foll keen regret and covetousness, as I gazed upon their proud bounty. Wo drew undor tho overhanging bunk and waited in breathless anxiety to seo whether they would choose to go up tho stream or down, knowing thal instinct would teach them lo keep to the water. Ono niairnilieent fellow tossod his silken mano in the air as ho espied us, and stood there a second or two, tho perfect picture ot equino beau ty, thou willi a snort of surprise ami alarm dashod down tho stream, follow ed by his comrades. Joe uttered nu exclamation of thankfulness as tboy disuppearod.

"Camp burned now-grass gono butValo gone," said Joe, and ho turned Iiis horse's head toward t he .seit lenient.
