"The Dahcotah will be too late," whispered the old man at his elbow; "see; the Big-knives are afraid, and they will soon run." The Teton chief instantly abandoned his claim, and threw himself on another horse, directing one of his young men to furnish a similar accommodation for the trapper. The warriors who were dismounted, got up behind as many of their companions.

Mr. Boon closely examined the chunk of rock which he had taken from the car.
Smoke was rising from at least a hundred tall tepees, and several hundred horses were grazing on the meadows. "Tell me what you can about them," said the lad, handing the glasses to the Little Giant. "I think they're Teton Sioux," said Bent, "an' ez well ez I kin make out they're livin' a life o' plenty. I kin see game hangin' up everywhar to be cured.
