"Ye got to pray to the Great Speret when-all ye hunt, men," he explained. "An' ye got to have someone that can call the buffler, as the Injuns calls that when they hunt on foot. I kin call 'em, too, good as ary Injun. Why shouldn't I? "Thar now!" he exclaimed within the next quarter of an hour. "What did Jim Bridger tell ye? Lookee yonder! Do-ee say Jim Bridger can't make buffler medicine?
He had lifted it high up with its back to his breast, his arms clasped under its shoulders; the wretched brute had curled up caterpillar-wise, with its long tail against its belly, and through its filed teeth grinned a fixed and impotent wrath. And Parson Jones was shouting: "The tiger and the buffler shell lay down together!
"I tells this a way," continued the guide. "Ef the buffler had passed by hyur, immediately after the rain, thar tracks wud a sunk deeper, and thar wud a been more mud on the trail.
"Are those bison?" he whispered to Joses; though the objects at which he gazed were miles away. "No, they aren't," growled Joses; "them's buffler, and they're a feeding steadily on in this way, so that we shall be able to get a good few, I hope, and p'r'aps drive two or three a long way on towards the camp, so as to save carrying them there." "May we ride up to them now?" cried Bart.
I kin see 'em now, grazin' in a little open, an' thar is a young cow among 'em, juicy an' tender. Now I don't want to kill a young cow buffler, but we must hev supplies before we go on this expedition." "Sol is right," said Henry, "and since he is so it's his duty to go and kill the buffalo. Tom, you'll go with him, won't you?" "O' course," replied Silent Tom.
"So are we cowardly, cruel beasts, then," said Joses, philosophically. "Wolves want to live same as humans, and it's all their nature. If they didn't kill and keep down the buffler, the country would be all buffler, and there wouldn't be room for a man to walk. It's all right, I tell you; wolves kills buffler for food, and so do we.
Where they live in conkibinage several women to one man, like a buffler herd or other beasts of the field? I guess your mother never heard you talk like that. Denver well, Denver mightn't be bad, though I do hear tell that folks nigh starve to death there, what with the Injuns and the snow. Denver ain't on no railroad, either.
'Twur no go! they smelt a rat, an' kep' cl'ar. Then I tuk a fresh idee in my head. I went for some o' the driftwood an' made a pen around the buffler; an' in the wink o' my eye I had six o' the varmints in the traps." "Then you had 'em, eh, old boy?" said one. "You bet; I jest took a lot of stones, clomb up on the pen, an' killed the hull kit o' them.
"Carrajo!" exclaimed a Mexican, "what do you think of monkey? I have dined upon that down south many's the time." "Wal, I guess monkey's but tough chawin's; but I've sharpened my teeth on dry buffler hide, and it wa'n't as tender as it mout 'a been."
"If you don't, my lad, you may find yourself dropping down on to a herd of Apaches instead of buffaloes; and I can tell you, young fellow, that a buck Injun's a deal worse thing to deal with than a bull buffler. You must keep a sharp look-out." "I'll do the best I can, Joses, you may be sure; but suppose I should come upon an Indian party what am I to do?" "Do, my lad?
