The wind blew from that direction. The buffalo were aware of their approach, and had begun to move, though very slowly and in a compact mass.
From the ground, matted thickly with pine needles, rose a warm, sun-scorched fragrance heavy with sleep. The boy stretched his arms and yawned. Then he rolled the doors together and began to undress. Suddenly he paused with one shoe in his hand. A thought had come to him. If Mr.
