A fire in the interior drives a o A BUSY MORNING. 211 away the most of the dampness; and as the plainsmen are a hardy race,they generally come out in the spring in a good state of health. The coyotes howled musically through the night, and gave a sense ofsecurity to all in the camp. In the morning there were active prepara-tions for a limit, as the buffaloes were said to be in large numbers only afew miles away. Rifles and pistols were carefully examined and loaded,ammunition was made ready to be handled with great rapidity, the sad-dles and their belongings were critically examined, and a dozen other de-tails of a buffalo-hunt received the minute attentions that old sportsmenon the plains thoroughly understand. The boys looked on with greatinterest, and allowed few things to escape their observation. VV 1 / i l 11 / —rXi UK\ 11 \ \. AT>,-- \\0^^k\i^,v

READY FOR THE HUNT. 212 THE YOUNG NIMRODS. CHAPTER XVII. A DAY OF BUFFALO-HUNTING. ONE of the scouts announced that there was a group of a dozen ormore buffaloes on the bank of the creek about half a mile belowthe camp, and that a larger herd was visible some distance farther on.As there was an hour or more to spare before the general hunt wouldbegin, Captain Bailey gave permission for the boys to go out with theDoctor and see what they could accomplish. They were.off in a fewmoments, and by following the inequalities of the ground they succeededin getting quite close to the group. Each of the trio carried a rifle, andit was arranged that the boys were to reserve their fire till the Doctorgave the word. The buffaloes proved to be some old bulls that had been driven outof the main herd by the younger ones. It is a habit of the youngstersto drive out the veterans when they become unable to defend themselves
