James Steele writing of tbe days
when the buffalo still roamed the
plains tells of a pathetic Incident of
which he was witness. Mr. Steele
resting on a little hill at no great dis-
tance from a feeding herd noticed a
scsrred and shaggy buffalo which
stood on the ouUklrts of the eroun
He was a big old fellow tbe hero
of many a fight but It was evident
that now he hsd Wen defeated in bat-
tle and tbst his rule was ended. Re
luctant to accept the fact he hung
about his former subjects pretending
to eat. The herd was busy cropping
the grass with a continual rsnplng
sound snd utterly ignoring the pres
ence of their former Ulnz
Presently a young calf came out to
ward the solitary grazer; a miniature
snd foolish slip of a. buffalo with his
little blsck nose all wet and wr(u!.i
Curiosity and Inexperience bad moved
him to come to his father and the
two touched noaee amlnhlv ir
encouraged the veteran edged a little
nearer the herd. Then a strong young
bull niarle a sudden npuroach. e-tvln
utterance to certain ominous groans
snd snorting. The solitary one stopped
chewing snd the antagonists faced.
The old boy straightened out hli
wlxp of a tsll to a Hue with his back
gathered hU four black hoofs together
arched bis ruine aud Mood shaking
bis huge front. He was old snd lame
but be never faltered. The young
bull csme on slowly twlatlng his tail
In circle as grand as thst small or
gan could compass. Ma eyes rolled
In redness aud his nostrils were dis-
tended. Wack! Tbe two curly fore-
heads came together. There was a
long strained push In which every ten
dom aeemed stretched to the utmost.
Tbo vigorous thrum was followed by
an caning off for another eolllaion.
Such dead net of mrength could not
lat long. 'ihe old c.iiasder's foot
slipped. There wss a audden lunge
a spring forward and tbe horn of the
young bull raked upward tbrouph
his antagonist's ' flank. Again and
again tbe buffalo tried to make his old
ward of bead to nead. but In vain.
With the agony of defeat In bis eyei
and the blood flowing from bis
many wounds he still refused to be
conquered. Flnslly with failing
strength open-mouthed with banging
tongue and pitiful panting he stood
motionlssts unable to fight unwilling
to retreat. The others ceme about
him and added their nottiful enorts
snd diga to bis humiliation. There
he stood whipped and milieu but still
obstinate.
The other buffaloes gradusily
dropped away. leaving him once n-ore
alone. Then the liuie calf pounced up
with srehed back and elevated tall
and gave his venerable parent to un
derstand fn plain terms Uiat he held
himself in readings to give him a
tremendous drubbing. It waa exss

Then bis cslfhlp noked his foollnh
hesd with a considerable thiimn
against the old one's nose. But It
nurt him and he ambled off to hit

to nolle his babyish "persecutor but I
suspect It broke bit heart. He turned
orrowfuily and slowly limped away.
