We were now many miles from where we had left the river at noon, but hopA! we were not far from the fort by a direct, rou e across the prairie, though we did not know how far, neither of u< having been out there before. ‘Murrili, Fred 1’ exclaimed Bob, putting spurs to his horse, and getting excited. ‘Now for some sport, and away we went at a reck less, breakneck speed. Our game was a long distance off when first dircovered, and bad disappeared over the rise in the prairie, and was out of sight. We agreed to separate as soon as we readied the top of the ridge, and each take our game* and charge down upon tli -m, and cap tore both ii' possible.

I had no liope of Ihe ball doing him' any hurt if it hit him anywhere else; for you must know that these an imals always have a thick m iss of hair on their forehead, that is so matted together with sand and dirt, that no ball from a rifle will penetrate it, I knew, if a ball from my revolver struck his fore head, it would have no more ef- Icci than the wind blowing against it. I put my band to my belt ; but my revolver was gone, the scab hard was empty. It had probably fallen out when I was thrown from my horse. It was with a feeling somewhet ot despair t hat I found it gone. It seemed as if there was nothing but death before me; (or how could I hope to escape from, or cope successfully with, a 'wound ed buffalo—wounded, as I knew, in no vital part, but sufficiently to madden him ? I coni 1 hear more plainly his half snort and half grunt close at my heels—and could feel his brealh upon my back—in another instant he would be upon me— would pierce me with his short, stumpy horns, would grind me to the earth with his monster head, and trample me beneath his feet. I indeed felt that iny time bad come—that no earthly power could save me; a id instinctively I breathed a prayer to heaven. At that instant my feet became entangled, and I fell; the mad dened creature had just touched me as I went dowg, and was under such teiriblo headway that he passed directly over me without touching me. As his tail brushed over my face I grasped it, and was dragged to my feet,- as the buffalo, stopping Suddenly, ati tamp'e'd to turn upon me. But I had a now lease of my life. I held on to his tail with a death-grasp; and was dragged round and round. You may smile, dear reader, but the tail-hold was iny best hold now, and mv only hope of life; and I#eld on with a grim deter mination, while tlie bull Wheeled rapidly round and round, roaivd, snuffed, snorted and pawed tbe ground in his terrible rage, bug could not shake me iff. . ; / V But what should I do now f I know I could not bold.on to hpn long, as iny strength was nearly exhausted, having runftftO far be love I fell.

The first thing he saw was my horse without a rider, aml ihen he discovered me in the dis tance clinging hold of the bull's mil for dear life; and putting spurs to bis horse, bo came to mv assistance. It was some time be fore lie could venture to shoot, for fear ot hi! ting me; but he final ly succeeded in planting a ball di rectly in the animal’s breast.

It was a good many years ago. Kerr had just hung out his shingle as a law yer in Now Albany. Indiana, and was waiting for clients.
