On my return from a hunting trip a few days later I met a man who had come into town on the stage-coach, and whom Mrs.Cody had seen looking over the town site from every possible angle.

He asked me to go for a ride around the surrounding country with him the next day.

I told him I was going on a buffalo hunt.
