Let's go on and pull on straight by them, the way they did us, and call it a draw all around." Belknap nodded, and Auberry turned again to the four Sioux, who stood tall and motionless, looking at us with the same fixed, glittering eyes.

"We have spoken," said Auberry.

"That is all we have to say." Both parties turned and went back to their companions.

Belknap, Auberry and I had nearly reached our waiting troopers, when we missed Orme, and turned back to see where he was.

He was standing close to the four chiefs, who had by this time reached their horses.

Orme was leading by the bridle his own horse, which was slightly lame from a strain received in the hunt.
"Some buck'll slip an arrer into him, if he don't look out," said Auberry.
