| 16the fact of the bold hunter after the red
man in the West and the equally successful
hunter o the pungen red eye in the East.
It is a well-known fact taht not the most
trivial incident of the great escapes the
eye of history; thus it was with untamed
hunter of the buffalo, his dejected looks
ere nighfall were accounted for: He had
grown tired of the slow monotony of life
in the gay cities and longed once more for
the bracing air and untammedled freedom
of his native plains, even as the thirsty toper
after a lively attack of the jim-james
pants for the flowing bowl. But he did
not intend to fly alone. The arrow of Cupid
had pierced his heart and long association
with Dove eye, of blood and
thunder troupe, in which Bill is a shining
light, had made him a slave to her charms.
It may be as well to state here that Dove
Eye, who passes for a dusky maiden -- an
[word?] and gentle denizen of the forest --
is a native of the County of Wexford, and
passed her early years in the City of Cork
in the Gem of the Sea. How she derived
her Indian descent, according to
the bills and posters of the copany, is
not stated adn remains a but for the conming
ethnologist to crack. However that
may be, bill was in love with Dove Eye,
as before remarked. He loved her with a
devotion which was only equaled by his
love for red eye. Yesterday he approached
the object of his affectiong and in accordance
with the dime novel code of etiquette,
cast a longing look at Dove Eye, and explained:
"Fly with Me. Let us once more
live on the boundless prairie, never to return
to the haunts of the pale face. Toward
the setting sun we will rear our dusky
race, and swear them to eternal enmity to
the whites in general and constables, and
other varminis in particular. My steed
awaits, let us go; or I meant to say, we
can take the Kaukakee route time shorter,
and far as low as any other routhe" --
siad Bill remembreing that steeds were
played out. "Dove Eye, fly with me to the
desert: rememebr that there is but one
change of ears on the great Kangaroo
thourhg line.
"The Heart of the Buffalo Slayer"
Is lonely there is no one to share his wigwam,
none to cook the leathery buffalo
when he returns home wearly from the
change, and he boils the join of roast dog
and other aboriginal luxuries in solitude.
There is no charge for omnibus transfers,
and two expereinced doctors with a full
comp[?]ment of amputating apparatus on
all through trains."William would have
said much more had he not been pretty
well charged with fire-water, and had he
not tired to encircle the slender waist of
Dove Eye to give emphasis to his wooing.
This change of tactics brough conversation
to a sudden close, Dove Eye, the
real and loving for further particulars see
small hills -- has a temper of her own, the
warmth of which is accounted for by her
auburn ringlets.
She made no reply, but picked up a war
club used on the stage and laid it with
[word?] gentle forced and percision over
bison hunter's [word?] that he rolled to
the floor. "I'll tache yes ye long0haird
spalpeen to be calling a dacent girl all
them names," said she, in a brogue of the
mintutored man from over the waters.
With this solve observation she proceeded
to sid down on William's manly but prostrate
from with a heftiness tha left him
little breath for war-whoops in the evening
performance. He hasalso a dim recollection
that a few handfuls of blonde locks
taht he lost were twisted out of his scalp
in the fray. As soon as Dove Eye got out
of breath, William left the room a sadder
and a wiser man, and will at once advertise
for another Indian maiden, prefacing
the same with the positive assurance that
no red-haired ones need apply. | 16the fact of the bold hunter after the red
