THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, I860. NEB BUNTLINE'S GREAT STOKV! THK 0 HEAT LIVING SCOUT T r A i O Bin,. THE KINO OF I'.OKDER MEN! The Wlldcut, Truest Mtory Ned llnntllae Kvr Wrote ! An oasis of green wood on a Kannan tralrlo bright Btreaui shining like liijald Bilvcr in the moonlight a loj? houso built undor the limbs of Rreat treos within this humble home a happy group. This Is my Una picture. Look well on tho leading llure In that group. You will see him but this once, yet on his sad fate hinges all the wild and fearful realities which are to follow, drawn to a very great ex tent, not from imagination, but from life itself. A noble-looking, white-haired man sits br a rough table, reading the I'.lblo aloud. On stools by his feet sit two beautiful little girls, his twin daughters, not more than ten years of age, while a noblo boy of twelve or thirteen stands by the back of the chair where sits the haud Bome, yet matronly-looking mother. It is the hour tor family prayer before retiring lor the night, and Mr. Cody, tho Christian, al ways remembers it in the heart of his dear home. lie closes the holy book, and is about to kneel and ask Heaven to blots und protect him and his dear ones. Ilttrk! The sound of horses gallowing with mad ppeed towards his house falls upon his car. "Is it possible there is another Indian alarm?" he says, inquiringly. Alas, worse than the red savages are riding in hot haste towards that door. "Ilallo the house!" is shouted loudly, a a large cavalcade of horsemen halt before the door. "What is wanted, and who are ye?" asked the good man, as ho threw wldo open the door and stood upon its threshold. "You are wanted, you black-hearted nlggcr worshipper, and i Colonel M'Kandlas have come to fetch you! And there's the warrant!" as trie ruman leader or the Dana shouted these words, the pistol already in his hand was raised, levelled, fired, and the father, husband, and Christian fell dead beforo his horror-stricken family. "If them gals was a little older but never mind, boys, this will be a lesson for the sneaks that come upon tho border let's bo oil, for there's plenty more work to do before daylight!" continued the wretch, turning the head ol his florae to ride away. "Stop!" It was but a single word spoken, too. by a boy whose blue eves shone wildly In a face as white ixs ncw-fallon snow and full as cold spoken as ho stood erect over the body of his dead father, weaponless and alone. Yet that rutllan, aye, and all of his mad, reck less crew, stopped ns if a mighty spell was laid upon them. "You, Jake M'Kandlas, have murdered my father! You, base cowards, who saw him do this dark deed, spoke no word to restrain him. I am ouly Little Hill, his son. but as God in Heaven hears mo now, I will kill every father's son of yon beforo the beard grows on my face !" "Hear the little rooster crow. He'll fight when his spurs grow, if we don't cut his cemb now," cried the leader, with a mocking laugh, aud lie raised his pistol once more. "Monster, you have robbed me. of a husband; you shall not kill my boy," shrieked the mother, as she sprung forward and drew her son up to her own bosom. "Colonol, there's a big gang of men comin' over the prairie. We'd better git," cried a scout, riding in at this moment. "Aye! For I don't want to kill a woman, if I can help it. Column to the right, boys, and follow me." In a minute, at full speed, the party dashed away after their leader, and tho wretched family were left alone with the dead. Frozen with terror and awe, tho beautiful twins, Lilile and Lottie.erfipt out to the doorway, where their mother and Mthcr knelt over the stiffening form ot him who had been so good and kind their dear father. Oh, what a picture! Grief was still. Nor sob, nor tear, not even a moan arose. They were dumb with agony paralyzed with a sense of utter bereavement. It is now 1861. The old log house has disap peared, but in the same noble grove a pretty white cottage is seen. Barns and haystacks all tell a story of good farming and profitable re sults. On the embowered porch of this cottage sits the widow, mill in her mourning garb, worn for him whoso death we have already pictured, and near her stand two lovely girls the twin sisters, Lillie and Lottie, now in the early bloom of beautiful womanhood. They look alike, are dressed alike, and are exceedingly beautiful. Lillie held a letter In her hand which the mounted mail carrier had left as he swept by. "Oh, mamma, mamma ! brother is coming home! He savs ho will be here before the sun sets on the twenty-fifth ! The letter is from Fort Kearney, and ban been long in coming. "Is not to-day the twenty-fifth?" asked Lottie. 'To be sure it is, and he will he here. Our William is wild, but he never tells a falsehood. He is too proud for that ! Heaven bless him ! said the mother, in a low, earnest tons. "He is not coming alone," said Lillie. "He briners two frisnds with him. "It lacks scarce a half hour of sunset," said the mother. At the same Instant Lillie, who had been glancing through an avenue which led west ward in the grove, cried out: "Thev are coming ! They are coming !" And three minutes later, their horses frothy and hot, three horses at full speed dashed up to the gate lronting tne cottage. "Oh ! brother ! brother !" cried the two sis ters. joyously, and all heedless of the stranger eyes now looking on them, they rushed out to embrace and kiss him. Buffalo Bill, for this was he, had learned to lftde all Jus feelings, but with a gentle louder- ness he shook himself out of their embraces, and orescntinir his two friends by name, hurried on to meet the dear mother, who, with glistening eves, waited to greet ner uioi ana ner pride. "My good mother!" was all he Bald, as he Dressed his manlv lips to her white forehead. "Mv dear son I" was all she said, but nazes would not describe the reverence in his tone, or the nndvluar love in her iook. Bill now presented his friends in more form to nls mother than ne nun ueemuu necessary in the cose ot his sisters. "This, mother," said he, presenting a young man who, in form and appearance, resembled himself very closely, though ho was an inch taller and hardly so muscular, "this 1b my mate this is Bill Hitchcock, the best friend I ever had. or ever will have, outside of our own family, Three times has he saved me from being wiped out. Once by the Ogalialas, once when 1 was taken with the cramns In the ice-cold Platte, last winter, and once when old Jake M'Kandlas and his gang had a sure set on me. Us and I will sink or swim in the same river, and that's a safe bet. . Bill, that's mv mother, and a better never trod the footstool l'' Wild Bill, with a natural trraee. bent his proud head and took the hand of the lady, saying, in a tremulous tone: "I'm glad to see you, ma'am, for I've got a ' good old mother that I haven't seen this many a day, ttuu ymo ijiuci uuuo uit ui aiuio m, "And this othor," continued Bill, "is Dave Tutt. He la good on a hunt, death on the reds, and as smart as Dorucrruen are made nowadays Now, boys, you're all acquainted, make your This Is the nom it chaHt of William V. Cortv, ths greatest hunter, gutilu, ami scout la the fur We -a, uow employed lu that capacity in (lenoriil Augur's dHiittrtimwt, and a preut favorite with Uouerals 0 in ter ami Mii-ildan.

Thrco more pcrfoct men In point of personal beauty never trol the earth. Wild Bill, six feet and one inch in height, straight as an ash, broad in shoulder, round and full in chest, slender in the waist, swelling out in muscular proportions at hips and thighs, with tapering limbs, small bands and feet, his form was a "study." His face, open and clean, lmd regular features, the noso slightly aquiline. His largo bright eyes, now soft and tender in ex pression, were a bluish grey in color, shaded by lashes which often drooped over his bronzed check ns he looked down, somewhat confused in iemnlo society, to which ho was unused, ills long brown hair fell in wavy masses over his shoulders, but it wns fine, soft, and glossy as silk. The same picture will do for Buffalo Bill, only this difference noted. Tho eyes of tho latter were nearer a blue in color, his height one inch less, una his liair a little moro wavy and a snaae lighter. Dave 1 u U, nearly of the same height, was equally well formed, but there the resemblance ceased. His eyes wore black as jet, and doenly set, though his features were perfect, and. when he chose, his expression soft and winning. His hair, curling slightly, was black and glossy. But with all his beauty, there was a sensual ex pression about his mouth, so utterly different from that In tho other two, and a licrco, passion ate lonelns: in his eyes, winen made tho two girls, instinctive in their purity, shrink from him. After supper the reunited family and their guests were cosily seated in tho sitting-room, w hen Mrs. Cody, whose face was towards the window, screamed out in sudden terror, and rose to her feet with a face so deathly pale that it scemea as n sue was auatn-strickcn. "What is it, mother i" cried Bill, springing to ner siae. "The window hit was there!" sho gasped, ana men snc swooncu away. 'lie? Girls, look out for mother. I'll see what he was at tho window!'' cried Bill, and he sprung to tne open casement. As he did so, a bullet whistled past his car and struck the opposite w all, while a hundred wild yells proclaimed that Indians had surrounded the house. Wild Bill, cool and collected, instantlv blew out uoiu mo lignis, exclaiming: "Darkness hero and moonlight out thar! won ho aa ngnt in a shake. .Jump lor vour tools, boys: mine handy. Gals, lay low out o' range; we'll soon let tho reds know old hands are here Iho thrco young men, reinforced by three negroes aud one white man, the farm hands, were ready for work in less than a minute, and as the Indians did not seem disposed to make rush for tho inside of tho house, crept quickly to points where from the doors and windows they could pick the fiends out from their coverts among the trees around. Mcfintlmf till, twins llfirl ailPfnorlpil In rnctr.rl. the mother to consciousness, and to the hurrieS inquiry of her sou as to whom she had seen at tho w indow, replied that she had recognized the lace ot Jake M Kandlus, the murderer of her husband, glaring in with a look so full of hate and vindictive cruelty that 6he was completely horror stricken. "There's too many rods out there, or I 'd make a rush and settle his hash!" said her son. "ff he'll only stay 'till we thin 'em down a few. I'll accommodate him with a private entertainment. Look out for yourselves, girls tho boys are giv ing 'cm Jessie, und it's about time my baud was in : A rapid firing had been going on from the mo mcnt Wild Bill got to tho door, the Indians shooting at random, for all in the house was dark except the flash of tho guns, but every now and then a yell of agony told that the attacking party were not going unpunisneu. They could only bo seen as thev sprang from tree to treo for cover, but their terrible yells ringing through tho air told that In numbers they were at least ten to one of the defending party. vnars tne MocKf wont thev try to run that 0117" asked Wild Bill, as his mate, standing by his side, sent a Bed to eternity with a shot trom Bis lavorite long rino. 1 expect the)' will. 1 would almost as soon lose iu. hair as to lose Powder Face, for tho insect has carried mo through more bad scrapes than I've time to count," said Buffalo Bill, refer ring to his lavorite horse. And I will lose my hair afore I'll lose Black Nell, for she never deserted me. She'll kick the head off any Kcd that tries to mount her. But can't we gt to the horses ? "V ait till 1 give JJavc and the boys in here their rdrs, and then you an' me will get to the norsti ana come in on em iikc as it we were fresh bands in the fight That s the talk, Bill that s the talk. Only let me and Black Nell and you and Powder Face give 'em a charge in the rear and they're gone in!" "i'eppcr into cm then, till l tell the boys here where we're golu', so they'll be keerful how to shoot when we're a comin . Buffalo Bill now hurriedly told Dave Tutt and the men, who were firing at everything they saw move among the trees, what he and Wild Bui intended to do. 1 he girls and his mother were to know nothing of it till it was all over. lor the two unis lcit as sure ol driving oil the loe by their plan as it tney were already in lull chase oi them. Duvo Tutt did not exnress any wish to eo along, which rather surprised Buff alo Bill, for it was a duty that bravo men would surely court. But there was a reason lor this, as there is iudecd for everything, as the reader will learn by-and-by. Ihe two irienas, carrying tneir arms ana bend ing low in the shadow of the garden bushes, crept away from the bouse until they reached a ! - n.i J 1 J . 1 . n ... gram-ueiu uuyuuu iuo truce, iuiu wuiuii mey moved swiftly. They had but a little distance now to go to reach the stock pasture, and they got to the last in the very nick of time. a nau-ao.en auswy ngurcs were aireauy mere, and the horses, disturbed by tho firing, were verv uneasy as these advanced. '1 wo shrill calls, understood well by , tho ani mals for which thev were iutended, brought two noble animals, "Black Nell" and "Powder Face," to the edge of tho grain-field. The next instant, needing neither saddle nor bridle, the two men were mounted, and withont a word, both dashed forward upon tho Indians who were after the Block. So suddenly and unexpectedly were these overwhelmed not a shot being lired, only the tomahawk used that there was no alarm in the grove. Then the two men sped on, not noise lessly now, but whooping and yelling in wild concert, and urging their steeds faster by their cries, till they were upon the rear of the aston ished redskins, pouring out shot after shot with deadly effect on the enemy. heeling ana circling here ana lucre, never mifslnga Bhot it seemed as if there were twenty, rather than two lid Bill and our hero dashed on. carrying death at every leap. The Indians, who were Cheyennes, supposing this to be a reinforcement to thoso who had de fended the house so well, soon gave way aud lied in every direction, but not before full half their number had fallen. "Curse them, w hy do they shoot so careless from the house this is the second graze I have had from there," cried Wild Bill, as ho wiped tho blood from a wound grazing kis cheek. "There's a hole iu my hat from the same quarter," said Buffalo Bill. "I'd like to know what they mean. It can't be but they know where we are. Novcr mind I must huut up old M'Kandlas now, for if mother saw him he must be here. Let's chasj) them, Bill, as long us we cun." The two men dashed away, and again a bullet, evidently from the house, passed so close to Buffalo Bill's head that ho felt Us wind. The Indians scattered far and wide, but the two men succeeded in knocking over a half dozen more,when the thought struck them that it was bettor not to go far from the house lest some lurking behind would continue the attack, aud thev rode buck. . . The search for a white man among the bodies of the slain was unsuccessful, so Bill decided in I his mind that If M'Kaiullcss had been iu the party he had escaped this lluio. As they approched the house they took pains to make their individuality known by signals which could not be misunderstood, therefore they were spared the perils which It seemed friends rather than their foes had cast upon tbcm during the charge. In a short time, their horses left close in the shadow of tho house, the two brave friends were in it once more. "You can light up, I reckon, cried Buffalo Bill when he entered. "Tho Red, or what's left of 'em, arc off to their tribes on the run." Thank lieavcn, you are saio. said jvirs. Cody, as she heard the voice of her son. "I hope you and your brave friend are unharmed ?" "Ail riirnt, niotucr. out a scratch or two mat cold water will heal but are you sure you saw the face of Jake M'Kandlas at the window ?" Yes. my son I never can fonret his face. I Surely saw It." fl ' 1 hen ho has got otf this time. I knew most of his gang had gone under, but I didn't think ho had taken up w ith the Cheyennes. They say that every tribe In the West but tho Pawnees are golnir with tho Houth. If thev are, we border loiks will have our hands lull. I5ut we re goou for 'em, areu't we, Bill?" 'I reckon we arc, if wo know ourselves, said Wild Bill. The moon had cone down before day dawned, but the repulsed Cheyennes never bated in their headlong speed until a couple of hours after sHnrlFC, when they had reached a tulck cotton wood grove on the south bank of tho Republican river. ' Here, at the call of their chief, they dismounted and gathered around him. By his side, with a scowl of anger and some show of distrust, too, in his lace, stood Jake M Kandlas, the whito rut flan who had planned this foray. Looking sternly at him, alter counting: the warriors left, the old chief said: 1 here will be a great cry among the squaws in the lodges of the Cheyennes. Many warriors have gone down their scalps are in the belts of our enemies, and we have not a scalp to show that has been taken in return for ours, wiiat has the Hawk of the Hills to say to this?" That which tho ureat spirit wills to be, win be!" said M'Kandlas in reply. "If we had fouirht as w hite men fight, and charged right in on them, we would now have their scalps in our belts. Big ilaplo would not listen to my words. He fought his way and lost half his warriors. It is not my fault. I have spoken." The Hawk ot the mils has spoken with a single tongue, jus woras arc true, nut, tne faces of the tribes will be black when we go back without scalps, v, hat has my brother to say to that? askea tho chiel. "That li we go oacK wituout scams, wo are fools!" said M'Kandlas, quietly. "If tho gun of Big Maple misses fire, does ho throw It away, or pick the flint aud try It again ? There are more days and nights than one, ana plenty or paio faces are scatterca aoout tne plains, iho liawK of the Hills knows other settlements which wo can reach in two or three days' journey. We can go there for plunder and scalps and then come back here, aud when the lighting men ire not here or are asleep, we can sprinkle the bones of our dead with tho blood of vengeance where thev fell." Ihe Hawk of the Mills speaks hko a man. The heart of Big Maple was weak. It is strong again. The warriors will cook meat, and eat while their horses rest and feed. Light blazlngllreR.emittingscarcelyanysmoko, were now made lrom arv twigs, ana the war riors made a hearty meal, the first for twenty- four hours, it was not finished when an alarm was given by a scout. White men mounted and armed were coming in from the South. "Thev arc not those we fought last night said M'Kandlas. "They have not had time to get to this side of the river. I will ride out alone and sco who thev are. Lctmyredbro thcrs remain where they arc, ready to light or to lice, if thev see that 1 am among their enemies. "Tho Hawk of the Hills Is a great brave. His words are good and his deeds go with them," said tho Cheyenne chief. M'Kandlas now mounted his horse, put a nit of white cloth on tho ramrod of his rille, aud rode out from the shelter of tho grove towards the group of advancing horsemen, some ten or a dozen in number. They halted as soon as he was observed and seemed to look to their arms. He rodo boldly on until within two or three hundred yards, when a shout of recognition rose on uum Blues :iuu uiuu iuuu lai'iuij- i uiuui uiiu. They were his own men from the Black Hills, whom he had left there to carry on his business of pillaging emigrants, while he came down ou an expedition on uls own private nccount. "Why are you here ?" he asked, as they rode up. " VYhat did you leave Cave Canyon lor ?" "Because we got sarched out, and scorched out and whipped out !" said one, who seemed to head tho party. "Well, boys, I'm glad you are here, for now I'll do the work I failed in last night. That infernal fiend, Buffalo Bill, with Wild Bill and Dave Tutt, wiped out over twenty Cheyennes that I piloted down to the Cody place last night." "Dave Tutt? Why he is one of us one ot our sort, at any rate!" said Frauk Stark, tho one who hud spoken first. "Yes ho used to be, but he's with them now. I couldn't get to see him alone, or I would have known what it meant. I had my own idea that he was after one of tho gals, for they were purtler than any pictur that was ever painted, ana x Know ne s ucaiu alter mat kiuci oi game. But ride on, boys, and get something to eat, and then we'll plan for a nice bit of work to-night. There's between twenty and thirty Cheyenucs left, nnd they'll light like blazes for revenge." M'Kandlas" now turned and rodo back with his men to the grove, so busy in talking with them that he did not notice a single person ou a hill beyond the river, who had evideutly seen all his movements, and who rode off swiftly wheu the rulllan leader entered the grove. "There nro warriors from my band in the Black Hills, come to fight by the Bido of their chief!" said M'Kandlas to the Cheyenne chief, as he and his men rode up among the camp-llres. "They are welcome as the rain when the earth is dry, Big Maple is glad to see them here." "Now cook and eat, boys," said M'Kandlas, "and let vour horses rest and feed till wo are right. We'll then wipe out Buffalo Bill and his party, and make a raid down the river as far as we can and thcu strike for the Platte for a rest."
