Sure enongh, Rube was out on the prairie | pniacly half a mile distant from the camp. |

Hix head and snoulders were just visible

above the tall stalks of the helianthus; and we could see, by his stopping at |

. . j intervals, that he was bending over some

game he lad killed, cutting it up. The game we could not see, ou account of the iuvterposed stalks of the weeds. :

Without other remark passing between ns, we de-cended to the arrayo, aud con tinved our fi<hing We took it for granted that Rube did not require any aid, or he would have signalled to us. He would soou return with his game to the camp.

We had just discovered that silver-fish (a species of hyodon) were pleutifui in the stream, aud this attracted us back. We were desirvus of taking some of them for our dinner, kuowing them to be excellent ea'ing, aud far superior to the despised ** cat.”

Having changed our bait for some small pieces of gold-lace, which my uni- form furnished, we succeeded in pulling several of these beautiful creatures out of the water; and were con- gratulating one another upou the delicious broil we should have, when our couversation was suddenly in- terrupted by a crackling noise, that

cais«] bh of us totirn our faces to} wards the prairie. The sight that met our eyes prompte? us to spring simul- taucously to our feet Our horses already reared upon their lazoes, neighing with affright, and the wild screams of Rube’s mustang mare were loud and continuous. There was no mystery about the cause ; that was obvious at a glance. The wind had blown some sparks among the dry flower-stalks. The prairie was on fire!

Though startled at the first of the con- flagratiou, tr ourselves we had nenniniy to fear. The bottom on which we stood | was asward of buffalo-grass ; it | was not likely

to catch fire, and even if| it dia, we could easily escape from it, There is not much danger in a buraing| prairie where the grass is light and short; | oue can dash through the line of fiame with vo further injury than the singeing | of his hair, or a little ~uffocation ed smoke ; but upon a pi iain covered with | rauk and thick vegetation, the case is | very different. We therefore felt no apprehension for ourselves, but we. did for our compauion; his situation filled us with alarm.

Was he still where we had last seen him? This was the first question we asked one another. If so, then his peril was great iudeed; escape would be alinost hopeless! We had observed him a full half mile out among the weeds. He was on foot too. To have attempted & retreat towards the opposite side of the | prairie would have been foliy ; it was | three miles off.
