THE HURON EXPORITOO,
SEPTEMBER 11, 1891
THE WHITE tA ARE.
In the valley, about a x miles above
the for of the Teton di er, in northern
Montana, is the B1aek!oot Indian agency.
A high stockade of split lOge standing on
and, deeply sunk in the "earth, inclosee
about two acres of ground.
Hetvy gate, opening clutward, SNVAYS
harshly on groat iron hinges. A well is
in the center of the inclo ure. it. Low log
buildings, levered with dale, are scat-
tered along the stockade.
A couple of sandhill ranes stood ex-
petttntly at the well, w iting patiently
for a thirsty Man to &ate "water.
A white-tailed deer, w th a broad blue
ribbon on her neck, alked daintily
around. Her cool blac muzzle, stud-
ded with drops of dew, brillant in the
slanting rays of the risin ,sun, was slyly
thrust into my hand, giv lig me a slight
shock of surprise. ,
By the stables stoor a cow moose,
standing so awkwardly w th crooked lege
and humped back, and the pendulous lip
which Mark Twain call "the Haps-
burg," that her very ugli less excited my
pity. A moose calf—h r miniature in
ugliness—stood stupidly by her side.
Standing at .the well, f Ping the grand
Rockyi
mountain range, drew a bucket
of water. Drinking de ply, repulsing
the advances of the femele crane with
my moccasined foot, I got the reward of
all men who reject the edvances of the
tender sex, and was soon engaged in re-
pelling a furious attack Ion me by the
long-legged twain. Th attack was
fierce. Ther long her bills clashed
-viciously as they scornfully scolded me,
and I was on the point al beating a dis
graceful retreat when heard, "Ho,
Frank! come have mouthful of
whisky ! "
Recognizing the voice gladly left the
cranes in undisputed p session of the
water bucket and Nira Eod across the
parade to the store of t fur company.
Bidding Burr "Good morning" I de-
clined the 'whisky on g punds unneces-
sary to state ; yet the ba iel had a yellow
head, and—and—well, knew the tap.
I sat and talked to B rg, who was in
charge of this exten ive store, and
before breakfaet he we t over it with
me.
A curious stock. Ever thing you could
not dud in an eastern c tintry was here.
As we walked he explai ed the butiness
to me. Alluring ? N t at all. He,
looking at his watch, aid, "We have
yet time before breakfa t to look at my
mare."
The sudden chance i the expression
of the voice, the softeni g of the eyes as
this hard Indian traotIr spoke of his
horse excited my curio ity and I went
with him. He took e to _e. low log
"stable, the chinks caref Uy mudded, the
open shutter and door Well made and
carefully fitted, eo as to exclude the buf-
falo gnats in season. few short, heavy
chains stretching from .9st to post kept
the horses in and ti e other animals
out.
With breast pushin against the top-
most chain, with her h ndsome broad
head thrust out, and I rt eare cocked
forward, stood a snow hate mare. She
was looking at the rn ose with a sur-
prised expression on her face, es much
as to say, "Well, you have not grown
handsomer during th bight." Burr
whistled, and with a joyful neigh the
mare turned her head toward him and
bade him welcome.
The greeting betwee Man and animal
was almost tender. he mare rubbed
her nese gently again t his breast and
the man stood softly treking her deli-
cate neck. Unlocking the chains, they
dropped. Burr walke tOward the well.
The mare. with dai ty ;steps, arched
neck and flecking tai , followed behind
him, or, 2are1essly adv ncing to his side,
rubbed her body against" his, as though
the mere contact wi h the man was
grateful to her. His arrh instiuctively
lifted and dropped ac oss her neck.
The two walked 0E1 to ether unconscious
•of one' incongruity. • A becket of water
stood at the well. T e high bred crea-
ture smelt of it, and etecting my previ-
ouspresenee.clisdainfully refund to drin
after me. Emptying the bucket Bur
drew another, and of his the mare dran
slowly, her white fac gradually sinking
into the vessel. All aerose the parade
on the return to th stable, the lov
scene was enacted. IAs they pessed m
the mare 'showed ier aversien to
stranger by laying back' her ears an
thrusting out her wi ite toothed muzzl
toward me in a vicio s Manner, causing
•me to step hastily aack.' They passed
into the darkness of he stable.
Burr comes out ith a bucket, puts
up the topmost ched and goes after bari
ley. The mare with ou stretched head I ooleti
after him with kino eyes. Again she
saw me, and with ide [ opened mouth
reached around the post' to pay me the
.attention of her dis Ike. " Returning to
the stable with a ful bucket full of bare
ley, Burr passed in. I heard him pottr
the grain into the fed box; I beard him
speak to his mare as his " dear girl, and
,
1
I heard him—kiss he .3,
A ehtgular gentle ess had come over
this hard man, -steel d t� human suffer
ing and woe, whose business it was tei
impoverish Indians to destroy their
morals, to brutify t em with the devil
alcohol; He sat at the breakfast table'
silently thinking, ith: the antelo
eteaks and trout u tatter' before him
Watching the softe ed face I wondere
what was the story. So I &eked :
"Burr, why do ou love that whi
mare ?'' He looked kindly at me, an
-vrith a sad smile rep ied :
"Tonight after tlfie men are in bed
will tell you the sto y." Then briakly :
"rank, this is not business. Eat, m
boy, then clear out, and fish or huntl,
You wiill find some prairie hens in th
biei willow thicket about five miles belo
here. I saw them the other day. Shoo
same. Tonight we 6frill havera feast,an
I will epen my last two bottles of eherr
and will talk."
Shouldering my rifle I stepped out of
the stoekade and slowly walked down
the valley. On the distant hillsides an-
te -1,11)a grazed ; down the valley before me
I could see deer running for cover to
the willows by the stream. Now and
then a grouse ,rose before me and flew
rapidly away. Resisting all temptation
to shoot at anything I "walked steadily
on.
Climbing a hill I sat, on a rock and
musingly gazed at the vast plains to the
northeaat, at the foothills of,,the range
arid at the rugged, rocky range beyond.
I love the rocky mountains Enid never
tire of their face. I wasted hours in
looking and thinking of the many tales I
had heard of the range.
When the sun was high above me I
started for the willows. There I neatly
shot the heads off of aix grouse. Then
jointing sjight trout pole I whipped the
clear peas of, the south fork of the Te.,
ten, and was soon rewarded by a string
of fine half -pound trout. Then eame the
pleasant walk back through the nool dry
air and'overthe crispy grass of the
north. What a luxury life was in the
• lley o the Teton. I turned my spoils
flyer to he smiling_ Indian woman Who
meted a cook for Burr. The rest of the
day I s nt on horseback running a te-
lope wi h a lot of half blood Indians. At
8 o'cloc supper was eaten. The sh rry
was br ught out, tied I scattered on the
ble a handful, my last, of Rola on-

talk, and having played my hand finally
resigne myself to my fate. i
"1 n ticed that the girl who ltl.d first
spoken o me in front of the lodge was
watchi g me. She would quickl glance
atme, nd then drop her eyesl on the
buckskin shirt she was embroidering
with Crow hair. Several times I noticed
this, and once I replied with a sImile.
"The lodge emptied. She quickly
came to my side, apparently o refold
some buffalo robes, and in a whisper
said: 'You are to die tornorr w. To-
night I will have the beet hor e in the

Then, with a smile: 'Tho met.e is mine.

Night was passing away, and still the

the point of a lanife come thr ngh and

whistling I waited, my heart t umpidg,

"1 never drew rein until I dismount-

saved me. With any other horse I
should have been recaptured and burned.
I have not got the girl. The love I have
for her the mare has instead. I return-
ed to my poet, and made no trade in the
Yellowstone that year.
"Again. Last winter- the snow was
on the ground in January, and for three
days I had been hunting for running
" antelope. The sun was very bright, and
my eyes hurt me. I saw specks floating
about ; little chains with smell links
were constantly before meet My eyes
burned,smartly when I returned to ,the
agency.
"Daily while hunting I had seen the
low, black cIouds in the north that indi-
• cate the formation or marshaling of the
winds of the frozen nerth. Daily the
south winds swept them beyond the
northern horizon, but the next morning
found them looming portentously in the
northern sky. On my returning to the
agency I found a runner -had just got in
from Belly river, in British America,
with important news for me. 'started
the next morning. My eyes hurt dread -
felly.
"I alwaysgoto the Belly river when the
Snow is on the ground by the way of the
sweet Grass I hills, and there I camped
one night. , One side of the hills is
always bare of snow,and there is a spring
of good water on the northern side of
the. center hill. A strong south wind
was blowing when I started, but by noon
I saw the clouds to the north suddenly
rise up. I knew that the marshalling of
the north winds was completed, and they
were. eager for the assault op the soft
south wind.
"On ame the black cloud. The south
wind still blew fiercely, but it couldenot
stem the assault from the arctic region.
Birds flew south beforetthe storm ; ante-

the landmarks disappear one by one as

"Then, with a mighty rush and a loud"
'noise, the head of the 'blizzard' swept
past me. The air was filled with parti-
cles of ice that cut through almost hori-
zontally and seemed as if they would.
never fall. Colder, even colder, grew
the wind, and denser the air as the ice
particles thiokened.
"1 sought shelter in the rocks. Buck-
ling the clothing on the mare I turned
-her loose, knowing that she would not
leave me. Then I lay down on my
blankets, and wrapping my beaver cloak
around me I tried to sleep.
"1 , began thinking and could not
sleep. The buffalo had not come south
that winter, and the wolves were gaunt
and hungry, As they follow a horseman
over the plains in the summer, so they
do inthe winter, only more of them,and
those gaunt, famine breeders, the gray
and black ones, go in largely increased
numbers. I had had, a pack of them at
my heels all day, and now they cropped
up in my thoughts.
"Finaily I slept. • When I awoke it
was dark. .Holding tip my naked hand
I felt the icy sWeat of the bliz-
zard ' strike sharply against it. The
roar of the wind still continued. I
waited, it nemed to me, for hours, when
I suddenly felt my mare paw my breast."
I spoke kindly to her, saying she had
made a mistake. Soon she pawed me
again, and I arose to find that all was
dark ; that I could not see the whit

• Alarmed, I struck a match under mY
cloak and looked down to 860 the lehtze.
I saw nothing, but the match burned my
fingers.. With a desolating despondency
I realized the haat that the glare of the
snow encountered for the past few days
had made me snow blind; that I was

"Stupid, almost wild with horror, I
thought I could hear the snuffling of the
wolves and the soft patter of their feet
below the wilk shriek of the arctic

face. She saw that something was
wrong with me, bet what she oould not

and, after she ate, to mount and let her:
take her own course. So I fed her the
remaining measure of barley, and waited
for her to eat., Then I saddled up, and
without brildling,mounted and wrapping
my cloak around me, sat steadily in the
saddle, awaiting the frisky action of the
high strung animal. Site stood tremb-
ling until I told her to go. Then I felt "
her turn until the ice drops struck
obliquely 011 my right side and back, and
she rapidly walked off. Not a motion
or movement did she make to discom-
pose my seat.
•
Wrapped in try cloak, with hood
,drawn over my face, warm and encour-
aged with hope. I patiently sat on my
horse. I could now hear the snarliug of
the wolves .and my only "fear was that
they, rendered desperate by hunger,
might attack the mare. I dismissed the
thought—would not think of It. If they
did attack us we were bit; if they did
notat thought we were safe.
"All day the 'blizard' raged and
tore icily around and on us. The mare
walked rapidiy or cantered slowly on.
It seemed to me that we had been travel-
in,g for days, for weeks even, when the
nitre stopped and -neighed loudly.
Reaching forward I felt the rough
stockade; dismounting I felt the hinged;
of the gate. Loudly I called. Then I
took my rifle from the saddle and raPid-
ly I handled earteidges into it.
" At last a sleepy -roice from the inside
celled hWbo is there?" I answered
'13urr ; and I am dead snow blind.
Come to nte.' They came and I was
saved--eaved for ftie secant" time by the
white mare. Do you wonaelethat I, not
having rie Sioux maiden, • love her
mare?"
I sat by the bright fire, with my feet
high on a stool, and did not answer—
emeply sat and smoked and thought af
the girl, of the teen, of the mare.—
