“Yes, I should have asked an appropriation from Congress to provide for your education as a victim of its charges, the red men.” “How splendidly it has come about! Tootsie’s relatives also live in the East, and he thinks they may return next year.” Thus they rejoiced for a time and then the scout said: “My pards and I will return to the fort to give you time to make your final preparations to leave this place till your school days are over. Tootsie may remain if he wishes and can be of service to you. When shall we return with prairie schooner and cavalry escort for the ‘Queen of the Stars’?” “In one week,” she answered promptly. And so it was left for Buffalo Bill to make the final arrangements at the fort. As it had been hoped, the Indians did not discover the loss of Little Cayuse, and were taken completely by surprise. They were surrounded in their village and easily overcome at daylight. Some of the leaders were held prisoners, but the others sent back to the reservation. Price and Bloody Ike were once more in the hands of the army with added charges hanging over them. It was learned eventually that they had escaped through the connivance of the brother-in-law of Price, who was also a half-brother of Captain Smith. The latter was dismissed from the army for the part he had played, and his half-brother was given two years in a military prison in addition to dismissal. The former Indian agent did not escape this time, and served a long term in the penitentiary. There was not much that could be proven directly against Bloody Ike, but in an attempt to escape he was shot and killed by a soldier on guard. Tootsie returned to make glad the hearts of his parents, after having derived much benefit from his association with Buffalo Bill and his pards. The little Indian girl was taken East with Mona and Mrs. Sherley, and took up school work gladly and with the promise of rewarding her fair patroness by her good advancement and of eventually becoming a useful member of society. THE END. No. 129 of THE BUFFALO BILL BORDER STORIES, entitled “Buffalo Bill’s Sure Guess,” is one of the most entertaining stories of the king of scouts, and gives the reader an insight into the wildest of wild Indian life. Everybody Reads The Street & Smith Novels High-brow public opinion has changed radically during the past few years, so far as placing a proper valuation on paper-covered reading matter is concerned. In the old days, anything between paper covers was a dime novel and, therefore, to be avoided as cheap and contaminating.
