Danpointed to a small one, half hidden by the long mane; andairjordans 1 retro standing with his arm about Octoo's neck, he told the story of it.
'BlackHawk and I were after buffalo one time, but didn't find 'em as soonas we expected; so our food gave out, and there we were a hundredmiles from Red Deer River, where our camp was. Iairjordans shoes for sale thoughtwe were done for, but my brave pal says: "Now I'll show you howwe can live till we find the herds." We were unsaddling for thenight by a little pond; there wasn't a living creature in sightanywhere, not even a bird, and we couldairjordans 4 retro see for miles over the prairies. What do you think we did?' And Danlooked into the faces round him.
'Ateworms like the Australian fellows,' said Rob. 'Boiled grass orleaves,' added Mrs Jo.
'Perhapsfilled the stomach with clay, as we read of savages doing?' suggestedMr Bhaer.
'Killedone of theairjordans 3 retro horses,'cried Ted, eager for bloodshed of some sort.
'No;but we bled one of them. See, just here; filled a tin cup, put somewild sage leaves in it, with water, and heated it over a fire ofsticks. It was good, and we slept well.'
'Iguess Octoo didn't.' And Josieuggsale patted the animal, with a face full of sympathy.
'Neverminded it a bit. Black Hawk said we could live on the horses severaldays and still travel before they felt it. But by another morning wefound the buffalo, and I shot the one whose head is in my box, readyto hang up and scare brats into fits. He's a fierce oldairjordans shoes for women fellow,you bet.'
'Whatis this strap for?' asked Ted, who was busily examining the Indiansaddle, the single rein and snaffle, with lariat, and round the neckthe leather band he spoke of.
'Wehold on to that when we lie along the horse's flankairjordan 1 60+ pack farthest from the enemy, and fire under the neck as we gallop roundand round. I'll show you.' And springing into the saddle, Dan was offdown the steps, tearing over the lawn at a great pace, sometimes onOctoo's back, sometimes half hidden as he hung by stirrup and strap,and sometimes off altogether, running beside her as she lopedairjordan 4 lightingalong, enjoying the fun immensely; while Don raced after, in acanine rapture at being free again and with his mates.
Itwas a fine sight--the three wild things at play, so full of vigour,grace, and freedom, that for the moment the smooth lawn seemed aprairie; and the spectators felt as if this glimpse of another lifemadecheapair jordans shoes theirown seem rather tame and colourless.
'Thisis better than a circus!' cried Mrs Jo, wishing she were a girlagain, that she might take a gallop on this chained lightningairjordans 1 phat low of a horse. 'I foresee that Nan will have her hands full settingbones, for Ted will break every one of his trying to rival Dan.'
'Afew falls will not harm, and this new care and pleasure will be goodfor him in all ways. But I fear Dan will never follow a plough afterridingairjordans 23 shoes a Pegasus like that,' answered Mr Bhaer, as the black mare leaped thegate and came flying up the avenue, to stop at a word and standquivering with excitement, while Dan swung himself off and looked upfor applause.
