AFTER BIG GAME
Attracted by the noise of Will's fall, and the sound of the bucking bronco, Mr. Harrison turned quickly. He leaped from his horse and hurried to where the lad was stretched out near the bronco. The steed, now that it had gotten rid of the person on his back, was quiet.
"What happened? What's the matter, Will?" asked Gabe.
"That bronco threw him," explained Mr. Hurd. "I just caught a glimpse of it. A nasty fall, too. Is he badly hurt?"
"There don't seem to be any bones broken," replied Mr. Harrison, as he began feeling of Will's arms and legs.
"Oh, Will! Are you killed?" cried Jed, jumping from the saddle and kneeling beside his brother.
At that moment the boy on the ground opened his eyes.
"Did I—did I stay on?" he asked, as he put his hand to his head.
"Not very long," replied Mr. Hurd. "How do you feel?"
"Somewhat dizzy. I guess I'm not hurt much."
