A shout of warning from the cavalry caused him to turn quickly and he beheld the second chief riding down upon him at full speed.
But Bill turned upon him, and a shot from his revolver got him another scalp.
But hardly had he stooped to tear it from the skull, when the Indians, with wildest yells, charged upon him.
They were nearer to him than was the regiment, and it looked bad for Buffalo Bill; but the gallant Fifth charged in splendid style, met the Indians in a savage fight, and then began to drive them in wild confusion, and pushed them back into the Agency a sorely whipped body of Cheyennes, and grieving over heavy losses.
Upon reaching the Agency Buffalo Bill learned that the two Indians he had killed in the duel were Yellow Hand and Red Knife, and Cut Nose, the father of the former swore some day to have the scout's scalp.
But Buffalo Bill laughed lightly at this threat, evidently believing the old adage that "A threatened man is long lived."
CHAPTER XXXI.
CONCLUSION.
Having gone over many of the thrilling scenes in the life of W.F. Cody, Buffalo Bill, from boyhood to manhood, and shown what indomitable pluck he possesses, and the pinnacle of fame he has reached unaided, and by his own exertions and will, I can only now say that much remains to be told of his riper years, from the time he stepped across the threshold from youth to man's estate, for since then his life has been one long series of perilous adventures which, though tinged with romance, and seeming fiction, will go down to posterity as true border history of this most remarkable man, the truly called King of Prairiemen.
