STORY #69

Bill's Narrow Escape

The pony galloped full-tilt through sand and sage brush. Its rider bent low in the saddle, an old Army revolver blazing, as arrows whizzed all around him. Buffalo Bill Cody was going to get the mail through, or die trying.

Suddenly, Bill had an idea. Sliding the pony to a stop, he turned around. Quickly re-loading the pistol in his hand, he pulled a second pistol from under his shirt. Putting the reins in his teeth, Bill charged the screaming horde of painted warriors--who were so surprised and awestruck by Bill’s courage, they let him get away to freedom.
