Here they behold the faithful Biddy, craning her long neck up and down the road, and filled with wildest anxiety. As soon as it was dark, the man called the chiefs and old men to his lodge, and his wife taught them the song that she had heard. They prayed too, as the stone had said should be done. Before long they heard far off a noise coming. It was the tramp of a great herd of buffalo.
