“Now hold his head between your hands and tell him not to touch me.” “I don’t give two whoops ef he does,” Betty was bubbling with suppressed mirth. A mile or two down the creek the searching party sought diligently for the little lost boy. Moses was in the lead. He had announced his adamant resolve to find St. Elmo, or perform the irrevocable feat of “bustin’.” He cherished an idea of his own as to the child’s whereabouts.

The Blackfeet tell a story about how the first buffalo stone was found.
