About two o'clock in the morning
We knocked off dancing about midnight and had supper , -- good coffee with no end of way-up fine chuck . We ate as we danced , heartily . Supper over , the dance went on full blast . About two o'clock in the morning , the wire edge was well worn off the revelers , and they showed signs of weariness . Miller , noticing it , ordered the Indian war-dance as given by the Cheyennes . That aroused every one and filled the sets instantly . The fiddlers caught the inspiration and struck into `` Sift the Meal and save the Bran . ''
