CHAPTER OE sia

After giving way toa pang of disap-

wero

pointment, I began to think ef the posi-

tion iu which I had placed myself. It is true I was now relieved from the feel- ing of awe that, but a moment before, had oppressed me; but my situation was far from being a pleasant one. I was at least thirty miles from the rancheria, and | could not tellin what direction it lay. The sun was setting, and .there- fore I had the points of the compass ; but I had not the slightest idea whether we had ridden eastward or westward, after leaving the settlements. I might ride back on my own trail; perhaps I might ; it wasa doubtful point. Neither through

VOL I )---N ( ). oe),

But no: it had not the filmy, ganze-like halo that hangs over the mirage. Its outlines were sharply defined by the |prairie turf, and the last lingering rays of the sun glistened upon its surface. It was water!

Fuily assured of this, I rode forward at a more rapid rate } I had got within two hundred paces of ithe spot, keeping my eyes fixed upon the glistening water, when all at once my |horse started, and drew back! I looked ahead to discover the cause. The twi- light had nearly passed, but in the obs seurity I could still distinguish the sur- face of the prairie. The barranca again frowned before, running tranversely across my path. To my chagrin, I per- ceived that the chasm had made a sudden turn, and that the pound was on its opposite side.

A San Francisco paper reports :—‘‘ The petition of William Irvine for special letters of administration on the estate of Emeline L. Haslam was filled yesterday. The petition sets out that she died in this city November 27th, 1881, and had no known relatives in this State ; that the Public Administrator found among her papers two documents purporting to be her last will and testament; that petitioner was attorney for deceased, and is the principal creditor ;- that litigation to which deceased was a party in reference to a part of her property in San Francisco is pending ; that one of the executors named in the will of the latest date is dead and the other resides tear Mokelummne Hiil; that the executor named in the will of older date is said to reside in Prince Edward Island.

The older will is dated San Francisco, November 16th, 1868, and signed Emeline L. Mathewson; it is witnessed by Howell Powell and Joel S. Blatchy. The latest will is dated May 26h, 1879, and is signed by Emeline L. Haslam. The former is written on ordinary legal cap paper, and

I was hungry;

Not a drop of water was near; I had seen nove for twenty miles. The long hot ride had made me thirst to an unusual degree, and my poor horse was in a similar condition. The knowledge that no water was. near, added, as it always does, to the agony, and rendered the physical want more difficult to be en- dured.

I scanned the bottom of the barranca, aol tracked it with my eye as far as I conid see: it was waterless as the plain itself The rocks rested upon dry sand and gravel ; not a drop of the wished-for element appeared within its bed, although it was evideut that at some time a torrent must have swept along its channel.

After some reflection, it oceurred to me that by followiug the barranca down- ward, I might find water; at least. this

and Freights insured in was the most likely direction in which to

search for it. I rode forward, therefore, directing my horse along the edge of the The fissure deepened as {I ad- vanced, until, at the distance of a mile from where I first struck it, the gulf yawned fully fifty feet into the plain, the sides still preserving their vertical steep- ness !

| Night was fast closing over the prairie; 'I dared not ride further amid these perilous absyms. I must soon come to a halt, without finding water. I should have to spend the long hours without The thought of such a night was fearful.

| I was still riding slowly onward, ‘mechanically conducting my horse, when ‘a bright object fell under my eyes, | causing me to start in my saddle with an ‘exclamation of joy. It was the gleam |of water. I saw it in a westerly direc- ‘tion, the direction in which [ was going. |It was a small lake, or—in the phrase-

a res subscriber is now making an assort- “olegy of the country—a pond. It was

not in the bottom of the ravine, where I

‘had hitherto been looking for water, but upon the high prairie. There was no timber around it, no sedge ; its shores | were without vegetation ef any kind, land its surface appeared to correspond with the level of the plain itself.

I rode forward with joyful anticipa- tions, yet not without some anxicty otien had I been deceived by such appearances.

This will consist of divers bequests of personal property, mostly in trust for legatees, relatives ef testatrix. Amon these are James Laidley Holman and a hrother. Robert Troison Hulman, of St. Ejeanors, Prince Edward [sland ; Amanda Holman and John Andrews, of Montreal, Canada, and others. The remainder of the estate is to be sold and proceeds di- vided, share and share alike, between Ade- line Stout, Emma Mason Merritt, Mrs. Mary Mason, Mrs. Julia Mason Norton, Ellis Mason, Amelia Mason, Mrs. Lucy Chase, Sarah Peterson, and Emeline Pet- erson Stocking.

The will of latest date bequeaths to tes- tatrix’ husband, James Haslam, all real and personal estate, aud he is cominated as executor. In the event of his death, ail the estate, with certain exceptions, is devised to Robert Tinson Holman, nephew of testatrix. The exceptions are—$1000 to be equally divided between the daugh- ters of Mary Knox Hammond, a sister of testatrix; $1000 between the daughters of another sister, Elizabeth Peterson, and $1000 between the daughters of Lydia Mason, deceased, another sister, and $300 to a niece, Adeline Stout. This will nomi- nates and appoints Robert Tinson Holman, as executor, and is witnessed by T. G. Jacques and Joseph O'Hare.
