I took the note. There was vo super-| scription, nor did I stay to look for one. My fingers trembled as I tore open the ‘seal, As my eye rested on the writing! and recognized it, my heart throbbed so |

as almost to choke my utterance. I mut- itered some directions to the messenger ; ,and to conceal my emotion from him, I |turned away and proceeded to the fur- | thest corner of the azotea before reading the note. I called back to the man to go ‘below, and wait for an answer; and, then relieved of his presence, I read as follows:

That there existed a white stallion of great speed and splendid proportions— ithat there were twenty, perhaps a hun dred such—am~ng the countless herds of wild horses that roam over the great plains, I did not for amoment doubt. I myself had seen and chased more than one that might have been termed “a magnificent animal,” and that no ordin- ary horse could overtake; but the one |kuown as ** the white steed of the prair- lies” had a peculiar marking, that dis- tinguished him from all the rest—his fears were black !—only his ears, and these were of the deep color of ebony,

The rest of his body, mane and tail, was white as fresh-fallen snow.

lt was to this singular ana mysterious animal that the letter pointed; it was the black-eared steed I was called upon to capture. The contents of the note were specific and plain. One expression alone puzzled me: ** You have made cap- tive what was once as wild and free.” What ? I asked myself. I scarce dared to give credence to the answer that leaped like an exulting echo from out my heart! There was a_ postcript, of course ; but this contained. only ‘* busi- ness.” It gave miinuter details as to when, how, and where the white horse had been seen, and stated that the bearer of the note—the vaquero who had seen him—would act as my guide. I pondered not long upon the strange request. Its fulfilment promised to recover me the position, which buat a moment before I had looked upon as lost for ever. I at once resolved upen the undertaking. ** Yes lovely Isolina! if horse and man can do it, ere ancther sun sets, you shall be mistress of the while steed of the prairies |” TO BE CONTINUED,

To the Editor of the Examiner. Sir,—Among the various subjects upon which your useful and industrious pen may be employed at this comparatively leisure season, there is none more important than the reduction of the fares on the Island Railroad. That such reduction would, in a short time, perhaps immediately, in- crease the income of the road, there can be but little doubt, if we look tu the result of every reluction which has bitherto been made on articles of general use or con sumption. Sir Charles Tupper,in his speech at Monctor, enumerated a variety of ar- ticles on which the charges by the Inter- colonial road had been reduced; why not apply the same results to the Island road ? Another improvement would be to affix a table of the rates at every sta‘ion—not that there is the s! giest reason to im- pute concealment or blame to any of the Station Agents; but if this were done, every person would ascertain whether it would be worth his while to carry goods either in large ov smilil quantities by the road. It would als. ve as well not to insist on the whole cars being taken, either for coal er other heavy commodity. Why -hould not the charge be made either by weight er bv the cubic foot, as in the steamers! A reduction in the passenger fares, return tickets for the second class, and season tickets are subjects for con- sideration, With these hints I leave the matter in your hands.

Yours, &.,

Senex.

It is really startling to learn that the construction of the railway from Lake Winnipeg to Hudsoa Bay by the ronte of the Nelson River Valley is to be under- taken next summer. Who this time ten years ago, and how fast they have sped away, could have imagined that such a work would be set aboat in earnest at so early a day. It is not, indeed, that the task is a difficult one, for it is otherwise, There are no great engineering diffienlties to be overcome in its accomplishment. The route explored is quite practicable. The cause ef astonishment lies in the fact of the early demand for the construction of such awork, But things are destined to move fast in the North West for a long time to come.
