THE WAR: TRAIL!

CHAPTER XVIII.

THE PHANTOM HOBSE.

{ have encountered dangers—not a few—but they were the ordinary perils of flocd and field, and I understood them. I have had one limb broken, aud its fellow bored with an ounce of lead. I have swam from a sinking ship, aud have fallen upon the battle-field. looked at the muzzles of a hund muskets aimed at my person, at less hig

thirty yards’ distance, and felt the cer- |

tainty of death; though the volley was, fired, aud I still live. W ell, you will, | no doubt, acknowledge these to be perils. Do not mistake me; | am not boasting of having encountered them; I met them with more or less courage—some of th: ma with fear; but if the fears inspired by all were combined into one emotion of terror, it would not equal in intensity

that which I experienced at the moment |

I pulled up my horse upon the prairie.

I have never been given to supersti tion ; perhaps my religion i is not strong enough for that; but at that moment I could not help yielding to a full belief in the supernatural. There was no natural , cause—I could think of none — that would account for the mysterions dis- | appearance of the horse, sneered at the credulous sailor and his| phantom ship: had [I

a phantom horse ! The hunters and trappers had, indeed, invested the white steed with this charac-|

ter ; their stories recurred to my memory |

at the moment. I had used to smile at! the simple credulity of the narrators. I, was uow prepared to believe them. They were true!

Or was I dreaming? Was it not all a! dream? he search tor the white steed | —the surround—the chase—the long, | long gallop?

For some momeats I actually fancied that such might be the case ; but soon my consciousness became clear again ; I was in the saddle. and my panting, smoking | steed was under. and positive. I remembered all tt the in- cidents of the chase. They, too, were real, of a certainty ; the white steed had been there: he was gone. The trappers spoke the truth. The horse was a phantom !

Oppressed with this thought, which had almest become a conviction, I sat in| my saddle, bent and silent, my eyes turned | upon the earth, but their gaze fixed upon | vacuity. The lazo had. dropped from | my fingers, and the bridle reins trailed untouched over the withers of my horse.

My belief in the supernatural was of short duration; how loug I know uot, for, during its coutinuance, I remained in a state of bewilderment. My senses at length returned. My eyes had tallen upon a fresh boof-print on the turf, di- rectly in front of me. I knew it was that made by the white steed, and this awoke meto a process of reasoning. Had the horse been a phantom, he would not have made atrack? I had never heard of the track of a ghost; though a horse-ghost might be different from the common kind!

My reflections on this head ended in}

the determination to follow the trail as far as it led; of course to the point where the steed must have mounted into | the air, or evaporated—the scene of his apotheosis.

With this resolve, I gathered my reins, and rode forward upon the trail, keeping | my eyes fixed upon the hoof-prints. The| line was direct, and I had ridden nearly two hundred yards, when my horse came | to a sudden stop. I looked out forward. to discover the cause of his halting ; with

' that glance,vanished my new-boru super-

stitions.

Ata distance of some thirty paces, a

dark line was seen upon the prairie, run-!

ning transversely to the course, I was following. Is appeared to be a narrow crack in the plain; but on spurring near-

er. it provel to be a fissure of consider- . } '

able width—-one of these formations known throughout Spanish America as barrancas. Theearth yawned, as though reut by an earthquake; but water had evideatly something to do with its form-

ation, It was of nearly equal width at top and bottom, and its bed was: covered with a debris of rocks.

rounded by attrition. Its sides were perfectly vertica’, and the stratification, even to the surface-turf exactly corres ponded—-thus rendering it invis’ble at the distavce of but a few paces from its brink. It appeared to shallow to the right, and no doubt ended not far aff in that direction. ‘Towards the left, on the contrary, I could see it became deeper and wider. At the point where I had reached it, its bottom was near ly twenty feet from the surface of the prairie.

Of course the disappearance of the white steed was uo longer a mystery He bad made a fearful leap—nearly twenty feet sheer! There was the torn iurfon the bink of the chasm, and the

displacemeut of the loose nett where

he hed bounded into its bed. He had
