THE WAR-TRAIL!

CHAPTER X. (Conrinvep).

‘“* Hold! Holingsworth! hold!” cried I, pressing my heel deeply into my horse's flanks, and dashing forward. | Though my steed sprang instantly to the spur, and as quickly I canght the lieutevant’s arm, J was too late tc arrest the shot. I spoiled his aim, however ; _and the bullet, instead of passing through’ the brain fof Rafael Ajurra, as it would certainly have done, glanced upon the mortar of the parapet, sending a cloud of lime-dust into his face. | Uptothat moment the Mexican had ‘Made no attempt to escape beyond the aim of his antagonist. Terror muat have glued him to the spot. It was only when the report of the rifle, and the blinding mortar broke the spell, that he was able to turn and fly. When the dust cleared away, his head was no long- er above the wail. | Iturned to my companion and ad- dressed him iv some warmth.

‘“ Lieutenant Holingsworth ! ” mand ”—

“Captain Warfield,” interrupted ihe in a tone of cold deter- /Mination, “you may command me ‘in all matters of duty, and I ,Shall obey you. This is a private affair ; and, by the Eternal, the general himself Bah! I lose time; the villain iwill escape!” and before I could seize (either himself or his bridle-rein, he shot (his horse past me and entered the gate- /way at a gallop.

I followed as quickly as-I could, and ireached the patio almost as soon as he; | but too late to hinder him from his pur- ipose. I grasped him by the arm, but with determined strength he wrenched | himself free—at the same instant gliding

I com-

out of hissaddle. Pistel in hand he ‘rushed up the escalera, his trailing scab- | bard clanking upon the stone steps as he ;went. He was soon out of my sight, behind the parapet of the azotea.

Flinging myself from the saddle I fol- jlowed as fast as my legs would carry jme. While on the stairway, I heard loud words and oaths above, the crash of falling objects,’and then two shots fol- \lowing quick and fast apon each other. I heard screaming in a woman’s voice, and a groan—the last uttered by a man. Oue of them is dead or dying, thought I.

On reaching the azotea—which I did in a few seconds of time—I found per- fect sileuce there. I saw no one, male or female, living or dead! True, the place was like a garden, with plants, shrubs, and even trees, growing in gigan- tic pots, I could not view it all at euce. They might still be there behind the screen of leaves?

I ran to and fro over the whole reof ; I saw flower-pots freshly broken. It was the crash of them I had heard coming up. I saw no men, neither Holings- worth nor Ijurra! They could not be standing up, or I should have seen them. ‘‘ Perhaps they are down among the pots—both. There were two shots. Perhaps both are down—dead! ”

But where was she who screamed? Was it Isolina?

Half distracted, I rushed to another part of the roof. I saw a small escalera —a private stair—that led into the in- terior of the house. Ha! they must have gone down by it? she who screamed must have gone that way?

For a moment, I hesitated to follow ; but it was no time to standon upon etiquette, and I was preparing to plunge down the stairway, when I heard shout- ing outside the walls, and then another shot from a pistol.

I turned, and stepped hastily across the azotea in the direction ot the sounds. I looked over the parapet. Down the slope of the hill two men were running at the top of their speed, one after the other. The hiudmost held in his hand a drawn sabre. It was Holingsworth still in pursuit of Ijurre.!

The latter appeared to be gaining on his vengeful pursuer, who, burdened with his accoutrements, ran heavily, The Mexican was evidently making for the woods that began at the bottom of the hill; and in a few seconds more he had entered the timber, aud passed out of sight. Like a hound apen the trail, Holingsworth followed, and disappeared from my view at the same spot.

Hoping I might still be able to pre- vent the spilliag of blood, 1 descended hastily from the azotea, mounted my horse, and galloped down the hill. I reached the edge of the woods where they had gone ia, and followed some dis- tance upon their trail; but I lost it at length, and came toa halt. I remained for some minutes listening for voices, or, what I more expected to hear the report of apistol. Neither sound reaehed me. I heard only the shouts of the vaqueros on the other side of the hill; and this reminding me of my duty, I turred my horse, and rode back to the hacienda,

There, everything was silent: not a face was to be seen. The inmates of the house had hidden themselves in rooms, barred up aud dark; even the damsels of the kitchen had disappeared, thinking uo doubt, that an attack would be made

jupon the premises, and that spoilation and plunder were intended.

I wes puzzled how to act. Hollings- worth’s strange coudnet had disarranged my ideas. I should have demanded admission, and explained the occurrence to Don Ramon; but I had no explan- ation to give: I rather needed one for myself ; and under a painful feeling of snspense as to *‘z result, I rode off from ihe place.

Half-a-dozen rangers were left upou the ground, with orders to await the return of Holingsworth, and then gallop after us; while the remainder of the troop, with Wheatley and myself in ad- vance of the vast drove, took the route for the American camp.

TO BE CONTINUED, Semething Like a Ride.

By and-by a noble animal passed us, The gentleman who was driving leok- jed, as he passed, around at the captain. | | noticed that the captain nedded, and |that he took a little firmer grip ef the reins. The gentleman slowed up a little, sufficient te let us pase.

“Try it, Cap.,” he shouted.

The captain nodded.

I saw that the mare lifted her head a little as the grip en the reins tight- ened, and put some little animation in- to her feet. By-and-by we heard the clatter of hoefs back of us. I looked areund and saw that the gentleman was coming ata splendid pace.

‘See if he passes us,” said the cap- tain, asd he made one little ehirrup to the mare.

The mare lifted her head. Her ears ne longer hung limp. They were erect and tossed back te catch the seund of these approaching heofs. She was all on fire, all animation, all electricity.

“ Leok out fer your hat, Beck,” said the captain, and I pulled it down ever my ears. I glanced quickly at the caps tain. Heheld the reins firmly, and his eyes were fixed ahead. We were plunged ahead on a whirlwind, I grabbed the seat firmly with beth hands, and I pressed my feet against the dashboard. The wind meaned in my ears, although we made the breeze ourselves. I could hardly breathe. I could not see, except away head, I knew wewere passing team after team, and [ heard the people cheer. I shut my eyes. I thought the erash would come. I could have begged the cap- tain to step, if the speed had been so great that speech was impo ae | said to myself, James Beck, your day has ceme. Whew-w-w-w! We were flying over the read, horse and riders. I opened my eyes once aad saw some men away ahead waving their hats. In an instant we had reached and pas- sed them, and, as we went by, the three men seemed mingled into one. When will this end ? i wendered. It seemed as theugh we had been riding an, when the speed slackened, slower and slower, and at last the mare stepped. I open- my eyes and saw that were standing ai a readside inn.

“Are we threugh, Captain?’ I asked, “Yos,” he said langhing; let's take a little Santa Cruz.”—-New York Sun.

The Zribune’s Londen cable says:-- Prince Leopold’s betrethal to the Prin- cess Helene of Waldeck causes surprise, as there were whispers of his intention to marry in the British peerage. The entourage of the Court were aware that he had gene to the Continent to select a bride. The general public haye re- garded his health as a bar te matrimeny. He suffers frequent attacks of hemer. rage from pours throngh defects of bis system. Hisintellectual taste, culture and geniality, makehim popular. The public are glad to regard his steps as a sign of improving healih, and ino this case prefer that he should marry a princess rather than a British subject: lf the prince married a commoner, as her husband he would be compelled to show publicaly his wife's inferiority on all occasions ef preehdence. The ra- dieal press is preparing for the usual attack on the expected Parliamentary grant.

<o- o— —_ --— OYSTERS AND THRIR SPAWNING,— Science has demonstrated that oysters can be se managed that their spawning seasens can be regulated, and thus good oysters be had and eaten every week in the year. This is arranged in the Con- necticut waters by planting them in different depths of water. This secures variety in temperature. The greater the heat the earlier the oysters will spawn. Therefore by moving them into shoal water in a sheltered place where the sun will warm the water easily, the spawning seasen will be ever in early summer. Those in the deeper acd colder will, of course, feel the heat later, and therefore spawn later, Thus one portion of the oyster supply ean be always ready for use. The firat result of the death of Capt. Brown, of the man-of-war London, who was killed by the Arab crew of a slave dhow, which he was attacking, is that the man-of- war Philomel has been ordered to blockade Pemba Island, East Africa, near which the afiray occurred.
