THE WAR-TRALL!

Continued. CHAPTER IV.

MAKING A CAPTIVE.

I was musing upon the singular cha- racter of this triangular war, when my reverie was disturbed by the hoof-strokes of aherse. The sounds came from a distance, outside the village; the strokes were those of a horse at full gallop.

I stepped hastily across the azotea,

and looked over the parapet, in hopes of obtaining a view of this rapid rider. I was not disappointed—the road and the rider came full under my eyes. In the latter, I beheld a picturesque object. He appeared to be a very young man—a mere youth, without beard or moustache, but of singularly handsome features. The complexion was dark, almost brown; but even at the distance of two hundred yards I could perceive the flash of a noble eye, aud note a damask reduess upon his cheeks. His shoulders were covered with a scar- let manga, that draped backward over the hips of his horse ; and upon his head he wore a light sombrero, laced, banded, and tasselled with bullion of gold. The horse was a small, but finely propor- tioned mustang, spotted like a jaguar upon aground celor of cream—a true Andalusian.

The horseman was advancing at a gallop, without fear of the ground before him: by chance his eyes were raised to the level of the azotea, on which I stood ; my uniform, and the sparkle of my accoutrements, caught his glauce; and quick as thought, as if by an involuntary movement, he reined up his mustang, until its ample tail lay clustered upon the dust of the road. It was then that I noted the singular appearance of both horse and rider.

Just at that moment, the ranger, who held picket on that side of the village, sprang forth from his hiding-place, and challenged the horseman to halt. The challenge was unheeded. Another jerk of the rein spun the mustang round, as upon a pivot, and the vext instant, im- pelled by the spur, the animal resumed his gallop. He did not return by the road, but shet off in a new direction, nearly at right angles to his former course. A rifle-bullet would have follow- ed, and most likely have stopped the career of either horse or rider, had not I, just in the nick of time, shouted to the sentry to hold his fire.

A reflection had occurred to me: the game was too noble, too beautiful, te be butchered by a bullet; it was worth a chase and a capture.

My horse was ty the water trough. I had noticed that he was not yet unsad- dled, and the bridle was still on. He had been warmed by the morniag’s scout; and I had ordered my negro greom to walk him round for an hour er so before letting him at the water.

I did not wait to descend by the escalera; I sprang upon the parapet, and from that into the plazza. The groom, perceiving my intention, met me half-way with the horse. I seized the reins, and bounded into the saddle. Several of the readiest of the rangers followed my example; and as I galloped down the lane that led out of the rancheria, I could tell by the clattering of hoofs that half a dozen of them were at my heels. I cared not much for that, for surely I was a match for the stripling we meant to chase. I knew, moreover, that speed at the moment was of more importance than strength; and that if the spotted horse possessed as much ‘‘bottom” as he evidently did ‘‘heels,” his rider and I would have it to ourselves in the end. I knew that all the horses of my troop were less swift than my own; and from the half-dozea springs I had witnessed on the part of the mustang, I felt satis- fied that it remained only for me to over- haul him.

My springing dowr from the roof and up into the saddle had occupied scarcely two minutes time; and in two more, I had cleared the houses, and was scour- ing accross the fields after the scarlet horseman. He was evidently making to get round the village, and continue the journey our presence aad so suddenly interrupted.

The chase led through a field of milpas (maize). My horse sank deeply in the loose earth, while the lighter mus. tang bounded over it like a hare; he was distancing me. I began to fear I would lose him, when all at once I saw that his course was intercepted by a list of magueys running traversely right and left. Tho plants were of luxuriant growth, eight or ten feet high, and placed alternately, so that their huge hooked blades interlocked with each other, forming a natural chevaur-de-frise.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Siz,—In the Patriot of the 9th Nov. I see that ‘‘A Mechanic” has again been dishing ont his ‘‘ rot,” and, with the per- sistency of a fiend, endeavoring by repeti- tion to substantiate hie groundless asser- tions. He characterizes my letter of the 28th October as being written over an il- lustrious name; from this I would infer that the reason which can only be assigned for him appearing over an anonymous signature is to use that signature as a mantle to conceal his real one, coupled as it is, wherever he is known, with mean- ness, misrepresentation and slander. ‘‘A Mechanic” states that the C. P. Works is his authority for stating that my tender for the construction of Brudeneil Wharf was $360 ; and consequently he is gullible enough to consider that sufficient evidence of the amount of my tender. But ‘* Mechanic” must bear in mind that it is not the ‘‘bounden duty” of the OC. P. Works to enlighten every contemptible, sneaking subterfuge who may go to him eecking intelligence, fired with an intense desire of prying into every persons business. In answer te his a charge I would ask him when did Mr. Ferguson, our ex- C. P. Works rise so high in his estimation as to be considered an authority on matters of this kind! Of a truth the human mind is very susceptible ef a ehange, and I weuld not be much surprised to find ‘* Mechanic” renouncing all authority in such matters and bowing down in profound adoration in the contemplation of his ewn vain glerious perfections. In regard to his third charge I would ask ‘* Mechanic” at what time was I cunfronted by himself and other inspector for violating the contract. Would it not be only a simpleton who would imagine that the assertions of a contractor or any one else would affect an inspector whilst he had the plans and peers to guide him in the discharge of his duties ; and further I may state that’ positively deny having made any assertion as to « private understanding with the Commissioner of Public Work, mere than what was embodied in the plans and specifications of said contract. In preferring those charges, which I have denied in my previous letter, *‘A Mechanic” lays aside his jocular mood, and becemes solemn ; and, whilst he persists in repeat- ing them, he assumes a marked degree of earnestness. Nothing can wore clearly illustrate his conduct in this respect than the old erb: ‘‘There is no humor ual to the solemnity of the ass, no satire like the dead earnestness of adunce.” In regard to his charge of my neglect of Mon- tague Bridge, I have only to state that on the first day of June last, I brought the Commissiener of Public Works in person te see the Bridge, and pointed out to him the defects in the eoveriig, etc., and. subse- quently informed him by letter, amongst other things, ‘‘ that the state of Montague Bridge demanded his immediate attention.” So that however unqualified I am in the opinion of ‘‘ A Mechanic” to dis- charge the duties of my _ position I leave a discerning public to judge in the matter. ‘‘ Mechanic” says that had the contract of rebuilding Brudenell Wharf legally fallen to his lot, it would have been completed long ago, and that it would have been a credit to its builder. I must con- feas that I am very sorry that he has not had the opportunity ef performing any- thing reflecting credit on him. But let him not be discouraged, but persevere, for we are told that— ‘* Great men, dying, leave behind them Footprints on the sands of time.” His effort need not be great, as the same hope ean animate his breast as did the man that married the woman of ill-fame. What- ever change will come, must, of a necessity, be for the better. No doubt, he thought he had suddenly become witty when he tells me to consult a phrenologist in order to find out my natural calling. I suppese that one who is so ready to give advice is equally ready te take it. Therefore, in the spirit of good- fellowship, I would caution him, before consulting a phrenologist in order to ascer- tain his natural calling, te make sure in the first place that Nature had ever any- thing to de with him. This modest and unassuming genius de- clares that he can wear, theoretically and practically, the name over which he writes. I have no doubt that, in his own bottom- less coneeit, he looks down with abject contempt on the names of those men who projected the Mount Cenis Tunnel and spanned the Niagara River with an iron suspension bridge. These opportunities, it must be confessed, have not been eo great, and that alone can acceunt fer those distinguished men having far out-stripped him on the road to fame. But had he secured the contract of a brush wharf on Brudenell River, I have every reason to believe that it might be said of him— ‘« Be left a name at which the world grew

ge

e To point a moral or adorn a tale.”

But the public will not be satisfied with the rain and empty boastings of ‘* Mechan- ie,” but will require mere tangible proof whether his qualifications are real or whether they are merely the vaporings of a deceased imagination, based on ignor- ance.

Hoping that I may be again honored with the attention of this self constituted theoritical and practical genius, in order that | may endeavor to show the public the desirability of rising him from private obscurity te a position of emolment and high public trust.
