and entered a second prairie, I found}

myself mixing with the hindmest of the wild mares. Pretty creatures some of them were; and upon any other occa- sion, I should have been tempted to fling a lazo over one of them, which I might easily have dove. Then I only thought of getting them out of the way, as they were hindering my onward gallop. Be- fore we had quite crossed the second

prairie, I had forged isto the front rank, | and the mares, seeing | had headed, them, broke to the right and left, and} scattered away. All were now behind me, all but the white steed; he alone kept the course, at iutervals uttering the same shrill neigh, as if to tan- talize and lure me on. He was yet far in advance, aud apparently runuing at his ease |

| The borse | bestrode needed neither ‘spur nor guidance; he saw before him the object of the chase, and he divined the wiil of his rider. I felt him ‘rising under me like a sea-wave. His | hoofs struck the turf without impinging ‘upon it. At each fresh spring, he came ,up with elastic rebound, while the flanks heaved with the conscious possession of | power.

| Before the second prairie was crossed, ihe had gained considerably upon the | White steed ; but to my chagrin, I now

isaw the latter dash right into the thicket, I fouud a path, and followed. My ear

served io guide me, for the branches crackled as the wild horse broke througb. | Now and then I caught glimpses of his |white body, glancing among the green leaves.

Apprehensive of losing him, I rode

Often was | obliged to bend flat to the saddle, in order to pass under them, All this was in favor of the pursued, and against the | pursuer.

I longed for the open prairie, and jto my relief it at length appeared. ipot yet quite treeless, but studded with timber “islands.” Amid these the white

In ten minutes’ time, we had pasaed ‘through the timber isla: ds, and now the {prairie—the grand, limitless prairie— stretched before us, far beyond the reach of vision.

On goes the chase over its grassy level —on till the trees are no longer behind us, and the eye sees nought but the green isavannagh, and the blue canopy archiug over it—on, across the ceutre of that vast circle, which has for its boundary the whole horizon!

The rangers, lost in the mazes of the chapperal, have long since fallen off; the mustangs have gone back; on all that wide plain, but two objects appear—the snow-white form of the flying steed, and the dark horseman that follows !

It is a long wild ride, a cruel gallop for my matchless Moro. Teun miles of the prairie have we passed—more thay that—and as yet I have neither used whip nor spur. The brave steed needs no such prompting ; he, too, has his in- ‘terest in the chase—the ambition not to be outrun. My motive is different; I think only of the smiles of a woman ; but such motives ere now has led to the loss of a crown or the conquest of a world. On, Moro! on! you must overtake him or die!

There is no longer an obstacle. He cannot hide from us here. The plain. with its sward of short grass, is level and smooth as the sleeping ocean ; not an ob- ject intrudes upon the sight. He cannot couceal himself anywhere. There is sti!l an hour of sunlight; he cannot hid: from us in the darkuess; ere that comes down, he shall be our captive. On, Moro! on !

Ou we glideiu silence. The steed has ceased to utter his taunting teigh; he has lost confidence in his speed; he now runs in dread. Never before had he been so sorely pressed. He runs in silence, and so too, his pursuer. Not a

i

sound is heard but a sound of the gal- loping hoofs—an impressive silence, that betokens the earnestness of the chase. Less than two hundred yards separate us; I feel certain of victory. A touch of the spur would now bring Moro within

It was a wild drawn from me by no common cause. In arranging my lazo, I had takeu my eyes from the chase, only fora moment : I looked out again, the h peared /

With a mechanical movement I! drew bridle, almost wrenching my borse upon his haunches; indeed, the, animal had half halted of his own accord, and with a low whimper seemed to express terror. What could it mean ® Where was the wild horse ?

I wheeled round, and round again, scanning the prairie on every side— though a single glance might have cerv- ed. The plain, as already deseribed, was level asa table; the horizon bound- ed the view; there was neither rock nor tree, nor bush nor weeds, vor even loug grass. The sward was of the kind known upon the prairies as ‘* butfalo-grass” (Sesleria dactyloides), short when full grown, but then rising scarcely two inches above the soil. A serpent could hardly have found concealment under it, bat a horse Merciful heaven! where was the steed ?

An indefinable feeling of awe crept over me: I trembled; I felt my horse trembling between my thighs. He was covered with foam acd sweat; so was I —the effects of the hard ride: but the cold perspiration of terror was fast com- ing upon me. The mystery was heavy and appalling !
