| Torn and bleeding, he came on the} opposite side; aud I perceived, to my | satisfaction, that I had made better time ‘than the red rider before me; his halt ‘had lessened the distance between us. ‘But another field of milpas had to be passed, and he was again gaining upon me, as we galloped over the heavy grouud, When nearly through the field, I perceived something glancing before us: it was water—a wide drain or ditch, a zequia for irregating the field. Like the magueys, it ran transversely to our course.

“That will stop him,” theught I, *' he

must take to the right or left, and then >

My thoughts were interrupted. Instead of turning either to right or left, the Mexican headed his horse at the zequia, and the noble creature, rushing forward, rose like a bird upon the wing, and clear- ed the canal !

I had no time tospend in admiring the feat; I hastened to imitate it, and gal- loping forward, I set myself for the leap. My brave steed needed neither whip nor spur; he had seen the other leap the zequia, and he knew what was expected of him. With a boundyhe went over, clearing the drain by several feet; and then, as if resolved upon bringing the affair to an end, he laid his head for- ward, and stretched himself at race- course speed.

A broad grassy plaid—a savannah— lay before us, and the hoofs ef both horses, pursuer and pursued, new rang upon bard firm turf. The rest of the chase would have been a simple trial of speed, and I made sure of overhauling the mustang before he could reach the opposite side, when a new obstacle pre- sented itself. A vast herd of cattle and horses studded the savannah throughout its whole extent; these, startled by our wild gallop, tossed their heads and ran affrighted in every direction, but fre- quently as otherwise, directly in ‘our way. More than once,I was forced to rein in, to save my neck or my _ horse’s from being broken over a fierce bull or a long-horned lumbering ox ; and more than once I was compelled to swerve from my course.

What vexed me most was, that in this zigzag race, the mustang, from prac- |tice, perhaps, had the advantage; and while it continued, he increased his dis- tance. We cleared the drove at length ; but to my chagrin I perceived that we were nearly across the plain. As I glanced ahead, I saw the chap- peral near, with taller trees rising over it; beyond, I saw the swell of a hill, with white walls upou its sammit, It was the hacienda already mentioned : we were riding directly for it.

I was growiug anxious about the re- sult. Should the horseman reach the thicket, 1 would be almost certain to lose him. J dare not let hum escape. What would my men say, if I went back with- out him? I had hindered the sentry from firing, and permitted to escape, perhaps a epy, perhaps some important personage.

His desperate efforts to get off favored the supposition that re was one or the other. He must be taken!

Under the impulse of fresh determin~ ation, | lanced the flanks of my horse more deeply than ever; he knew what was wanted, and stretched himself to his utmost. There were vo more cattle, not an obstacle, and his superior speed soon lessened the distance between him- self and the musiang. Ten seconds more would do it.

The ten seconds flew by. I felt my- self within shooting distance; I drew my pistol from its holster.

** Alio ! o yo tiro” (Halt! orI fire), 1 cried aloud. There was no reply: the mustang kept on! “Halt!” I cried again, unwilling to take the life of a fellow-creature—* halt! or you are a dead man !”

No reply again.

There were not six yards between my- self and the Mexican. Riding straight behind him, I could have sent a bullet into his back. Some secret instinct re- strained me; it was partly, though not jaltogether, a feeling of admiration: there was an indefinable idea in my mind

; Season.

‘and both horse aud rider came to the

ground.

In an iostant the latter had disengaged himself from his struggling steed, and stood upon his feet. Fancying he might still attempt to escape to the thicket, I spurred forward, pistol in hand, and poiuted the weapon at his head.

He had no intention either of further flight or resistance; but facing the level- led tube, and looking me full im the face, he said with an air of perfect coolness ;

“ No matame,_ cavallero! Say muger!” (Do not kill me Sir! I am woman !)

CORRESPONDENCE,

We do not hold ourselves responeible for the epinions er siatements of owr correspo — ——————

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Srr,—I have already declined to adver- tise Mr. John Murdoch’s communistie doe- trines, and will not be tempted by his letter in your issue of the 25th inst., leav- ing it to your readers to say how I have got into a mess—unless it be that one can- not touch pitch and keep clean hands.

Mr. Murdoch’s “ simple story” is simply one of that class which it is said con- fidently may be told to the marines.

Permit me, however, to apologise to your readers for associating the respectable name of the late Lauchlan McLean with that of the editor of the ‘‘ unquhile” High. lander ; for poor Lauchie, if an enthusias- tic Highlander, was at least a straight- forward man. It has been publicly im- puted to Mr. John Murdoch that he is a paid agent of the Fenian Skirmishing branch of the Irish Land League ; and, so far as | am aware, he has neither manfully admitted nor openly repudiated the charge. But instead, he occupies half a column of the ExaMINeR with a farrago partly some- thing mueh akin to blasphemy, partly the quondam ‘ Editor,” I expect, knows an apprepriate Gelic word which is toler- ably expressive.

Calling names mostly injures only the caller. The ‘‘ Editor” is, therefore, wel- eome te parade his vituperative vocabulary, —no one expects a fig from a thistle. But, by such a patent bilking of the main issue, Canadian readers wili be irresistably reminded of the unsaveury defensive tac- ties commenly attributed to the squid and the skunk.

Let me dismiss this very disinterested Poor Man’s Friend with a couplet from an old song, not by Rob Donn, —

‘**Gae hame an’ hap y’ur Hielan’ boughs,

An’ fash nae mair wi’ me, Donal!”

C’aRson | About Raising Healthy Women.

When there isa lack of warm clothing there is alwaysa drain upon the energies which tends to break down when the victim has such a good constitution and such excellent health, as to be able to bear with impunity almost any neglect and exposure, I know of women who wear thin cotton stockings all winter, and who say that they do not need anything warmer in-docrs, but these are not healthy women, and I doubt if their supposed ‘‘feelings” correctly indi- cate the body’s needs. Those who dislike the feeling of wool in contact with the skin (and I think that this is much according to habit or use), can wear a thin pair of cotton stockings under woolen ones, which is better for warmth than two pairs of cotton stockins.

Nourishing food, pure air, plentiful sleep, and happy exercise, are al] essential to perfect health. Nutritious food is neccessary for good blood, and this cannot be pure, unless clean, fresh air be bounti- fully supplied. Growth and reyair cannot g° on properly without the entire rest of healthy, unforced sleep, and exercise of both body and brain is neccessary to the health and strength of each.—American Agriculturist for Deeember.

This is from the Moncton Times. It is well that the Sister Provinces recognize the fact that improved communication with Prince Edward Island would be an advan- tage to them as well as to the Island ; and, therefore, a matter of intercolonial import- ance !
