Odoncf Burton was by no means the only frU-ad who tried to dissuade me from my project, be, my word was pledjed, my minl mado up and it only remained to complete the preparations for my hurried and perilous journey. This was how matters toxl with me. I, Harry I.yndham, one of the many whom t he hops of prowinp rich had drawn to the far Wet of America, was then a resident of Tuoaon City and a clerk in the employment of Curtis Krothers. Mine were noedentarr duties, and I was more often in theafdle than at the dek; for Messrs. Curtis were "pecula tor and general jobbers, dealing in niii', anl wine, and hides; in tobacco. nui-k-ilTer, runrMwler, anl "no tions;" and, aUive all, in cattle, the gr-at utaple -f the far Southwest. It was not for hire alone that I toilet! as I did. My exeat stimulus was that I was in love with pretty, harming Iloxap.ioad (Iray, t!ie daughter of old Mr. (Ira, the iiank'r at Lhri-tobal. a town lyir to the e.i.-tward of the Mimbres, and f iruous .-is a market for the agricultural product of the vat tlitrict bordering on M''n o.

I'.ut neith'-r her mother ii r I ran iik ti'n an iinronditioual 1 n1 : i:.et.t." I w;n in h"pt that I luiht take Mr

(ray advi'-e, and by prowinp rich, or at least by acouirinj; a compt tcuee, win KonamonU' hand, the prize that I valued above all earthly considerations ; and such is the rapidity with which, iu those argentiferous region foi tunes are sometimes amasse , that I was nt without warrant for aspirations which in Kurope would jn-rhap have iHnn d futile. And now to explain the present position of the ".m and the reasons ftr my undertaking a jonrnev fraught, according to the rugged old militia colonel' dictum, with almost certain disaster. Curtis Itrothers, w ho, by a long courso of judicious operations, bad raised tlietuelve from poverty toatlluence, had at that time on hand a speculation of unusual imNrtanie. They had made, chiefly in Texas, very large purchases of horned cattle, the-p and swine, destined to feed the swarming population of the sterile mining district, w here proviions. and meat in esecial, command high prices, 'lhe invctment seemed the more likely to 1m protiuble, hince the twin plague of New Mexico, drought and locust, had occasioned a notable mortality among the cattle of Arizona and the adjoining Territories, ami great pecuniary returns were anticipated. All these calculations seemed likely to be upet by the sudden outbreak of that smouldering Indian war which never quite come to an end in that dangerous region. The Apaches, the irreclaimable foes of all white men, were on the war-path, leagued, as was reported, with sundry ther trilws the

kiowas, the Navajoes and the dreaded Comanche ; and already hideous tales of Indian cruelty and masacre le c ied us from many a lonely honuMcad within reach of the spoiler. Yet the daywas at hand when the great herds ti" oxen and droves of sw ine already purchased would be waiting at Cristobal for the completion of the bargain, and my employers were well aware that unless the cattle could lo paid for a fatal blow would be dealt to the credit of the firm. Messrs. Curtis had strained t cery nerve to collect the ready-money necesry , uud the fund. were forthcoming, but the entire scheme bade fair to be frutrated by the abrupt closing of the route, eonseiuent on the war. No man or party of armed men could have been bribed t attempt the conveyance of the cash acros the plain, now haunted by the savage 'enemy , when I atonihed my employers by volunteering to be the messenger. You shall not have to repent it. Harry, my ly!" said the elder of the two brothers, as he wrunp my hand in his horny one; "vou've txd manfully by us at this pinch, and we'd le mean enough if we didn't show gratitude a little more substantially than by a fewfair words. We never yet did rai-c a clerk to be a partner, but There, there, Lyodham : I did not intend to egg you on by an offer, as if you needed that," hastily added the holiest old fellow, fearing, as he saw- the cvlor rise to my face, that I had taken umbrage at his rouirh sneech. "Come safe bavk to us, lad, and all will be right." Mr. James Curtis spoke words to much the same effect, at the same time bidding me ke careful, and indeed it was curioiu to watch the struggle inmv employers' mind Iwtween their natural eagerness to escajie a financial wreck that almost amounted to ruin, and the kindly apprehension lest I should lose my life in their service. As for myself, I knew well enough how great was the rik I ran, and lor bow momentous a stake I was about to play, and had not the goal before my mental yion been the bright prospect of calling Ilosamond my w ife, even the (rospective partnership would hardly lare tempted me to set ofTon an errand so perilous. As it was, I was resolved; and as I got ready for the start I tried quietly to weigh the chances for and against my safely reaching Cri-tobal. I had a fair knowledge of the country, which I had traversed on fur or five occasions, and was no novice in camp ing out, or in the familiar incidents of prairie travel. I could ride well, t4o, and was better mounted than most of the residents in that district, where horse-flesh is cheap and plentiful, having in my possession a "plendid chestnut thoroiigh-bred, originally brought from Kentucky by some I'nited States officer, and which was celebrated for strength and speed. I was fond of Sunbeam, and he of me, for he was docile and intelligent as well as swift, and would follow me for miles as a dog follows his owner, or stand, when I bade him, with the reins hanging loose, upon his glossy neck. There was scanty time for leave taking. It was deep in the afternoon when I started, a dozen or more of the younger citizens of Tucson ritling with me for the first half-hour, and giving me a hearty cheer ns we parted. More than one strong right hand trembled a little as it graped mine in token of ali'i, ;nd there was annnwontvd nioi-ture glistening in the honeit eyes of some of the kind-heartesl young fellows as they wished me frod speed and a safe return." Well do I remember wheeling my steed r,u a little elevation in th.j rolling, flower-enameled prairie, and waving mv hat in anwer to the waving of hats and handkerchiefs from the little 1 knot of horsemen, not ono of whom, I j am sure, everexpecten to see me again on this side of the grave. Far away to the left there e!ini!i-.er d i against the sky omething iike a shining wall, imperfectly visible, but which j I Vnevv to be the serrated cre-ts and j mountain peaks of the Mimhrc, thei natural fastnesses where dwelt th; bar-' barian tribes whoe torch and toma-: hawk hid laid waste many a hippy home. Nor were mementoes of their

hostility lacking as I traversed the I track, deeply seamed by wagon wheel' and strewed with the bleached bones of ! mule and oxen, that did duty for h I road. Might or tune times thcre'loouiitl j In-. irt mo n rnilo wihiden cross, toi i
