PEOPLE.

FOR THE

The Lone Cabin.

I had ridden lwrd and fast, and wja astonished to find myself coming iato a straggling settlement* On the course whicn I should have taken there was nothing of the sort. Somewhere I had crossed the right tra.il and taken th© wrong one. Almost any traveler in the border sections would bav* been glad to thus stumble upon a place for ftwxt and refreshment. Not HO with myself. In the breast pocket of inv coat I carried live thousand, four hundred and ninety odd dollars, United States money. I had received this amount from Major General T. M. Lacy, an* it was to be carried through to Fort .and placed in the hands of Colonel Asu F. Southard, to defray necessary army expenses. "Get through at your best gait, Carnea," said the nuy«*, "the money is long since over due, and Southard's rather irascible temper must have been tried to tho utmost. "You know how the sokliers get lo growling it Uncle is at all delinquent in paying up. Hide in a careless manner, but lie careful. I don't think that unyono dreams of the arrival of this money—save, of course, the mail agent and the clerk who delivered me tno packages."

I was directed over an unfamiliar section, hence my l«»sing of tho right route, 1 considered it my safest plan, so long as I had blundered upon the verge of the settlement, to boldly enter and rest as an ordinary traveler would do. Should I push hurriedly on, I might, by that very act, excite suspicion.

There were only two men in the barroom when I entered the landlord and the hostler. Under his familiar cordiality the landlord furtively eyed me in a manner'that made mo wish I was well done with my job, but I reassured myself with tho thought that it was the consciousness of the responsibility reposing upon me that caused his glances to disturb me. Before I had lmished my supper two more travelers rode up, called out for the hostler, and ordered drinks, or rather one of them came in with tho orders, and the other threw himsolf down on a bench outsido and began loading a huge pipe. Strolling carelesslv about the room, I managed to glance out of the window. My heart leaped into my throat, for in the man outside—I recognized—ironi description of him—Ilill Wolf—one of the most desperato characters that ever figured in the annals of border ruffianism. There was tho huge red moustache, the thick, hairy throat, and tho shoulders hunched up around his head, suggesting the shapo of a mammoth clam—and the voice with a deep down intonation like tho plop, plop, plop of water hurriedly leaving a jug. If tho description of the notorious renegade is iuelegaut, it has tho merit of truthfulness, and must, therefore, be excused.

I went through with my supper in form, but whatever apietite I might have felt on my entrance into the inn, had vanished with my discovory. After a time the other fellow camo in, having been out, ho said, to look after tho animals, and they also ordered supper. Now was my time to leave, which I did in a cureless manner, passing sotno common pi.ico remarks with tho two men as 1 crossed the dim, smoky bar-room. As they seemed to take no notice of me, whatevor, I felt my spirits rise with hope that I should mako a safb transit. It was quite duskish outside, but tho hostler was Hitting about tho stable with his lantern, which omitted but a little more etVulgent light than a white bean would have done, but he graciously brought out my steed at tho order, and, mounting, I thankfully trotted away. Tho moon—a little passed the fullwould make her debut in something more than an hour after sunset, and I pushed along at a smart trot so as to get well out upon tho plains and into the right trail before that time. Tho animal went along at an assuring gait, and I was feeling intinitoly relieved at my providontial escape from contact with the desperate characters whom I had left at the settlement, when my acute, trained, ever alert ears detected the wound of swift riding. In which direction? From bohind me, as the mildly floating breozo blow from that quarter. Tho face of the prairio in this section was a little rolling, but not so as to afford any shelter,and not a shrub or bush dotted the expanso for miles.

I drew up my horso one moinont to listen. No chance travelers evorrode like that. It meant pursuit.

I gave my stood a galling lash and she broke Into a convulsive gait, hove her body up with ono or two plunges, stumbled, going down from her knees to her nose, and pitched mo literally heels over head. For an instant I was paralv/.cd with astonishment, tho next 1 seized tho bit to fetch up the fallen animal, which had In the brief mishap undergone a strange metamorphosis. Sho had lost her white face on or In tho

flor

jrass, and, passing my hand botween eyes, I fouud the hair was wet. In an instant I was examining the white legs—my horso had been peculiarly marked with white legs aud face—and I found these sticky with whitewash. What then Simply, my trappings had been transferred to another antmaT, gotten up to exaotlv represeot miwo in the evening. This discovery brought an appalling Interpretation of the oncoming horsemen. I gave the horse tho whip as soon as his unstablo logs were well under him, ami sent Elm seourlng on ahead, while I ran off to the right, making fbr a little hollow near a shallow, dry ravine. Hero to my profound astonishment I discovered alone eabtn, or hut, about tho dimensions of au ordinary eonntry log-house, and impulsively dashing up to this, I gave a rapid succession or knocks. A shrinking, pale and cowering woman opened it.

What is It?" was her first question, noticing my breathless haste! Had I stopped for a moment's reflection upon the strangely isolated position of the cabin, I should have pushed in by her with the explanation

Is thoro any chance to hide hero my horso lifs thfoim me iad I believe a partf of dps me."

inroTrn DIP «BU I sgerndoos are dose up with

I noticed that the moon was mining up dry and red in the east, wjien she mechanically closet! the door bohind me, lxfore I* had finished my explanation.

No, no there is \\q place," she g*»p* od, her quick ear now catching the sound of the coming horsemen. "This is all the room there is—and there's neither cellar nor attic." ....

Rutthtot** I exelalmedfnrashlrtg tor a dark object in the corner. •N It's acofBc," washer quick response '"but there's no other chance—they are turning up to tho door—get in."

I had barely timo to place myself in this receptacle fbr the dead, when* hoarse voice—ono that I knew by description which I had had of it, called out

Here you Dick." The woman threw her apron over her hoad and opened the door.

Where's Dick "He hasn't come back jtt," returned tho woman. "Oh, he ain't—Jen, hev yerhurda horse go by to-night?"

Yes, oniy a little while ago—a small man? Yes—driving like tho devil.' guess," she said, and then paused, "you can hear the horse now," feigning

But Bill Wolf must liavebocn of a suspicious nature, I heard him

le*p from

his horse and strike with a jarring jrtun* upon the sod. A smouldering fire was burning on ths stono hearth. oould imagine Dili's attitude—he had ft hand on each door-casing, his brutal head was thrust inside the toom: he was peering about the apartment.

What in is that?" he questioned and my heart stood still, lor I know he spoke of mv retreat.

It's Stauffer's colli n. Dick is agoing to carrv it over to-night."

Stuff!" ejaculated the desperado, as ho made his bed, so let him lay-—buz-zards are tho sextons for the likes him."

Tho woman sort of groaned, and tlun I heard Wolf go up and joggle the rain barrel at tho corner of tho cabin, and finally go away with tho remark:

He ain't far oft* ho couldn't stick to that blind critter when he begun to hurry." "What shall I do? what shall I do?" gasped the woman "they will be back »n twenty minutes, for I believe that your horse is in sight, not more than three-quarters of a mile off, and my husband is liable to come at any moment."

Dut with him inside the house we might "With Ann./" she emphasized it in despairing tones—"he's Dill Wolf's brother."

I was out of tho coffin in a trice then, you may well believe. It is death for you any way," sho moaned, "for I hear the rattle of Dick's axles already." "Stay, there's tho rain barrel," said I, in desperation, "they've tried that once, they may not again."

And before you would be able to speak a sentence, tho water was dashed out of the cask and stealing down into tho arid soil, and I was in tho barrel, and the woman dropping a tub half filled with water in at the top as a cover.

She had barely time to enter the house, the door of which, fortunately, opened OH the side away from the moon, when a rattling vehicle drew up at the door, and I heard a hoarse voice raving and swearing at the woman for something done, or undone, and then from the bunghole, tho plug having been dislodged in tho upsetting of tho cask, I saw the furious return of the three ren-

There was a good deal of loud talking and explanations, and oaths, and stirring up of hot nectar, and rough remarks about the cistern in the corner but Dick and the woman both seemed sore about that matter, and the man peremptorily refused to join the hunt becauso of tnecollin.

Well, you're going our way a piece," said Wolf, "likely enough you'll have tho fun of seeing us wing tho turkey."

The conversation was distressingly personal, made acutely so by Dick asking:

Is there water enough out there, Jon, to drink my horse I'll see," she returned, moving slowlv over the door-sill, and then leaping to the cask she lifted out the tub and tipped niy prison ovor a little so that I could spring out. I was behind the cask when Dick carao to the door, and Chirruped his beast up 'he tub to drink.

I'll go with you as far as tho forks," ho said, as two of them came out with the coffin and slid it into the body of tho wagon. They then stepped back, probably to call the others.

At that moment a wild and desperate plan entered my brain, but feeling for my knife I found that it was missing, along with the belt to which it was attached. In the sudden justle which the falling steed had given me, the girdle had been snapped and lost without my knowledge. Tho horses of the three renegades—my own, which had been retained by tho hostler at tho inn, amnng thorn—were hitched on tho farther aid1* "of tho do«r where tho moonlight. striking by tho end of the cabin, rested fully upon them. It was suicide to attempt seizing one of them but as tho woman with some purpose in her mind sang out to the men to come back and get Iho last dipper full of liquor which she had mixed, I seized tho only

rnative. I sprang lightly in on, lifted tho coffin lid, and again crawled into tho long, narrow prison

wag

There was no choice. Tho flood of moonlight had swept so far towards my hiding place that only a part of ray body was concealed by the barrel, and I knew that discovory was inevitable, for the man's horso stood in such a position that in order to recover the reins he tmist have trodden upon me and there Wits no earthly thing as far as the eyo could roach ovor tho plain, behind which a man could hide. Ah, but what if he should re-adjust his freight Can vou think how my heart pumped away at the thought. Vou wonder what my jlan could be I had none, other than the hope of having only one man to deal with, if he went on his way a# he calculated. The three ruffians were mountMi and all were about to start, when the woman ran out with some sort of a blanket and muttered something about covering the ooffln. The man yelled out to her to mind her business and let the thing a! ono.

Sho retreated with the cloth, but she had aocompliabod her purpose. In its folds she had eonccaled a bowio knife under its eovsr she had rafced the lid and dropped tho weapon inside, risking riving me a cut an it fell upon me but in the momentary noise and confusion I had got the weapon in my hand, and with its point raised the heavy lid of the rough box the fraction of an inch so that breathing was easy if my position was cramped.

Tho three horsemen spread out, remarking to each other: "Beat up the game now speedily before, bv any miracle, he gets iiHo th# wooded belt by Duford's Spring*."

They contlnttedlo Ml loo «tt each other for some time their liberal potations sarin on ting their discretion.

Diok," they ©ailed back as they were «Wring ofi, "a cool twelve hundred a plec*: throw ont yoxir oM and join the bunt."

The driver mumbled somtthing, but tho whisky had thickened trts speech so that it was unintelligible to me.

Il he did attempt to mov# the coffin, I was lost. They kept withiu hailing distance for tho length of some three or more miles, Diok smashing the heavy wagon along at a stunning gait and I expected every moment that my shell would be jostled ont.

Bv and bv, there was a shout off to the right a "tally ho" as if the huntsmen had sighted the quarry. Nothing but an unwarrantable amount of lienor oould have influenced them to conduct themselves as they did, for no sooner had they called out from the rtaht, than Dick oamo to a sudden halt, leaped from the seat, and ran off towards those who were hallooing.

There was a disheartening disadvantage for mo, for I had no saddle, but I was riding for my life, and I held iny steod between iny knoes, and took the broad trail with the fury of a Urnuta Dut tho issue would rest mostly with the horses. I knew nothing Of the onf which I rode I knew nothing of those, that were pursuing mo excepting my own white-iaoed mare. Sho could run liko an antelope and out-wlnd a hurricane.

On and on and on my steed desperately spurred with the point my knife, bore ahead, actually causing me to gasp for breath and not two hundred yards in the rear rode my would-be murderers.

On tho rolling prairie ndw, and my animal took the declivities with a plunge and the elevations with a sure, fierce stride—across the brawling lord—but crack came another rifle echo, and again a stream of fire seemed to strike my shoulder. They were closing in—closing up. I oould now make out only two horsemen following. Ono of these had discharged his rifle at mo, the other I knew was held in rest for them to come just a few yards nearer.

A momentary dizziness lopped me ovor upon my horse's nock. 'Ihe ruffians yelled triumphantly behind, but a distant echo brought me up, and giving my poor beast a stinging blow, remitted the wild, long, fierce yell of the border rangers, and sped on again but my horse had that peculiar squirm now and then in his gait that told mo he was faltering.

Again that echo reached me, swelling out on the rising wind—it was tha shrill squeal of the fife and the rum-diddle-um, did-e-um-dum, dum of infantry returning from some expedition-to F«»rt

Again I sent out that long, wild,

border yell, and I knew by the quicker breathing of the fife, and the rapid pulsing of the drum, that tho soldiers had broken into tho "double quick" in heed of my cry.

A parting shot tired at random, and the two desperadoes turned but one of them, at least, I waf not done with. 7 called my horse with a peculiar whistle, I repeated and repeated it, and then I heard him crashing again in pursuit, while his rider shouted and lashed him, and tried to pull him round the other way. For a brief tiino the desperado wrestled with th animal, lashed, goaded and roared at her, but my incessant, ierkv whistlo-eall kept her mind and head towards me. Ho only gave up the fruitless struggle and leaped from her back when a squad of infantry dashed over a billowy swell of prairie,and rushed down towards us at that steady, measured run, which is so effective in contrast with a disorderly gait.

It's Wolf, boys," I exclaimed, as they came up writh me—for I know his voice. I had no need to tell them that there was a price set upon his head, as it had been clearly proved that he had stirred up the savages to commit more than ono massacre of the settlers and a dozen of them, uttering a yell of fury, started in pursuit while the others, noticing my swaying about on the animal which I rode, began to think that I had found something serious in the race of life. In fact, the plain was rising and falling and shuffling about so that it took a great amount of nerve and equipoise to sit as I ought. They got me into Fort Laramie, however, with Uncle's promissory notes all safe in my breast pocket white my boot fUilol' blood, and the galling flesh wounds in my shoulder, accounted for tho odd manoeuverings of tho plain while I was on horscback.

After a brief but desperato conflict, Bill Wolf was brought in, and passed over to the proper officers "to havo and to hold," until there should be meted out to him the measure which he had given others. ~TIlU&rHER.

Confidenco is everything between hus band and wife and a woman who loves desires abovo all things to bo trusted. She would not be glad when he is sad. She would not be ignorant of his troubles or his anxieties. Any thing is better to her than to be shut out from the innermost of tho life of one who should be all hers as she is all his. Women generally are averse to keeping things to themselves, and a husband is often over-dosed with confidence but many really affectionate men lead, as tar as their wives are conoernod, a double life. Of that which is not domestic they^ think it right to say nothing. Some grievous troubles may be upon them—3 read of failure, certainty of loss, rumors of some mistake which has plunged them into anxiety and they make no sign of it Save by,a change of manner,which to the women who are ignorant* that they bare any cares, is incomprehensible.

The wlfb would gladly be sympathetic, buit when a frowning brow, silence, and the lack of usual carcases, are all die tokens that she has of her liege lord's trouble, all her boasted intuition oannot keep her from flying to the conolusion that it is a personal matter—that she it no longer Iqved, or that he loves dome one else. And I believe much domestic misery has been caused in the first place by the man's secretiveness when he had no secrets which might not have been shared by his wife.

You may say. Why should he talk to one who cannot understand or give counsel to a being with such vague ideas of stocks, and banking, and speculation, that she can only wonder why things have gone wrong? Well, there are manv reasons the woman who holds him 'dear will give him more sympathy than any ether living being, fbr Ohe thing rand be needs sympathy, whether He knows ft or toofc

The utiea

Havaiia says

Last summer two sisters, wLu mm immediately opposite—therein that low house—used to oome to theterraoe nearly every evening at sdnaet. They ware about eighteen and fifteen years of age and botn were pretty. The eldest, Lota,

form so common among Ouha* women Mid fcr jare among Cuban men. The ^jghcewFanchita, was more dedicate in make, with flowing chestnut hair

The pretty sisters used to pace the aaotea with a nonchalent grace which it was enchanting to watch Lola with a cigar in her month, puffing vigorously both nodding and making signs with fingers and hands to the young people, also smoking, on the roofs around. Sometimes Panchita would indulge in a pretty to ror amelips. and then the light smoke curl up arouna the delicate little

A week or two passes thus in simple salutations and a pretense or taking exercise, when I discovered that a young

that three-story house on the right, remained suspiciously stationary in the corner of his azotea during the whole time that the sisters remained on theirs. Soon I was certain that Panchita smoked her oigar with an embarrassed air, different from her former natural, thoughtless grace then it was evident that she lingered a moment behind her sister when they prepared to descend, and never failed to cast a parting look in the direction of the stationary young man.

At last I surprised signals with fan and fingers,' and then blown kisses from the admirer, aud soon all the evidences of passion that a tall individual on a housetop with his silhouette distinctly drawn against the sky, can dare to give. And then, when Panchita was fairly out of sight, Pepe descended also, and half an honr latef, would be found in the streets posted outside her parlor window waiting patiently for a stray smile or word from his lady love within.

You see how convenient tho windows are constructed in this country for lovemaking, reaching down to the ground, without glass, and only tho perpendicular iron bars, six inches apart, to defend them, there is absolutely nothing to prevent the tenderest conversation botween the gallant en tho sidewalk and the belle inside the grating, or reja, as it is called.

It is, then, outside this reja, the Cuban lover oegins his courtship and sighs his pretty nothings—"Alma do mi vida," (soul of my life) "Cucullo do mi corazon," fire-fly of my heart,) etc.,—to the willing, enchanted ears, within. After a period of out-door love-making, longer or shorter, according to tho ardor and sincerity of the wooer, he requests to see papa or mamma, and begs their permission to be allowed to continue his courtship in-doors.

If he is counted a good match be is asked for how long a timo he intends to pay his addresses before ho determines or is able to marry. If his term be too long, he will probably not be permitted to visit at the house, but if all is right and smooth, gracious leave is given to come every evening. From that hour the young lady's society belongs exclusively to him he and she sit side by side in tho parlor, whispering and giggling together.
