R.. has a joputa* ion of 600—700 is a thriving business tent re, and controls the trade of an average radius of over eight miles, in which the JOURNAL has a larger circulation than all ether county papers combined. Advertisers tciUviea&e make a note of this Who Comes There? Business connected with the firm •of which I was junior partner com piled lire to visit Sau Francisco. On the train was a tall, soldierly appcaviug man, whose acquaintance I made. lie told me of au adven ture hejhcd. It was a personal adventure, and the gentleman, an officer of the ar my, would not care to see his name in prin f . "It was during the Mexican war, when I was a sub in a cavalry regi ment, that I found myself on duty at Vera Cruz. Tempted by the high mountains in the vicinity, the leautiful scenery, and above all the superb hunting, I sallied forth early one morning accomranied by no one save my Newfoundland dog. "I WHS an ardent sportsman, my double-barrelled gun worked to a charm, and not until the deepening shades of evening, accompanied by an unmistakable growl of thunder, did I give a thoug.it to the flight of time or the importance of retracing my steps to the city. "It was about the time that the bloodthirsty and cowardly Canales had ordered every Mexican to join the army and commanded that no quarter should be granted to the hated Americans. "I had not anticipated danger from the enemv, unless it might be in the shape of some small bands of guerrillas lurking amid the moun tain gorges, actuated more by the hope of plunder than by patriotic motives. "I will not attempt to say how many thousand feet I was above the level of the sea, but I found the ele vation sufficient even for the tried and practiced nerve 3 of a seamen, had he been placed in my position." "There is little twilight, you know, in the tropics. Tue sun had disappeared in the folds cf an im mense cloud wflieh was rapidly spreading itself over the entire heav ens, while from its sibh dcoths darted lurid sheets of lightning, fol lowed by the increasing roar of thunder, which already found an echo through the valleys and gorges of the mountains. "I did not fancy a wet jacket, ar.d whistling for my dog, an ani mal to which I was warmly attach ed, I was on the point |of retracing my steps down the rough moun tain road, when the jingling of spurs and accoutrements, the trampling of horses, and the hoarse word of command was sufficient for me to draw back into a tall tuft of grass and Spanish bayonet grow ing beside me. The dog crouched at my feet, growling ominously, as if conscious of the danger his master was in, and faith, I did not much like the situa tion I found myself compelled to face. A mmber of Mexican lancers were before me preparing to bivouac for the night, and my retreat down the road was out of question. "High, precipitous rocks hemmed me in on three sidts, through which the road I had traveled had been originally cut. The outlet was now in possession of the lancers, while in front of me the steep side of the mountain, verging almost on to a precipice, sloped toward the city. "To remain where I was would be only to court death, a nameless fate, an unknown grave for discoyery was certain to follow when the sentinels should be posted. "Cautious'y I examined the smooth sides of the precipice, cover ed here and there by a network of vines, clinging to the crevices and rifts ia the rock for its uncertain life. Further on I beheld a dark, irregular line disappearing in the murky depths below. I strained my eyes to the utmost, for the gloom of night and the mists of the storm, which threatened every mo ment to burst above my head en veloped all objects in darkness and uncertainty. But tor once fortune favored me, ad I never iaii claim to being a favorite to the fickle jade. The dark l : ne proved to,be a deep, dry gully, the channel of some mountain stream long since dried up. Bathow to reach the. friendly cov er ? That w>s the question which puzzled me. A sudden com motion among the g lyly-trapps I gentry behind me s >on decide I my course of action. They had kindled a small camp hiv, wore abjut to cook their cya ning meal, and a down moil—tall, strapping fellows, were radiating from the main body i.i different di rections to perform the duty of sen tinels. One in particular was making for the friendly clump of wide-spread ing limbs, in hopes possible to par tially escape the first gusts of wind and rain which had begun to sweep about tho mountain. Dropping my fowling-piece, and bidding my noble dog to shift for himself. 1 swung myself over the precipice, clinging to the network of vines, which shook and complain ed beneath my feet. The darkness had increased with astonishing rapidity, and asl swung over that raylcss void I found it im possible to pierce the gloom. I heard the short, sharp howl of my dog as he darted off in search of then, amid the rush of the squall, came the confused shouts of men, a staggling shot or two mingled with the crash of the heavy artillery rolling in the vast expanse above me. Depending principally upon the sirengtn aud endurance of my arms, I carefully and cautiously felt my way along the verge of the preci pice, working in the direction of the gully, which, once gained, promised to afford me the means of escape from the dangers which eucompuss ed me. Broad sheets of lightning lit up with dazzling distinctness tho fear ful scene, bringing out every undu • lation cf the rocks, every crevice and blade of grass, and once, when I had found a slight support for my feet, and was giving my aching arms a rest, I glanced above amid the yel low glare of the lightning and be held the fierce, dark-whiskered face of a Mexican peering over the briuk his eyes apparently fastened upon me as I hung suspended and flatten ed against the cliff but a few feet below him, while the electricity twisted and wriUvr*, like tongues of infernal serpents, around the muzzle of Ins carbine. It was a trying moment, my friend, a situation well calculated to inspire a feeling of terror in the boldest. But whether it was rain which was falling fn torrents, and diiving fuiiously before the gale, or the glare of the lightning, which prevented the lancer from discover ing me, lam unable to say. At all (vents 1 escaped his notice, the shot aid not come, and, watching my chance in the lulls of the tempest, I continued my perilous course. It seemed as if the floodgates of heaven had been opened, and the scourging wind sweeping with ter rific violence around the mountain, disputing every inch of the way which I gained with the utmost dif ficulty, ofteucioies threatening to tear me bodily from the oscillating ladder which had served me so well. I had but little strength to spare when I at last found myself croucn mg on the muddy bottom of the old mountain gorge. The eai th yielded beneath my feet, sand and pebbles swirled by, and rising above the crash of the ele - meats, 1 heard the increasing roar of some unknown torrent, as it swelled and gatnered force for above me. Nerved on by the strength of de spair, I rushed down the steep de clivity, reckless as to where my feet might wander. Completely blinded between the mingled glare of the lightning and the intense darkness that followed each flash, I stumbled on, feeling that every moment my steps were becoming un3teadiei. The water was already up to my knees, and rushing by with a force that made me grip desperately to whatever projection I could find along the side of the ravine. The inexorable water rose yet fas ter, and the anger of the tempest grew wilder still. My strength and even faculties were failing fast, my feet were lifted from beneath me, and quicker than thought I was rushing helplessly along, enveloped amid the spray and foam of that maddening whirl. I think I must have lost myself for a moment, hut awakened amid the darkness and roaring waters, nearly strangled to death. Another instant and I was whirled heavily against some yielding object. I rallied my strength for a final ef fort. The next flash revealed the wreck of a tree, with the roots still clinging tenaciously to the side of the bank. I drew myself out of the rush of the current, and crawled to a firm foothold on the shelving bank of the torrent. The cool rain revived me. The terrible strain upon my nervous sys tem had robbed me to a great ex tent of the strength and vitality na tural to my strong constitution: But my power of endurance was great. I stumbled forward, feeling my way amid the debris of fallen trees, pit holes and huge rocks, all scattered Dromiscuously about ou the steep side of tne mountain, un til a faint glimmer of alight stream ed tremulously across my path. It was a welcome sight, and, prisoner or no prisoner, I made up my mind to risk life and liberty, and demand shelter from the terrible strom, which still raged, but gaye signs of abating. I was unarmed ; the only weapon I had sallied forth with had been ' abandoned on the edjte of the preci pice, previous to mv attempting the perilous passage. I felt my heart, beat faster as I neared tho door of i that tumble dowed ranch which loomed up, a huge, mass, amid the gloom and solitude'of that wild spot. A moment's hesitation and I knocked resolutely at tl.e door. ""Queiro vivo I'' (who comes there) and I heard the click of a i weapon. "I am an American," I replied, i bitterly, in English. "A United States otlloer, who has lost his way in the side of this cursed moun tain." "With a jerk the door waa thrown back on its rsty fringes, revealing I the figure of a man of brawny pro ! portions, armed to the teeth, and of I most villainous aspect." "He held a daring torch -on high, 1 the uncertain light iff which fell across his scaried and scowling vis ! age. Keenly and deliberately ho j scanned the torn and tattered re- I mains of my uniform ; then, in a voice harsh aud growling, ho de manded7 "What do you want here ; and how many of you are there t" "I replied in the best Spanish I could master that I was aloue and repeated my doleful story of being lost in the storm. At that moment, to ny surprise and astonishment, r a y faithful New foundland, who, by some keen in stinct of his nature, had succeeded in scenting me, burst troin the sur rounding obscuiity, testifying his joy by leaping upon me and baying in his deep, powerful tones, lc was a welcome purprise to me. ! I felt that I had one friend upon ! whom I could rely in cuse of an | emergency. The man's appearance was indica tive of a mixtured ferocity and cun ! ning, while his eye, wild and unset tled, lit up with an expression I ; could not fathom, as he bade me en- I ter j Strange forebodings filled my heart as I gazed about the recesses of the hovel, it was almost bare of furniture, save a table and twobrok |en chairs. A fire blazed cherily in ; the fiie place, before which were stretched three dark forms, wrapped in tattered and greasy blankets. The gleam of fire-arms, as they lav piled in a corner, did not escape my attention ; and you may depend I did not feel the easiest in ray mind as I drew up before the fire, with my dog coiled up at my feet. In my exhausted state, despite the danger I felt was lurking about me, I must have dropped off to sleep, my head finding a support against a projection of the chimney. The low, motionless hum of voices fell upon my ear, and cautiously re committing from beneath the visor of my cap I found that tho three sleepeis had aroused themselves, and were in deep earnest consulta tion with the gentleman whom I had first accosted. Straining my f ais to the utmost I could manage to catch occasional fragments of sentences as they drop ped from the lius of the four com rades, who were as promising can didates for the gallows as L ever care to meet again under like cir cumstances. The howl ami gush of the gale had ceased, but the occasional pat ter of rain drops falling from the leaves and roof of the ranch proved that the rain had but recently pass ed away. Do von notice the glitter of those buttons Y remarked one of the four. "Curse the buttons !" broke in another, fiercely ; "of what value are they Y It's the glitter of gold I like to see ; and we have alreaidy wasted to much valuable liuie. I for one say kill him. If the Yan kee dog had a lives they should all be forfeited. He has come here masked ; he shall not depart so easily." "Hush, Juan ; you are too hasty. The question is will it pay better to dispose of him ourselves and share the plunder, or take him to Ca nales Y lie might come down hand some. Suppose the fellow should prove an officer of importance Y" "B?h 1 Yon talk liko a fool. Do you not see he is too young to have gained any importance Y As for Canales, Carajo I You will get no thing for your pains from him." "iMI this I heard distinctly, and much more which is unnecessary to repeat. That my life was doomed wat beyond all doubt ; but I was not disposed to make a vacancy in the corps without a struggle, and especially after undergoing what I had in escaping from the lancers. "I felt the blood coursing through my veins with renewed vigor as I looked the situation square in the face. My brain grew clearer as the irominece of the peril I was in grew more apparent. Trie dying embers of the fire era mitted fitful gleams which fell across the polished arms of the scoundrels, piled promiscuously to gether in the corner of the ranch. At that moment, and as I was casting wistful glances at a carbine, the beetle browed rascal who had lighted me into the den glided across the floor, slipping a stout bar across the door. "Xow, boys, finish the job, and tlien share alike," were the words I heard. "Every nerve in my body jarred ; the blood rushed back to my heart as the decisive moment arrived. Up to that time 1 had not stirred or changed my position, leading the scoundrels to count on an easy vic tory, no doubt. The odds were fearfully against me, and as the four turned their wolfi3h eyes in my di rection, the clear, ringing notes of a bugle came rising and falling, filling the air with its melody. * 4 A wild cry of joy burst involun tarily from my lips, a thrill of hope pervaded my whole being, as I list ened. It came from my own gal lant lads—a detachment sent out in all probability in search for their missing officer. My four friends here paused, uncertain and undecided how Vo act. They turned for an instant toward the door, leaving me to take advan tage of their stupidity. When they again confronted me I was HI possession of the coveted corner, with n ritle to my shoulder, looking them grimly i the face, while my dog, his hair bristling with rage, stood bravely beside me, displaying his fangs to the engaged guzc of the greasy four. "Knife them, lads, before tliey are atop of us. Put him out of sight, or we'll all swing, but not one of theta sti red. "That dark, death-dealing rifle barrel had a wonderfully trauquil izing ♦ ff ct. "Curses on ye!" shouted the leader, foaming with rage, as ho dashed forward, knife io hand. "Are you all afraid of the Yankee ? I let wim in bete, and this knife shall givchiui permission to leave.'' "Perhaps the villian expected to shako my nerves and cause me to throw away my shot, but I never felt firmer, more determined, iu my life. I covered his left breast with the sight of the weapon, and with the report the scoundrel foil headlong to the iloor. "Charging through the smoke the remaining lh;ee rushed U[H>II me, but were by the dog, who bur ied his teeth in the llesh of one of them. "I remember striking out with my clubbed rifle, of parrying with rapid thrusts, and cheering 011 the dog, when, by some means, in the melee, a horn or canister of powder must have fallen amid the red-hot embers of the fire. "It exploded with tremendous violence, blowing offUie roof of the house, sending the walls asunder, and hurling rue to one side, half su(located and nearly insensible. "When I fully realized what was passing about me my own troops were removing the debris from my limbs, and the Newfoundland was licking my face. "It was as I supposed, a party sent out in search of my unfortu nate self, and they were returning from a bootless search, when the report of a ritle, followed by an explosion and the glare of flames, attracted their attention. tk Of course, ray friends, wo made sbort work of tlie three miscreants who were dragged forth from the burning wreck. They howled vig orously for mercy, but that was not to be thought, of iu their case. A swing from the nearest bough terminated their career, and I rode back to Vera Cruz with my mind firmly made up that, during the remainder of the campaign, nothing should ever attempt me to wander alone among the hills of Mexico in quest of game."
