TIE WILDLY WON; • OR ZiOVZI ON TUE PIIAIRIEIS. I= IN or in the centre of a sycamore grove—where' the ' Deccan and the turtle-berry flourish in open glades. where the deer come at even-tide to water, and whore the tur key gebble in the duo season, thickly bright with wild grape vines, and other creeping plants—is Deccan Spring, locality Celebrated, far and wide, with the • hunters and trappers who frequent the borders of the Red River. It is t 4 sweet and retired spot, a very woodland retreat, whore fays and sprites might be supposed to dwell, and dance by the blue light of a summer moon, leaving no mirk or sign upon the rich prairie grass: but which, in the land of the Anglo-American, knows no other associations but \ those connected with the copper-colored aboriginals, who sometimes visit it for a draught of fresh.watcr, and to rest after the chase. Many a sound of savage feast, and many a wail of war victims had been heard there in its day, and many a tale of wild interest and bloody event was connected with its history. Around, as far as the eye could reach, was prairie—a level surface ofhoundless extent, swelling here and there like wavelets onto sea, but to the roving eye, flat and anomie& The wood, which in part was filled with trees of ditnront species, covered many miles of ground, reach ing to the border of a small but muddy stream, in° part fed by the spring which made the locality ao desirable. The sun hod gone angrily to rest, setting in a flood of blood rod light that yet illumined the western horizon; a few ragged and scattered clouds were gradually increas ing in ;ambers, and threatening an overcast and stormy night, when a mounted traveller came trotting up to wards the centre of the groVe. lie was a young man of goodly mist] and stalwart frame, clothed in a complete suit of I?sinting clothes, with flannel shirt, buckskin teen • t'; sem utstanned boots. shot pouch. bag, and rifle ef heavy colibre=:inidl'no small load for a horse of the dimensions seen is the priteries. The animal seemed to scent the water. for, without hesitation, it rotted towards the small open glade, where it bubbled foil, and came to a dead halt./ "Well done, old girl:" said the traveller. "1 conclude you recollect last fall, when the bloody Sioux were out lying for our skins, and we camped about these diggers. Dot softly, mare, down below is your location—leave this greensward for your betters. Como ahead, Kelly:" "Got the spring?" growled a deep voice, at some die- MO "I reckon I have;" continued the young men, dis mounting. and unloading the jaded brute, whito his com panion rode up. "The vory dig one!" said Kelly. also dismounting, and presonting to the eye the huge frame and six feet two of a Rocky Mountain trapper: "it's tale juicy water, and smell potatoes to spare." • The second comer was far leas well favored than the first. Dark haired and eyed, with huge whiskers and mastachoes, and eyebrows to 4, there was an un pleasant scowl about his taco, which was indicative of much evil passion, which his, apparently vast bodily strength tended to render all the lees agreeable. He looked the very man to hug a boar, oat an Indian, and whip a panther round his head, as ho would awing a cat by the tail. "We shall do very well, I expect," said James What o», the first speaker. "We're bound to do war I am. We've moat and wat• or, we've fire and baccy, what moro can a man ail" Wharton laughed, and without answ ering , , having honied his horse, began collecting dry sticks, while Kelly, with -.hage axe, felled some large branches, suited to iltt e paritose'of a roaring fire. o'lt'iiiiiiilon cold," said Kelly; "and darn me if IFaind a "tagines.

"NMI; ripe for a month." ..Well, then, keep fired watch, while I snooze," eon tinued.the other, with a laugh; and, rolling himeolf along, he stretched hie huge limbs athwart the fire, and in live 'minutes, gave ovidout tokon of being in a state of somnolence. James Wharton remained alone, and, glancing around, noticed that deep night had set in, and that the heavens were more and more overcast and lowering: but he cared not. Born in the haunts of civilization, end amid the educated of his fellow men, a roving lute had led him to venture amid Ole wildest scenes, and to depend for days and weeks,' nay months, upon his gun for subsistence; to lie down in peace with the wolf, the bear, even with the Indian close at hand—and had taught him to feel no ansioty,for his scalp, as long as it was upon hishead.— Rain and wind, heat and cold, had become alike indif. fermi!: and ho cared not so that there happened not—the groat scourges of the prairies..—bunger or thirst. The gusts came constant and heavy amid the trees, and the howl of the cajole°, au American wolf, was distinct and near, in search of scraps loft about by the traveler. "Hist!" whispered' Wharton to himself, as ho sank beside his comradel in the act of listening, the gentle but still perceptible soiled of a foot-fall on the dry sticks be neath the trees reaching his car—"but I will not wake this brute, unless need be;" and, rolling himself out of (hp glare of the fire, he rose ou his feet, and stepped, or rather glided, 1)601 a 'tree. "Pat—pat! cattle souse straggling and feeble steps, wide!), sounded strangely to the woodman. "Some Indian deviltry, or a woman, I'll hvear!" said Wharton; "but, however, hero goes. Who Comes? If friends, advance. , There are none but white men here!" A feeble groan followed; and Wharton, whose feelings were aroused, seizing a brand from the fire; hurried in the direction of the sound, and, to his inexpressible as. tonishment, discovered a woman loaning for support against a trop. It was apparent at a glance that she was in the last stage of exhaustion and suffering, and the young man, without hesitation, took her in his arms, and bore her to the fire. Opening his 1148 k, he poured a small draught of brandy down her throat, which instan tly reviving her, he hastened to' cut from tho bile* which had supplid them 'for supper, a few tender and de licate morsels. "Water—Water!" whispered tho girl, fot Wharton hed discovered his prizd to bo a young and handsomo whiter 'Tis (Milo," said ho; "come, choer up, maid; hero is food, and drink, and Christian company." "Stranger.-I am dying with hunger!" again foobly cried the girl. ..That shall be soon remodied. To begin, hero is a small bit of maize bread. and these hot coals will give you as tondor a broiled steak in five minutes, as you could wish." Tho Indian rorn cake was greedily devoured, and as soon as the savoury morsel, which Wharton laid before her, was also eaten somewhat moro deliberately, a change for the hotter was manifest in the lady, who had thus unceremoniously intruded herself into the trappers' camp. As strength and life returned, the young cm tore seemed to think of tho•nevelty of her position, and ithe sat in some confusion, with downcast eyes, in the presence of her preserver. "You are better, Miss?" eakb Wherton, gently, ad miring by stealth, the returning ,beautioa of face and ex pression. • "Much, generous man," she replied. "For five days hare I wandered, and endured the pangs of starvation, alleviated only by berries and t(10,i9." "You were lost, of course?" continued Wharton, too much accustomed to such an event, to be in any way surprised. • •Yes. Early in tho morning.; my party—which was bound to Arkansas, from Lower Texas, which we loft beesMse of the• war—started, while: 1 lingered behind to gather some rasa and new flowers. This done, 1 follow. ed. rut 1 thought, in their trail. bin, as I have since sup. posod, must have taken the wrong ono. For hours never discovered my mistakes: and than instead of ro. tracing my slops. I attempted to cross the prairie in search of the. right one." "Which, of course, you never found." "1 never did; and since then I hove wandered I know not how." novor mind sad reminiscences. Wel are for Arkansas, and will see you safe there. l Strange guar dians for one so young and fair," culleti ho, with •laugh, "but, trust me, I wilt prove a true one." "I will put faith in you." she roPlied, "and if you take 'me to my friends, no thanks of mine will bet wanting. I would do anything to show my gratitude." "Anything?" raid 'Wharton. with animation. "In reason." she continued. with a blush; fOr the hunter's eye, rim of genuine, hon:ret admiration.. was full upon her. "But what am I toms!! you?" He told her. "Ah, well! and I am Mary itonahaw; and thie huge hunter'?" "Job Kelly—rough enough. but, I think trne. I have not been acquainted with him long, but I think I can say a good word." "Well. you aro a queer sort, said Redly, growling: "what locrum is that you're n-carrying on by yourself?" "Caught for °ace, Juh," replied Wharton, "for I em not alone; another traveller has chred this way." ' "Well. Pnt bound to mar.. but I won't," said Kelly, sitting bolt upright, and stating in mute wonder at the strange company into which he had fallen. "I'd-not advise you to," continued Wharton, "as you are in the company of a lady." "Well, I'll be riglarly dialed dry for a month," said Kelly, still staring, "but this is seeing tho elephant, and no flies." , Wharton. who was Inughpig heartily. now explained ho accident to which they awed tho'strango addition to heir party, and conversation became general, until the oung man recollected the-fatigues and sufferings of the ! id; and, making her arm& couch of Spanish moss and !eaves, covered with a horso.cloth„she was induci3d to lie down near the fire. In this her two guardians pro gantry imitated her, and the night passed without further Interruption. It was sometime after dawn or Wharton awoke. when ho found Kelly stirring about, busily preparing breakfast, while their fair companion still heavily slept. Ever and anon, the hunter cast -curious glances at her calm upturned face, in which looks wore visible consid erable wonder at her fairness, mingled with eztreme ad miration of her beauty. •'Well, lam a Ogler old hand.

At length, Kelly, Who Was in advance, signalled a herd of deer at some distance to the loftier-the plain, near a knot of bushes; and the young man, 14ving assured himself of their position, started across in scarce of the game, his companions agreeing to halt foi him at the ford, which lay some miles head. For some minutes Wharton found tho prairie dry and fit for walliing; but ere he had advanced a bun died yards, a smel morass, thickly grown with tall rushes impodied his, progrless, and he had to turn to the right in search of a hillock, over which he could pass dry-footed.— Reaching the summit, he lookedronnd, and, to his consi derable surprise, discovered his friends at a gollop, making along an old Indian trail, which led in a very ' different direction to that of the rendezvous—in fact.- terminating in an old deserted , luster of wigwams, quite off tho road. t. ..Yo art, Ha oln .'and 140 your pltin 1 ilsbo j .,ur pin ..t a glance; but your head is turned and 141 balk you or lem no white man.
