Tht Bimini Kentuckian; or Live & . Courage.
BY J. INIIRARAM
At the close of one of thobit- gorgeous' tropical
days peculiar to the %ow latitudes in May and
June, a majestic steamer was ascending the Mis.
sissippi.
.t.
Steadily ascending the river with a majestic mo.
lion, the noble steamer moved swiftly along amid
the lair scenery of sky and earth; her wake glitter
ing and sparkling far astern, and heaving in the
air, as she went, a long path of daik, brown smoke
like a banner flung.oin !
The decks Were thronged with gay groops of
phssengers. Some promenaded the hurricane deck
*ruing upon the shores and enjoying the motion of
the vessel as she glided past then. Others sat in
parties conversing. From a group at the stern rose
the clear notes of a sweet singer's voice mingled
With the rich bads of ,a contralto: - Some walked
alone and apart from the other's smoking and mus
ing, or with their thoughts winging their Way to
hinnes left behind or in anticipation.
4mong the various groups that were dispersed
over the spacious decks of the steamer, w,dked one
alone. His air etas sad, and'he seemed to shrink
from observation; yet be scarcely aimed or return
ed in:his slow walk thai eyes were not closely and
with strange curiosity observing him. He-seemed
to be particularly .an objezt l of attention and conver
sation. Yet he never or very seldom raised his
trark eyes to glance, as though conscious of the ob
servation which centered upon him.
He was a man of very elegant . exterior, tall and
slender, with a dark face; and marked with a sin
gular union of gentleness and fire. There was
about him a certain ail of command that could not
fail to arrest the attention of the lowest and mean
est observer.
The,glorions beauty of.the skies gradually bleat
into'the gay of evening, and still he paced the deck
in the same spate, *hitt), as if by common con•
sent, the rest ofiheViesserigers had left unoccupied
for his use. He had all this time spoken
,to n 6
one. He see.rifed to have companionship with
none on-board.
_ At length a young girl of about fourteen sum
mers; with - bright, hazel eyes and soft, brown sun
ny hair, came upon deck leaning upon the arm of
a lady. There was ju,n light enough lingering from
the skies to show how surpassingly lovely vrtis this
sweet child: The purity of a good and generous
heart shone in her firm, and the maturity. of a up
• man's deeper and holier feelings reposed there:—
She was both a child and a woman; with a soul
full of sympathy and emotion, yet with an artless
expression end an air that belongs to girlhood.
s As she appeared on fleck, the solitary stranger
quickly It hiseyeanna.sested,thena upon imp.-
for he seemed to have heard her step, and recog
. nized her. As he behehrber, a smile of incompar:
able sweetness lighted up his sad, dark face, and
approached her he boWect to both ladies with grace
and dignity.. ;He conversed with them al few mo
ments; and their offering his arm to the young girl,
. they together promenaded the decks while the lady
seated near seemed to retard them both with into
- rest. The tones of the deep rich voice of the stran
ger occasionally dell upon her ears as he disi'aurs
eit with his cernpanien,avho seemed to listerorith
delight.
" Madam," said a gentleman advancing and tak
ing a seat by the senior lady, and addressing her
in a low voice. "I think you act very imprudent
in permitting your daughter to form an acquain
tance with that man."
"Anne is to very young there can bei ' danger,"
said the lady, smiling. " Besides, she is the only-

ing in my mind the extraordinary character and
wonderful life of this man, when Anne spningftom

herself before hiin. At the same lament, I heard a
loud oath uttered from a window on sbore,snot fif

" Yeu may thank'the quick eye and quicker foot
of that young girl; senor," said he coarsely, '4 that

with my ri ftebore, but. she has saved you this titan !
Bnt beware the nexi !"
Thais speaking, the man disappeared-11*rib" win
dow, and the ,boat at the - same time, shot rapidly
away from the pier. Anne's act was irapalsive,
like herself, She told me that she saw the man
level his rale and bring it to bear. That she had
no time to cry out, but trusting that the sudden in
tervention of her person would save him from fir
ing, she sprang forward as she did.

" It is a pity that she carklit sight of the Tennes

cruel and blood-loving Mexican's order, and was
entitled to his revenge. Let me rocmamend you
to caution your child not a second time to interpose
her person between the heart of this man and a ri
fle ball, Even it might not again serve as a pro
tection. The Tennesseean is vindictive. Ile will
follow his victim like a slouth hound, though he
may fail to effect his object. A rifle ball can pass
through two hearts as well as one !"
Thus speaking, the Kentucky gentleman rdse and
left the lady. A few moments afterwards, she ap
proached and, spoke to her daughter, and the Atria
ger relinguished her, escorted them to the saloon,
and then returned to pursue alone, his solitary star.

CHAPTER IL
A-few years passed away, and the blooming girl
of fouiteen - had become a lovely woman in the
piide of her charms. ft was a mellow twilight
hour. similar in bnauty of sky and richness co

tale.

Amid illtinty was seated on a balcony in her fa

scene of exquisite rural beauty. Noble parks in
which the deer broctrad Or spoiled, fearless of the

the roofs of the stately villas lifting themselves from

" But there is notertainty that Edward Linn was

Hark, this sound of a horse. It is the servant,
and he has the paper. We shall now, I trust, hear
something definite:" 4
the paper was hastily tinfolded, - and Anne with
rapid eye, ran over the several 'paragraphs. Aer
gaze rested upcn . one, headed "The Unfortunate

CHAPTER IT
Thirictator of Mexico was seated in the private
drawing•room of his palace, surrounded by his mi.
n;aters of state and of war. and a few select friends.
His brow wore a cloud, for he had but a.few' mi.
notes before given audience to the American Min
ister, and the latter had departed in anger.
' 4 What means this American-?" he haughtly de
manded, after a deep silerce had 'for some time

Thus speaking the Dictator rose from his seat
and walked the room at a quick, Hipping gait and
under angry eschewal. But his lameness Eon
caused him to resume his seat. As he did so, the
British minister wassrancenced.
