A severe Storm kept me at `ranclie for several days; and during,the time . I had to resort to rnany,.expedients in order to' relieve the monotony of the. situation. I played cards and chess with Don Jose, but he being an indifferent hand at these games, they consequent ly gave me but little amusement. The thbught occurred to me that the old .man - anght afford me some entertainment by the narration of scime Peints r in his early life. I therefore adroitly introduced topics nat . .' knew, Woof(' lead to : the sub ject, and pretty soon got him talk ing about the. past. " When I Was twenty years old," begatliDon Jose, I went to live with Don : Refugio Torres at his hacienda bn. I!:'sconditio Creek. It was just three .leagues distant from D ran g o,'tbei•efow nothing of a ride. I was employed in the capacity of an under superior of .the cattle,, and received 31,15. Orders.from' Pedro Ri vas, the major-domo, for Don Refu go was a very quiet, indolent and easy, man, and troubled himiself very little about busine,s, the manage ment of which he left entirely to Pkivto. " For some . ..cause other r —l nev er could find .out what--the major domo took a great disliketotne; and, being a surly man, I got from him ' nothit g but an ,abundance of hard work, and no coantity of ill will. I went :toDon Refugio with an, exeellatit recommendation from My former employers, and as my mother had: been a sort of distant connection in the - Terres' family, l)on Refugio looked upon me with a certain degree of favor that was not accorded to every person on his, place, • "We used. to raise a - good many cattle on Escondido Creek, and send them to Durango for sale., The herders alwayi drove the beasts there while I followed leisurely in the rear until - they -- arrived; when -- oltr agent would' sell them - and pay over the money to me, which I would secure on my 'person and bring. to Don Refugio. " I had been; at the hacienda about a ryeitr *lied. one - OtniY Mends made me a present or a fine blood-hound which I named Moro. , The animal was but three months; _old when I got him, and as he grew to strength and stature he became 'very much att. - ad:tett. to Me. I really: loved that animal, for though he had a swage nature, he was ; gentle as a lanib to me. Me accompanied me wherever I went, and slept at the foot;,. of my bed. • It seemed to me that he . inta the only real friend I had, in the world. . "One autumn evening, Pedro Ri vas informed me that some cattle would start the -following morning for Durango, and as one of the herd era-was sick, I would have to twist in driving thenr. At first I inclined to resent what I considered as an affront and a trick ' to mortify me ; but, upon second thOnght, I conclud ed to have no words Wilh him, as he might make it-a cause of complaint to Don Refugio. Therefore, the-next morning 531 1 7 ine - on the 'Biddle' with one herder to amompany Mei and my faitlitel Mord trotting by my side. There were thirty ,headvf cattle- in all, bearing Don Refugio's,' brand.

Durango in time forthe greatfair, which they have every .year, and our agent speedily .sold the cattle for a gOod price, and -turned the money over to me to take beck to Don Re fugia. I always made it a custom to stop at the Fonda del Rumba`, for Juanita the pretty daughter of ;the preprietor, was a greet favori4 of mine and I hoped some day to si s rry her when was better off in life. A Young man alWays looks forward to making money, and notwithstanding my situatiOnyielding me only enough to support myself, still I thought there would come a turn in my. af fairs whereby I could claim Juanita for ray bride. "I found my_ sweetheart on 'the watch for me, for she bad heard from a traveler that I was on ,the road, I spent two days in her com pany, and got ready to depart, when suddenly I discovered that Moro was missing. I searched about the stables for him, but he was 'no where to be found. I couldu't count for his absence, and was qnite sure he wonldn't follow any pne,ifor he had a certain ferocity towards strangers that made it unsafe for them to meddle - with him. "But Moro was gone, and I had to return. and the idea of going without him made rite feel very unhappy-.' I had sent the herder, Benito, ahead of me the previous (lay, as I did not wish the fellow's society. Just'as I Was biddg Juanita good-bye,' a Mexican assed through the room, and asked me to describe' my dOg. i lli When I had done so, he remarked : " I saw two, men about an hour 'ago have such a dog whiCh..they were leading away by a rope."

Suddenly I heard sev eral sharp barks, which I at once recognized as .loro's. I made no remark, however. fearing I might be mistaken after all, but went up to the room he showed me, and. But doWn by the side of the tallow candle which afforded me; light. Something made me suspicious of the man, and I de termined not to go to sleep.

I looked at my pistols which I always carried, and found they were ready for use at a moment's notice. As 1 laid. them down beside mei I heard a snuffing at my, door.

"If I had suspicions before, they • ere confirmed now. Mr poor dog had escaped, from the man's custody, and came to warn me of his treaeli cry. I looked out the window. 'lt wasn't very -high from the ground, but it was, impossible to jump flow it, because there was a hot house with a glass roof directly under where I must fall." 1 " About midnight I heard a couple of men ride up, and dismounting, they entered.
