We were English rm4d,mta'in Malaga, my sweet Alice, her father, and myself, when a terrible mis fortune assailed us. Mr. Croft, In one of his CX• plorations as a naturallit, was seized upon by the robber-chief Moreno, and conveyed to his fastttess in, the mountains, from whence be demand ed ransom of rive thousand reals. No time was to he lost: the audacious bandit. had named lime and place of negotiation; If Alice's father was not re. deemed on the following day, she would be orphaned through toy neelret. I sought the British consul at WS house. The sersant replied "Mr. Edwards has gone to see the null tight." :To the bull ring I there fore hastened at once, and having purchased a tiek'-t which was to admit me to any part of the amphi theater, elbowed my way throurli the swarmiref crown, and entered. I had no eyes for the mass of gay-colored apparel or the rows of eager, excited faces, tier anoec tier, and still less for what was 140111 g on in the ring, where a young bull was being goaded to fury by sharp tridents awl fluttAT'ing flags, a mere prologue to the more thrilling scenes that were to follow. Bat the crowd baffled toe. Such multitudes from the neighboring towns and villages, attracted by the speetacle, had poured into lialap, that It was only for the ladies, and a favored few of the magistrucy and nobles, that seats could be ra mmed. The rest stood to thickly massed together that I soon found that to trace out Mr. Ed ward was hopeless. giving up the effort in despair, I turned to depart, but through some mistake, instead of gaining the open air I struck. Into.n long p.ssage leading I knew not whither, though I beard the bellowing of the bulls from the dens where they were shut up. Suddenly, from • sort of crypt, the half open door of which wan on my right,-.tame the sound of 'eniees, and I caught three words in Span Lth : " If you oiler a large reward I' Bay four or eye thougand reale! Consider, gentlemen; four or fire thomfand.nada for an hones work!" My lint seemed rooted to the ground, and I felt my face flush while I ltstened, as Itlife depended on coy overhearing what followed. • , " shall not find a man; bld What We Way." said another yoke, despondingly; "no one nut tired of his the would run the tisk. and, Carantha ! what will the people say ? There will be a riot, and oar houses may pay for It. Only think what will be the fury of the thousands up yonder when they hear that Manuel 4.gal cannot perform at all,. and that we havono matador to takeida place.".: " If Viejdlot had but had the ;sense to-brink hie leg after the bull. tight instead of before!" said a tiff. a apeakee, Ina otterutcrus tone.

Pitr there is no time to find a stibititutct but who, even fur four thousand teals, would face our two beat bulls—the black Portuguese and the brindle Mercian, fiercer than-'--" "Maki t the reward dye thousand mats, and I am your man, noble senores," said I. with sudden reso lution, emerging tom my tilding-place. Had I risen, like a theatrical spectre, through a trap door, my appearance could not have created greater counter. nation. The corregldor was the Brat to recover his enninimitv. He knit Ills heavy brown Into a dark frown, and angrily demanded who I might be. "Henry West, British subject, mute of the ship Tudor, now In port," was my answer, "ready to be your matador to-day, if you will raise the pay to five thousendjusla." . An animated dlicuselotV then took place. The idea of a sailor, ab Englishman, undertaking the dill cult and perilous task of bull-killing—for the matador, as Is well know; Is the only person ex posed to rent danger—seemed absurd. sßut then, it wasshrewdly.olaseteved by Due Ramon, the alealde, If I i'hbsc to' et gored to death it was no concern of theirs, and the cstastrophe would at leant put the people In good humor But the worthy insgistrate was reluctant to give so much as five thousand rinds. ift woteld.accept three thousand, or even four? lint I was firm. Five thousand or nothing were my terms, and as the mob began to get very noisy and impatient, the bargain was struck An agree ment was hastily written and signed by the aicalde, and a cheque for the money was drawn and en• trusted to tae master of the shows, to be handed to me when I should have earned ft As I traced my signature on the paper I felt that I was bartering my own life and blood to eaves Alice's father. That five thousand reels would be his ransom. But I had lit lie time to meditate, for I was hurried MT to another room, and there bidden to assume, as quickly as possible, the gay costume of a matador, and in the Mean time the magistrates hastened to their places, and the master of' the shows went on the somewhat awkward errand of ell:darting to the multitude that Manuel Zagai had broken his I.lr, nod th et -a tyro wonld take his duties on himself. Frotu the dark little chamber in which I was oc cupied, clumsily enough, In exchanging my own clothes for the gaudy Andalusian suit which was a necessary adjunct of rte character I had assumed, I could now and then catch the sound of the man ager's voice, as in oily accents he addressed the en lightened audience of his patrons. At first, his Speech elicited much noisy disapprobation., but presently laughter and cheers drowned the or ation, and wnen he came back he wiped his fore head with an air of self-congratulation. The audi• cure hail been raitorid to good humor. They had been testy and lrritable,,the manager told me, as he lent me hitt practised 40d . _ Ea %dressing, until he re minded them, that, at the worst they had never seen an - Englishman killed, and might look out for a novel excitement. "I told them, St Martin forgive me, that you were the first toreador In all London, nod bad come to Spain to challenge our best Bull fighters to a contest of skill," continued the man, and then bade me look at myself in the trines. I did so, hut hardly recognized myself, an mach was my appearance changed by the embroidered Jacket, t he slashed calzonellios, the many colored silken each, inn scarf heavy with silken fringe, and all the lace, bell bettors, and frippery of my costume. The master of the shows eyed me mitlealiy, from th, broad leaved sonibrvnl with lie red plume and golden cord, down to-the puruge and silk ith.ChilllCS which are me::-..santial to a tnatador as to a ma-ter of the c ,,monies; and dapped IDs 011 on the shoulder with toOrl-bili ured • word or (wet' of approval. Then hr presented; me With the searlet cloak and the long straight-bladed sword, and rapidly explained to oc ulist strokes were considered "foal," and whir were in accordance with the etiquette of tide gory pastinict lie was by uu means ill.natur:Sl, and did Ids best.tu encourage me, olLting me wile and refresbutents, and Insisting that I should swal low at leist one goblet of strong Calesvella. • "Cheerup, comrade," mill he; "keep cool, avoid the first rush and you may get off with unbroken bowsr and a *hole skin. Throw' the cloak well over his horns; and drive In the sword time, turning the wrist in this manner, and avoiding the breastbone Never be it a hurry, or you are lost.. 1 have seen old hands lose their heeds at the first roar and dash of a hart bull, but I like you, lad, schiNnatic as I on are, and I don't want to see you go nut fret foremost. Let me feel sour palate." Ana he took ins wrist he tween his fingers, probably to ascertain li I waa to.. mu c h flurried l's the api.roach of danger to attend 11/ his instructions. Iltfuever, he released my hand muttering with eann, , thing of genuine satisfaction in his tone, "Thnee island maottlli! a tnngli breed !" He then conducted me to a nook whence I conld see through a small window wnich commanded a good view of the arena and of the spectators above, while the close trellis-work of rusty iron prevented the occupants of the lair iron being visible. And I then, bidding me be of good courage, he left me to I attend to hit italics. 1 immt. alone, though I conid bear the " hoarse bellowing of the bulls Confined in !dens near me; and no-v for the first time I had lei. ,ore to realize the rashness of my undertaking I had followed the bidding of impulse in what 1 had done, cud now, as I l o oked around, and remembered that the thousands of apeetators would gloat over my dy dog agonies as greedily 04 over those of the brute vlctirna of their cruet sport, I realized the lull danger of my positkin. But I quieted my apprehen-ious .by the thought of Mice. It was for her dear sake, to earn her father's ransom, that I was crouching where I was, and in this rummer's garb, waiting till I should be called forth, like a gladiator of the old p.,gan day., to redden the sand of the hull ring with my blood. F. , of escape from serious Injury had little hope. I knew that very few even of the agile Spaniards, aecustomed from cuildho ad to even detail of the.n repulsive spectacles, were tilling to accept the peril+ ul the matador's trade. I had see', bull-figlfts before, at Seville, at Vigo, and elsewhere, and remembered well how lormidable were the huge ',ruin:rats bred in the lonely pastures of Murcia and Castile, expressly for the arena Rot I drove away these thoughts, and took a deliberates irvey of Ira amphitheater. I looked up at the endless tiers of spectator's, the !ladies With their flashing eyes and waving fans, some in old Spanish dress, but most in Parisian finery: I;ar the dandeq. of Malaga ; the crowds of shopkeepers and artisans; whole' families together, from tile de 'lighted old grandmcither to the child In arms, that was being, taught to clan Its little hand. and crow al .the sight of bloodshed; at the multitude of peasant. holiday attire such as their ancestors wore in the days of Ferdinand and Inanella. I gave a glance to the place where the captain general, lu his rich unl form blazing with decorations, sat amid a brilliant group of officers arid ladle's, whose diamonds and courtly splendor seemed oddly placed in such a scene And then I looked down of the ring. As yet the sports had been merely oh an intrnduc tory character. Three or four young bulls had been worried sell' tridents and flags. A "craven," as those pacific animals are raked whose temper Is known to be meek, had been tormented with squibs, barbed darts. and the Inc...sant brandishing of red scarfs before his cytA., and had finally been dispatch ed by Chaco, who did what may be called the comic busing...a of the theater. And now a line bull, with wide-.pearling horns, was in possession of the ring This animal, however, disappointed the amatenres of the arena by showing more desire to escape than ferocity. lie ran round and round, seeking an out. let, and beilo.ing ph- oasis, as the active toreadors on foot, with tanners and scarfs, ran nimbly around him, taunting and hewing him, until Ids hide was like a 'pincushion Stuck -fait of tiny barbed darts adorned with colored oaper. Of this too the people grew weary, and a general shout arose: "Turns! twos! the Murcian bull ut once! No, the Portuguese! Let the English matador show us what stuff he Is made of. TOME , !" The manager looked up appealingly to the captain-- general, and, receiving an august nod of permission, bustled out- •Very soon there was a flourish of trumpets, and thee a deep roar, and tnen amid clapping of bandy and Iniztaing of countless voleea, - the brimila 3lureian bull faune at a heavy canter Into the ,into, stopped short, lifted his head, and gave a second roar of linpa , ient auger.

Hopes and hooks were fixed to the carcasses of the slain homes and they were dragged away, and fresh sand and sawdust were thrown down. It was time for the matador to appear. "Now, Englishman, they are waiting for you. Remember the thrust, and he cool," whispered the manager. lie led me Into the ring, and I made my bow to the captain-general and another' to the audience, while the manager with much grandilo. quence, poresented me to the public as "Don Earl guru, of London, the distimmished volunteer, who had so kindly undertaken to fill the omen of the eminent Manuel Liget." Scarcely bad he finished this speech before the hull began to adeanee, and my introducer hastily retired.

Then came back the thought of Alice, and I was myself once more. Disregarding the spectators, I bent my whole at tention on the bell, which was slowly approaching rne, with its heed bent down, and bloody foam dropping from its lips.

I thought the animal would have wheeled to renew the attack, but the last rush had mauifestly exhausted Ws remaining strength. He fell on his knees, and did not rise till the men on foot beset him with squibs and darts, when pain and fury re vived his forces, and he again made a !Wondering charge. This time I stepped aside, and, without throwing tits cloak over the hull's horns, plunged the sword Into his neck. He fell, and the audience set up a shout of " Well done, Inglese!" "That was an easy victory," whispered my friend, the manager, as he led me on, after making my bow is the people; "hut don't let it make you rash. The poor brute was bleeding to-death; anybody could see that! It will be different with the black Portuguese." And so it proved, for the audience londlv de manded that the lances of the picadors should be tipped with wood, all save a point two Inches long, AO that the next hull should show better sport. And not to dwell on details, atter tire or six horses had been disabled, the picadors retired, and amid a !loutish of trumpet I was placed face to face with the black Portuguese bull. •' Bravo, tom! look what a wicked eye he has!
