The TY'iuviaii wmncn an; extremely
beautiful. iSom ot th? hntidsomest
women i have ever seen, were natives
cl i'ern. One nf them iras Tnez Kanto.
c.is. a very pinnii in appearance. She
was searoely sixteen when (die married
Juan Salano, a young merchant of Limn,
a warm personal friend of my owu, who
had i;ei!lii'cd an almost princ .dy fortune
while yet a y ouvfr man. Like all iuind
f ime women, the .-'eii niia lacz had mii
tiy admirers. Aiuoa.'; tho.-T were a fust
i:inin of hers, Antntit.) jlijjtiel, who
bad inherited wealth fro n his parents,
but was fast t(i:r.iidenn it ia raniii-;;
and dissipation. He was exceedingly
haudsome, but a man of a very bad
character which, however, is not
thought tnueh of here, where morals
are more lax than in our own country.
I have alror.dy anticipated some by
tcliiiiir yon that the lady preferred my
file ml .Juai' ; hut my story does not end
with iier tii irriajxe, which exasp. rated
.Mit;i'.('l to Fitch a degree that, but lor
the iiiterven'lon ot friends, he would
have c!iaih:ii';.''d his more successful rb
va!. ! !avin at last run through with
hii in!:. iii inee, he soon alter left tho
city, and went, no one knew whither.
Abuiit six months after bis marriage,
Juan S.ilano purchased a silver miiio in
a remote) district of Peru, away to tho
".?. rod having built a house, cueh as
v ju! ! answer to live in, (or the time be

e. lie v.'.aild rather have left Inez
behind, lor her own comfort's sake, b'lt
siie would tut lis'en to it; go with her
husband she would, uo matter at what
sacnliee.
Juan took with him a nutnber of mi
ners, and ono survant, an old negro wo.
man. This last, would bealltliedo
niestie assistance they needed, as little
company need be expected in that out-of-tho.way
rc-glori. L presented him
w"fh a hound that I took with ma from
hoiue,, a nolle dog, and well-trained,
one that I had since a pup. Tho dog
neon bcc:;me much attached to his new
i:.ns(c: to J nan wrote me. The mine.
! he said, was doing well, and piotiisod to
ii. .t
ery remunerative, mii was somo
r.ioaths after they had bcconia settled
there. His letter ended wkli an urgent.
appcil to me to pay them a visit, o!Fer.
ing me such iiiro as tbeirhuDiblc d .re!!
i': might afford.
I promised to avail myself of thj in
vitation; a:id in the month of J une,
having no bu.:i;e.ss to dctai:i me, ctartod
IVo: i Lima on my way towr.rds the
mountains. I v,aj three th'ys in reach,
ing there, hiving performed the journey
almost entirely on horseback. J found
Juauaud his wife enjoying excellent
health, and delighted they Vero to sec
mo. Carlo manifested much joy, so my
reception was a welcome one a!J round.
" I'ott fee," said Juan to me, ,;we are
sixteen miles to tho nearest town, so
you .uay imagh.e hu.v little we sec of
aoy one cse.-pt e.nrselvcs. Luring the
day I am usually at the mine, rhieh is
g'U'd sev:n miles from hense. There I
ha.v ihe oCcitrv of the mitiers. but that
is not tho most cultivated iu the world,
as you know."
It was in the forenoon when I retch
ed my friend's- house. At twelve we
dined. After dinner we had cigars,
then a short siesta, completely relieved
me from all fatigue I had felt from my
journey. Pui ko tho . afteruaon, as I
hsd expressed great interest m the ruiue,
Juan proposed, that it agreeable to mo,
we should lid.: over and look at it.
Having several lnrses at his command,
I was easily provided with a frcdi one
in place of my own jaded beast ; and
we set out upon our way, iutendiug to
return before nightfall.
Seven miles are considered nothing
ot a ride in those Southern countries, if
it is in reality. Our path, however, was
along the side of the mountain, and for
the m.ist part over a rugued read, afford,
ing littio opportunity lor a gallop, so
that our jirogiess was but slow. We ar.
rived iu L'ood time, however, at the
mine, where the men were at work, un
der the direction ot au overseer who
had charge of tho operations, and who
kit Lima along with tho others, but
whom I forgot to mcution in speaking
ot the miueib that Juan took with him,
Some hours were speet iu. examining
tho progress which had bceu made by
the workmen, and night overtook us ere
wo had seen "all. The meu had ceased
to Wdiii, and were engageu iu taking
Miy.ner idside tin ir huts for these were
iiitiiing mure, bulkier the most part
of earth, and affording but limited ac.
commodation. The uioou had risen full
and clear iu tho east when wo bethought
us it was time to return. Leaides, we
had begun to feel au apretite for our
suppers.
"Are you armed?" asked Juan of
mo, as we prepared to mount.
''I have my revolver," I replied, put
ting my hand behind me, to see that it
was safe.
IDG WAT, PEXNA. NOVEMBER .5,
"It is well to be prepared," continued
tny frieud. '-I seldom travel at night,
and it is said them is somo lawless peo
ple abroad, though r think there is little
danger of being molested betweea here
aud tho houso.''
" Perhaps
I had better

you, said tho overseer, whoso
name
was Lesson, n. frenchman by birth.
"You might return with me in the
morning," returned Juan, who seemed
pleased with the proposal.
In less thau n 'iLtrter of an bo;ir we
wero on the road. It was a lovelv
night ; tho moon shone with unsurpassed
effulgence, rendering ,t!io wayasnlaiu
to bo followed as nt mid.day. There
was not a cloud in the sky, which was
thickly studded with stars; nud the
leaves on the trees shone like silver.
Wo had ridden a littio over five miles
when we beard through the stillness the
panting of some autmal coming towavds
us on the road.
"What can it bo?" asked licsso.l.
"It sounds like a dog," said Juau.
Ju.st at, that moment as wo reached
the base of tho mountain, and the road
stretched out straight aud level before
us, we saw a uiacK stiauow moving rati
idly along it. Tho distance lessened
with each stride of the animal, and very
booh it was piaiu 10 sr)e mat it was a Uog

us on to supper.
In lopj than it takes to tell it. tho
dog was close at our heels, panting

men returning, and barking still more
ho would rush forward again as before,
seeming almost frantic in his desire to
convey to us something which tho poor

"We bad better ride forward," said
J uan, somewhat agitated. We havo a
smooth road before us now. Aud there
mav be something wrong.
We put ypurs to our horses and started
on a sharp gallop, closely followed by
uario, oreauiitig Darucr Man ever, from
tnc long run ho had had. 1 llteen mm
utes gave us a distaut view of Joan's
house. A shrill scream, that, of a wo
man, greeted our ears as wa caught
sight of the roof shining in tho moon
light.
" Ah !" excla'uned my ftiend, " it is
Inez voice ; lor tho love of Iicavea
press forward."
Into our horses' flanks went the snurj :
away they bounded at a pace which dis.
taneed poor Carlo, who strove in vain to
keep up rith us. Juan had the fleetest

swilt was our gait, wo seemed to f.y over
tno grouud. As we neared the house,
we saw two horses standing waiting iu
the road. At the instant I saw thef-c,
two men appeared upon the scene, drag
ging between them a woman, struggling
iu vain to free herself of their grasp,
while another female clung beseechingly
holding oa as if for dear life. Tho first
of these was Inez ; the lasf, tho old negro
scrvaut, who with Carlo, had bceu her
only companions during our absence
"Let go, you black devil !" cxclaiaicd
the man with a terrible oath, dealing her
ct the earae time a terrible btaw that
f'jlled her to the ground.
Then lifting her mistress into the
saddle, where his companiou was already
seated, he vaulted into his own, and tho
two sped ou their own way like the
vind.
The villains bad the start of us, but
our (iteods were as fleet if not fleeter
than thjirs. fc'oou this last proved to
be the case, lor we gained on them rap
idly. As Juan approached, be drew a
pistol fiotn his holster and aimed it at
tne foremost, who had fast hold cf Inez
ia his saddle ; her long, streaming, black
hair lloatcd to one side, with her white
arms were stretched implorisgly towords
ue.
'Stand ! you black-hearted sccuudrel "
shouted Juan.
"Hold!" cried Eesson; "save your
fire you may iroimd her."
He had diwwn his revolver S3 well ;
he was a dead shot, as I afterwards
learned. Crack went bis pistol; the
man reeled in his saeldle, threw bis arms
wildly in tho air, aud dropped dead in
the road. Juan sprang from his horse,
and caught the lorm ol the now iosensi
ble Inez in his arms. The other rider
keptoa his way ; we heard the clatter
of his horses' hoof lessening in the disa
tance as he mado good his escape. I
turned the form of his dow prostrate
companion over ou his bcek. The face
was hidden by a mask. I uncovered it ;
tho moon shone full upon tho faco of
Autonio Miguel.
I brought water ia my hat, and we
ispriukled the pale face of Inez. After j
a time she revived. We lifted her into !
tho saddle, and bora bcr home, where
wo found the colored servant, recovering
from the effects of the blow 6bo had re.
ceived, sitting in the plaoc 6uo had fallen
wailing aud lamenting the supposed late
