while Striker is in oiled canvas, and Davis in ducks and Guernsey shirt. Their toilets complete, all come together to talk of future actio . - Breakfast has been already eaten; cold though cooked provisions brought away from the barque. And now comes the matter of great- est moment—the spoils. Some may be thinking of another matter-— are; but the majority have their minds on the division of the gold-dust. It is done in little time, and with no great trouble. The bags containing it are ripped open, and the metal is measured out in a boat’s pannikin, a like number of measures apportion- ed to each, round and round. . In money-value no one knows the exact amount of his share. Enough satisfaction that it is as much as he can carry, and for easier transport will require distribution into every pocket on his person. After each has appropriated his pile, a short time is spent in packing up and preparing for the inland journey. About this arises the ques- tion what way ought: they to make it? It has already been resolved to strike for the city of Santiqo. Are they to separate into several . traveling parties, or go all together? The former plan is proposed by Gomez, and supported by Padillo, Hernandez, and Velardc. Gomez givos the reason : A large party such as they traveling afoot, along roads where pedestrians are never by any chance encountered, can not fail to excite curiosity. It. would cause questioning, perhaps lead to their being arrested and taken before some akalde or juez depaz. If so, what story can they tell i‘ On the other hand, there will be the chance of coming in contact with Indians; and as some of those on the Veraguan Coast are re- puted “ Indios bravos,” having preserved their independence, and along with it their instinc- tive hostility to the whites, an encounter with the savages might be even more dangerous than with civilized men. Struggling along in squads of two or three they would save the risk of get- ting captured or killed, perhaps tortured! This is the suggestion of Harry Blew; not favorably received. Only Davis and Striker stand out for it. All the others go against; Gomez ridiculing the idea of danger from the red-men; at the same time enlarging on that. to be apprehended from whites. As the ma— jority of the robbers—.outlaws every one-liave more reason to fear civilized men than the so- called savage, it ends in their deciding for Separa- tiou. They can come together again in Santia- go, if they choose, or not if chance, for good or ill, so determine. They are all amply provided for playing an independent part of the drama of their future lives; and with this pleasant proSpect they can part company without a sigh of regret. And now that the rufllan band is ready to break up, what more is to be done? Ah! there is something yet. Still another question to be discussed, and determined. To most of them it isamatter of not much—though to others of all consequence. To two in par~ ticular. For to them it. has been the source, the primary motive, the true stimulus to all their iniquitous action. In a word it is the women 3' CHAPTER LXVIII. A DELIOATE SUBJECT. THE captives—how are they to be disposed of ? > It is not Gomez who asks the question; nor yet Hernandez. nor any one. On the subject. all have been hitherto silent, as if shy of approaching it. And all remain So, not a word about it passing their lips, not a sign to betray their intentions. The girls are still within the grotto, the sail- cloth drawnacross screening them from sight. They see not what is passing outside, no more do they hear. They have had their breakfast served to them ;‘ but no word of warningas to what they may expect after. They but. know what has beenztold them by De Lara and Cal- demo, and something communicated later by the sailor Blew. Being Spanish, 3 sort of understanding gains ground that they are to go with those who speak their‘own tongue. ‘ Or rather they with them, for the four Spaniards have signified their intention to remain on the sea-shore, leav- ing the others to proceed inland. Only for a day, to give ostensible distinctness to the sepa- rate traveling parties, and so safety to all. r Beyond this there has been nothing mention- ed, save Certain hints thrown out from time to time, by Gomez and Hernandez asserting their claim to this particular portion of the spoils; they have spoken of a former acquaintance with the ladies in San Francisco, and a chap ter of love-making alluded to. In short, they have given out that the girls are old sweet- hearts. This title, if need be, they now intend to urge, as aclaim for their special appropriation. No one has yet disputed it, since no one has spoken .on the subject. But now that it is be- fore them, and must be definitely settled, it be- comes clear, every moment clearer, that it is not to be tacitly conceded, but, on the contrary, keenly and passionately con-tested. There is an electricity in the air that tells this; and there is a fixed expression on the faces of two men —-not Gomez and Hernandez—which proclaims their determination . also to claim the cap- tives. .l'l‘hese men are "Harry Blew and Bill Davis, who, standing apart, have as yet made no preparation for the inland journey; but seem as if they a‘so intendel ti stay by the sea- shore. With a fiery glanCe in their eyes they stand conferring together, at. the same time their attitude of earnest attention shows they are expecting some one to speak. The very reticence hitherto observed shows that the subject is deemed sorious-the ground delicate, and dangerous. For several minutes more no one ventures to tread on it. Some appear to busy themsclVes about their packs, while others stand: watching La (boss‘s, who has gone up the gorge to make a recon- naissance, see liow things show inland, and whether the coast is clear. There is one who chutes at the inaction, and resolves to bring it to an end. 9 This is Jack Striker, the “Sydney duck," least of all given to shilly-shallylng or senti- mentalism. First uttering a shout. to attract general attention, he bursts out : “ Well, chums 1 what to be done wi’ the wim- men ‘2” w r ‘ “ Oh! they,” answers Gomez. in a drawling tone, and with an ntl'ectation of indifference. “ You’ve got. nothing to do with them; and need not take any trouble. They go with us, Senor Hernandez and myself.” “ Do they, indeed l." sharply interrogates Hurry Blew. ’ ' “Of . course," answers Gomez, Hernandez putting in a Word to the same import. “I don’t see any of course about it,” rejoins Blew. ” And more’n that, I’ll be cursed if they do go wi’ ye~leastwise, not so cheap as ye think for.” “ illcddt‘ta! what do you mean asks the Spaniard, kindling with anger, at the seine time showng a certain uneasiness. ' “No use your losin’ temper, Gil Gomez, . Your Spanish cursin’ ain’t goin’ to scare me. . ’l‘heret’oro, ye’mayhs well keep cool. By doin" that, an listenin’, you’ll l’arn what I mean. The which is, that you an’ Hernandez have no more right to them creetur’s in the cave than any 0’ the rest 0’ us. J ustas it’s been with the gold, so ought it be with the girls. In course we can’t divide them all round; but that’s no reason why any two should take ’em, so long’s any other two wants ’em as well. Now I want one 0’ them.” “ I, too i” It is Davis who thus promptly announces himself a candidate. “ Yes,’f continues Blew. “ And though I may be a bit older than yourself, Mr. Gomez, and not quite so grand a gentleman, I can like a pretty wench just as well as you. I’ve taken a fancy to the one wi’ the tortoise-shell hair, an’ ain’t goin’ to surrender her in the slack way you appear to wish.” ‘ Glad to hear it,” says Davis. “Blew, as I’m for the black one, there’s no rivalry be- tween us. Her I mean to have, unless some better man can hinder me.” “ Well," says Striker, “ as I first put the questyun, I suppose I’ll be allowed to gi’e an opeenyun.” None saying nay, the (ax-convict. proceeds. “As to any one hevin’ a special claim to them wimmin, nobody has, an’ nobody could have. About that Blew’s right, an’ so‘s Bill. Now, since the thing ’3 disputed, it oughtcr be settled in a fair an’ square fashun—” “ You needn’t waste your breath,” interrupts Gomez. “I admit no dispute in the matter. If these gentlemen insist, there’s but one way of settling. One of these ladies is my sweet- heart— *as before I ever saw any of you. Senor Hernandez can say the same of the other.” “ It’s a lie!” cries Blew, confronting the slan- derer, and looking him straight in the facv. “A lie, Gil Gomez, from the bottom 0’ your black heart; the ladies never was any thing to such as you i” “ Enough i" exclaims De Lara, now red with rage. “No man can give me the lie and live after.” . “ I’ll live long enough to see you under ground, or, what’s more like, hangin’ wi’ your throat in a halter. Don’t make any mistake, shipmate; I can shoot st raigbt as you.” ‘ “ Avast. there i” calls Striker to Gomez, sce- ing the latter about to draw his pistol. “ Hands off 0’ that wcepun! If there must be a fight, it shall he a fair one." _ While speaking, Striker steps between the ftwo men, staying their encounter. (T o bebontinuad— Commemed in No. 172. )‘ Taking a Bufly the Horns. BY HENRI MONTCALM. Miss VAVASOUR, in aCCordance with her usual custom, had blessed Newport with her presence through the months of July and Au- gust; she was now to carry out the rest of her annual programme by spending a few weeks among the hills of Massachusetts. “ For,” cried 31138 Vavasour, enthusiastically, “ we may , race. forgot himself and thought only of her. get through the hot weather at the seaside; but one must go into the country to enjoy our beautiful fall.” ‘ 9 She took with her to Wamscutt four Saratoga trunks, a French poodle and her fiance. The last named article deserves a paragraph by himself. ' _ ' ‘ “Miss Vavasour’s fiance" was of the germs Exquisite. Ills form, though not over large, was calculated to arouse a tailor to the display of his highest art. His eyes, nose and mustache were born for each other and were respectively faultless. He worcsix and three-quarter kid gloves, and his boots were darling. Yet think not that Louis Arnold was altogether foppish ; he had his good points. He could ride, row, swim, and, for all I know, tight very well in- deed. Ilc once won a silver cup in a yacht He played the guitar as well as he did billiards, and he had a ’inagniticent tenor voice. Besides, he was rich, and on that account en- titled to the reader’s respect. He had wander- ed np and down the world, year after year, until one day he saw Miss Vavasour. Then; be u a week he was at her feet. But the beautiful ice- berg, who was known to have rejected one hundred and nine offers already, regarded him with cool indifference. He persisted, offering himself again and again. She grew tired of saying no, and merely shook her head. This encouraged him to still further persevere, and, at last, in a fit of ennui, she consented. ‘ - “ I’ll wear your ring,” she said, yawning be- hind her fair hand, “and when I see a man I like better,-I’ll marry him.” So much is necessary by way of preface. We now come to our story, merely notifying the reader that Mr. Louis Arnold is by no means its hero. No, John Valjohn is cast for the leading gen— tleman of this little drama—though you might have called him Hercules as he stood there in the sunset light, his brawny arm displayed upon the . farm-house gate, and his brown eyes wandering off over the woods and across the river into the far beyond. For John Valjohn, as is but natu~ ' ral in young college graduates, was dreaming—— dreaming of the beautiful future before him; and he had forgotten all about the supper he _ had been waiting for, and which was now wait- ing for him. A vision coming directlybetween him and the glowing west aroused him from his reverie. He rubbed his eyes in a bewilder- ed manner, for his first thought was that Juno had halted her phueton before the gate, brings ing Paris along to hold her sunshade. “ What a imtgniticeut-looking animal," thought Miss Vavasour, “ and what a pity he is only a boorish farmer.” So her tone was rather patronizing as she said, aloud : “I understood that Mrs. Valjohn Would be willing to take a lady boarder, and I like the place so well that I shall stop here if she will locate.” - Of course the reader will understand that Miss Vavasour would leave her frames at the Wamscutt Hotel. Hercules, assured by the sound of her voice that J uno Was human, after all, surprised her by answering in a manner as polite and selll possessed as her own. Ills mother was to be alone during the fall, and would be very glad of a lady boarder. Then he led the way into the house, where the matter was quickly ar- ranged to the satisfaction of all parties. Late after supper, promising to return next morning with the phaeton, Mr. Arnold drove away, leavin Miss Vavasour in the hospitable hands of the widow Valjohn. ’ ‘ The reader has been given to understand that Miss Vavasour was beautiful. lie may also have guessed that she was rich. When he comes to know her Well, as John Valjohn did in the three works that he. remained at home, after her arrival, he will discover also'tliat she was sensible. A fashionable education and two NOW'York seasons had not been able to” destroy the common sense which was the {tabulation other character. When his eyes first fell upon her, John had thought of Juno, and all that. first evening at slipper, and after- ward on the porch as she sat and talked to Ar— nold in the twilight, he still felt that she was exactly like that goddess—«haughty and heart- less. Nevertheless, in that she was a goddess, not many hours could pass before he began to worship her; and in the more intimate inter" course that followed, when he came to know that a true woman existed beneath that cold exterior, you may be sure his worship develop- ed into that blind adoration of which strong natures like ‘his are so capable. As for him, Miss Vavasour had been struck at the outset by his physical appearance. Later she was sur- prised to find in the brown and bearded young further the manners and conversation of a gen- tleman. He was so different from anybody she had ever known before that he began to inte- rest her. Coming down to breakfast late that first morning she heard him come in and in- quire of his mother, in an acccut that. could not have been aquired outside of Paris, if Mademoi- selle Dedaiyneusc had not yet come down. “ So,” thought she, “Hercules speaks French, does he ‘3" This fact flattered her prejudices, and he rose many degrees in her estimation. When he was away in the fields that after- noon she condesccnded to encourage the fond mother to talk of her son, and was still more surprised to learn that he was a Harvard gradu- ate, had seen foreign countries, and Was soon to embark in the legal profession. All this knowl- edge eauscd her to treat. him as an equal; and when, a week later, his ardent glances spoke a passion which he thought too well of himself to Conceal, she did not look upon that passion as presumptuous at all, but rather she was pleased to notice it. Not that she was in love with him. Oh, no! He had called her Lady Disdainful. and, in- deed, she was not the woman to bestow her af- fections, unasked, upon a comparative stranger —especiully while sue wore the ring of another man. And he, did he not see that ring? Yes; but he Could not and would not believe that a wo- man like Caroline Vavasour could seriously in- tend marrying such a man as Arnold. She seemed to treat her intended like any thing but, a lover, and more than once. had John heard her speak to Louis of the many scheming mam- mas who had sought to secure him, and one of whose fair daughters he would some time or other make happy. Poor John puzzled over this state of things a great deal; but at. the end of a fortnight he made up his mind that his love for Miss Vara- sour was such as to warrant every honorable means of winning her, and he swore to himself that there was nothing dishonorable in saving her from such a man as Arnold. For to John Louis had shown his worst side, always treat- ing him with a supercilious contempt that proved him no gentleman. So matters stood at; the end of Miss Vava- sour‘s third week at; Valjohn farm. It was Saturday afternoon, and John was to leave home for a long while on the following Mon- day. It so happened that Miss Vavasour had taken it into her head to go on a nutting expe~ dition, and John had tremblingly volunteered to accompany her. He was just congratulating himself that he should have an opportunity of coming to an understanding before he went. away, when Arnold drove up and was invited by his lady—love to join them. She had a way lately of. taking them off together upon excur- sions on the river, or into the woods, and amus- ing herself by varying the loving glances they cast upon her with the daggers they looked at each other. » a As Arnold accepted her invitation, she saw a look of bitter disappointment come over John’s sunburnt face, and for the first time her heart smote her. She stood on the porch, thought- fully swinging her hat by the strings. W hat was she doing? Was it not a terrible thing to play with. the noble heart of a strong man like John Valjohn? She had smiled upon him, encouraged him, and now that look had told her that he was going to speak before he went away. And what should she say to him ? Not yes, certainly. She was engaged to Arnold; and though she had chosen to accept him in so equivocal a fashion, she really liked him, and had intended, sooner or later, to marry him. Poor John! She called him so, softly, to her- self, and resolved that she would be very kind to him. Then he would go away, and they would probably never see each other again, and it would be better for them both. So it was John’s hand she took when a stone- wall as to be surmounted, or a brook to be crossed, even though Arnold's was always ex- tended ; and once when they came to a running stream, with the plank-bridge washed away, she let John half-lead, half-carry her across the stepping-stones. So much for the demoralizing efi‘ects of coun- try life. What would some of her Newport friends have thought to have seen her in the arms of this rustic Apollo? And to John were her liveliest sallies addressed, and her most. be- witching glances directed, for this one after— noon. ‘ Poor fellow, I say again. What wonder that he took heart of graco, and resolved that he would, at anyjrate, see her tomorrow, foolish- ly thinking he would succeed. The September sun was low down in the west as they turned toward home that night; and they hurried along “cross-lots,” by stile and meadow-path, so as not to makeMrs. Val- john wait. supper for them. They were cross- ing a large field, being now nearly in its center, Arnold walking moodin in advance, and John striding along at Miss Vavasour’s side. Sud- denly the lady uttered a cry; her eyes, dilated with horror, were fixed upon a distant corner of the field. John followed her glance, and the instant he saw the cause of her terror, he, too, was startled. For far better than she, he knew the danger they were in. A large bull, an ob- ject of dread to the entire neighborhood, had somehow got. into this particular field, where he had no" business to be, and was now charg— ing upon them at the top of his speed. Long before they could reach the wall the animal would be upon them ; and then—«John groancd in agony at the thought—what would become 0f the woman at his side? She looked up at him, saw the agony in his face, and gave 9. despairing shriek. “ Oh, what shall we do ?” she cried. Arnold looked around as she spoke, and com- prehending the situation at a glance, turned pale asdeath. ‘ “ Great. Heavens!" he cried, “ we shall all be killed. Let us run to the wall—«comef’ and he was starting off at a rapid paco when a hoarse voice stopped him: - , “ Hold 1” shouted Valjohn; “how is Miss Vavasour to keep up with us? Quick! take her other arm, and we may yetreuch the wall.” _ Arnold paused,shained into obedience by the stern tierccness of the other. Together they Vlragged' her rapidly as possible over half the space intervening between them and safety. And she, the haughty, the proud, the spirited Miss Vava.sour——-Oh, let her not sink too low in the reader’s estimation on that ttCt“()lllll—-—W0- men always faint at sight of a. bull-—shc, half dead with fright, could only submit to be so dragged along. As for the hull, he was making very good use of his ‘lllllt? indeed, and though they dared not leok behind an instant, they could hear his heavy tramp as he rushed upon them. \ But no; it could never be done! could they have abandoned their helpless bur- den, the two men might have saved themselves; but that, of course, was out of the question. 'headtirst against the wall; have saved her, and, by heaven, she is mine! Even now, John’s quick eye fell upon a large stone :1 rod before them. “Louis,” he shouted, for the first time calling Arnold by his given name, “you must get her to the wall. I will stop the bull somehow.” . IIe let go Miss Vavasour’s arm, and, snatch- ing up the stone, turned ‘ust in time to meet the infuriated animal. ' ‘he bull seemed as- tonished and made a move to avoid him; but John took a step one side, planting himself di- rectly before him, and, as he came rushing on, hurled the stone with all his might straight be- tween his eyes. The blow was a fearful one, even for the skull of a bull, and the beast stopped short, stunned by it for a moment. John never stood to watch its effect, but the moment he had let go the stone turned again, and, fleet as a deer,“ in a moment had regained Miss V avasour’s side and was once more urging her onward. “ For Heaven’s sake, Miss Vavasour,” he cried, breathlessly, “ bear up a little. You must try and help yoursclf. He will 'be upon us in a moment worse than ever.” His words seemed to arouse her. She turned her glorious eyes up to his with a look which he knew then to he love and nothing less; but alas! her limbs refused to carry her. That look, even at St) terrible a moment, sent. a thrill through him, for it assured him that. could he have saved her she might haVe been his. llark ! They heard the bull pounding along behind them, snorting hotly, a thousand times more furious than before. John looked about. him once more. Alas, no stone this time ! Only a short rod to the wall now, but they could almost feel the fierce breath of the bull behind. Then did Arnold’s true character come out. Tints far he had been able. though thoroughly frightened for himself, to keep by Miss Va 'a- sour’s side and assist her steps. But now, with safety so nearly within his 1“thl|, some evil spirit prompted him to look over his shoulder. To his terror-stricken sense the bull seemed al« ready within a few inches of his person. For- getting every thing but his terror, with a wild yell, he dropped his share of their fainting bur- den and broke away for the wall! John felt the increased weight on his own arm, and saw the dastard shoot ahead and (‘ltlllllwl‘ ovor the wall. His teeth came together with a sharp click, which boded no good for his rival should he, too, come. forth alive. Then he saw how near the hull was and he groaned aloud. The. animal scented already to have lowered his head to attack them. John snatched Miss Vava'sour in his arms. “Oh, my darling, my darling,” he murmured, and staggered forward a few steps; then he dropped her on the ground and turned at bay, setting his teeth in terrible despair. The hull was already upon him, but. surprised at John‘s unexpected attitude, turned his head slightly to one side. * Calm with the calmness that has lost all hope, John saw a chance for delaying him yet a moment. In an instant, with grip of iron. be had grasped the horns of the bull, turned with him, and, partly himself down along by the headlong charge of the beast, partly by pushing him one side with all his might and main, he staggered toward the wall. But now he saw what. filled him with fresh strength. Miss Vavasour had managed to reach the wall,*yet had fallen prostrate there. But Arnold, having recovered smnething of his courage and pride, reclimbed the wall, seized the senseless form of his betrothed, and in an- other instant they two at least Were in safety. Never for a single moment did John’s pre- sence of mind forsake him. He was now close under the wall, a little further down, still hold— ing the bull by the horns. Butno man could have thus controlled the brute another instant. John knew that it was now cunever with him. Again summoning all his strength, by an almost superhuman might be fairly forced the animal then with one bound he was over, falling headlong and dizzy upon'the round. Safe all three of them at last, and tie bull bellowing and tossing the earth upon the other side. As he lay there, with his eyes closed, J ohn’s first impulse was to faint ; but pride came to the rescue. Faint? What, he who had pulled in univer- sity races time and time again till all was blue, and neVer fainted in his life? No; he opened his eyes wide, and saw them bending over him—the woman whom he had saved and “101111111 who had descrted them both. Miss Vavasmtr was the proud Miss Vavasour still; but her eyes were brimful of tears and she had his hand in hers. “How do you feel, my flue fellow?” asked Arnold, in the old patronizing way. “ You‘ve done a good job for Caroline and for me to— dav.” ' John Started upright. The way in which his rival coupled Caroline’s name with his own was more than he could bear. He sat and glancod fiercely at him a moment; then, rather impolitely it must he confessed, taking Arnold’s words out of his month, he cried : “‘ Caroline and me’l You poltroonl You did have a claim on her; but now it is I who And if you open your cowardly head again, I’ll fling you back to the bull.” V Rather strong language, perhaps; but. the reader must remember that John was excited by his tussle with the bull. Poor fellow, he had no sooner uttered these words than he fell back and fainted, with his head in Carolina’s lap. . lie was taken home, and that evening, quite well again, he had his understtuiding with Miss Vavasour. The next morning, when Louis Ar- nold came over to inquire after his ntistress,she gave him back his ring; and he began to com— prehend that she had met a man whom she “ liked better than she did him."
