CHAPTER VI.

The party from the tower came on mean
time at a rapid rate and, peeping cautious
ly from behind her hiding place, Nellie saw
that they had already reached the foot of
the hill where she and her grandfather stood
awaiting their approach. The lady-even
at that distance Nellie fancied she could
see that she was young and pretty, and,
though clad in the saddest and strictest of
Puritanic attire, anything but Puritan in
her looks and bearing-rode in front, with
the military-looking parsonage, described
already, upon one side, and n younger cav
alier, with the air likewise of q soldier, on
the other, while a couple of followers
brought up the rear. At first the three
: foremost of the party rode abreast, but, as
the uphill path began to narrow, the lady
pushed her horse ahead SO as to lead the
way, and Nellie could hear one of her com
panions shouting to her to ride cautiously
until she had turned the sharp corner of
rock behind which Nellie herself was at
that moment standing The warning came,
as warnings often do come, too late by q sin
gle second. 1t could scarcely have reached
the lady's ears ere she had dashed around
the corner. and her horse, wild and unman-
ageable enough already, plunged violently
at the unexpected apparition of Nellie and
her grandfather on the other side. 1t the
path had not widened considerably at that
spot, the struggle must have ended fatally,
and even as it was, Nellie expected every
moment to see both horse and rider roll
over the edge of the precipice to which the
heels of the former were in such fearful
proximity. The lady, however, sat him to
perfection, and after short, sharp struggle
for the mastery, she succeeded in forcing
him to rush at II wild gallop straight down
the path leading to the valley, the only safe
course of action she could possibly have
adopted.
Her companions had by this time reached
the spot where Nellie had watched the con-
test, and the younger of the two was about
to spur his horse on to the rescue, when his
older and wiser companion shouted to him
to forbear.
/" Let her be, Ormiston! Let her be!' he
cried. She knows well enough what she
is about, my Ruth. And you will but infu-
riate her horse by following at his heels"
Thus aaiHrrd, the young man addressed
as Ormiston,' had no choice but to remain
quiet. He drew in bride, therefore, beside
his chief, and watched as patiently as he
could the DOWNFALL gallop Of the lady. |

Then, when this dread strife is over,
And the day Of peace we see,

Hurrah for California /!

Union men of the Golden State, the signs of
the times warrant us in throwing high our hats
over the grand victory before us. No sane man
to-day doubts that California will prove true to
the Union by giving an immense majority for
Grant and Colfax. The Democrats are already
Respondent, and resorting to most transparent
tricks to infuse enthusiasm in the party ranks
and create confidence in their cause The Re-
publicans are jubilant, because tidings come from
valleys and mountains that the people are work
ing energetically and harmoniously for Grant
ard Colfax. Each precinct in the State is bless
ed with active club rolls, and Union meetings
are large and demOnstrative. The victory is
ours. You read it in the sanguine eyes of Union
men on every corner Of the street, in every lane
on every highway and in every house. The nat
ural law of progress breathes the glad tdings by
instinct to every heart. Democrats depend
much upon the prestige of their late success in
this State-basng their hopes upon the surface
of an accidental and temporary turn in political
affairs which died in its own work. The triumph
of the Democratic party in this State shorn
of honor by the dishonor which reflected upon
those who caused it. Where in this contest will
be found ele 800 votes cast for Fay and against
Haight? Where the 1000 Republicans who
staid away from the polls at the late State cleo
ton? All, do you not see them now, marching
in solid phalanx to cast their votes for Grant and
Colfax? And where, too, will be found large
number of men-the Sibleys and Dudleys-who
voted for Haight, and have since denounced the
Democratic party? OF the great mass of immi-
grants who have settled in our State since then,
at least two-thirds Eastern and Northern
people. Can we not read in these numbers
large Union gain? Yes, put these figures all to-
gether and what shadow of show rests upon
the wall of chance even for Seymour and Blair
The Presidential election will call out the full
Union vote, and we may expect majority for
Grant and Colfax which will again do honor to
our noble State, and contribute in patriotism to
the nation. The Carson appeal, speaking on
this subject says:
Grant suits them The Independent press knows that they
suited, Bdwe don't object and the Bulletin
and the Union and the Bee all pitching heartily for the
Chicago nominations they did for Haght last year When
the Independent volunteers and and the independent
press pull together and help the Union party of California
as they are doing, the Democracy can't win 1t i'm
possible Every day two get tidugs from the

visiting there Prudent who don't fly off at tangent
