Timms' Strategy.

STORY OF CALlfokNlA.
Mapes was chivalrous by nature be
believed in seeking the bubble reputation.
even in the cannon's mouth His en-.
thusiasm was aroused by the recital of
stories Of deeds OF desperate daring while
he had nothing but contempt for even
success won by crooked and indirect
means. Timms, on the contrary, believ.
ed there was policy in war, and that the
end justified the means, particularly if
the end was attained. Companions from
infancy, their lives had been spent iu
competition for scholastic and such other
honors as the locality afforded, without
even momeDtary break in their friend
ship. But now, in early manhood, they
struggled for prize incalculable value,
with an order that threatened complete
rupture Of friendly relations. The heart
and hand Of Eliza Reed. the neigh bor.
hood belle, were to be won; and to these
none others might aspire, in the face of
such formidable competition as that of
Daniel Mapes and Sias Timms.
Coquetry is delicious to a woman and
Eliza would not have been feminine had
she been in haste to have made an elec-
ton. Nevertheless, she did not intend
to miss her oportunity. She knew well
the war could not always last, and feared
that when one Of the aspirants for hei
favor withdrew from the contest, the love
of the other, wanting the stimulus Of
competition, would grow cold hence she
had made up her mind, that, upon the
first favorable opportunity, she woulC
signify to Mapes that his suit, so otter
pressed, was at last accepted. The op
portunity, it seemed, was not to be Ions

"The Pacific mail steamer Bienville
sailed from New York on Saturday, Au.
gust 10, for Aspinwall, under the com.
mand of Captain Jefferson Maury, with
sixty-two passengers and crew of sixty.
i've persons and laden with general mer-
chandise. The weather was very fair
and the sea calm, and nothing occurred
worth notice until the morning of Thurs
day, August Is. At about 4 A. NJ. l
was awakened by the stopping of the en-
gine and al unusual tramping on the
deck. | presently arose and dressed my.
self At that time the ships surgeon,
DR.. Badger, passed my door, and in an.
swer to inquiry Informed me that
THE SHIP WAS on FIRE,
and that all must 90 Immediately on deck.
Waiting only to put on strong pair Of
boots, went up aud there found on the
terdeck the greater part of the per-
sons on board the ship. Whatever ex-
citement might have been felt it was
wholly without manifestation. All we're
busiy, but quietly disposing themselves
for the dreadful emergency that none
doubted to be Immediately upon us,though
none knew whether the interval was TO
be measured by moments or longer space
Of time. Meeting the captain, he told
me that the fire was forward that the
steam pump had broken almost at the
starting, but that they had succeeded in
throwing the steam into the hold, and he
hoped with some success in smothering
the fire. He requested me to remain in
the gangway and to do all in my power
to quiet aiy excitement that might arise
among the passengers. Preparations for
disembarking the passengers and crew
were progressing rapidly and smoothly,
So far as | could observe every man
knew his duty and did it with all his en-
ergy. 1t is to be presumed that at that
hour and under the circumstances no one
thought of refreshment, but by direction
of the captain the steward prepared and
placed on deck coffee and food, and the
passengers we're directed to take it, and

right hand. A near look assured Mapes
tn 1t he had no occasion for weapons the
coming man was of middle aye, but his
look was worn, weary, detected, and hope
less-in local phrase, his manner was
that of person who has 'lost his grip ;
and those who have met that terrible
misfortune are never highway robbers,
grip being the very quality wanted in
that hazardous pursuit.
The travellers met, with long inquir-
ing gaze, when from their lips simutane-
ously burst the words, "Mapes"-"Timms." ."

squirting his mustang, drew nearer to
Timms.
