AFTER MORENGO.

Early one morning in the month OF
June, I started from the camp, mount
ed on one of the toughest California
mustangs that ever followed trail l
was the leader of party engaged by the
stage agent to ferret out and bring to
Justice, if possible, a notorious gang OF
road agents. We al entered into the
spirit of the enterprise with will, for
we had been longing for some kind OF
adventure, as fully amonth had passed
since the "dry season" had set in, and,
on account of the scarcity OF water, we
were obliged to abandon our claims I'M
til the winter rains. So it was with JOY
that We embraced the opportunity that
now presented itself for consuming
portion Of the long, tedious interval. We
had been engaged in this most agreea-
BILE work for some weeks without many
favorable results; and, on the morning
referred to, ] decided to try my luck
nnaccompanied by the other members
of the party. SO started out u day in
advance; and, in the afternoon, at the
time mentioned, was winding my way
along narrow trail-having left the
stage-road far behind and, from the
fresh imprints in the trail, l was con-
WINGED it had been traversed but short
time previous. l had never, at any pre-
yious time, penetrated so far into this
forest of chaparral aad incipient oaks;
1t was the densest had ever seen, and
the trail that led into it was the most
tortuous and serpentine of any l had
ever travelled. But, as / had never be-
fore struck trail that did not lead to
some place, concluded that this one
led somewhere also. This conclusion
was soon verified, when sudden turn
brought me into n natural clearing Of
some 500 or GOO yards in circumference,
in the center of which stood house
and barn. Now, thought l, my efforts
have been rewarded with success, here
is the rendezvous of the notorious Me
rengo gang. At that moment my mus
fang whose best feelings were evident
" aroused by the sight of the barn, gave
vent to very spirited and prolonged
whinny. l had not sufficient time to
turn and get under cover OF the ehapar-
raj before a dog-a most savage and
MISUNDERSTANDING brute-made his APP
pearance, and, taking in the situation,
was making straight line in my direc-
ton, when to my great relief, and no
less to my surprise, the door of the
house flew open and a lady appeared,
whose quick order: s....
Tiger, Tiger! come back here, sir;
accompanied by an emphatic stamp of
her foot. brought the enraged animal
covering back. N
wont you come in, sir?' she said,
addressing me; -you must be very much
fstie.ed.- And in almost the same breath
cried; -Ah Toy, All Toy! come and put

"Who do you suppose lived there?"
I asked, with sinking heart.
"Why, Morengo, of course" was the
confident answer. "a.
"What proof did you find?" asked,
quickly, grasping at straw Of hope.
"Well," said he, "we found about
dozen mail-bags, and as many broken
express boxes in the barn. Isn't that
proof enough:"
I thought I was dreaming; I could
not speak.
Another knock at the door reused me
somewhat. and another of the party
entered and said the agent would like
to see me. I fastened to the stage.of-
fee, where the remainder of the party
were assembled. Not word Of greet

Nobody" said one Of the party;
"twa'nt sealed"
I unfolded it quickly and read these
words, traced in the same matchless
hand that the stanzas I had read the
previous day were:
Compliments Of Juanita Morengo."
AS the agent saw the different ex-
pressions of my face, he said:
"This is very remarkablep irs
1 gazed blankly at the sheet; again
were the incidents Of the previous day
recalled; 1 remembered with VIVID
distinctness the fathers remark OF his
daughters proficiency in the use OF the
lariat; L remembered the soft, white
hand that had touched my face as IN
hailed the fumes of the opiate;
thought of the deserted house, the mall
bags, the express boxes. My eyes grew
dim; my knees shook; my heart
seemed to be forcing itself up into my
throat; was suffocating. 1t was all
plain now. Yet, as I staggered out INTO
the open air, I repeated the words the
agent had uttered:
Yes-it-is-very-remarkable."

arms pinioned to my side as though a

Quick as a fash of lightning the
thought struck me: " A lariat-I am
lassooed," and at the same time made q
desperate struggle to seize the knife
which 1 carried in my belt to sever the
strands of the lariat that encircled me,

masked face above me, and a white

POETICAL.
The Example.

Haply along lIfe's weary ways,
Thickset with uncongenial tasks,
Some userweighted toIer stays
His hand from labor, while he asks
"Wheref re shall these burdens bear
That others ought, at least, to shareY
al. since the DAYS march was begun,
Have spent my strength nor turned aside,
From any service to be done,
Nor grudged ms pleasures, selt-deniedj
Yea, have even counted gain,
For the worlds sake, my loss and pain.
But now nv soul Is yexed; for why
Should duty have no law-for these
Who with averted looks pass by.
Or sit with folded hands at easeg
Why should | suffer more than they
The heat and burden of the day3"
How many spirit fretted sore
With the worlds cold indifference
Has turned such questions DER and Ger,
Still haunted with the restless sense
OF doubt and wondering distrust
Would these things be II God were just!
Alb. me the WAYS Of God with men
No man that lites can ind them out;
Who graspf at things beyond his ken,
Is tossed on shoreless seas about.
Yet, In tho thicke.t OF the night
For eyes that see there shall be light
What time we nurse our discomfort
Rather, instead, should We recall,
How once In servants guise He went
Who was the Master of Us all;
Nor any work whereby was wrought
The Fathers will, too irksome thought
Need any be disquIeted
Whose hearts this memory inclose -
Who follows where the Lord has led,
hat aftar IL IL where ne COcsv
For working with Him, side by eide,
The meanest life is giorihed.
