It WHS twenty two years ago, and San Fran cisco was in her infancy. Quite a crowd bad gathered on the street, and the cen re «f attraction waa a bis; fellow, who stood with a newspafier in bis hand, raving ai d cursing. "What's the matter, Wolf?" asked a P*wcomer, who WA« evident!} famil iar with the iiate man. "Matter?" returned Wolf, for that *'as liis nauie. "matter eliough, an rough enough it'll !>e for some folks. Them young whelps thai prints this paper Las gone nil 1 pu'-hshed sonie- U:iug 'bout me. O, I'll fix em! They'd better never had been bom! They'd better go an' bill themselves af-er ten minutes; it'll he an tasier dtatn fur 'em." Wolf was a noted desperado, who, it was suiil had k lied more than twetr y men, and but a few knew him who did not fear him. lie was at that tini htefof a gang of loafers and gatulders that were nearly always to be found lounging aiouud in the vi-ini'y al luded to, aud disturbing Uie wboh tieighborbood daily with liotous con uuct. It there was anv law iu thos days it was seldom executed tigaius 1 such characters, aud in the full ctMi* scionsneaa that they were feared the* did pretty much as they pleased. The newspajier wh'.cli had given deadly offence to Wolf was a little, weekly Journal, and its office was iu 'be second story of a building on ihe sime street with the hotel 1 have mentioned, and only a few rods dis tant. It W.H pub i-died by young men —or, I might say, boys, lor they were unly eighteen aud twenty, y*ars ojd, iesne;tively—named Darrell and Kny.ies. Th.- paper aul its \ u hfu' proprietors were already «v-li known in the city of Sail Francisco. T ie article wiiich -JXcited the wrath ot the ruffian Wolf was a bo:d dentin ciation of luinself and his crowd for their l.iwless, conduct, an I particular ly uientii.'ued 'dm by nanu ci»ara§ ei - iziiig iiim as a "blustering l.uby." 1: was the work of yoilng Darrell, fearless i>oy bailing from one of the VVestern States. Define leaving bis home in tiie Mississippi Yal.ey, he had aeqnired a fair education, so that he could at least edit a newspaper in those early days; and h - possessed be sides. that courage and ilariug whicii may be nauir il iu the first place, aud whicii aie m ire thoroughly develop ed by the e\|»csure to dangers and hardships. Young Kaynes was q ii'e a dilfet'eii't kind ul [leison iu ;>uini vf - c ourage, i»eiug of a.i unusually tim orous nature. To return to the scene on Sacra mento street. Working himself up into his worst mood—aud his besr was bad enough, heaven knows— Wolf tore the paper to atoms and started for the publication office. He I WHS followed by a curious rabble, most of whom were elated with thy prosj>ect of a murder, though there wee some present who would have remonstrated with tb«j evil-hearted j man, bad they dared. "Jest yon watch," said Wolf, as he ! reached the door, "if ye want to see j t.ieir bloody carcasses tumble out o' ' the wiudow/ It won't be loug I | dou't sj enu much time on sicb tel- | lere." It was the intention of the cruel- | heartel man actually to Cut the j throats of the two boush journalists ; slid throw tbeir bodies out of the | window, for the gratidcation of the I crowd and the further exaltation of 1 his already fearful name. So, the inob on the street awaited the issue witii feverish expectation,nß Wolf,flourish- ' ing his knife and revolver, entered tbemde frame building and rushed up stairs. All unconscious of their danger, the two yon ug editors were jusiiy engaged pursuing their usual work in their primitive office, If they bad heard the noise without they had |*aid no attention to itsuppusiug it was merely a street row such as they were a ecus tomed to hear every day. Darrell GRAHAM, N. C-, TUESDAY JANUARY 8 1878 was sitting at a rude table writing, aud Kaynes was sitting at the counter arranging some papers for the mail. They heard the clatter ol hi av\ hoots on the stairs, but supposed it waa some rough miner coniii g up to *i'-scribe for the paper, or perhaps to see * lawyer who occupied a coup e >i rooms on tbe same floor; lor the build iiig was only a two-story one, and the second floor was occupied exclusively by them aud an attorney— their room* b ; »i«: separated from his by a narrow hallway that was reached by tlie fligli' of stairs alluded to. 'Ah-ha! I've got ye. my voting imps!' exclaimed the desperado,burst ing in. Kaynes recognized him and turned pale. Being at the counter which laced Ibe door aud extended across the room, he was naturally die lirsi mark for Wol.'s vengeance. young devils!' he hissed scowl ing like a madman. 'Ye'll never write nor print notliiu' more 'boui me!' Here he floutished his kuile a«d revolver above bis head. 'l've got a sure thing ou both ot ve! Saying this be looked about him, with a care mi scrutiny, to see that there was no means of escape for the quiet youth at ilie table, who, of course, would IK t dato lo jump over thecouu:er ami try to pass him, but would cower down with fright in a coiner and take his luru.at being killed; then lie reached across the counter and 'seized Kaynes by Ibe hair, which was UII> fortunately very long. (\tiliug the terrified young man's Jocks around (lie great coarse tlngi is of t!.e leit baud, Woll laid his revol ver upon the counter, without tin. slightest apprehension that nis youtb -1 til adversary would sn..lch it up and use it on liim, as he might have done bad he |K»ssessed the nerve, Ifien flourshetl his big gleaming knife de liberately, with pure tlevilfsh'iets prolonging Kaynes' terror aud pain. 'Now pray, you young itn!' t,i hisss ed. 'You've got a couple o' secom.a «r so left—just while I'm clippiu' yer cars otl.

Such was Wolf's reliance on (he tenor his name everywhere inspired i hat be never dreamed of resistance.

Had Darrell possessed no more nerve than Kav ues there can be no doubt but that t.iey would bo'u have bsen murdered then aud there in exact accordance with Wolf's pro* gramme. , ' lime!' he said, grinding bin teeth in an ecdacy of rage and drawing Kay lie's white face closer lo his own repulsive countenance.
