I was one of these un- lortunato . sufferers ; but as-1 never hes itated long in carrying out a resolution which I had formed, it was not many months later whn I arrived in the 'gol den land, without a cent in my pock- et, . 1 I. was " hard up" far some time after arrived, but luck soon chand. nn,i y month or two later, I found myself in possession of a vfrv fino V claim."

' There were four gambling and drinking saloons in the place, which, I am sorry to say, were well patronized. Tins aptfy illustrates an old German' Pfovcrbt " As it is earned, so is it -ient." Trom my description of the '.Place, you will rlgh My judge, that we had some very hard characters among us. The bowie knife: and revolver were continually resorted to, to settle disputes nd avenge real or fancied in ults. A vigilance committee, with ' Judge Ljnch as their highest judicial authority;, had restored things to some. Hung like order; though, at its best,it Was bad enough. . On the evening of a certain day in November, after myadyent, the room w the. (Miners1 IUtrcat," a tavern and gambling hell of the worst kind, j was filled by a motley crew, composed r miner, border roughs, Mexican . ranchcros and half-breed Indians. It was a fearful night out, dark as eHVand with the rain pouring down in torrents, while the hollow . nes 0f thunders reverberated over the mountains, which, when lit up by J1 lurid lightning, seemed to tremble beneath the terrible wrath of tbe storm ing. My chum, Charlie Seaton, and yelf. were Overtaken by the storm, d. as the liners' Retreat" was the ;Jtplace'of.refngo.at hand, we Prclin. ,We took a scat at a ta- VOL. 2. 1 1 . . uie.in an out ot-the-way corner of-' the room, and. after ordering some of the distilled poison which they sold there for liquors, we lit our pipes and en deavored to make the best of our rrcs enfc unpleasant situation. After paf- nng away tor some time in silence, Lharlic turned to me and said t " I hear, JCed, that you've been im mensely lucky ; what thejdeuce doyou do with all your dust? You never sell any, or gamble, and you can't keep it an your tent, assuredly." i lenew 1 could trust Charlie with my life, if necessary, so I plied, re t( Well, you see, my lloy, I've only been with you three weeks, and you're the hrst chum 1 had, simply because " it.'. e -r . . r "... . juu its tue nrsc one l took a liking to. Do you know old Rube, the trapper, wno lives in the woods about three miles from here," with .his' adopted daughter, Annette f" Charlie responded affirmatively, and 1 continued, - "Well, the old man seems to think a good deal of me, and, as I know I can trust him. I let him keep my pile, ana a nice one it is somewhere in the neighborhood of fifteen thousand dol lars worth of dust.- Six months more, Charlie, and I'm off for tb.3 East." h "With old Rube's daughter," added Charlie, smiling. While the foregoing conversation was jn progress, we had not perceived a tall, yellow-skinned Mexican watch ing us, and taking in every word 1 we uttered. We paid our reckoning and rose -to go. As I was leaving the place, I felt my arm grasped nervously, and, as I turned, I beheld a half-breed boy, whom I had saved, some time previ ous, from being maltreated by an over grown rowdy, commonly known as "Guzzling Jim.' The boy whispered hurriedly as ho passed me, - "Mr. Ned, bedder look out. Guz zle Jim and Benito, de Mexican, gono rob an' kill ole Rube, and git all youse dust," . y This was enough for me to hear, and without waiting for. Charlie to follow, I plunged into the darkness without, fully dotermined to foil the rascals, and punish them, if possible. The rain stilUcame down as thoudi the floodgates of heaven had been thrown wide open. Flash upon flash of light. ning illuminatod my path, while the .forest giants that had withstood the storms ef a thousand years, threatened to yiel(to the fury of this one. The two ruffians had the, start of me, and I as .naturally anxious to foil them ; so, hurrying on as fast as the intense dark ness' xould, permit, I soon traveled about one Half the distance to Rube's j cabin. Meanwhile the storm hadlull ed, and was about to pass away, when I discovered, to my great dis may, that I had lost my way in the darkness. ! Still I pressed on, ; and at last mv vigilant outlook was rewarded. I saw. a little way in front of me, the mellow lucid glare which could be caused by nothing but a camp-fire. A little while before, I had done a very foolish thing ; I had cursed the storm, my luok in fact, evcr3-thing until my vo cabulary of expletives became quite exhausted and now I jumped to the other extreme of congratulating my self cm the warmth and dry clothing in prtspect, when I did not know wheth er I should meet friend or foe. Nev er for a moment forgetting my buck- woods training, I advanced cautiously toward the fire, for such it as. 1 As I nearcd the spot, Icould hear twovoices m anxious consultation, and imagine my surprise whea, on looking atl the two figures seated by the fire, I recog nized Guzzling Jim and Bon.ito. the Mexican. Irom my place of conceaU ment Icould overhear their conversa tion 5 the gist of which was, thev would kill Rube, steal ray dust, and. carry off Annette, so that Jim would be avenged on me for kicking him, for abusing th little halfbreod,L' They concluded to wait half an houT. so that Rube would bo sound asleep when they commenced operations.

When I arrived at the clearing gave my customary signal, which at once brought Rube to the door, t 'He expressed some surprise on seeing me. but when I made known my errand he hastily bade me enter, " and securely barred tn.e door bhind me, Annette on hearing my voice when she thought me far away at the diggings, entered the room, and, after being informed of the state of. affairs, she greatly im proved my condition by brewing a good not cup of coffee, which bent thrill of warmth through my chilled body. ciowiy tne time passed. WTe had not long to wait, however, for, scarce ly ten minutes later, old Rube, the lookout, cried, "There they come, the pesky var mints! and, bringing his musket to his shoulder, bade me do tho same.- We waited until they came so near that it was impossible to miss, and then, on a word from Rube, our rifles poured out their death-dealing contents. One of the dark, crawling figures threw up its arms, and, with a cry of mingled rage and pain, fell headlong to the earth. The other started to run, but had not gone six paces before he too came to the ground, i We immediate ly went out to ascertain the - result of our markmanship, and fouud Benito dead, while my friend, ' Guzzliu' Jim,' bad his leg shattered. "We took them to the house, where we kept them ' till next day, when the vigilance commit tee, by aid of tree and piece of rope, kept " Guzzlin' Jim's feet from the ground.
