RESCUED FROM CAPTIVITY. < i Without exception Mark Trafton 1 | was the handsomest man I ever saw. t lie joined our Council BIuII'h on our ' 1 overland journey to California, in the 1 .Spring of 1851. There were seven of < us all told, and three horses, five mules J made up the sum total of ouranimals ' with the exception of a long, lean, M Wnngry-looking wolf-dog, the property and" especial favorite ofZebulonj1 '\Jinks, the guide, jf Two of the mules were driven in j J harness and were attached to a wag jl on, built liigh in the body, and made!' water-tight by caulking. In thisj1 were conveyed our provisions, trunks, 1 and a shelter-tent large enough to ac- 1 commodate our entire party. ' On our arrival to .Salt Lake wo 'camped for a week in an open field 1 Ijust outside tho limiLs of the city.!1 I After our tent was pitchcd aud every ? ! thing arranged lor our comfort, T*af-M ton proposed that we should take a,' j c-ruise through tho city. |' I We accordingly had recourse to our;' I trunks, and each playing tho part of j t harbor for the other, we soon succeed-1( cd in inakii.g up an unexceptionable! I i toilet. It was a little after noon when I we started ('it our expedition, and a I half-an-hour later found us promena-!'

The eldest was { a hardfeatured, rather good-lookinjr 1 duenna, of perhaps forty lbrty-livc, mounted on a boautitn I dark-roan-niare, with a coat so Muooth It land flossy that you could almost see:" !your face in it. She was attired in aN j black serge riding-dress, with whitejf j underskirts, and she managed the j1 I fine-looking animal she rode with the ic j graceful case and perfect self-posses- j jsion, which is acquired only through j t jlong experience in equcstrain cxerci-ir Ises. a Her companion was young, and ono j I ]of the most bewitchingly lovoly crea-p j tures it had ever been my lot to en-jf counter. The skirts over her riding I j dress were of lilac-colored silk, with a: 1 (waist or bodie of orange-colored sat-;} | in.

Her jetty hair lell!v | in graceful ringlets over her exquis-U lite neck and shoulders. A more t'ault-'1 less face it would have been difficulty ! to conceive, or a form more luscious c J and inviting. She was mounted on a c j beautiful cream-colored Spanish genet * 'and as they drew nearer, her large I {languishing orbs suddenly rested up- , ion Trafton with undisguised admira-jt j lion. i i j lie had chained her with one of t t those mesmeric looks, which would <! now and anon dart like flashes ofj .summer lightning from the depths of 1 his dark eyes, adding a transitory ' , I charm to his marvelous beauty, whi< h ' I was quite intoxicating to the senses. -v 111) hor extreme contusion at LIiu mo- 1 ! iiic*nL she dropped her li:iii?ll?'cri-l?icf", ' ami with I lie gallant ry which was a ' leading characteristic of Tra lion's, ho !jsprang gracefully forward, and wit h A jabow and smile that made his con* I (quest a certainty, lie picked up and 1 ! handed her the exquisitely crubroi- ] idered article in question.

He told us a great many novel c hings about the saintly city before c vc separated, and walked with us to c he street where Acherman's residenee ,vas situated. e Betimes the next morning, Mark t Frafton cleaned up his saddlo and bri- n lie, and after currying down the k tplendid black stallion ho had ridden ii ill the way from Council Blufts, till t iot a speck of dirt could bo found ipon his highly polished coat, he fi nounted him and rodo fourth into 1( he city, ilo was absent till nearly e loon, and after dinner he sailed out n tgain.

We exchanged the saddles n ind attached the punier I had a ironght to Mark's. The provisions n vliicli ho had brought in a bag thus p iir were carfully transferred to the a )anier, so as to make room for the ir eception of such articles as the ci 'oung lad}' might think proper to ri alee along with her. |>( It was understood that she was to tl lip out of the house the moment tho rn amily had retired and everything 01 vas quiet about tho premises, and w neet Mark, who was to await her c< lear at hand, while I remained as si entinel over the horses, which were w :oncealod from observation by a club tl if bushes not/ far from tho road- it lido. l! How long I should bo required to el Viiit was uncertain, for no ono could s( ell how Ionthe family would re- n nain up.

When I eou'd percieve nofur-jm her race of tlieiu, I picked tip the; hi >ld saddle which ha<i made room for 1st lie new one, and started on my re-jrc urn to camp, where I arrived a fewjil ninnies atler twelve. All of the par-j ,y had retired, and were sleeping so ,p ioitndly lliat not one of them knuw-jj it what hour 1 had arrived. ! P( The next morning al nine o'clock! hi took a stroll into the city and found ( t alive with excitement and flyingjvi umors of the disappearance of tho'oi luautiful Miss Belle Acherman, the!a atost fianceo of tho great Brigham. e detectives and post-ridors were sent at in every direction from tho city, !< ,nd the "Council of Ten," backed up a <y the local police force, instituted a d nost thorough and vigilant search p hronghout every part of tho town, d )ur own tent did not, cseapo their ir crutiny, for rumor and conjecture li iad been busy, as Tration and Miss w Lchennan had been seen several ti imes together during the past three tr r four days. But as all but myself d ad been profoundly ignorant of this ri ircumstancc till now, they eould only xprcss their astonishment at tho el levorness of their companion. si as ror mj'scir, i was in a iever 01 n xcitement during the remaining k wo days of our stay in the city, lest s: ly fugitive friends should bo overta1 u on, or some accident occur to them li 11 their perilous flight to the moun- s< ains. w But the two days passed, and the p lgitives were not overtaken?at tl sast no news to effect had yet reach (J d the city; but there were flyingru- a lors that thoy had been seen fleeing o orthward by several persons, and v, he flat-boatman who transported lc assengers and freight across the s< iver (Boar iliver) remomber to n ave seen them at the time of their n: rossing in his barge. Ho particular- fi ? remembered them on account of a, be remarkable beauty of both. lie ad never seen so handsome a couple b cfore, nor two finer looking horses ; ut aftor this all traco of them was w )st nor could any further clew be 01 btained as to the preciso direction tl liey had taken. d Two days after their departure we U roko camp in Salt Lake and started w t-* -r* 11 r a. 1 4 i >r ucar iiiver. we meiscvurai par- u es returning wlio had been out in 01 ursuifc of the fugitives; but all gave tl lie same answer to our inquiry, that 0 trace of them had been found be- ^ ond the river. Various were the orijectures wo now formed regarding liem. Zebulon Jinks gave it as his pinion that they had pushed on to iio mountains, and were now lying 1 wait for our arrival. Somo thought hey might have overtaken and joinil a party who had left Salt Lake a ay or two before our arrival, while thers imagined they might have ceil captured by Diggers, or destroy il bv wild beasts. But the great roblem was solved four days after in most curious and providential mailer. \Ve had camped for the night moug the foot-hills of the Utah, seating a small ravine or valley which resented an unusual show of vegeition. and hampering out animals so lat they might not wonder far from ie encampment during the night, fe hau not as yet taken the precauon to station a guard over property, ot apprehending any danger from ie hostile Diggers at so short a disinee. from the Marion country. Hut ii this fancied dream of present socuitj* we were destined to be mistaken >r a little past midnight we were wakened by demonstrations of mmlal excitement and terror on the ;irt of the animals. The do<r aruus.1 tho camp by bis loud and vociferns barking, whilejthe horses and ,vo of the mules huddled around the :nt as if to ask protection from some ipending danger, The other three itiles were missing. ,, We looked for them in every direc- vv on but they were no where to be tl und. We naturally came to the pi inclusion after this that we had re- :y jived a noctural visit from tho Digers ; and the discovery the next mor- \V ingjof a trail leading up to the monn- t:i lin corroborated our fears. We left in ivo of the party in charge of the 111 imp, while the remaining four star- J." ;d up the mountain in pursuit of the j,j nvardly black rascals who wr.s put- ai ng us to all this unnecessary troub- M t. The trail was very plain most of ,J( jo way, and wo made rapid pro- f'] rcss. rj From previous accounts wc had ui cad, wc knew that those barbarious hi nd degraded creatures?the most igorant and debased, the nearest ap- I'i roach to the animal of any of the |? boriginal tribes on the continent? d< ihabited the rockey dens and cav ns of the mountains, disputing the ght of occupancy with the grizzly ear or the guant wolf.

He quoted urneroils instances in which men had sen by attention to business, most 110.bly the present superintendent of tho rgest dry goods establishment in tliw orld. Mr. Stewart prizes the services this former parcel boy so highly, lat, in addition to the splendid salary a pays him, he has given him the title ;eds of a house in New York valued at >0,000. Mr. Stewart does everything ou J grand scale, as befits his reputation.
