HU ('antain, ns became him, argued
against this strange mcaallisaon, but,
finding Nemo thoroughly hi earnest, and
waiting only for some panting minister
to tie tha nuptial knot, he dropped the
matter, and would have given if no fur

shortly thereafter called to it in a
and startling way.
While the lovers yet awaited the
ing of a minister, the wife of the sutler,
whose store waa just without the limits
of camp, informed CapL Wagner that
the had disoovered a plot among the
Winnemuccaa to murder the gnrriacm,
sack the poet, annouuoe Sarah Winne-

of extermination against the whites

men, with their arms, and go to the
stables. Close the doors and remain
until morning. Open to no one hut
myself. Do not communicate your
duty to any except those whom you take
with you.”
The man touched hia hat and moved
away. Thia waa to prevent the lalee
Lieutenant from stealing the horsee,
should he chooae to attempt it, instead
of capturing them. Then the Captain
passed on to his own quarters. ' -
The honrs fled—9, 10, 11. In fifteen

The sntler’e wife was right. The een-
ttnel was “off duty,” and the guard all
within doors. Not a living creature waa
to be seen, and the eold starlight fell
upon ae solitary a group of adobe build

Suddenly, however, a single figure ap

A new constitution was adopted, which
tent most of the speculative wealth ovi
of California, and banished the specu

are ontensihly a poorer people, but we
are a happier people than we have been
