By BBET HABTE [Copyright'd, 1880, by Houghton, Mifflin & Co., and published by arrangement with them.] CHAPTER XII. A HACK FOR IT. OYAL ‘Shy Ann,’ strapped to the l*ck seat, and ravin’ and cussin’ at Ben Holliday, the gen tlemanly proprietor.” It is presumed that the unfortunate tourist’* indignation was ex cited at the late Mr. Benjamin Holliday, then fie proprietor of the line—on evidence of his insanity that ly one who know that large- hearted, fastidious and elegantly-cultured Californian, since allied to foreign nobility, win for a moment doubt. Mr. Royal Thatcher was too old and expe rienced a mountaineer to do aught but accept patiently and cynically his brother Califor nian's method of increasing his profits. As it was generally understood that any one who came from California by that nuto had some dark design, the victim received little sym pathy. Thatcher’s equable temperament and indomitable will stood him in good stead, and helped him cheerfully in this emergency. lie* ate his scant meals, and otherwise took care of the functions of his weak human nature, when and where he could, without grumbling, and at times earned oven the praise of his driver by his ability to “rough it.” Which “tough ing it,” by the way, meant the ability of the passengers to accept the incompctency of the company. Jt is true there weit* times when he regretted tliat he had not taken the steamer; hut then he reflected that he was one of a »vigilance committee, sworn to hang that ad mirable man, the late Commodore Cornelius Vanderbi t, for certain practices and cruelties done upon the bodies of certain steerage pas sengers by his line, and for divers irregulari ties in their transportation. I mention this fact merely to show ho v so practical and stout a voyager as Thatcher might have con founded the perplexities attending the admin istration of a great steamship company with selfish greed and brutality; and that he, with other Californians, may not have known the fact, since recorded by the commodore’s fam ily clergyman, that the great millionaire was always true to the hymns of his childhood. Nevertheless, Thatcher found time to lie cheerful and helpful to his fellow passengers, and even to bo so far interesting to “Y uba Bill,” the driver, as to have the box seat placed at his disposal. “But,” said Thatcher in some concern, “the box seat was purchased by that other gentleman in Sacramento. He paid ex tra for it, and his name's on your way bill!” “That,” said Yuba Bill, scornfully, “don’t fetch me, even ef ho chartered the whole she lving. L6ok yar, do you reckon I’m goin to spile xjiy temper by setting next to a man with a game eye? And such an eye! Ge- whillikins! Why, darn my skin, the other day when we were watering at Webster’s, he got down and passed in front of the off leader —tliat yer j>itito colt that’s tin accustomed to Injins, grizzlies and buffalo—and I'm bless ef, when her eye tackled his, ef she didn't jlst git up and rar round that I reckoned I’d hev to go dgwn ami take them blinders off from her eyes and clap on his. }1 “But be paid his money, and is entitled to his seat,” persisted Thatcher. “MebbeTie is—in the office of the kempeny,” growled Yuba Bill; “but it’s time some folks knowed that out in the plains I run this yer team myself.” A fact which was self-evident to most of the passengers. “I suppose his authority is as absolute on this dreary waste as a ship captain’s in mid ocean,” exclaimed Thatcher to the baleful eyed stranger. Mr. Wiles—whom the reader has recognized—assented with the public side of his face, but looked vengeance at Yuba Bill with the other, while Thatcher, innocent of the pi-esencc of one of his worst enemies, placated Bill so far us to restore Wiles to his rights. Wiles thanked him. “Shall I have the pleasure of your company far?” Wiles asked, insinuatingly. “To Washington,” re plied Thatcher, frankly. “Washington is a gay city during the session,” again suggested the stranger. “I'm going on business, said Thatcher, bluntly. A trifling incident occurred at Pine Tree Ci ossing which did not heighten Yuba Bill’s admiration of the stranger. As Bill opened the double locked box in the “boot” of the coach—sacred to Wells, Fargo & Co.’s express and the Overland company’s treasures—Mr. amatory episode of this story, that for a j Wiles perceived a small, black morocco porte- moment he could not recall her.

Who?” continued Bill, lashing himself into a simulated rage, “who in blank is run ning this yer team? Hey? Mob!*) you think, PIANOS AND •DM14ANS digestion & Debility.

That the boyish little painter who shared his hospital ity at the “Blue Mass” mine qfrould afterward have lit tle part in his ac tive life seemed not inconsistent with his habits. At present the mine was his only mistress, claiming his entire time, exasperat ing him with fickleness, but still requiring that supreme devotion of which his nature was capable. It is possi&e that Miss Carmen ‘ saw tins too, and so set about with feminine tact, if not to supplement, at least to make her rival less pertinacious and absorbing. Apart from this object, she zealously labored in her profession, yet with small pecuniary result, I fear. Ixical art was at a discount In California. The scenery of the country had not yet become famous; rather it was re served for a certain eastern artist, already famous, to make it so; and people cared little for the reproduction, under their very noses, of that which they saw continually with their own eyes and valued not So that little Mistress Carmen was fain to divert her artist soul to support her plump little material body; and made divers excursions into the regions of ceramic art, painting on velvet, illuminating missals, decorating china, and the like. I ha^e in my poneasion some wax flowers—u startling fuchsia and a bewildering, dahlia— •old for r incro pittance by this little lady, pictures lately took the prize at a foreign exhibition, shortly after she had been half starved by a California public, and claimed by a California press as its fostered child of genius. Of these struggles and triumphs Thatcher had no knowledge; yet he was perhaps more startled than he would own to himself when, one December day, he received this dispatch: “Come to Washington at once.—Carmen De Haro.” “Carmen De Haro!” I grieve to state that such was the preoccupation of this man, elected by fate to be the hero of the solitary up against him, and hail proved her fecx by afterwards running away from him, came back at last to his memory, he was at first mystified and then self reproachful. He had been, he felt vaguely, untrue to himself. He hail lwen remiss to the self-confessed daughter of his enemy. Yet why should she telegraph to him, and what was she doing in Washing- ton ? To all these speculations it is to be said to his credit tliat he looked for no sentimental or romantic answer. Royal Thatcher was naturally modest and self-depreciating in his I «*“*» “P ■>“ '»* «vat, you are. relations to the other sex, as indeed must men S “ebbe you think you km sue round corners with that tluir eye and km pull up I.r teams who are apt to lie successful with women generally are, despite a vast degree of sujier- annuated IkbIi to the contrary.

It was from his Washington lawyer. The eonclud- -“Pcrhapa it round comers on down grades a mile ahead;” But bora Thatcher, who, with something of Laucelot’s concern for Modred, hail a noble pity for al[ infirmities, interfered so sternly that Yuba Bill stopped. On the fourth day they struck a blinding snow storm while ascending the dreary pla teau that henceforward Cor GO) miles was to be their roadbed. The horses, after flounder ing through the drift, gave out completely on reaching the next station and the prospects enough to pack aw ay over them cliffs every inch of snow that falls.

But ho was warmly seconded by nlhthnd X^to^cWenly blossom in the sun- Thatcher, who had the next best thing to ex- siL of power to he, -h.£, plucketl "1?^ worn by one of his enemies. He did not agree with his lawyer that she was in any way con nected with his enemies; ho trusted to her masculine loyalty that far. But here was aomething vaguely dangerous to the feminine mind—position, flattery, power. Ho was al most as firmly satisfied now that he had been wronged and neglected as he hail been posi tive a few momenta before that be had been remiss In his attention. The irritation, al though momentary, was enough to decide this strong man. He telegraphed to Bon Fran cisco; and, having missed the steamer, se- character, and take advantage of another man’s experience. “Them that wants to stop kin do so,” said Bill authoritatively, cutting the Gordian knot; “them as wants to take a sledge can do so, thar’s one in the barn. Them as wants to go on with me and the relay will come on.” Mr. Wiles selected the sledge and a driver, a few remained for the next stage, and Thatcher, with two others, decided to accompany Yql»a Bill. These changes took up some valuable time; aud the storm continuing, the stage was run under the shed, the passengers gathering around the station fire; ami not until after midnight did Yuba Bill put in the relays. “I wish you a Yuba BUI wat on the road in an instant ominous lurch on one side, and the off fore wheel litw off in the darkness. Bill threw the horses back on their hactnchca; but before their momentum could be checked, the near hind wheel sloped away, the vehicle rocked violently, plunged back Wards and forwards, and stopped. Yuba Bill was on the road in an instant with his lantern. Then followed an outbreak of profanity which I regret, for artistic pur- ixwcs. exceeds that generous limit which a sympathizing public has already extended to me in the explication of character. Let me state, therefore, that in a very few moments he succeeded in disparaging the characters of his employers, their male and female relative*, the coach builder, the station keeper, the road on which he traveled, ami the travelers them selves, with occasional broad expletives ad dressed to himself and his owm relatives. For the spirit of this ami a more cultivated i>oetry of expression, I beg to refer the temperate reader to the Third chapter of Job. The passengers knew Bill, and sat, conser vative, patient, ami expectant As yet the cause of the catastrophe was not. known. At last Thatcher’s voice came from the box seat: “What’s up. Bill?” “Not a blank lynch pin in the .whole blank 2oach,” was the answer. There was a dead silence. Yulia Bill exe cuted a wild war dance of helpless rage. “Blank the blank enchanted thing to blank!” (I beg here to refer the fastidious and culti vated reader to the only adjective I have dared transcribe of this actual oath which I once hail the honor of hearing. He will, I trust, not fail to recognize the old classic de- monjfc this wild western abjurgation.) “Who did it?” asked Thatcher. Yuba Bill did not reply, but dashed up again to the box, unlocked the “IxxJT’ and screamed out: “The man that stole yotfr portmantle— Wiles!” Thatcher laughed. “Don’t worry about that, Bill. A “bilwl” shirt, an extra collar and a few papers Nothing more.” Yuba Bill slowly descended. When he reached the ground he plucked Thatcher aside by his coat sleeve: “Ye don't mean to say ye had nothing in that Iiag ye was trying to get away with?” VNo,” said the laughing That her frankly. “And that Wiles warn’t one o' them deteo lives?” “Not to my knowledge, certainly.” Yuba Bill sighed sadly, and returned to as sist in the replacing of the coach on its wheels again. “Never mind, Bill,” said one of the passen gers sympatliizingly, “we’ll catch that man Wiles at Rawlings suit*;” and Ik* looked around at the inchoate vigilance committee, already “rounding into form” aliout him. “Ketch him!” returned Yuba Bill, derisive ly; “why we’ve got to go back to the station; and afore we’re off agin he’s pinted furClar- mont on the relay we lose. Ketch him! H—ll’s full of such ketches!” There was clearly nothing to do but to go back to the station to await the repairing of the coach. While this was l^ing done Yuba Bill again drew Thatcher aside: “I alien* suspected that chap’s game eye, but I didn’t somehow allow for anything like this. I reckoned it was only the square thing to look arter things gen'rally, and ’specially your traps. So, to purvent troubil, and keep things about ekal, ez he was goin’ away, I sorter lifted this yer bag of hiz outer the tail board of his sleigh. I don’t know as it is any exchange or compensation, but it may give ye ,a chance to spot him agin, or him you. It strikes me os bein' far-minded and squar’;” and with these won Is he deposited at the feet of the astonished Thatcher the black traveling bag of Mr. Wiles. “But, Bill—see here! I can’t take this!” in terrupted Thatcher hastily. You can’t swear that he’s taken my bag—and—and—blank it all—this won’t do, you know. I’ve no right to this man’s things, even if ” “Hold your hosses,” said Bill gravely; “1 undertook to take charge o* your traps. I didn’t—at least that d—d wall-eyed—Thar’s a portmantle! I don't know who’s it is. Take it.” Half amused, half embarrassed, vet still protesting, Thatcher took the bag hi his hands. “Ye might open it .in my presence,” sug gested Yuba Bill gravely. Thatcher, half laughingly, did so. It was full of papers and semi-legal looking docu ments. Thatcher’s otyn name on one of them caught his eye; he opened the paper hastily and perused it. The smile faded from his Ups. “Well,” said Yuba Bill, “suppose we call it a fair exchange at present.” Thatcher was still examining the pajiers. Suddenly tliis cautious, strong minded man looked up into Yuba Bill’s waiting face and said quietly, in the despicable slang of the epoch and region; “It’s a go! Suppose we do.” If you feel wealc and all worn out take BROWN'S IRON BITTERS Fina! Notice.
