seemed to be imparted to the ever
buoyant blood of there hardy and
danger despising men. They were
mad with delight on finding them
selves, after crossing the stern Sier
ras, in a land of sunshine and
plenty; a beautiful land of verdant
hills and tawny plains ; of streams
winding between rows of alder and
willow, and valleys doited with
picturesque groves of the evergreen
oak. Instead of the wild blasts
whkh they were used to encounter
in.' December, they experienced
here only those dainty and wooing
airs which poets have ascribed to
spring, but which, seldom toipe
even with, the last May days in an
eastern climate.
In tho San Jose valley they en
countered a pirty of one hundred
soldiers, which the Spanish gov
ernment at Monterey had sent out
to take a party of Indians accused
of stealing cattle. The soldiers
were native Californians, descend
ants of the mixed blood of Spain
and Mexico, a wild, jaunty looking
set of fellows, who at first were in
clined to take Walker's party for a
band of cattle thieves, and to
march them off to Monterey. But
the Rocky Mountain trapper was
not likely to he taken prisoner by
any such brigade as the dashing
pnbelleros of Monterey,
After astonishing them with a
series of whoops and yells, and
trying to astonish them with feats
of horsemanship, they began to dis
cover that whi n it came to the lat
ter accomplishment, eve moun
tain men could learn something
from a native Calif iniiau. In this
latter frnme of mind they consent
ed to be conducted to Monterey as
' prison's or not, just a the Span
ish government should hereafter
be pleased to decroe; and they had
! confidence in themselves that they
should bo able to bend that high
land uiighty authority to tbeir own
the'.n courteoubly and hospitably,
as they had done Jedediah Smith
and his company, five years before,
when on their long and disastrous
journey they found themselves al
most destitute of the necessaries of
life, upon their arrival in Cali
fornia. There was something too,
in the dress of the people, both
men and women, which agreed
with, while differing from, the dress
of the mountaineers and their now
absent Indian dulcineas.
The men wore garments of many
colors, consisting of blue velveteen
breeches and jacket, the jacket
having a scarlet collar and cuff,
and the breeches being open at th
knee to diip'ay tho stocking ofj
white, lu'iichtli these wire dis

and over the shoulders thejounty

chains. Their taddles were so
shaped that it was dillicult to di
lodge the rider, being high befoie
and behisd ; and the indispensble
lasso hung coiled frow the pom
mel. Their stirrups were of wood,
broad on tho bottom, with a guard
of leather that protected the fancy

foruian was a suitable comrade, in

The dreis of the women was a

destined tj return to the Rocky
Mountains w ithout having had nn

not come in his way he was the
man to put himself in the way of
adventures.
While the camp was on its way
from tho neighborhood of Grando

I Hi'., Manhtad, and Jonas, went on
J a hunt across to the east of Grando

the Arkansas and Cimarron, where
numerous small branches of these
rivers head together, or within a
small extent of country.
They were about one hundred
and fifty miles from camp, and
traveling across the open plain be

May morning, when about five
miles off they di scried a large .
band of Indians mounted, and gal
