THE RED V M TRAIL 5 A R D CIIAPTER I. Toward the cuil of Juno, ISM, n well mounted traveler, carefully wrapped up hi the thick folds of ft sarnpe, raised to Ills eyes, was following one of the most precipitous slopes of the Sierra of the Wind river, at no great distance from the (.otirce of the Green river, that great western Colorado which pours its waters Into the Gulf of California. It was about seven in the evening; the traveler rode along, shivering from the effects of an icy wind which whistled mournfully through the canyons. All n round had assumed a saddening aspect in the vacillating moonbeams. He rode on without hearing the footfall of his horse, as it fell on the winding sheet of enow that covered the landscape ; at times the capricious windings of the track he was following compelled him to pass through thickets, whose branches, bent by the weight of snow, stood out before turn like gigantic skeletons, and struck each other after ho had passed with a Eullen snap. The traveler continued his journey, looking anxiously on both sides of him. His horse, fatigued by a long ride, stum bled at every step, and in spite of the repeated encouragement of its rider seem cd determined to stop short, when, after turning an nngle in the track, it suddenly entered a large clearing, where the close- growing grass formed a circle about forty yards in diameter and the verdure formed n cheery contrast with the whiteness that surrounded it. "Heaven be praised!" the traveler ex claimed in excellent French, "here is a spot where I can camp for to-night with out nny excessive Inconvenience." While thus speaking the traveler had stopped his horse and dismounted. His first attention was paid to his horse, from which he removed the saddle and bridle, nad which he covered with his sarape, ap pearing to nttnch no importance to the cold, which was, however, extremely se vere in these elevated regions. So soon as it was free the animal, in spite of its futigue. began browsing heartily on the gnus, and thus reassured about his com panion, the traveler began thinking about making arrangements for the night. It was no easy task to find dry firewood at a spot almost denuded of trees, and whore soil, covered with snow, except in the clearing, allowed nothing to be distinguished ; but the traveler was pa tient, he would not be beaten, and within on hour he had collected sufficient wood to feed through the night two such fires as he proposed kindling. "Ah! ah." said the traveler, "the fire will do, so now for supper." Then fumbling in the double Dockets. which traveler? always carry fastened to the saddle, he took from them all the re quisite elements of a frugal meal ; that Is to say, pemmican and tassajo, or meat dried In the sun. At the ,moment when after shutting up his alforgas. the trav ler raised his head to lay his meat on the embers to broil, he stopped motion less, with widely opened mouth, and it was only througn a mighty strength of will that he suppressed a cry of surprise and possibly of terror. Although no sound had revealed his presence, a man. leaning on a long rifle, was standing motionless before him and gazing at him with pro- lound attention. At once mastering the emotion he felt, the traveler carefully laid the tassajo on the embers, and then without removing his eye from this strange visitor, he stretched out his arm to grasp his rifle, while say ing In a tone of the most perfect indif ference : "Whether friend or foe. you are wel come, mate. 'Tis a bitter night, so if you are cold, warm yourself, and If you are hungry, eat- ben your nerves have re gained their elasticity and your body its usual strength we will have a frank ex planation, such as men of honor ought to have. The stranger remained silent for some seconds ; then, after shaking his head seV' eral times, said in a low and melancholy voice, as If speaking to himself: "Can any human being really exist in whose heart a feeling of pity still re mains' "Make the trial, mate," the traveler an swered, "by accepting without hesitation my hearty offer. Two men who meet in the desert must be friends, unless private reasons make them implacable enemies. bit down and eat." This dialogue had been held"in Spanish, a language the stranger sioke with a facility that proved his Mexican origin. He seemed to reflect for a moment and then instantly made up his mind. "I accept," he said, "for your voice is loo sympathizing and your glance too frank to deceive." "That is the way to speak," the trav eler said gaily. "Sit down and eat with- nut flirtllpr rlalnv" The stranger smiled sadly, The two men then attacked with no ordinary vigor the provisions placed before them. The general appparance of the stranger was most wretched and his ragged clothes scarce covered his bony, fleshlewi body; while his pale and sickly features were rendered more sad and gloomy by a thick, disordered beard that fell on his chest. IHh eyes, inflamed by fever and sur rounded by black circles, glistened with a sombre Are. His weapons were in as bad u condition as his clothes, yet there was In him something graud and sympathetic which aroused not only pity but also respect for torture so proudly hidden and so nobly endured. This man, In short, ero he fell so low, must have been great, cither In virtue or in vice ; but assuredly there was nothing common about him and a mighty heart beat in his bosom. There was a rather long silence, during which the two men Indulged In thought. The wind bowled fiercely over their heads, the eddyirig snow was piling up around them and the echoes of the canyons seem ed to utter notes of complaint. It was a horrible night. Beyond the circle of light produced by the flickering flame of the watch Are all was buried In dense gloon. "Now that the let U broken between us." the traveler said In n friendly voice, "for we have been sitting at tho same lire and nave eaten together -die moment has arrived, 1 fancy, for us to become thoroughly acquainted." The stranger nodded his head silently. It was n gesture that could be Inter preted affirmatively or negatively, nt pleasure. "For twenty years I have been trav ersing the prairies and great savannahs in every direction, nnd I siinll nrnlmhlv continue to do so . till an Indian bullet saved. This thought restored my courage, comes from some thicket to ston mv wnn- and I felt quite a different man. I roso down. The chief was tho first to reach the bottom, aud I fell upon his body, which deadened my fall. I cannot sny how long I remained in this state, but I fancy my faint must havo lasted two hours. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in utter darkness. That did not trouble, mo greatly, as I had about me everything necessary to light a firo. Within a few moments I hnd n light, nnd was enabled to look about mo. I was lying at tho bottom of n species of tun nel, for the pit grew narrower In Ito do scent. When I reached tho floor o( tho cavern, I lay for more than half nn hour on the sand, exhausted, panting, unablo to make the slightest movement. Fortu nntrly for mo this tcrrlblo condition did not last long, for tho refreshing nlr from without, reaching me through tho pnssnges of the cavern, recovered me. Tho ground around me was covered with dead bodies, and there had, doubtless, been a terrible struggle. I sought In vain for tho corpses of Dona Anita and her father. I breath ed again, and hopo re-entered my heart. Those for whom I had given my life were uerings forever. Towns aro hateful to me. And now, mate, you know me as wen as I do myself. I will merely ndd, in conclusion, that my name among the white men, my countrymen, Is Valentine uuiiiois, nnd nmong the redskins, my adopted fathers. Koutenenl " The speech, which the hunter had com menced in that clear voice and with that careless accent habitual to him. terminat ed involuntarily, under the pressure of the noou of saddened memories that rose from his heart, and when ho concluded he let his head fall sadly on his chest with n sign that resembled a sob. The stranger regarded him for n moment with an ex pression of gentle commiseration lou have suffered," he said; "suf- wlthout any excessive difficulty, and, sup porting myself on my rifle, went towanl tho mouth of tho cavern, nftcr removing my stock of provision, and taking two powder horns from stores I had previous ly cached. No words can describe the emotion I felt when, after a painful walk through tho grotto, 1 at length reached the river bank, aud saw tho sun ouco more. "An hour later, mounted on my good horse.

Perhaps you are mis taken." Well, since you insist, learn, then, tnat i was called Martial el Ticrero." "You?" the astonished' hunter exclaim ed. "Why, that is impossible!" "Of course so, since I am dead," the stranger answered, bitterly. CIIAPTER II The Tigrero had let his head fall on his chest again, and seemed engaged with gloomy thoughts. The hunter, somewhat embarrassed by the turn the conversation had taken, and anxious to continue it, mechanically stirred up the fire, "Stay," he said, presently, as he thrust back with his foot a few embers that had rolled out; "pardon me, sir, any insult which my exclamation may seem to have contained, lou have mistaken my mean ing, although we have never met, we are not such strangers as you suppose.' I have known you for a long time." The Tigrero raised his head and looked at the hunter incredulously. "You?" he muttered. "Yes, I, and It will not be difficult to prove it to you." "What good will It do?" he murmured : "what interest can I have in the fact of your knowing me? Valentine reflected for a moment, and then went on as follows : "Some months ago, In consequence of circumstances unnecessary to remind you of, but which you doubtless bear In mind, you met at the colony of Guetzalll a Frenchman and a Canadian hunter, with whom you eventually stood on most inti mate terms." It is true." the Tigrero replied, "the Frenchman to whom you allude is the Count do I'rebols Crance. Oh! I shall never be able to discharge the debt of gratitude I have contracted with him." A sad smile curled the hunter's Up. "You no longer owe him anything," he said. "What do you mean?" the Tigrero ex claimed eagerly, "surely the count can not be dead ! "lie Is dead, caballero. He was as sassinated on the shores of Guayamas. His murderers laid him in his tomb, and his blood, so treacherously shed, cries for vengeance." The hunter hurriedly wiped away the tears ho had been unable to repress while speaking of the count, and went on in voice choked by the internal emotion which he strove in vain to conquer: "Hut let us, for the present, leavo this rad reminiscence to slumber in bur hearts. The count was my friend, my dearest fripnd, more than a brother to me; ho often spoke about you to me, and several times told me your gloomy history, which terminated in a frightful catastrophe." Iho ligrero, In a few moments, began his narrative as follows; "My friends must have fancied mo dead. You aro aware that I was at tacked by Black Hear Just as I believed had saved friends. We fought on the edge of a pit and I was just about to finish him when the Comanche war cry was heard. Startled, I let tho Indian go. he rushed at Dona Anita, a member of on account of my large estates; and also, I suppose, through a fear of Injuring the man to whom I first applied the only living relation of the Torres family. What more need I tell you? Disgusted in every way, heartbroken with grief, and recogniz ing the inutility of the efforts I had made, I left the town, nnd, mounting my horse, returned to tho desert, seeking the most unknown spots and the most desolate re gions in which to hide myself." "Brother. alentino said, gently, "you have forgotten to tell, me the name of that Influential person who had you turned out of his house, and treated you as au Im-potor. "That is true," Don Martial answered. 'His name Is Don Sebastian Guerrero, nnd he Is military governor of the prov ince ot aonorn. 'Don Martial," cried the hunter, "you may thank heaven for decreeing that we should meet In the desert, In order that the punishment of this man should be complete." (To be continued.)

The use of poisons will do no good lu tho case of tho bugs, as they do not cat tho leaves, hut pass their beaks through tho outside of the leaf to suck the Juices, aud will not consume any of the poison. In n series of ex periments In tho method of prevent ing the attacks of the squash vine bor er the preventatives employed were parls green at the rate or half n tea sjooiiftil to two gallons of water, corn cobs dipped In coul tar, and the kero sene emulsion; tho application of the parls green and the kerofene was re lented after every hard rain until September; the cobs were dipped In coal tnr again once In three weeks. All three of the applications seemed to be beneficial, with pchap a little something In favor of tho corncobs as being cheapest and most convenient.
