I THE RED D y OVSTAVE A1MARD 1 TRAIL s S CHAl'TKK XIX. The newcomer walked gracefully up to Don Sebaatlau, Milt holding hU hat In hi right hand, boned to him with exqul idte grace, and thrutting hid hand Into hi aide, he tUl with an accent ot cutting sarcasm. In harsh, metallic Mile . "Io you recogiilie roe, !Hn Seba,'ln, nnd do you believe 1 itm rtMlty alive?" At the same moment Helhuineur's knowing fcr ooulJ he seen peering through the doorway. With hl ejes ob stinately fixed oa the General, he seemed to be Impatiently expecting an answer, which the latter evidently hesitated to sire. "Who are you, senor?" said the Gen oral, "and by what right do you ques lion roe?" "Well played." uM Valentine. "Cn b.illero, you are a rude adversary." "I)o you think so)" Don Sebastian nuked, with a hoarse laugh. "Certainly," the hunter continued, "and I am delighted to bear my tmtlmouy to the fact; hence you bid better yield at once, for you are In a dilemma from which you cannot escape." There wa a silence lasting some min utes. At length the central seemed to make up hi mind, for he turned to He! liuraenr, who waa still llttrning. and bow ed to him with Iroulcal potltencss.) "Why stand half hidden by that doorr he ald to him. "Pray enter, caballero." The Canadian at once entered, and af ter giving the general a respectful bow lie leaned orer the back of Valentin' chair. The latter eagerly followed all the Incidents of the strange scene that waa being played before him, and In which lie appeared to be a disinterested specta tor rather than an actor. "1 am waiting." the general said, as he fell back In bis chair with an air of weariness. "We wilt brlnjt matters to an end," Valentine said, drawlnc himself up with an air of resolution. "General, you will at once leare Mexico and give up Dona Anita, to whom you will not only restore her liberty, but also the right ot giving ber hand and fortune to whomsoever she please. You will sell your estates and retire to the United States, promising on oath never to return. On my side, I pledge myself to restore to you your daughter's body." "Hare you anything more to add"1 the general coolly asked. "Nothing; but take care, senor. I, too, hare taken an oath, and from what I told you you must bare seen bow far I lure detected your secrets. Accept or refuse, but come to a decision, for this Is the last time we shall meet face to face under the like conditions. The game we are plsylng I a terrible one, and must end In the death of one of us, and I shall how you no pity, ax, doubtless, you will how me none. Reflect seriously before answering yes or no. and I gtre yon half an bonr to decide." The General rang the bell and the foot (nan came In. "Order the carriage." he said to him. Then," Vntentine said as he roe, "It U war to the death between us." "War to the death t b It so." "We shall only meet once again. Gen eral," the hunter remarked: "and that will be on the ere of your death, when you are In CaplIIa." "I accept the meeting, and will bow uncomplainingly before you If you are powerful enough to obtain that result; but. believe me, I am not there yet." "Yoif-'are nearer your fall than you lerhaps suppose." "That Is possible; but enough of this. Light these gentlemen down," be said to the servant, who at this moment entered (be room. When the general entered his box at the theater, which was in the first circle, and almost facing the stage, the house presented a truly falry-lke appearance. The president's box was occupied by the first magistrate of the republic and some of bis aide-de-camp. Keveral times Don Sebastian fancied that the president's eyes were fixed on him with a strange expression, after which be bent orer and whispered some remarks to the gentle men who accompanied him. Perhaps this was not real, and the general's pricked conscience suggested to him suspicions far from the thoughts of those against whom be had so many reasons to be on Ms guard; but real or not, these suspi cions tortured his heart and proved to Mm the necessity of coming to an end at all risks. Htlll the performance went on; the curtain had just fallen after the last act, and the general, devoured by anxiety, and persuaded that he had remained long enough In the theater to tentlfy his pres ence, was preparing to retire, when the Uoor of hi box opened, and Col. Lupo walked In. "Ah, Is It you, colonel?" Don Sebastian aid to lilm as be offered him his hand. 'Tray do not let me stop you, general, I have only a few words to say to you," "Our business?" "Goes on famously." "No suspicion?" "Not the shadow." The general breathed like a man from whose chest a crushing weight has been removed. "Can I be of any service to you?" he aid, absently. "Fer the present, I have only come for your sake." "How W?" t 3 t "Well, I vu accosted to-day by a leperof " vl'Iibi ot B """ rt wko -- says he wtahe to avenge himself on n certain Frenchman, whom he declares you know, nnd he desires to place him clf under jour protection. In the event of the blade ot his navaj accidentally slipping Into his enemy's body." "Did this worthy gentleman tell you his name, my dear colonel?" "Yes; but 1 believe that It would be better to mention It In the open air, rather than In this place." They left the theater and proceeded to ward the t'ortal de Mercndore. which were entirely deserted at this advanced hour of the ntght. CHAPTKIt XX. "Now, Senor Don Jaime," said the Ren eral, "let us speak frankly, It you please," "I wish for nothing better," the colonel replied. "And to begin." Don Sebastian con tinued, "tell me who this man Is from whom you hinted that I could derive some benefit." "This man la a villain of the worst sort, as 1 already have the honor ot tell ing you; his antecedents are. I suppose, rather dark, and that Is all I have been able to dlcoer." "I think I remember. Was not thjs villain known by the sobriquet ot the Zaragate?" "He was. general; furious at what hap pened to him. and attributing It to Don Valentine, he took an oath to kill blm whenever he met him." "I must not and will not see blm; but do you deal with him as you think proper. iou understand that It Is of the utmost Importance that I should be Ignorant ot the arrangementa you may make with him. and be able to prove. If necessary, that I 'had no knowledge of this. More over, as you are awar. I am not on for extreme measures; tb sight of such a villain would be repulsive to me, for I nave such a horror of bloodshed." "I understand you only too well." "What mean you?" "That, If we succeed, you will be pres ident of the republic" "Itemember, you will be a general and military governor ot our richest State, Sonora," the other answered. "It 1 useless to remind me of your promises, general; you are well aware that I am devoted to you." "I know It. ot coarse, and on that, ac count leave you. Good-night, and come and breakfast with me to-morrow." "I will not fall, general." The gen eral pulled his hat over his eyes, wrap ped himself In bis cloak and went off hastily. On being left alone, the colonel remained plunged In deep thought: the office with which he was Intrusted, for be perfectly caught the meaning of the gen eral's hints, was serious. At the moment when the colonel me chanically raised bis head and looked de spairingly tip to heaven, be fancied be saw several suiplcloos shadows prowling about blm in suggestive manner. Hut the colonel was brave, and the more so because be bad literally nothing to lot, hence be quietly loosened his sword, open ed bis cloak, and at the Instant when four or Ave fellows attacked him at once with machetes and long na rajas, be was on guard according to all the rules of the art. with bis left foot supported by a pillar and bis cloak wrapped like a buck ler round bis arm. The attack was a rude one, but the colonel withstood It manfully; beside. all went on In the Mexican way, without shout or call for help. Still the assailants, who were armed with short and heavy weapons, had the dUadrantage against th colonel's long and thin sword, which twisted Ilk a snake, writhed round their weapons, and had already pricked two ot the men sharp ly enough to make the others reflect and display greater prudence In their attack. The colonel felt that they were giving ground. "Come on, villains," he exclaimed, as he gave a terrific lunge and ran one of the bandits right through th body, who rolled on the pavement with yell of pain. "Stop, stop!" the man who seemed the leader of the bandits exclaimed; "we are mistaken." As tbe bandits asked for nothing better than to stop, they retreated a few steps without hesitation. "Can It possibly be you," the first speaker continued, "Senor Colonel Don Jaime Lupo?" "Hallobl" tbe colonel said, falling back a step In surprise, "who mentioned my nainer' "I, excellency: a friend." "A friend? A strange friend who has been trying to assassinate me for tbe last ten minutes." "Ilelleve me, colonel, that had we known whom we bad to deal with, we should never bav attacked you. All this Is the result of a deplorable misunder standing, which you will, however, ex cuse." "Hut who are you?" "What, excellency, do you not recognize the Zaragate?" "Tbe Zaragate I" the colonel exclaimed with glad surprise. "Well, scoundrel, are you aware that your Is a lingular trade?" "Alas I excellency, a man must do what be can," the bandit replied, In a sor rowful voice. Tbe colonel looked at blm anxiously, "I understand tbe cause of your grief," be said; "and It Is tb worse, because there U no remedy for It." . "Do you think so?" "Capital! I am certain of It." "You may be, mistaken, excellency." "Nonsense. You who so graciously place- yourself at the service ot those who have nn Insult to avenge, are forced to renounce your own vengeance." "Oh, no, excellency, what Is that you are saying?" "I am speaking the truth. You hate th Frenchman, whom you mentioned to me to-day, but you n afraid of him." "Afraid I" he ctrlahticd, angrily, "I bet you that jou will not dare avenge yourself on your enemy within the next four-nnd'twrnty hour, not even with th help ot your twelve compan ions." "And what will you bet, excellency?" "Well, I am so ts'rtalti ot ruunlng no risk that I will bet you one hundred ounces. lVes that suit you?" "Ofl hundred ounces I" the bandit ex claimed, his eyes sparkling with greed. "I wuuld kill my own brother for such a sum." -, CHAPTKIt XXI. The house taken for Valentin by M. Ralller was, as we bav already stated, situated In th Calls d Tactiba, only a few j a nli from the mansion belonging to General Don Sebastian Guerrero. Tha hunter, therefore, would only hav had a few stp to go to reach horn after leaving th general. Hut suspect ing that th Utter might have gives orders to have hla carriage followed, he ordered his coachman to drlre to the Ala meda, Aa the night was far advanced, th promenaders had abandoned th shady walks of the Alameda, which was now completely dwrted. This iloubtle wss whst th hunter desired, for, on reach ing about the center ot th drive, he or dered tb coachman to stop, and got out with his companions. Valentine, Ilk all men accustomed to desert life, had an Instlnctlv distrust ot stone walls, behind which. In his fancy, a spy was continually listening. Hence, when he had an Important affair to dis cuss, or a serious matter to communicate to hi friends, he preferred going to th Alameda, or somewhere In the environs of Mexico, where after posing Curcu mill aa entry, be believed that he could safely confide his closest secret to th friend he conveyed to th strange open air councils. On reaching a thick clump of trees the hunter stopped. "We shall be comfortable here," he said. "Tb trees have eye, and th leaves ears," llelhumeur answered sententlously. "Yes." Valentin remarked with a, ... .., i. . ..,. .,. - ...i..' smile, II you uo uui las ma (irrvnuiiuu to frighten away spies;" at th Mm moment he Imitated th soft cadnced bis of th coral snakt. A similar hiss was heard from th cen ter of the clump and seemed like an echo. "That Is the chief's signal," the Cana dian said. "II has been watching for us then for nearly an hour. Do you now believe that we are In safety?" "Certainly; when Curumllla watches orer us we bare no surprise to appre hend." "Let us talk then," said Don Martial. "One moment," Valentin remarked, "w must first hear the report of a friend." "Whom are yoti alluding tor' "You shall see." Valentine answer!, and clapped his hands thrice softly. Immediately a slight sound and a gen tle rustling ot leaves was heard In a neighboring thicket, and a man emerged, about four pace from the hunters. It was Carnero, the capatax. "Good evening, senores," be said, with a polite bow. "I have been awaiting your coming for nearly an hour," "We were detained longer than w ex pected by General Guerrero." "Do you come from blm?" "Did I not tell you I would call on him?" "Yes; but I hardly thought that you would hare the temerity to venture Into the lion's den." "Nonsense," Valentine said with a dis dainful smile, "the lion, aa you call blm, I assure you, was remarkably tame; h drew hi claw, completely and received us with the most exquisite politeness." "In that case take care," the capatax replied, with a shake of the head: "If ho received you In that way, he Is, be assur ed, preparing a terrible plot." "I am of the same opinion; the ques tion Is, whether w shall allow blm time to act." "He Is very clever, my dear Valentine," the capatax continue!, "and seem to possess an Intuition of evil. In spite of the oath I took to you when, on your entreaty, I consented to remain In hi service, there are day when, although I possess a thorough knowledge of his character, be terrifies me, and I fel on the point of giving up the rude task which, through devotion to you, I have Imposed on myself," "Courage, my friend; persevere but a few days longer, and, believe we, we shall alt be avenged." "May heaven grant It!" the capatax said with a sigh; "but I confrss that I dare not believe It, even though It Is you who assure me ot the fact." (To be continued.) nevr Neither Nurse Nor lUtir.

Snuffer, of Tilla mook, recently exhibited a box ot ber ries In Portland which were picked from tho marsh In Tillamook county.
