This last was added rather bitterly, as ,.' rise looked at her brown, rough hanriw ( and her bare ankles, and thought of the r/:V "boy's work" she had to do. And it was hard to believe that this was the tost kind of - a life for a young ' girl like Saoraraento. Here she lived alone, for her father was down at the month of the canon all day. The gar­ den work she was obliged to do, and fee care of the eattle fell upon her. It was not often that she saw any person hut her father, although now and thai, in spite of herself, she came in oontaci with the rude men of the mining camp ap abovti. Yet Saeaamento had her dream--one that she "scarcely dared to own;** but it came to her often as she went about her work. She knew that down at San ts> Barbara and in the towns along the coast, and far, far away across wide stretches ol the continent to the great East, there were girls who lived very different from her life; and she dreamed of such a life for herself. " Oh, if I could only go away from here !" she cried out. almost as one cries for help. " If I could only go down to San Francisco and go to school there far a single year I Ah, if I only had $500!" Suddenly there was a step--not of a man, but a horse--on the bank behind her, and then soma one spoke. She knew the vqpee without looking up. It was Pete Larrabee, a fellow who lived down on Hahnemann's plantation, two miles along the trail. He sometimes rode by. He had not heard her last words at all; yet strangely enough his • own were a repetition of them, " Five hundred dollars, Sac," said he. "Five hundred dollars in gold! D'ye want ter earn it ? There's yer chance," and he threw down tq hef A bit.<of paper arompled into a ball. $500 EEWAHD--The above amount will ha paid for information leading to the arrest, dead or ahve, of 'Walter Somern, who has worked for some time past on Maxwell'a ranch. Said Somera ta about 18 year* old and live and a , half feet high, rather"good looking, with light, curly hair, bine eyes and a light muafcaehe. When last Been he had on a black slouch hat, gray businew rait with blue flannel ahirt, aorf boots with red tOj*s marked with the maker's name. The name of the county Sheriff was signed at the bottom of the bill. Sao- ramento, having glanced it through, looked up. " He's been steal in' hones," exclaimed Pete; " got off last night with four of Maxell's best somewhere. That reward " won't do much good, though. Ther Begulators'll latso him and string him up long 'fore ther law'il git started. They're hevin' a meetin' now up at the Guloh. I tell ye, they are mad. They'll make quick work if they ketch him, Yer father's there. Ye needn't look fur him home afore night much." Then, after a word or two more, the man rode on; and presently Sacramento took-up her pail, aud, with the Sheriff's bill still in her hand, went slowly up the bank and across the trail toward the house, thinking very seriously about the $500 all the while. It was some bouts after this, and the afternoon sun was going down behind the tops of the mountains, that Sacra­ mento, having finished her housework, was preparing to sit down on the porch to do her sewing, (when she was met in the doorway by a young man she had never seen before. And yet he was no stranger. The girl knew him instantly, although the slouch hat was pulled down over the flaxen lmir and blue eyes, and the gray pants, torn and muddy, had been drawn out of the boot legs so as to no longer allow the red tops of the boots with the maker's name be seen. It was the horse-thief. She did not, however, express any surprise as she saw him. She was ac­ customed to the sight of rough, evil men, and at the first glance she had felt that this one could not be either very wicked or very dangerous. He was not much more than a lad, and had an air of gentleness and good breeding about him that six months of Westera life and the miserable plight he was in at the moment had by no means de­ stroyed. He seemed to be short for breath, too, and he was trembling as ii> he had been running. Instinctively he raised his hand to- i wvrd his hat and then, bethinking hitn- self, dropped it again. "Could you give me something to eat and drink?" he asked in a hesitating voice. " Anything will do. I am very hungry. I--I have h»d nothing to eat since last night" "Come in," said Sacramento, gravely. In her voico was neither kindness or nn- kimdnees. She was trying to realize the situation she was in. Come in and sit down." Then she went into the closet near bjr and began taking down from the shelves milk and bread and meat, as she slowly did so turning over the matter in her mind. Here was this man, who had been stealing hdrses, and for whose cap­ ture iSSOt) was offered, in her kitchen. Five hundred dollars! Exactly the sum she had been wishing for--the sum that would take her down to San Fran­ cisco to school and help her, make a lady of herself. And this sum might be hers if she oould in some way seenre this stranger or somehow keep him in the house until help arrived. Help! Why, she hardly needed help. He was weak Mid exhausted, and in the drawer of the kitehen table there waa a loaded revolver which she knew well how to nee. She came out presently and set the things before him. bringing also a tea­ pot from the stove and pouring for him a cup of tea. Then she went -and sat down by the window and watched him furtively as he ate. In spite of his caution he had ta'<en off his hat while he was eating. She oould better see what he WHS like. It VM an almont boyish face, worn, but not wicked, with the curling hair lying in damp elnsters upon his pale brijw. In the n4b&,xstnsll and well-shaped, aud in dl his motionR and raaaiJerB she felt that she could read something of his •fcory. She had heard before this how young ladU in the Bast, filled with ro­ mantic notions about Western life and adwtnre, sometimes felt their way out to the ranches of the Pacifie slope. Per- he was one of these. - • As »he looked at him, fancying all this, and realizing the terrible strait he •Was in, and the probable dark fate that was l»efore him, her heart yearned with true womanly sympathy ; and her feel­ ing found expression before she was able 4-to restrain herself. "Oh, how oould yaa do it? How eeuld you do itf ahe suddenly ex- claimed, her voice quite toll, of what she felt. ^ He looked iijp at her in wonder; but 'he his eyes m*Jt hers he understood her. ' " I dtd not do jt. 'Upon my honor I did not I" he apl. " It was that man Dennis."' Sacramento breathed a great sigh of relief. Horse stealing was held in that section to be a crime worse than murder; and she was by no means free from the popular estimate of its grave nature. „ '* Oh, I am glad of that 1" said she. "But--" She hesitated, and then went *n, doubtfully. "But then how was it? Why did they say it was you ? And why did you ran away ?" "It was Dennis" doings*, their laying it to me. He did that to clear himself. And after that, you know as well as I do, tliere would have been no use in trying to prove myself innooent They always hang a horse thief flnit. and then eon- afterward. langhing at his friend. What could it mean t Had the young eider his guilt afterward, I had to ran to save?my life." "Do you know that there » c reward offered for your capture V" I know the Regulators are after me." answered the young fellow, suddenly. " They came pretty near catching me, too, this noon. I just escaped them and came down the canon by the mountain trail. I have had a hard run for it, and what with no sleep or food for twenty* four hours I am about used up. I felt as though I could not go another step when I saw your house. Yon--von have been very- good to me. i I wall never forget--" " But what are you going to do now?" interrupted Sacramento. " Yon are not safe here." "I,know it. • But I threw them off the track at noon, and I do not think they are within five miles of me. Now I have had something to ent.I will take to the woods against 1 hope I may get away. If I don't "Hfnis voice trembled and tears came into his eyes. "If I don't, I shall get a hanging, I suppose. Oh, what a fool I was not to prefer home to this sort of tiling. And yet, I would not care so much either, if it wasn't for my father and mother." And then the poor fellow fairly broke down. " Hark J" Sacramento exclaimed. She had been crying, too; she oould not help it They both listened. In a moment they heard plainly the aoand of horses coming down the trail. The girl turned with inptant self-possession. ; "Go^n there! Quick! Quick! There iB not a moment to be lostl Here, take your hat!" And handing his hat to him she half pushed him across the room and into her own little room that led off from it. Then she hurriedly cleared the table again, barely finishing the task as the horsemen halted at the door. There were three of them. One was her father. Sacramento knew the other two men by sight. They were rough^ but of the better sort of those who made up the dwellers in Kelly Gulch. The faces of all three were stern and forbid­ ding, and they evidently had been riding hard. They dismounted together. " Sac," began her father as he entered the door, " hev ye seen anytiiing of a young chap, afoot or a-hor^ebadk, com­ ing this way f Sacramento had expected the ques­ tion and was ready for it. And she meant, if it were possible, to answer it without a lie. "A young chap 'about 18 years of age and five feet and a half high, rather good-looking, and with red-top boots on ?'" replied she. " Yes! yes! That's him!" cried one of the other men, eagerly. " Have you seen him? Has he been here?" " I was only quoting from this hand­ bill," said Sacramento, taking the paper from the shelf where she had laid it. " Then you hain't seen him at all ?" asked the father. , '• I have been right here all day, and nobody has gone by exoept Pete Larra­ bee. It was he Who gaVe me the bill. Are you sure he came this way, the--the --horse-thiet ?" "No; but we didn't know but he mighter. The chances is that he sloped off to the mountains, meanin' ter go through Stovepipe Pass. They'll git him, though, afore sundown." " It's sundown now," observed Sacra­ mento. " Then they've got him now," was the sententious response. * "And we-shonld be too late for the hangin' ef we sh'd go back. Leastways"--this was added to his companions-*-" you'd better oome in and have a bite afore ye go." So presently the three men sat down to the supper that the young girl quick­ ly prepared for them. And while they where eating she herself, at her father* bidding, went out to take the saddle off Bueno, his horse, aud give him his feed. As she approached the door once more a few minutes later she heard words which caused her to stop and listen. " I don't like ter say anything against tliet kid o' youm, neighbor," one of the men wj»s saying, "but it hes kinder seemed ter me ail ther while's though she sorter lied some 'at on her mind like. Ye clou't. s'pose she knows anything 1>out thet young feller, arter all ?" Sacramento's father laughed at this as though it was too absurd to be con­ sidered. The other, however, was not to be laughed out of his suspicions. "Fur all we know," persisted he, "she may hev him hid here somewhere on (he premmysis." " {t's easy enough to see," returned the proprietor of the said "premmysis," testily. " Where d'ye think she's hid him ? In her bedroom ?" As he said this Sacramento, who waa now near enough to see into the kitchen, saw her father rise from his chair and step to the door of the room where she had concealed the fugitive. Her heart almost stopped beating as she saw him push open the door and enter the room, followed by his companions. "Well make a clus search of it while we're about it," she heard him Bay within. And then she stood there in terrible suspense upon the porch, expecting every instant to hear the shout that would follow the discovery of the fugi­ tive. hnt no such shout was heard ; and instead of it, a moment after, the two men came out again, her father still man been able to conceal himself in the room and no «vade their search ? That was n«t ftoiMibW Thrtib die thought of the window. Could he have from the room by that? The wu was so small she could scarcely that he could have crept through And yet he must have done so. She went hurriedly bonse, and thefc don theds. No one dbuld he S*&L * She halted a moment under a live oak tree just at the edge of the garden. The evening wa very calm and still, and the twilight shftdows were deepening fast. Was it the rustling of the wind in the boughs overhead that caught hereto? She listened. j " Hist! I am here--in the tree. The words came in « distinct whisper from directly above her. She stood and thought a single mo­ ment before replying. Then she said, ** You must get awnyfrom h&r&ataaoe," in an eager whisper. " One of the men suspects something, and they may at any moment make a search of the place. I sm going into the house a minute. Get down at once and go through the garden and across the trail to a spring that you will find there. It's at the foot of a big cottonwood tage. I$fayr right there until I come." ' Tnen she went back hurriedly to house. The three men were fttfil sitting at the table, aud Sacramento felt rather than saw that one of them still regarded her suspiciously as ahe quae in. She did not speak to them at aH, but went directly through the kitchen to her own room, aud in a moment came out, went about her work in the kitchen, and took .up a pail, apparently go to the spring for water. v K ., / - Ten minutes later, standing in the •hadow of the oottouw6od, young Som- ers heard a step, and flieu Bnammeato. leading Bueno all saddled arid bridled, appeared. He started forward. •* Hush !" she said, " they may oome out at any moment. Listen to what I •ay. Your life depends upon it. You must ride straight down the trail for a quarter of a mile. Then close by a big cottonwood, just like this, yon will strike a path to the left. Buen$ will know it, once you get him in it. It will bring you out, half a mile on, at a cor­ duroy road that crosses the swamp. This end ef the corduroy has got ont of order and there are some logs laid. Lead Bueno acrosa and then pull the logs away. If you can do that it will make trouble for those who follow you. Beyond the swamp is a big plain. Strike straight across it, keeping the moon square on your right--the moon wilt lie up by that time--aud three hours' rid­ ing will bring you to the new railroad. After that--God help yon to get safe away!" Sacramento paused, and pnt ont her hand. "Can yon remember ?" she de­ manded. < " I can, but I can never forget--" " Never mind th«tT" Here, take this. It is a little money. You will need it. Now mount and ride--slowly, a little way, and then for your life." The young man still had hold of her hand. The tears came into his eyes. The next moment he was crone. The next morning Sacrament^ told her father the story and coaxed hiih into forgiving her. And the following after­ noon a man brought Bueno over from the railroad town; and then she knew that the fugitive was safe. Six weeks later a lawyer from Santa Barbara appeared with a letter from Walter Somers. fie was with his friends at New York, and he begged Sacrar- mento to accept, as a gift or gratitude, at least the amount of the reward that had been offered. And so it was that she went down to San Franoisoo to school that winter, after all.-- Youth's Companion. PatMuwlar* JPOSTAVE RATES.
