There were pathi in plenty; in fact, the trouble waa there were too many all narrow and winding, for whoa meandering there seemed not the align teat excnee, except the general tendency to crookedness moat things, anW mate and Inanimate aliki, possena. But it would hare taken the instinct of a bloodhonnd or ft trailing Indian to have amid which paths had been made by bones feet or those of cattle. It was certainly beyond my powers to decide, aad la addition to their doubtful nature they bad a moat perplexing way of running uto each other, crossing and going off at a tangent and frequently wandering off and getting lost altogether. So I soon dismissed the problem aa hopeless of solution. Mow that the sun was gone, I found any knowledge of the points of the com-pagone with it As I sat perplexed and worried the gloom of twilight gathered fast and the chill of coming rain amote me through and through, while in the distance there waa the roll of thunder. U lancing up I aaw that the masses of cloud had closed together in a curtain of gray mist My horse strode on of his own accord, and hoping that his inatinct would lead us to some house I let him have his will. Presently it began to rain, a aort of heartbroken, passionless weeping, but with a steady determination to persevere all night, that awoke graver apprehension in my bosom than any amount of blustering, showery downpour could hare done. This fine still rain was accompanied by a low soughing wind that added its desolate note to the general dreariness of the boor. Of course I did not tnind a little rain, but the prospect of spending the entire night exposed to it was anything but agreeable, and I grew really violent in denunciation of the folly which had led me, an utter stranger in the country, to attempt to find anything less than volcano in active eruption on bald prairie. The Texaus are a fine people, In some in many respect the moot admirable of beets, but individually and collectively they lack any appreciation of distance. This is due of course to them baving so much space around them, but to a stranger ignorant of the extent to which the phrases "a little piece out" and "just outside o' town" can be stretched this contemptuous regard of miles is a little misleading. But in the face of that dreary, monotonous moaning of rain and wind even my anger at my own folly could not burn long, and though chilled to the bone and tired and hungry I plodded on dully, grateful that no night, even the longest, could last forever. It was now quite dark, and very dark at that, though at short intervals close ti the horizon a faint gleam of lightning showed, too distant to cast brightness on my path and only sufficient to intensify the blackness about me. All at once I saw a man walking about fifteen feet in front of me. Yes, I know I said it was intensely dark, but all the same, I repeat it, I saw a man walking in front of me, and furthermore I could see that he was a large man, dressed in jrougb. but well fitting clothes; that he wore a heavy rei beard, and that he looked back at me from time to time with an expression of keen anxiety on hit otherwise rather fixed feature. "Hallor 1 cried, but as he did not bait I concluded he did not hear me. As second hail produced no result I spurred my weary horse up to overtake the stranger. But though the gray responded with an alacrity most commendable under the circumstances, I soon found that this strange pedestrian did not intend to let me catch up with him." Not that he burned himself. He seemed without amy exertion to keep a good fifteen feet between us. Then I began to wonder how, with intense darkness shutting me xn as xour macs: wans, i was yet able to "see my strange companion so clearly, to take in the details of his dress, and even the expression of his face, and that at a distance more than twice my horse's length when I could hardly see his head before me. I am not given to Bunersti- tkras fancies, and my only feeling was of cariosity.
