A TIP THAT swear it bufore God who hears and soes us!' There was a legend at Los Angeles. In times past, said the Indiana, strangers came to the country. Thoy dug the soil and discovered gold. They forced the inhabitants to extract tbe precious metal; but, as if the earth bad wished to doTend the riches she had hidden in her bosom, all those who workod in the mine were stricken with a strange deuth. Then tbe Indians fled, and the strangers quitted tho country. When they were gone the inhabitants returned, ami, heaping stones before the entrance to the mine, closed it up; that done, thoy spread the report that the secret of the gold was fataL Juan knew the legend and for a long time had shared the popular belief. But what would he not have attempted to gain his beloved Braving the danger, he had searched for and found the hidden entrance to the mine, Once tho muter of the secret he attacked the wall of piled-u- p rooks, where for ages the seeds carried by the winds had germinated and grown into trees, the powerful root of which now bound the stones together a. with mighty cords. Juan related all that Techina allowed herself to be convinced, and when they parted they had forgotten all the hours of distress and hopelessness through which they had passed. About that time men from the North came into the oountry. They reached Los Angeles armed with strange instruments, with which they measured the ground, surveyed the alley through which the Sangre de Dios flows, and calculated the height of the mountains. They were engineers, traoing the course of the Southern Pacific railroad, tho gigantic ironway whleh traverses the country from East to West, and joins the Atlantie to the Pacific, New York to Sun Francisco Among these men was one who appeared to take no part in the work All day he with his eompanlona wandered about the mountains, striking the rocks with a small steel hammer, carefully gathering up the fragments which he detached from the man ills name wu Atkina and the Inhabitants regarded him as a madman. Several times he met Juan going to his work, his pickax upon his shoulder. At a distance he followed him, watched him, and at night, when he was absent, wont and assured himself as to the progress he wu making.
