There it stoodin all its gray grandeur, still cmbewercd in the midst of beautiful groves of orange and olive. But the broken fence the tall weeds standing up against the wallsâ€"the shingles here and there missing from the roofâ€"â€"â€"all told the tale of ruin. There was ruin in my heart, as I turned sorrowing away. CHAPTER XXXI. A CIRCUITOUS TRANSACTION. Such were my reflections as I journeyed onâ€"-â€"suggcsted by the sad tale to which I had been lis- toning. As if to confirm their correctness, an incident at that moment occur- red, exactly to the point. We had not. ridden far along the path, when we came upon the tracks .of cattle. Some twenty head must have passed over the ground, going in the same direction as ourselvesâ€"â€" towards the Indian ‘ reserve.’ The tracks were freshâ€"almost quite fresh. I was tracker enough to know that they must have passed within the hour. Though cloistered so long within college walls, I had not forgotten all‘ the forest craft taught me by young Powell. ‘ The circumstance of thus coming upon a cattle-trail, fresh or old, would have made no impression upon me. There was nothing remarkable about it. Some Indian herdsmen had been driving home their flock; and that the drivers were ‘Indians,I could perceive by the moccasin printsin the mud. It is true. some frontiers-men wear the moccasin ; but these were. not the footprints of white men.â€"â€"» The turned-iu'toes, the high instep, and other trifling signs which, from early training, I knew how to translate, proved that the tracks were Indian. ' So were they, agreed my groom, and Jake was no 'slouch’ in the Ways of the woods. He had all his life been a keen ’coon-hunter-â€"-a trapper of the swamp-hare, the ‘pos- sam,’ and the ‘gobbler.’ Moreover,he had beenl'rny companion upon many a deer-h-untemany a chase after the gray fox, and the rufous ‘ cat.’ During my absence he had added greatly to his experiences.

We drew closer to the spot. The T evergreen trees concealed lbs per- .fectly. fWe get up to the edge of an opening; and there, ,saw the herd of beeves, the, two Indians who had driven them, and the brace of worthies already named. . We stood under cover watching and. listening; and'in a very short 'while, with the help of a few hints I soon found that in this ‘ kind ofl‘from my companion, I comprehended ) knowledge he was now, my master ; and, almost on the instant, I had cause to be astonished at, his acute? ness. - . I have said thattho sight of the cattleâ€"tracks created no surprise in eitherof us. At first it did not ; but we had not ridden twenty paces fur- ther, when I saw my companion suddenly rein up, at the same instant giving utterance to one of those eja- culations peculiar to the negro thorax, and closely resembling the ‘wugh ’ of a startled hog. I looked in his face. I saw by its expression that he had some revela- tion to make. ‘ What isit, Jake l’ ‘ Golly l Massr George, d’you see daat ?' ‘ W hat'l’ ‘Daat down dar.’ l ‘I see a ruck of cow-tracksâ€"mo- ,the whole affair. Each of the Indiansâ€"worthless outcasts of their tribeâ€"AWas pre- . seated with a bottle of whiskey and a few trifling trinkets. This. was in payment for their night’s workâ€"â€" the plunder of lawyer Grubbs’s pastures. Their share of the business was now over gand they werejust in the act of delivering up their charge as we arrived upon the ground. Their employers, . whose droving bout was here to ’begin,rltad 'ust handed lover their'rewards. The Indians might go home and get‘drunk : they were no longer needed. The on tle would be taken to some distant part of the countryâ€"where a market would be readily foundâ€"or, What was of equal probability, they would find. their Way back to lawyer Grubb’s own plantation, having been thing more.’ ‘ Doant you see dat big ’un 'l’ ‘ ‘Yesâ€"therc is one larger than the rest.’ ' ' ‘ By Gosh l it om do big 0X Ball- faceâ€"~l know um track anywha-â€"- many’s the load 0’ cpress log dat ar ox hab touted for ole massr.’ ' ‘ VVhatI I remember Boldfaceâ€"â€" You think the cattle are ours 7.’ ‘ No, Massrs Georgeâ€"4 ’spect tha be do lztwya Grubb’s cattle.

The cattle could not have strayed so far of themselves. Their voluntary swimming of the river was against such asupposition. But they were not straying; they were evidently conductedâ€"â€"and by Indians. Was it a raid ?â€"â€"were the hooves being stolen I It had the look ofa bit of thievery, and yet it was not crafty enough. The animals had been driven along a frequented path certain to be taken by those in quest of them ; and the robbersâ€"if they were suchâ€"had used no precaution to conceal their tracks. ’ It looked like a theft,and it did not; and it was just this dubious as- pect that stimulated the curiosity of my companion and myselfâ€"â€"so much so, that we made upour minds to follow the trail, and if possible ascertain the truth. , For a mile or more, the trail coin- cided with our oWn route ; and then turning abruptly to the left, it struck off towards a track of .‘ hom- moek ’ woods. We were determined not to give ' up our intention lightly. The tracks were so fresh, that we knew the herd must have passed within the hourâ€"~wnhin the quarterfâ€"ethey could not be distant. We could gal- lop back to the main road, thrt ugh some thin pine-timber we saw stretching away to the right; and, with these reflections, we turned head along the cattle-trail. Shortly after entering the dense forest, we heard voices of men in conversation. and at intervals the routing of oxen. ' We alit, tied our'horses, to a tree, and moved forward afoot. We walked stealthin and in sil-v ence, guiding ourselves ~ by the sounds of the voices, that kept up an almost continued clatter. Beyond a doubt, tne cattle whose bellowing,r we board were those whose tracks we had been tracing; but equally certain was it, that the voices we now listened to were not the voices of those who had driven them! It is easyyto distinguish between the intonation of an Indian and a white man. The men whose con- versation reached our ears were whites-«their language was our own, with all its coarse embellishments. My companion’s discernment went’ beyond thisâ€"~â€"he recognised ,the- individuals. i ‘ r ‘ ' rectly across it.‘ rescued by . the gallant fellows Spence and Williams lrom a band of. Indian drivers! This would be a fine tale for the plantation firesideâ€"~21 rare chance for a rt-rprcsentationto the police and the'powers. Oh, those'savage Seminole rob-’ ber's! they must be got rid ofâ€"thcy must be ‘ moved ’ out. As the cattle chanced to belong to lawyer Grubbs, 'I did not choose to interfere. "I could tell my tale elsewhere; and, witheut making our presence known, my companion and I turned Silently upon our heels, regained our horses, and went our way reheating. I entertained no doubt about the justncss of our surmiseâ€"â€"no doubt that Williams and Spence had employed the drunken Indiansâ€"mo more that lawyer Grubbs had em- ployed Williams and Spence, in this circuitous. transaction. - The stream must be muddied up. wardâ€"thepoor“ Indian must be driven to desperation; ' REFLECTIONS BY THE WAY. '. Hitherto we had been travelling through a“ pine-forest. About noon we passed from it into a large tract of homm'ock, that stretched right and left of ‘our ' course. The road‘ or path we followed ran‘l‘di’ The scene became suddenly chang-, ed as if by avmagic transformation. The soil under. our feet was ,dif- fercnt, as also the foliage over our heads. The pines were no longer around us. Ourview was inter- rupted on all sides bv a thick front- age of evergreen treesâ€"â€"‘some with broad shining 'coriaceous leaves. as the magnolia that here grew to its full stature. Alongside it stood the live-oak, the 'red mulberry, the Bourbon laurel, iron-wood, Hale- sia and . Callicarpa, while towering above all rose the cabbage-palm, proudly waving its plumed crest in the breeze, as if saluting with so- percilious nod its humbler compa- nions beneath. Ha ving'crossed'this belt of dark forest, near'its opposite edge we came upon One of these singular ponds alreadydescribedwa circu- lar basin surrounded by hillocks and rocks of, testa’ceous formation-«.â€" an extinct water-volcano. In the barbarous jargon of the Saxon settler,.,.these :are termed ‘sinks,’ though‘»most inappropriately, for where they contain water, it is al- ways of crystalline brightness and purity.
