This I accepted, when he again backed out In tiew of this offer ofMr. Bkllei, as well u all the olroumilanoes, do you not think I was fairly entitled to tbe money 1 Pleaae answer In your nezt Falling thus to make anything by bis gu, he wanted the itapehotder to give him the money, offering to in- demnify him against any losai After disputing aoma time, tne itakeholder gave to this " honest and gentle- manly sportsman" his own money back, as be was fearful of getting Into dUBoulty blniaeU. This " old and experienced hand on the turf," no sooner had his claws on the money, than be departed, Ulobed up the "Bklles Sorrel," which he had traded to Mr. Dontn. and only bonowed for the race, and left SabnylkUl County, If not a richer, at least a wiser man. Now, sir, if Mr. Bklles Is entitled to tht character of an honest sportsman, would he have come to make a match with his borsa disguised In the manner he was, or wlU an "old and experienced band on the tnil" get tight by simply sitting In a bar room a short time. Now, as to " Argus'" challenge, contained In the lut paragraph of bis commnnlcaUon, I have to say to blm, If he wants to make a match for " BkllesP Sorrell," I will run htm Crom a half a mile to a mile beats, same ground, same weights aa before, for^from 8200 to $600 a ^e, and as the Sorrel was held In before, this wUl give them a chance to let blm out ^ If "Argos," or anv of the backers of BUlea' Sorrel, want to make a maton of $100 a side forfblt, they oan do so either through the CurpiB, or by .letter to me at BUverlOreek, Schuylkill County. It the Sorrel is the horse he is said to be, he certainly ought to be able to beat a colt that works every day In a porter wagon, that does not pretend to the character of a running boise.

A TALE OF STBANQE MTSTER7 IN THE SOUTH AND NOBTH. BT BED BVKTLIHB, , AtnaoB OF "BivisiBtBuiiT," "iiau, iKD nsn>," "Booaa una wooes," ita, CHAPTER I. Alono the whole southern and weatien ooaat of Florida, from the ancient Fort of Saint Marks to Key West, there were no aettlementa, and only a few Bpaolsh fltblng atv tlona at Tampa Bay, Manltee, Boca Grande, and Sanabel, at.the dot* when we draw the curtain of the drama which we eflto to the reader, nearly forty years ago. A gale waa Uowlog, a terrtio gale, from tne Bouth-eaat, rolling up tbe wavea from the £ay of Mexico—aa that portion Isolde of the Golf baa been named—and sending them on the sandy ahore, where they broke In lofty walla of foam. Bo Heroely did the tempeet rage that the Span- ish flshermen could not pome their avocation I They were obliged to lay tbelr nets out upon the Inner branch of the point of Boca Grande, where their ranobe waa es- tablished, and seek refuge inthelow,pBlmstto-tbatohed hula buUt for tbelr thelter, which, though located in a ravine, where the wind had not fall play upon them, seemed bardiv strong enough to withstand the gale. Here, smcklog their cigarettoi, they, huddled, soma ourslng and grumbling at tbe weather; others uttering a prMer, now and then, to San Antonla—oil discontented and out of aorta. Suddenly, however, the booming of caononry—and that close at band—startled all of them to their feet, and with one idea thev rufhed slmultanecua- ly ootrto see what conld be off that coaat in euoh a storm, and why the oannon were fired. Oo reaching the elevat- ed point that bounds to the south the narrow entrance to ue bay, which extends fair back Into the swamps and ^vilda of the country, they saw a large schooner, foretop- sail rig, evidently armed heavily and with a fall crew, ■landing in toward the coast, under a fearful press of oanvae. And only about a mile neater, but so close to the ahore that tbe persons of those cn boara of her could be plainly seen, was a small but beautifd lchoone^boat— no more than five or six. tons burthen, and but partially decked over, yet she rode the aea like a daok, and seem- ed to cut tbe water as a bird cleaves tbe air. Upon her deck were three persons—a man who stood at tbe helm, a lovely female, who dung to tbe weather shroud a few feet before him, and by the hand she held a little girl, whoce gloan rlogletsflutiered out Uke penons on tbe gala. Against this boat and Ita helplesa crew, to tbe wonder of tbe Spaniards, the cannonnade of tbe large, black-sid- ed echocotr was directed. To tbelr surprise, the more, because the lohooner showed no flag, and did not seem, by her looks, to be either a Guarda Costa er a man-of-war. "Eiwta Firala—li la a pirate"—they muttered, and, oroealog themselvesj they prajed earnestly for the escape of " ISI gtUta Aica" —the Uttle aohooner—and some of toe more earaeet of them ran down to the point, and by beck- onlngsand signals, endeavored todwect thefigltlves how to run Into the narrow channel, whisb, having once entered, would place them In safety for a time. The man at tbe helm saw tbem, seemed to understand, and, keep- log his craft ateady for the abore, eoon peiedved now to Bteer to make the entrance. Meantime the ebot from tbe ■uraubg vissel were ploughing up tbe water all around mm. TRice bad bta email sails been perforated, time af- ter time had the spray fVom the hlaelng ahot dashed over him, yet no (par was touched—nor he, or the woman, or child nurt, and they now were very dose to tbe shore; Though tbey trembled for it, yet tbe Bpaalarda hoped for that bold steenman's safety, for he seemed to bear a charmed lU^Death came so near and yet refh^Ined. He was now upon the outer range of breakers which broke acroisthe barr-nobly bis lovely boat rose open them—reelbg and staggering liefore the gale, in she sped through the yeast of foam: a moment more and she was In smooth water. A glad horrah rose from the lips of the fldiermen, but lis eohoea were huahed in the fearful burst of the schooner's whole broadside, as she rounded to, scarce, a half mtla off, and threw a shower of grape and cannlster at the hapless fogtllves. With a shudder, they tuned to see its effects. They groaned and beat their breasts as tbey saw the lovely woman, who bad held the child by the hand, fal) to the deck, and saw tbe man, who, letting go the beiita, permitted bis boat to luff op nnder the lee of tbe head-land, spring forward and raise her in his armii, while great torreilts of blood gathed out from her breast and ran in crimson ourrenta over ber white dresa. They manned aeveral of their fishing oanoes and hur- ried Aff, in spite oi the driving gale, to offer their asats- tance. They found the man, a young and noble-icoking person, kneeling upon the deck and trying to ataunohthe wound, bnt all u vain, while the terrified child olnog to the corse and moaned--" Mamma, mamoa, speak to Ooal" , It waa a pltlfd soena. Thev made tbeurrade bnt well- meant offers of aid, and then, for the first time, he eeemed to be aware that they were alongdde of bis boat, for, with the fierceness of a maniac, he half raised her form tnm the deck, and while hia eyes glared and hla long hair blew ontstralght on the gale, he uouted— Off I off I She is mordered I she Is mordsred I" Then he laid the body down, Irlnuqed his tattered aallr, then sprung to the helm, and, before another minute had passed his boat waa flying like a guH before tho storm, far up the bay amid the thouaanda of. islands which lay between the sea coait and the " Big Cypress." A wild mystery to tbem was in all this. Never bad they aeen a more beautlfal l^y. She waa tall, ravan- halred, lovely In feature, and perfect in form. And cost- ly Jewels glittered on her fingers, braoeleta of gold dasp- ed ber wiuta, and also were on her fafr round arms above the elboW& By this they deemed her Bpanlah. As soon as tne boat had InSisa in out of sight of the schooner, the latter commenced makbg signals for a pilot, having shortened safl«ndhove to aanear the shore as she dared. But, had it been pottlble fo^ themti^gc out to her, there was not one of thoaa honest fishermen who would have helped to do farther wrong to the wietehtd fagltlvei whoever he might be, by aldlos to bring the Bcbooner In that she might renew the pursuit Gnu alter gun did the tohooner fire, (ind then, with men at her mast head, she stood dose In as If to reocnnolter tho bar, to aee If it were paaaable; and though it was, and for a vessel of larger else than her, lor the sea broke In four fathoms water npon It, and the men on shore could by slogns have easily guided her across, tbey would not do it The sight which they had witnessed had sickened their haarta, and mora than one nrayer was uttered that night, that the pirate, for snob they deemed her, would alnk berbre tht morning dawned again. But, during the night, the temptBtdaokeotd, and when momlBgeamethewlndhtdalmostdledaway. Thenthei sai^ the low blaiik hull if the sehoontr rising and fdllo with the swell of the aea, as she lay at anchor aboat mlltf'frctB there—her tall spare, with the canvas clc« fotled, ataoding In bold outline between them and rologj leas sky. As eoon aa It was fatrlv light, a boat was Io« ered Otom the veaael, manned with an armed orew. The puUad in npon and over the bar, taking lonndlogsaii Dcarloga as they went, and aeon found that their aohoont could,,without dllflonlty, make the anchorage iodde Tb«y retafned to Jier. and. In a short time, she waa got on deM^ay, run in and nronght to an anohor under the sam lee where the atranger'a boat had luffed up the day before and Within musket ahot of the huts of the fiahermea The latter were much alarmed, but tbey bad nothing t< be robbed ofexcept a few thoaiand pounds oi dried 0tl and their nets and oanoes, so they did not fiy, bat wlu many prayers to their patron aalntr, awaited the result 0 whatever might oome. In a little while an armed boat landed from the veasel and one who aeemed to be her commander spraog to thi shore. He was riohly dressed, etrcagly framed, thorough Ir armed, and his feitnrea would not have been nnoomel ll passion had not evidently made its throne wllhln h heart His look was that of one seeking for a vlcUm with the ardor of a Malay, wishing for bloody vengeance fot some wrong or fanoied irj ary. His age was probably not more than thirty—bis ligbt hair and complexion spoke of Anglo-Saxon blood.' With blm waa a lean, sallow-faced lodrndual, dresaed In blaok, evidently ten or fifteen yean older, whoie email, snake-like eye»,thlnllpa, narrow fore, head, and oloee ebaved face made him look, what he rarely was, a villain; fniail^ a kind of Judas or Arnold, -read; to b» one for any one. It money was In qaesUon. 1 The first comer, In an imperious tone, demanded of tbe I flshermen why they did not anawer his elgnal for a pUoL He was replied to by the eldest of the party, a gray- haired Mlnoroan, one Pablo Conovas, whd, among hlacom- padons, had the reputation of fearing neither man nor the devlL "We didn't understand your elgod," said he, boldly; " and, if we had, we bad no boat wbloh could live In the turf on the bar yeaterday 1" " Tet yon could algoalizs tbe villain who cros^d by your dircctlona, when we were nm of his oaptare I" " That waa not half so bad as you murdering hla poor wife I" said tbe old Bpanlard, bitterly.

" Ask the ioBolent dog no qaeatlona, Counsellor; Jknou that she waa married to blm; that'a aiough I" said the other. Impatiently.
