We stand and gaxo in horror, as If struck dumb, until tho actual truth which has burst sud­ denly upon us is made clear and Indis­ putable, when wo begin to um our reasoning powers, and look for cause. Such an experionco was that of Anton Boymsn on a bright July morning, aa far back as 1875, Anton was the 'foreman of tho Posada wine cellars. Threo years .boforo ho bad loft his homo on the Rhine, and bad come to tempt fortune in the land of the setting sun. For months bo had wandered around earning what little he could, doing odd jobs in various largo towns of Middlo California, bnt poor snncea*, or rather entire lack of suooesa, a t last made him so disgusted with city l i f t that be tamed bis hack upon bricks • a d mortar and set his fsoe and feet to­ ward tho free, frosh country. In his old home he had learned enough to make him a very useful hand In a vineyard or a wine collar, and after wearying in his. useless efforts to reap a Sortano from tho sidewalks of BanFran- oisoo, he hod found his way tothobeauti- fa l and fertile Sonomavalley. His advent kero was as devoid of good results as bis coaming through San Francisco had been until be finally had the good fort- *ne to meet a friend In tbo person of Jfario Deiato, a prosperous vintager, who bad need a t th a t time of such a Man a t Anton. From that day until the one la the early morning of which we find him •rending his way to wsrk ho had given h is matter faithful servioa and bad been xnwnrdoi accordingly. Anton was in s gay mood this morn­ ing. He had breakfasted well and had biased hie yonng wife and year-old babe when he pertod foots theta with such bright settles as lm had no t worn for many a day. His thoughts were tinged with gayest knee, and as he walked •long he sang lustily a* old German hunting song in a manne r which would have dene credit to • Saxen Jager Ifsister, Anton had been born In the midst of beautiful ratal scenery, hat nature had ho t lost Its eh sm for him. He wss never wearyof gating admiringly a t the beautiful tsndseape which lay strtoehed Before him. For him the brown, vino- d a d hill possessed a never-failing, ir­ resistible charm and he loved to revet in the grandeur of the sight while he compered it with the enchanting coun­ try be had left beyond the set.

It almost seemed as though ho bad thought bis blood too rich to mingle with the dirt on the road-sido, and had therefore with his ’<ist remaining 1strength-dragged bimsolf to tho soft,. fertilo soil which he had for so many years tilled.. On his face was- an expression horri­ ble as that whichsome of us have seen on tho faco of a dead soldier, when death has come by a bayonet wound, struck by a hand sklilod in tho use of that woupon, beside wblcb ho lay in a list­ less attitude. His arms were spread out­ ward and ono knee bent; while his oyes woro unclosed, and, although, covered by tho glassy film of death, scorned to gate upward with a wild, weird stare. Every thing pointed to a cruel, suddon and unexpected end. Who has not at one time or another experienced the awful, inexplicable sensation which' now held full sway ovor simple-minded Anton? Even at quiet bed-sides, whore those whom wo havo loved and cherished lio cold In death after long and tedious sickness— when wo stand in tho prescnco of tho King of Terrors, after wo havo been, perhaps, sadly waiting his arrival for many days—oven then wo aro prone to ask: “Can this bo our friend sleeping his last sloop? Can this ho bo who took our hand and spoko so cheorily but a few days sinco?" And suddon doatb only intensifies this dreadful inability to grasp and comprehend what is. alas, so sternly true. Yesterday, Mario Dolaro, in the wnrm glow of perfect, healthy manhood: to­ day, . a soulless corpse, ghastly and livid! ; It took Anton somo moments to re­ cover from the shock, but when ho'did, his first thought was to took for the causo of this tcrriblo spectacle. lie examined tho breast of the dead man, but found no wound: thon ho noticed that tho blood had flowed from beneath tho loft shoulder and ho knew tbatMario Dolaro, the beloved of all who know him, the man who never feared to faco his enemy, had boon struck from behind. He was mystified, and the terror with which his soul was filled prevented him from action, so that for many moments ho knelt staring a t the corpse, as though be expected to see it come'’ to life. At last, howovor, ho awakened to the necessity of the hour and arose to look around. There was not a being In sight, so without stopping for further reflection ho hastened in the direction of the cellars, tbo ontranco to which was scarcely a stona’s throw from where he stood, Thoro ho expected he would find tome one. Ho was not disappointed, for two of tho cellar-moo soon appeared and in a short timo he bad told them the dreadful news, ss well as his ex­ cited stato would permit, and they sli three made their way to the victim of a font and, a t present, mysterious crime. They were all Gormans and with natural Teutonic caution each refused to touch the corpse until some person of authority was present Ono of them was m old man who had Worked around tho vineyard and cellars tor years and tho dthor sta ll, gaunt young fellow who wss s recent acquisition to the place, * Neither of the threo could advance any reasonable theories. The oidman lciiew everybody for miles around, but ootild not remember that Mario had an enemy. Anton had known the dead man for more than two years, and had never heard a. hitter word spoken of him, while the youngest man of tbo throe only knew that during the short time ho had been there he had received Ms |»ay regularly, and had heard his em­ ployer spoken of as a good fellow. The other two looked to Anton for some suggestion, and he gave the only one of which he could think. I t was that the young man should make all baste into the town of Ban Pools and Inform tho authorities of what bad happened, jvithout letting any more people know of it than was absolutely necessary. The messenger was hardly out of sight when the two watchers fell to talking of the excellent qualities in the char­ acter of him who bad met with such a violent death. With tears In his eyes and a votes thick witb’omotion, Anton told of the tender regard ho had for hia dead em­ ployer; he mentioned the many little kindnesses ho had received fromDelaro, and said that he bad seldom heard a harsh or unkind word from him sinoo the first day they had met. The old man could go farther hack into Mario’s history than Anton, and he told of deeds and sets of charity which all redounded to the credit of tho vin­ tager. . I t seemed as though neither of them would ever tiro of talking about him, and when they ceased for a moment ‘to eulogise his character they would endeavor .to speculate on the probable cause of the murder, but no tangible theory presented itself to either of their minds. In the space of half an hour the messenger was seen returning up the road followed by two uniformed officers (the only two of which, the little town could boast) accompanied by another man in civilian’s clothes. As .tboy neared the spot whero the dead man lay, they wore overtaken by a doctor who had received Instructions to follow them an,d had done so, calling into aorvlco tho wagon and horse of a grocer, with the grocer’s boy for driver. The sight of these people gave Anton infinite relief, and he breathed more easily wbon ho felt that the care of his ghastly charge was being shared by others. , Tho first of the officers to approach the body was the marshaL . He took a care­ ful survey of the surroundings, but found nothing that aroused his curiosity in an unusual degree; nothing that would serve as a clow, or indicate that thoro bad been a struggle. The doctor, with the assistance of the others, ex­ amined, the Cody, and found only the one wound immediately below tbo loft shoulder blado, though that wasovldcnt- ly very deop. » Plainly tho blow had been struck by a strong arm and hand, which had not errod in its purpose. . It was useless to surmiso; there was nothing to say in the matter except tho plain, horrible truth that It was' a cold-blooded mur­ der, though whoso hand bad dealt the blow no person could imagine. . The officers noted all tho particulars which they possibly could, and tho doc­ tor, having taken a diagram of tho ex­ act position of tbo body, thoro was nothing left to do but to remove it. They carefully carried tho remains to tho wagon and covering it up with somo empty bags tho melancholy little pro­ cession started for tho town. Thor had not gone far when tboy woro met by a man on horseback. His appearance de­ noted that ho was a person of especial importance in tho community. He was tall but rather thin and had a vor.y por- ccptiblo stoop, although being on horso baok it was not easily noticed, ills oyes were jot black and woro covered by heavy, bushy oyo-brows; his board was carefully trimmed and hLs. dress rather too perfect for tho locality. VVhilo the oppression on his faco was not ropnlsivo, it was of a kind which would cause a man to exorcise extreme caro and Caution in dealing with him, A glanco at his foatures was enough to make clear tho fact that ho was not American born, although bis dress and “ what have tou lying in tub wagon ?* manners would not have Indicated otherwise. As tho party with the wagon drew near to him hp stopped his horse and inquired: “What b the moanitig of this crowdso early in tliemorning?" (It was not yet seven o'clock) “and what 1» it that you have lying in the wagon covered with those bags? Tbo body ot an in­ jured man, if I mistake not—who is it?** and as ho spoko he moved his horse closer to the wagon. * The marshal replied to bis inquiries: "Mr. Velasques, I am sorry to have to tell you that Anton Reyman |* m this morning found tbo dead body 'of your friend and partticrMf. Dolaro in his own vineyard, and wo are now removing it to the town." “Tho dead bodyof my part­ ner?" responded Velasquez, “and are thoro any marks of violence?" “ Indeed there are," Said the officer, “ there is no doubt but that hs has been foully mur­ dered." “B u t my God," exclaimed Velas­ quez, “toa i t be posaibls th a t a gentle­ man whebore’ tha goat will of erarj body, as Mario Dolaro did.' oaa have been slain in cold blood?" “ tioch lu the ossa," calmly replied the officer. "And Is tbero nothing to indicate by whom the dreadful deed wss committed -—no dew?" asked Velasques "We have carofully searched and can find nothing," was the reply. ’ "And what are you. now going to do with tbo body?" pursued the questioner. “We are going to take the body into the town and prepare for an inquest” be was answered. “Meanwhile, Mr. Velasquez, will yon kindly undertake to see that tbe news is gently broken to his v/lfo—poor soul?” asked tbo officer. “lean not at present,” was tho re­ ply, “ for she wont yesterday morning with her little daughter, Armida. to Santa Rosa; but I will try to make ar­ rangements so that tbe news can not reach her suddenly and will telegraph to her friends a t Santa Rosa as soon as 1can resell tho depot ft is not a long ride, but I will start at once and join you later a t the mayor's office," Saying which. Valasquez started his horse a t a brisk trot, and the sad little party moved on at a slower pace. CHAPTER II. , Mario Dolaro, the man whoso dead body bad been found, was, as his name Indicates, an Italian Who had (^migrated to America immediately after the close Of the civil war. while he was still a youth. His parents had been well-to-do, but his father met with reverses in conse­ quence of a patriotic endeavor to estab­ lish some large factories near to Naples, which had turnod out a failure. Young Mario, full of pluck and spirit,, determined not to become in any way dependent on his .'father, in his strait­ ened circumstances, no with praise­ worthy energy ho-resolved to try . his luck in California. Like many others, before and since, ho was doomed to meet with some bitter disappointments, but as ho, had made up his mind to bat­ tle in earnest with tho world, there was little fear that he afould starve. ' ' He first tried tho mining districts, but there met with indifferent success. Still, by hard work he managed to get a little raonoy ahead and drifted to San. Francisco, where ho opened a fruit store. There ho was more successful and soon saved several thousand dol­ lars. Growing tired of the busy, yot hum­ drum life of the city, ho resolved on trying his hand in tho wine-growing districts, and bought a few acres of land In the fertile Sonoma valley. Owing to his imperfect,knowledge of tbo business he at first lost a great deal of monoy in tbe venture, and by tbo time th a t1he had mastered all tho nec­ essary points and was tu.rnlng out sat­ isfactory wines, ho'found that the poor wines which many of his competitors v/ere putting on tho market had caused tho peoplo to speak disparagingly of domestic wines, so that tbo tradp In them was considerably fallen off. iltiwevor, ho continued to p#rsovero In tho face of 111 fortune, and was at last rewarded with success. Elated with bis good fortune, ho con­ ceived the idea of bocoming part owner and manager of ono of the largest wino- growlng concerns In Sonoma County, and in an evil hour took into partner­ ship a Portuguese named boon Velas­ quez, so that bo might havo tho moans to purchaso some . neighboring vino- yards. Velasquez brought quite a largo sum of monoy into tho business, though bow ho came, by it was often afterwards a thomo for speculation in the mind of Maria For noarly a yoa? all went wall and tho prospects for the noxt year woro quito brilliant. Hut boforo tbo end of twelve months' partnership Velasquez began to show signs of lessening per. sonal Interest in the business. Ho took oit-repcated trips to San Francisco and mado frequent domanda for money, which, at first Mario in­ variably mot without questioning; but when one day Velasquez proposed to considerably overdraw his account, a quarrel ensued, caused by Mario's re­ fusal. . Thereupon Velasquez displayed char­ acteristics which told that ho was not quito tho polished gentleman ho pro- tonded to bo. Hut Mario's refusal served a good pur­ pose; for, after this, Velasquez was not so importunate in nis demands on the financial resources of tho firm. Mat­ ters wont on with comparative smooth- new for a time, but Mario was not well Satisfied with hia partner and often wished that he bad kept along alone in bis old quiet way. As year followed year the Posada property continued to increase In value and Sonoma wines found a ready sale a t all times. Both Mario and his partner were making large sums of money every year. Mario was a carotul man and invested his money very cautiously as fast se he made it, but Velasquez wae given to rash spo liation , and frequently lost large sums of money dabbling in min­ ing stocks in San Francisco. This and bis frequent abssnos from the Posada cellars gave Delaro good cause for complaint, and he suggested to Velasquez the purchase of his sham in the business. To this Velasques would not listen. He was always sure of a good thing, as he knew foil well, so long as he retained his interest In the vineyard and the wlno-cellars and he know enough to stick to his partner. | t o b e c o n t in u e d . !
