God knows what is going on; though of one thing we are certain no American, never mind whatsoever he may be, can go into Sonora, with or without a passport. Very sincerely yours, P. R. Brady. Aug. 5, 1850.

Chad says that affairs are so disturbed across the line that probably the Government won't make Phil any trouble, but that if he showed himself in Sonora some of the friends of that man Mendoza would be sure to kill him." "I suppose so." Mrs. Seymour sighed. Her harum-scarum young son was on her mind a good deal. "Now, don't you fret, honey, about Steve Yeager.

Sonora looked more puzzled than ever; he rested his hand upon her desk as if to support himself, and said: "I don't quite understand. Great Gilead! We done anythin' to offend you?"
