Tbe experi enee ol every early adventurer here is dotted with enduring landmarks to guide the noise less step of recollection back through the dim ista of the past, and lengthen the great way of life. The road we traveled to day is broad this evening, and flowers still blossom beside it and thorns stilt liager io tbe sight; but far ther back, and it narrows info - thread like path, ilong which tbe flowers lie dead and centfcu, and, touching. heradthere at a mommentof bliss and sepulchre of hope, sp proiches the confines of mepor'y.Ynd U soon lost to tha sight.. Well, it was the 17th of November. The itf bid been a dreary drizzling ooe. and as night approached the wind lulled, and a hea vy fog rolled like a mighty avalanche of snow ever the hills weot of San Francisco, and set tied in a thick, almost drenching mist, over street and housetop. ' Twas Indeed a chilly, cheerless evening, and we did. not wonder then, nor do we now, that the garabling-hous eg were crowded and tbe bars of tbe drinking saloons thronged, for the city was full ofelran ge a, and promenading tha half-paved street by tbe uncertain light ol an occasional dootj lamp could scarce, be deemoo a positive en joymeot. . ' ' Tha "El Dorado" wu then the great centre of attraotioo. It wu not only one ot the lart eest and most substantial strocturta in tha city, but its propietors were men whose wealth wu counted by tens of thousands, and every bank in its eapaeiooa saloon wu loaded With golden rewind ounce. Through tbe room were rangod no less than twenty tables, at which.-were played faro, raonte, virrgtun. rouge-et-noir, and a variety of other game the very names ol which Have escaped ma- while from a' raised platform poured a tootm dous flood of exquisite tausio from a' band of the hut musicians in tha country. V. Tha finest musical talent in tbe Stale found employment in the gambling-saloons of San-Francisa and Sacramento, and many of the most ncted per formers Id the country to day made their it- hut before an andioooe ol gamblers. Simon ton, tne well-known violinist, and TettIno, one of .tir bfst pianists la tha Stata, for two years occupied togetur tha platform of tha "El Dorado, at Sacrament, receiving sixty for. dollars per iay for their services, and tha Terr flret maiiciaa la the city once led as er ebeVtra at aaotber gsmbl- house la the MCi- tt af tha PUlns. -"' Asre said before; tha " Dorado' of San Franciaco wu crowded.

' ''This way, Jai.e," said a voice to a remaie, who had 'Just emerged from a email wooden baflding Immediately below tbe ""El Dorado." and stood hesitatingly beside a pool of mud and water. ' Th minet 1 stopped, and U tbe woman carefully selected a stepping-plsce and sprang to the pavement, be involuntarily caught her by toe frmr. ' f5bmwhat surprised at tha pnmpt assistance, She gafed into his unihorn face hi a moment, and thanking bim politely; passed on with her companion, who had taken a mora circuitous bn less danger ens (to his polished boots) route to the side walk. Hesitating a moment, the mfoef turned1 and followed. He started u he saw her entering tha gamb'.ing-saloon. Pushing his way through the crowd, he next discovered her seated behind a monte-table. We do hot wonder that he looked at her more than otice that bis heart beat and bis dark eye flash ed for her sweet face wu pile' and care worn, and the smile that played upon it as meanineleu as a wayside moonbeam. ' Her companion, who "caned" and "casned" tne game as she turned the cards, wai what any lady, without a too careful scrutiny of th face would have pronounced a One-looking man He wu dressed in tiie extreme of good taste, with the exception, perhaps, of too great display ofjewelry : His features were regular and his eyea very piercing and restless; but that proud curl of Hp, which not U'ifreqcently denotes manly independence. In him was a repulsive Indication of recklessness and dis dain." Tbe cards were- shuffled and a "layout" given, "ca ake your rets, gentlemen,'' ung out the gambler, while he Jingled a pile of ail ver t afore bim; "a jack and a ten make your beta.1" ' '.. . Pulling bia hat over his eyes the miner ap proached the table and carelessly tossed a got den ounce upon vhe ten.. .The dealer looked upend (gain her eyes met those of tha un shorn stranger. She knew not why for a thousand eyes had gazed as intentlyainto beta before 'but tbe color mounted to brr cheek and she involuntarily admonished tbe miner with a look to withdraw bis bet. The indication, slight though ft appeared, wu not lost to the gambler, who answered it with a frown dark as midnight, and t"rned, a searching stare upon the stranger, who met it with a glance of defiance that brought the band of tha gam bier to tbe handle of a revolver In bis belt. The woman observed alt The miner quietly folded his arms, and the dialer, with a tremb ling hand, proceeded to draw tbe cards, . The Jack won. Again tne caras were aeais, ana two ounces were thrown down by tbe atran'- ger, instead of one. He lost a scoond time, and again and agaiiu,antil a pile of golden pieces bad been transferred from bis pocket to the table. ' ' . , . "Let your husband deal," Mid tba loser, addressing the woman; "perhaps it may change my luck." , , , ; Certainly," replied thi gambler, as he reached .for the caids. At the mention of the word "husband," a peculiar smile rested upon his lips, and tha eyea of tha woman dropped to the table, u if to avoid the scrutiny of the atrancer. that be might not read in them a confession that she bad no husband, although she waa a mother . . But be read all. Again tha cards weis dealt. There was perceptible nervousness of the hand and strange twinkle In the eye ol the miner, as he drew Irom tha' pocket ol his overcoat two pur tea. . Ail eyes were turned towards him "Ml hot a hrmdfed ounces on the acel" he exclaimed to the astonished gambler, dropping the sacks of dust upon tha table, "and will draw the cards myself," 'Five hundred dollars is tba limit," replied the gambler. , , , , t"t4 There is no limit to jour rascality l" thun- derad tha .stranger, "nor should than be to your ramel" and. be replaced th parse in hi pocaes. . . , r?

' Tba miner smiled, and stepping toward th table where tbe woman wu sitting, pale and trembling, ha mid to her, in a low voice Fear nothing if you are sent for do not tail to come;" then taking tha arm of the Een tuckian, be followed the gambler, who was ust quitting tbe saloon, accompanied by a friend.

" Let whatever may transpire thereafter excite rW Inurry, and I will explain all to-morrow," Tbe Sentuckian ' bowed. Doth parties paased down Washington street for some dis tance, and halted in frontof a small two story briok building. Tbe door wu opened by a Chinaman, and- taking a lighted candle, the gambler led the way up a flight of stairs to a small back room..'

Placing all the weapons in his pocket, ex cept the pisto!, which he held cocked, in his bend, Farley released the gambler and order ed him to send lor Jan and carriage. Through the partly-opened door, which the seconds had opened in response to a knock from within, Bingham repeated the order to hisutonished friend. .
