Wo were sure of a welcome, particularly as wo would come well armed. I had given the sentinels in the police barracks a bottle of brandy every day and a box of cigars every second day during my stay besides what were to them valuable pieseuts, so I wan highly popular in the barracks. We had fixed on tho night of March 20 for the venture. My room was in the second story of the barracks, but I was allowed to go freely thiough all the rooms on that floor, i.d-lowcd more or le-s by a guard.

There was a room leading to au open window, but tho door was kept locked.

It strptclies along tho winding, tixnbliug.sparkling stream called Lidian creek, including only tho fertilo acres which form its valley, and, in tho ver nacular of tho westerner, is called a "shoestring ranch." Great, graceful trees border the creek, and lofty hills rise, clothed in richest verdure, on either side. Westward tho huge mountains themselves tower above it. It is a romantic spot, looking secluded and peaceful enough to satisfy tho most world weary soul imaginable. It is the home of a man whoso lame has probably been spoken in every civilized country tho world, and whoso existence cannot but hold somo interest for every workingman, the class wboie cause he zealously advocated and risked his life for, whether they deem it iuie- EAMUEL FIELDEX.

takenly done or not. Samuel Fieldcn is simple, hardworking ranchman today, and his home is a quiet and humble one in the southern mountains of Colorado. He can be Ecen auy day hard at work cn his few cleared acres as placidly as though this had been his occupation all his life. He locks the typical ranchman already, with his sunburned face, flowing beard, undipped hair, wide hat and dusty farmer's suit. Ho seemed perfect ly at home when I saw him, holding the halters of his hordes and expatiating upon the good points of the meek brown cow which he iiad just purchased.

But I could not but remember, as he stood there free, with tho wide expanse of sconcry around him, tho fresh, air of tho mountains tossing his hair about, what startling changes had come into his life. A little over two years ago the gloomy stone vails of his work yard, the narrow, whitewashed cell v. hero he spt. shut him in day day, with no chance, no glean of light or joy to brighten his dreary existence. Ten years ago ho stood in tho mid of eager audiences, who listened to his strong, rugged eloquence with repcst enthusi asm.

Years befcio he was an earnest hearted Methodist; exherter. and. far ther back, a plain. English weaver. Ee became American citizen us so -n as the law would let him after reiuLkig these Fkores.

He made one the ranks ot America hardworking, sober, toilers, and for a lc-ug time -io imew him as anything else. But ho was a thinker, a reader and an e.bserver. All day long ho pondered and observed, and at night he pored over books. Ho saw that even in Ame-rica tho conditions of working people were far from being just or excellent. He studied the causes and soon made up his mind that one could probably do mere good trying to make this world better than to plead with people to get ready for the next.

His first speaking was among tho religions liberals of Chicago, but the wrongs ot the poor so attracted all his attention, and he threw Jiims'Mt heartily into the raid-" L.bcr rgi- tatiun.

He li frieml of milieu iv. nft 20 and has loug me for the hullet I lodged hun in 1871). A few yc.irs after arrc-tiuH nio in the West Indies ho went tu San and btarted a private inquiry office of his own at 328 Montgomery i-tn ct. When, after 20 years' incarcei.itiou, Iar-rived there ono lovely May day in he vras waiting for mo at th" and gave me warm greetings, and as hearty congratulations "'0, as any man could give another, then introduced me to his friends everywhere, and, in fact, from the hour of my arrival until my departure, three months afterward, was never tired of doing mo a service and forwarding my business, so that, by his kind offices 1 made a great succc-s out of what, by reason of the great financial depression, might otherwise have proved a failure. But as Captain Curtin, after effecting my arrest, having recovered from his wound, was one of the four who took mo to England, I will wait until a later chapter to toll how it was he discovered my name and located me in Cuba.

There was not a single cloud the horizon Havana, but it was on blow a i. My if-) had sent out invitations to dinner for to '0 fricnrlf-.

As im i were out for Tlirr I conclrdid to wait for but d' fermined to sill on tli.u faiL On the day of our dinnei I strongly tempted to give pome hint to my that I v. as in some way entangled in a web, but as she as so happy I could not do it, but resolved to wait until we were settled in Mexico, and then to tell Jut a little, but not all the truth.

My wife, all unconscious of the frightful calamity impending, upon the last half day of happi.ne.-- she was to lajow for many long years. The bame statement would bo true of myself. As the guests were aiming I was in a happy vein, and in the same happy frame of mind sat down to dinner. Twenty happy mortals, but not one divined the termination of that dinner party, least of all the proud and happy hostess. It was a great success, and at 8 was drawing to a close.

Tho long windows were open, whilo tho warm hreezo from the nearby gulf wm pouring through tho room. Tho deck had just chimed the quarter, when theio came a sudden ruph of fret over rhe veranda and through the hall. All eye-were fixed on the open doer leading to tho hall, when an eager, resolute faced man, evidently an American, stepped with a linn paco into the loom, followed by a dozen civiliaus and soldier- With a quick glance over the company his eyes rented on me, and coming di rect to my chair, while my guests stared in amazement, he bowed irirl said in low voice: "Mr. Bidwell. I am sorry to disturb your dinner party or to auuoy you in any way, but I am forced to tell you I iiavo a warrant in my pocket for your arrest upon a charge of foraeiy upon tho Bank of England.

Tho warrant is signed by tho captain general of Cuba. Everything is in due form, and you are my prisoner. I nm John Curtin of the Pinkerton force. Every man who enters tho arena and joins in the struggle of life has more or fewer takedowns in his history. But my wish is that between this hour and my last I may have no more takedowns so near the freezing point as this was I shall never forget the look on my wife's face.

First she gazed at the intruders with indignation, then turned to me with a look of eager expectation, as much as to say. "Wait till my husband raises his arm and you 11 all down." Bat instead of mo iadicnaut and angry, the m. -aw qu-'e calmly to in. Th. 'ltv, deadly whit-.

T)io sti aggie was soon over, mo prisoner under clo-o guard liv bullet s-truck tho captain, breaking a rib and glancing ofT, but ho was game, and when wo shortly after depnrted for the city he rode with me in the same carnage. I tried to snotho my life's but it was iittempting the impossible, so wo drove away for the city three carriages, Pinkerton at-mring my wifo that I should sleep at tho hold. By tho time wo arrived tho news had spread among tho American colony, and as tho hotel was sort of American club delegations of my acquaintances speedily ni rived.

All were loud in denunciation of the outrage. Of course they saw things on tho surface ouly. Soon our Consul General Torbert arrived and assured me he would see that I should be ticated with evi iy consideration ratil such time as the unfortunate w.i cometed. That night I lent at tho hotel with vho took his wound and close all very good naturedly ai-d said he did nor biaiae me at ail, but felt taken do-vn to th'nk I had got the drop on hir.1. Early he moruiug my friend, the chief of police, Colonel Moreno do Vascjs, culled ou me, indignant aud auirrv that I should suffer such discour tesy.

Ho was particularly indignant over the insult to himself in not being consulted, so that he could havo sent me a note to call ou him aud explain. Then ho turned to Captain Curtin and told him to liberate me, as he would be rcpoi'isiUe for mo whenever wanted. But tho captain knew what ho was about and knew his business too well and the biicking he had to pay any attention to Colonel Vascos. I claimed the protection of our consul, but Torbert regretfully told me that on account of from the state department at Washington he was forced to consent to my detention, but he would not permit me to be kept in the ordinary prison. So about l'J next day I was tran-terrcd to the police barracks and put int i the lieutenant of police's renm aud a guard of placed over me.
