NIGH UNIO
DEATH
By ALVA R. HUNTINGTON
It was sit a time when the t-rans
mississippi ? *i > 1 1 1 1 ( ry was developing. and
instead of tlu- iron horse, with its train
dashing along at the rate Of tlfty miles
an hour, the stagecoach lumbered at
the rnto of live or six. One of these
couches left Denver one morning,
struck the mountains at Golden City,
mouuUsl to the highest point and mov
ed on down ward and upward alternate
ly toward Georgetown.
On the top of the coach a gentleman
and >his family were enjoying the
scenery. The driver sat on his box
trying to keep awake, for he had heen
drinking, while beside him sat a young
man whose costume denoted that he
wan a resident of the region. The
coach reached the top of Ian ascent,
and the road In front wound downward
tn one of those frequent dips in the
mountains. It had begun the descent,
and the young man sitting beside the
driver, noticing that lie had failed to
put on the brake, looked aside at him
to see what it meant. The fellow was
asleep and had not only failed to
"brake." but had let go his hold on
the reins, which were now down on the
pole.
A punch In the ribs awoke the driver. !
who. seeing the reins dangling from j
the pole and the coach rolling rapidly j
down the crooked road, jumped from |
his seat, preferring rather to be Injur
ed by a fall on the stony road than to
"be hurled over a precipice he knew to
be at a turn farther down.
There were shrieks from the women
passengers, while the men were para
lyzed. But among the latter there was
one exception. The. young man left
alone on the box let himself down on
the pole, gathered up the reins, climb
ed back on to the box and put on the
brake. The horses were by this time
so wild and the speed so great thnt It
was very difficult to control the one
and lesseu the other. Not an eighth of
a mile distant was the turn In the
road, with n gulf a thousand feet deep
on one side. The cries and shrieks had
ceased with the effort thus far mnde
to regain control. 'and every ey$ was
fixed on the danger ahead, every breath
held in terror.
The man 011 the box kept a firm hand
on the reins and pushed with all his
'strength with his right foot on the
break There was :i lessening of the
speed, but would it be reduced siitli
cicntly to go safely round the carvel'
The hearts of those who?e lives wore
at stake were throbbing in time with
the jumping of the horses. When the
turn was reached the velocity was
Htlll so great tlmt there was little hope.
The women recommenced to shriek.
"Stop that!" said the driver. "You'll
excite th?' horses."
The cries censed. There whs no
sound except what came from the
horses' hoofs nnd the creaking: of the
conch, while every one held with a
tight grip to his sent and looked with
straining eyes nt the gulf before him.
The driver guided the horses ns nenr
the rock' on the Inner side as ho dared,
for should he hit It the coach would
be knocked over the precipice. Not
withstanding his effort so great was
its swing when it mndo the turn that ,
n hind Wheel slid over n slope a few
feet from the edge. The driver nave
a yell to the horses and threw the long
lash of his whip among them Villi a
crack. Every animal gave a Jurtip. t h??
wheel came hack on level ground, and
the rest of the turn was made In
safety.
The final effort caused the horses'
to break forth again, nnd ngnln they
must bo brought under control. But
now the rond wus comparatively
strnlght nnd soon the Inclination begnn
to lessen. In a few minutes the bot
tom of the dip wns reached, and the
conch was brought to a standstill.
Then the driver wns Infolded in the
nrins of thosfe on the outside of the
conch, both men nnd women.
An hour later the conch drove up to
the hotel at Idaho Springs and all
alighted. The gentleman who was
traveling with Ilia wife and family took
the driver aside for a private inter
view.
"You have saved the lives of a coach
lond of persons." lie snld. "Including
myself, my wife nnd family. Had It
not been for your coolness and courage
we would all have met with a frightful
denth. Whnt enn I do for you? I'm
rich and my fortune Is nt your dls
posnl."
"You owe me nothing, sir." snld the
young man, with n British nccent.
"My own life wns In jeopardy. in
snving myself I saved the others."
"Yon could hnve left the conch ns
the cowardly driver did."
To this the young man made no
reply.
"Come.** resumed the gentleman:
"anything you nsk thnt Is in my power
to grnnt shall be granted. "
The young man hesitated, then said:
"I don't belong here: I came from
Englnnd. You know the younger sons
in Englnnd must shift for themselves.
I came to this country, where I nm not
known, nnd enn turn my linnd to any
thing. Belnc: fond of horses. 1 drove a
stnee I have left that and am going
up to Georgetown to start on n pros
pecting tour."
Hut the young man's p'.ans were
changed lie went to the east en

whose Mf?? he saved and Is now
wealthy. Il<> ??nys that he went just I
