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."
