She was the only passenger, beside her lit
tic one il the very same coach on the box

tho whole truth was not told.

this lady, are most thrilling. and herself the
I'rincipa actor in them. 1nstantaneously
with tho shooting Of tho driver. Mrs. Ger.
rish leapsd out OF tho stage, leaving her
child within. At the same moment, four.
or five shots more were fred by the Indians
ons of which struck horse in the head,
and he fell. She instantly Gu. him loose,
mounted the box, and cizng tn reins, -p.
pied the whip vigorously. The driver on
being shot, fell back into tho boot behind
:ho seat. The three horses were put to tho
top OF their speed, and continued running
tor about two miles, whom luckily they en-
coun'ered another stage from the opposite
direction. IL this was number ofsoldisrs
who instantly came to the aid Of tho hero.

from their perilous position. Mrs. Gerrish
is young woman and Of delicate physique.
but her conduct durisg this frighttul sdven-
