taDce Of forty miles The extra was
IN some way delayed, and did not
leave Folsom until late in the after
noon. Mr.. Greeley was 20 be feted
that evening at seven o'clock by the
citizens of Placerville. and it was
altogether necessary that he should
be there by that hour. So the Stage
Company said to Henry Monk, the
driver of the extra, " Henry, this
great man must be there by seven
tonight" And Henry answered,
"The great man shall be there"
The roads were in an awful state,
and during the first few miles out
of Folsom, slow progress was made.
"Sir," said Mr.. Greeley, care
YOU aware that must be at Placer
vile by seven o'clock?"
GIVE got my ORDERS" laconically
replied Henry Monk.
Still the coach dragged slowly
forward.
"Sir," said Mr.. Greeley, "this is
not a trifling matter. must be there
at seven o'clock tonight" !"
Again came the answer, "1've got
my orders !"
But the speed was not increased,
and Mr.. Greeley chafed away anoth-
er half hour, when, as he was again
about to demonstrate with the driver,
the horses started into a furious run,
and all sorts of encouraging yells
filled tho air from the throat of
Henry Monk.
"That's right, my good fellow !"
cried Mr.. Greeley. "I'll give you
ten dollars when we get to Placer
Vile. Now we are going?"
They were indeed, and at a terri
BILE rate of speed.
Crack, crack! went the whip, and
again that voice split the air. "Git
up! Hi vi! G'long! Yip-yipw
And on they tore, over stones and
ruts, up hill and down, at a rate Of
speed never before achieved by
stage horses.
Mr.. Greedy, who had been bounc-
ing from one end Of the coach to
the other like an india rubber ball,
managed to get his head out of the
window, when he said:
"Do-on't-on't you-ou-think we
e-e shall get there by seven if we
do-on't.on't 60 so fast?"
"I've got my orders !" That
was all Henry Monk said. And on
tore the coach.
1t was becoming serious. Already
the journalist was extremely sore
from the terrible jolting, and again
his head g might have been seen At
"Sir," he said, "I don't cars-are
if we do-ou't get there ut seven !"
IL We got my ortlers"
Fresh horses. Forward again,
faster again than before Over rOclrs
