ne dld the most unusual things. It
happened in the spring of 1872. Bart
had been doing smashing business in
more sense than one in the northern
part OF the state, and he had become
such terror that double guard was
sent out with every coach that went
rom Sacramento to Nevada City. Once
ne attempted to hold coach up against
such odds that he failed, and only
escaped after a long chase through the
mountains, during which he was
wounded severely, and the guards were
confident that, mortally hit by their
bullets, he had managed to crawl into
some one OF his retreats and died. For
several weeks nothing was heard from
Bart, and, believing him dead, the ex-
press companies relaxed their vigilance,
and the mails and strong boxes were
sent out once more with but one man
beside the driver to guard them.
Northeast of Sacramento. about
twenty-five miles, in the Sierra Nevada
mountains, is deep canon, at the head of
which is beautiful fall of water known
as THE Maiden's Tears The Nevada
City trail wound through the canon.
Near the falls the trail lay across fiat,
open space, with the stream on one
side and pilesof huge powders on the
other.
A few weeks after the woundinp of
y Black Bart coach was crossing this
open space. The guard, on the seat by
the side OF the driver, was DOING in the
heat OF the sun, and the driver was
struggling to keep his eyes open. In
side the coach were seven passengers,
among whom was young woman
bound for Nevada to teach school. She
was good looking and plucky. She had
been a teacher four years in the min

thoroughly acquainted with the GUS
