would dash forward upon the horses. The
team was in a swinging trot, and legs

them warning of their danger.
There was not an instant 10 lose; 20 l

and down the long, smooth hill we went
on a run. II horse should stumble or
fall, IL meant death TO more than one pas
senger on board, but fortunately the road
was smooth, and the animals kept their
feet piled the lash and again shouted
to the leader as the big coach began tn gain
upon them. The passengers grew fright
ened as the vehicle reeled and rocked under
the tremendous speed. Several cried,
"Stopl StopP' But this was just what
could not do. The young husband be-
lieved me insane for the moment, and,
drawing a pistol, cried, "Now, hold up or
by heaven will put bullet through your
hearth Instead of attempting to comply
/ again dashed my team, for In a moment
or two the danger would be over. The
young man sternly repeated his threat but
just then his wife struck the pistol and
knocked IL out of his hand. With wild
yell at the team, which made them all
spring forward out Of the reach of the
mighty wheels, we dashed out upon the
plain at the foot of the HILL and soon was
in position to pull up and explain our
danger. The young married woman, who
had been quite cool up to that instant,
tainted dead away and came near falling
from the seat. On reaching the end of our
journey the passengers dubbed together
and bought me a handsome gold watch,
but can assure you that would not take
that ride again for all the watches on earth.
One trip we had new driver, who was
going up the road to take position. He
was handsome young fellow, who, from
his curling hair, was called Kinky Jim.
He was skilled reinsman, but was cool
and cautious and took no desperate chances,
as some of the drivers did. On reaching
the breaking in station we thought we
would have little fun ut his expense, so
asked him to take the ribbons He never
but gathered up the lines, shouted
to turn them loose, and away he went. 1t
was a wild ride for a mile or two, and then
he tried to hold up, but this the passengers
objected to.

shouted big nosed man.

drummer.

A CHASTITY Spectacle.

1t was announced that man would be
hanged at the Westminster Aquarium, In
London, one day recently and good
many people assembled to witness this ele-
waiting spectacle, which is understood to
have been imported from Paris. They did
not see the man hanged, but when they
were admitted to the chamber of hor-
rors" they found him already hanging
from the roof by a rope which passes
through the ceiling He was dressed In a
French workingman's serge suit and wore
voluminous red scarf around his neck
which completely concealed the disposition
OF the rope The official explanation of the
performance is that the weight rests on
the jaw, not on the soft parts of the neck.
1t was CHASTITY spectacle and was so un-
successful as a money making scheme that
the managers have since withdrawn the
exhibition.

He stood it pretty we'll till I, too, began
poking fun at him, when he cried, "Gen-
tlemen, can ride as fast as any one canr'
and before 1 could imagine what he in
tended to do threw the lines out of his
hands to the ground and began whipping
his horses. Run9 If you ever saw a
team run, those eight horses did that day.
The coach rolled to and fro till I thought
a dozen times it would tip over, yet that
fellow stood up in his seat plying the silk
and shouting: "Turn 'em loose, this ain t
no hearsep' Don't put on the brakel'
"Give the ribbons to Charley" and other
expressions that we had used Fortunately
for his neck and ours there was not stick
or stone, not a rock, clod or rut in the
whole valley, or we would have struck
something and tipped over. About mile
from the other station, for the leaders kept
the road, there was a stretch Of sand, and
here the horses had TO stop from their run.
The moment they slowed down into a trot
a dozen Of us sprang of the coach and
caught up the lines, thus stopping the
team. AS we handed him the lines he
gathered them up as coolly as you please
and only said, Gentlemen, did we ride
fast enough" There was no more attempt
to try Kinky Jim's nerve.

The two men rolled over, and save for
the occasional flash of the Cheyenne's
