AS we left Sandy Gulch for Rising

go by the stage, and the route was over
the mountains and full of olances of

breakfast as soon as the stage was ready,
anu LOOKING about On the passengers he
selected a small, pale faced man and
invited him to climb up beside him,
"h!e the pale faced man was climbing
the driver whispered to the rest of us:
II picked him out in order to scare
him to death. You fellows will see a
heap OF fun before we've gone ten

Two minutes west of the gulch the
road made sudden turn, with a sheer
fall of 100 feet down to Wild Cat creek.

In his determination to make close
call of 1t one wheel ran off the edge of
the precipice, and only sudden effort
of the horses saved the coach. We were
flung in heap and frightened half to
death, but the man beside the driver
never lost puff of his cigar. When
things were safe, the driver turned on
him with:
