But with O quick movement Ne1fia
pushed Dick aside and sprang to her
feet Mice she feared, but highway
men! What We're they but ordinary
men!
How dare you point your guns at
us?' she cried. You towards! Put
down those guns instantly!'
Had the highwaymen been crimi
nails from some eastern cities 1t would
nave gone hard with Nellie. But deep
down in the heart of almost every
western desperate there is a reverence
for women. The men in the roadway
would have shot down the driver or
guard or Dick Folsom without the
least hesitation and never felt remorse
for the murder Either one of them
would have gone to the gallows before
ne injured the beautiful, angry little
figure who issued such peremptory
commands.
Excuse us, lady" said the one who
seemed to be the leader in tones of the
deepest embarrassment. Excuse us
Truly we didn't mean to frighten you.
1t was just little joke of ours, we not
suspecting that you would be on the
coach. Excuse us, excuse Why don't
you say something. Bill, you BANKED
fool?' he growled in a hoarse aside
to his partner.
But Bill didn't have anything to say.
He only hemmed and hawed and blush
ed so that 1t was discernible beyond
Tho confines of his mask
"Just little joke-a little joke" con-
tinued the first would be thief in what
he meant for soothing tones. Drive
on, Tom" he added, speaking to the
driver, 'but be careful not to make any
false moves until you get round the
next turn"
"You certainly saved the pay gold
tones of the utmost admiration after
the coach rounded the next turn.
And she certainly saved that young
fellow, too" added the driver, indicat
ing Dick. You'd been plugged in less
than a second for not putting up your
hands if the lady hadn't spoken up sc
quick"
Now that the danger was over Nellie
began to tNemble and turn pale. But
Dick turned to her, speaking in tones
so low that the driver and guard on the
! front seat could not overhear him:
"Now that you have saved my life
dear don't you think you can make II
worth living|'
| And for once the light in Nellie's eyes
was not that of mischief.
