When the Brake
Broke
BY, FRED OHLE
Copyright, 1905, by E. w. Sargent

Inc fiyaway coach stood at the
curb In its glory of red and black. The
louf blacks that took the first stage
\ were caanping their bits and throwing
necks OF foam on the admiring group
Oh lulers. while Spencer Graul in smart
coaching rig stood on the hotel steps.
Graul attracted almost as much at
tention as the well set up coach, for
mere was something curious in the
idea OF a millionaire driving a coach
N which all might ride who had he
$40 for a ticket.
Gfaul II Tom Montgomery had set
up the coach to awaken interest in
rour-in-hands. The Eun was to a river
resort thirty miles up where lunch was
covered by the price Of the ticket, and
pack to town again.
d Inc papers had taken up the idea,
and the runs Of the Flyaway were
cooked far ahead. Graul had glanced
IDLY over the booking list and had
found thereon only one well known
name. The others were all people
whom he did not know, and he won
oered whether he would ask Millicent
Kent to occupy the box seat with him.
She and her mother were the only
passengers he knew, and Graul thought
ne should give her the seat Of honor.
though he knew that she was deathly
AFRAID of horses and was making the
rip only because it was considered the
proper thing to do.
He was still arguing when a little
figure In gray darted past him and &C
costed II Of the grooms standing at
the horses heads. The groom pointed
to Graul, and that gentleman knew
that. she had asked for the driver,
The girl came toward him, and Graul
noted a%pprovingly that she was more
than ordinarily pretty.
Please" she asked, with a trace of
western accent, II want to ride on
the box with you. May II Do say
yes"
There was a witchery in the eager
eyes. and as she danced back into the

unbsactously, "but these are nice, DO
lite roads and trained horses"
Here's a nasty bit" he said, point
ing with his whip.
Just beyond lay a sharp descent,
which crossed the railroad tracks at
the foot Of the hill. The road was
rough with the erosion of the spring
thaws, and Graul came to a full stop
as he reached the brow.
Hank Whittlesby would have taken
1t full tilt" she leased, as she noted
the %precaution. Graul laughed. as the
horses moved slowly forward.
He threw on, the brake with care as
the wheels began to grind In the
gravel. He hated this bit Of road
when he had passengers on board. He
always felt that If anything happened
1t would be right here.
And his fears were verified, for
scarcely had they gone ten feet when.
with a report like that of a gun, the
brake rod broke and the terrified
horses sprang into their collars.
This prevented him from turning
them into the side Of the road and
stopping them. He would have to do
the best he could now.
The girl gave a startled cry, and for
an instant he wondered why she should
scream, when a gray clad arm extend
ed across his vision, now glued upon the
road ahead.
The railroad tracks crossed the road
Just at the foot Of the hill, and a fast
freight had just come into sight around
q curve. Graul knew that if he did not
ross the track before the train reached
the crossing he would smash into 1t
and probably kill every n on board.
Instead Of trying to check the horses
he gave them their heads and used the
whip, urging them to greater speed.
The light coach bounced and tossed
over the heavy ruts, while the terrified
passengers on the rear seats chung to
the arms and added to the confusion
with their screams Only Daisy, her
feet braced against the dashboard, was
quiet.
With a bang they struck the foot of
the hill. There was a sharp rattle as
they crossed the tracks, and Daisy
swung around in her seat.
BEAT 'em by a car lengthi" she call
ed jubilantly. Hank couldn't have
done better than that himself"

hotel Graul was glad that Miss Kent
was not to ride with him. He followed
the girLinto the hotel and looked over
the booking list again.
"Who Is that girl in gray?" he asked
the clerk. That functionary smiled.
DAISY Redmond" he answered. "Her
fathers the big mining man. She
booked a seat all alone because he
hangs out down In the street. Told
me she wanted to see if these eastern
dudes could hold q candle to western
drivers"
Graul nodded and went outside. It
was time to be starting, and he mo
toned to the guard with the ladder.
Miss Redmond flashed past him.
"Readyp she cried, and a moment
later. to the intense amusement Of the
crowd, she had climbed over the wheels
and was perched upon the box.
Through the crowded streets the pace
was necessarily slow, and the girl turn
cd to Graul. "Do you let them out
when you hit the h%ighroad?" she de-
manded eagerly. Graul laughed.
II fancy you will get speed enough
when we get going. This is just
through downtown"
Il should hope So" she retorted. II
booked for a coach, not a hearse."
II suppose you will write back to the
papers that the eastern dudes are un-
dertakers," he laughed. She flashed a
Quick glance at him.
you've been talking to the clerk"
she announced. II am curious to see
the difference"
what do you think so farr' he
asked.
II think" she answered, "that IL you
ever hit the streets Of an Arizona
town with that yellow coat on you'd
be sorry"
"still," he defended, I'VE can drive
on here"
Maybe" she said ambiguously.
After they reached the open country
II was apparent from her glances that
she was changing her opinion, and
Graul wondered If the drivers she
knew Of could cut figure Fights in the
horse show ring such as had gained
him a blue ribbon three years in sue
cession.
Think q tan coat Is necessarily a
hindrance to a driver?" he laughed, as
they turned a narrow curve.
"You can drive some." she admitted.

A. the East Indian See. II.

A native Of India who lost q large
amount of money through the in
solyency of an English merchant ex-
planned the English insolvency laws as
follows: "In Burma the white man
who wants to become insolvent goes
Into business and gets lots Of goods
and does not pay for them. He then
gets all the money he can together
say, 10000 rupees Ia rupee is 80 cents)
and puts allsof it except 100 rupees
away where no one can find 1t. With
the 100 rupees he goes to a Judge of
the court and tells him he wants to be-
come bankrupt. The Judge then calls
all the lawyers together, likewise all
the men to whom the white man owes
money, and says, This man is insolv-
ent, but he wishes to give you all that
he has got, SO he has asked me to d.
vide this 100 rupees among you ALL
The judge thereupon gives the lawyers
80 rupees and the remaining 10 rupees
to the other men. Then the %insolvent
goes home to England"
The Aberdeen Democrat. (Aberdeen, South Dakota) 1???-1909, 1905-08-11

"Then you are ready to admit that
we eastern dudes can driver" He smil-
ed at her as the horses slowed to a
walk in the heavy sand.
"Admit itr' she echoed. You're a
wonder, and any time you want to
come out west I'll recommend you to
the stage company"
Il Think said Graul, that when 1
get out west 1t will not be in search Of
a job, but in quest Of some one to sit on
the box seat with me-"
Daisy looked at him keenly. He was
not flirting, she felt with a thrill. He
meant 1t.
IF you drive oil around as straight
as you do on the box" she said sober
", "Ill give you a recommendation for
that"
The fact that they are to be married
next month argues that he is an all
around good driver.

At last their appetite was somewhat

PAhruunp "A Desert Oasis.

Seventy miles south Of Beatty the
traveller on the stage hne halts at the
old Pahrump ranch to take "a drink Of
native wine while the horses are water.
81. Acres OF shade trees, poplars,
willows, cottoGwoOds, walnut umbrella,
locust aud fruit trees cool the air.
From numerous springs great volumes
OF pure water bubble forth and irrgatc
1000 acres. The name PAhrump is the
Indian word meaning water mouth or
great spring. The flow is 800 inches o:
water, with a temperature OF ~ de
grees. The elevation is 200 feet above
the sea.
Away back III 1879 a man and wife
named Bennett settled at these springs
and planted some trees, and later sold
to a colony which proposed to make it
a Garden OF Eden. TO some extent
they succeeded, but practically failed
because Of internal strife. The Calivada
