started she let her temper run away
with her. She gave the bandit great
tongue lashing, and a part Of her re-
marks included us. He gave her fige
minutes. seeming to be amused and
yet resolved, ard when she paused for
breath he advanced to the coach,
thrust the barrels Of the gun through
the window and within a foot OF her
nose and said;
sHand lne over every dollar you hare
got about you Of You won't live ten
seconds.'
She went deadly white and handed
over. ana as near as could make out
she was in swoon for the next i've
minutes. The bandit got fine haul
and was well pleased. When he had
pockefed the plunder he said
II shall now bid you goodby, gentle
men. Let no one move for the next
five minutes. Then you may resume
your Journey"
He bowed and stepped aside into the
scrub, and we looked at each other In
foolish way. After three or four
minutes the driver told US to get In,
and 1t was then that the widow got ont.
She had recovered from her swoon, and
her face was fiery red instead Of death
" pale
Look here, you pack OF poitroons,
are you going To let that scoundrel
get away with all our money" she ex-
claimed, as she looked from one to the
other.
But what can we do?" asked one
DO? Do? why, you towards, you
can follow him up and capture himl"
None of us saw 1t that way and took
our places. The driver called to the
woman to get in, but she turned on him
with:
go on with your towards! I'm go-
ing to follow that robber to the ends Of
the earth but what get my money
backr'
With that she headed straight into
the scrub on the robbers trail, and aft
er waiting for her FIVE minutes and
vainly calling to her to return the stage
proceeded and reached Deadwood four
hours late.
When the story was told, the sheriff
took a posse and started for the scene.
but before he reached 1t they met the
widow walking along the road. she
explained that she had followed the
robber for a mile through the scrub
and then came upon BIN In camp. She
at once started IL to give him 4gowdy,"
and no doubt her other effort was dis
counted. She sat right down IN camp.
and said she wouldn't stir an inch until
she had her money back. He threaten
ed her, and che defed him. He got up

him. No matter what Scar Faces ex-
perience had been with women. he saw
that he had caught n Tartar in this
case, ana he did the sensible thing by
restoring her money and letting her go
