except to draw rein.
''Is this the Crescent bend we're

Jake muttered that 1t was. When
we reached point near the center of
the bend, coming to tree growing on
the very verge of the precipice, the lit

used from the first directed Jake to
come to n full stop, to tie the relns to

While the little man covered the
driver he ordered one Of the passengers
to fix the rope to an overhanging
branch, and, tying the other end to
Jake's belt, he drove him at the point
of the gun over the abyss. There he
swung with 1000 feet of atmosphere
between him and the creek below.

man.

"Yes"
"Well, We'll let the horses breathe

Jake was kept dangling a full half
hour, during which he pleaded that his
belt was giving way, then was taken
In and drove the rest of the way with
the utmost caution.

The stage driver between Golden

into the creek fifty feet below. The
road turns sharp around, and 1t slants
of q little SOS the coach is sure to
swing to the edge unless you go slow.
Here We are"
There was the turn, sure enough, but
instead of slowing up the driver crack
ed his whip about his horses ears and
went around at good speed. We on
the back seat gripped at what we
could and held our breaths. The little
man folded his arms and bore the or
deal without fiinching. After making
the descent on the other side OF the bend
Jake looked back at US and winked,
as much as to say, "I'll scare him yet"
We would have protested against any
more such attempts, but feared that If
we showed fear the driver would be
melted to still greater recklessness.
We therefore held our peace
The driver persisted In taking the
outer wheels of the coach within u foot
of the edge at every abyss and would
look back at us, winking at the little
man, who, however terrified he might
have been, managed to keep from show
Ing his terror. Once when one of us--a
wOman-squealed at lurch on the
very verge of hundred feet of sheer
precipice he looked back inquiringly.
The woman asked Jake to be more
careful, but Jake assured her that he
was driving his best and was not re-
sponsible for the condition OF the road.
He did not mend his ways, and when
driving rapidly over a place where one
wheel was several feet above the other
he nearly upset the coach we all Joined
In Il request that he would cease his
pranks.
1t may be that Jake had little liq-

scare the little man and the effect Of
his "close shaves" ON us irritated him.
He grew sulky and kept on driving
without respect to our comfort or safe
