Miss Baker 5 Choice.


lQFlkiHHlNl
1t was In the summer OF 1850, as
near as can remember, that / was
engaged by a man named Dobson to
50 with him from Julesburc to Denver
with b couple Of wagons loaded with
groceries. Julcsburg was at the time
the terminus Of the Union Pacific rail-
road, and there was no railroad be-
tween Juleshurg and Denver. Dobson
qnd were to take the teams through
alone, he driving one, the other. Just
as we were starting young woman
came to Dobson and asked If he would
take her along. She was about twenty
three years old and comedy. Dobson
granted her request willingly.
Women in those days in Colorado.
especially respectable women, were at
a premium. One saw only the rougher
visages OF men, and when the more
delicate features Of q woman appeared
the contrast was far greater than In
the east, where the sexes are more
nearly divided. IT was plain to me
from the first that Dobson was bent OH
monopolizing the girl. who called her
self Betsy Baker. and 1t was equally
plain that Miss Baker did not object to
being monopolized. We were several
days making the journey, and as we
camped at night the two had plenty OF
opportunity to enjoy each others COM
pany During the day Miss Baker
would sit by Dobson as he drove, and
In the evening after we had fed our
selves ana the stock they would sit by
the campfire (for the nights were chilly
and do lot Of billing and cooling.
AS for me, / couldn't quite make the
girl out. She didn't make 1t plain why
she was there-dldn't say what she
was going to Denver for or what she
was going to do when she got there. I
didn't doubt that she was perfectly re-
spectacle, but could see that she was
concealing something. For this reason
I felt perfectly satisfied that Dobson
should monopolize her. I'didn't wish to
get entangled with her myself
The second night out, after Miss
Baker was asleep in ono OF the Yag-
ons. a man rode into our camp. He
was d short, thick set fellow with a
stubbIe beard. not very progressing.
but looked as lfhe wouldn't be good
man for an enemy to tackle. He and
Dobson talked together for awhile, the
man telling Dobson that he wag taking
good deal Of risk in driving wagons
on the plains with but one man to
help him. didn't quite make out
whether 1t was Indians or rond agents
that were to be feared, though Indians
were not numerous on the plains as
late as 1867 At any rate, Dobson en-
gagged the man to so on with us. Even
a party Of three was not numerous IN
case. Of attack, but three were one
more than two.

rather late getting out of her sleeping
place In the wagon, and when she did
and came to where we were eating
breakfast saw the stranger look at
her In an odd way.

pleased to see him and made no reply

singuiarly enough, he didn't say an
other word to her, nor did she speak to
him during our breakfast of bacon and
corn bread, washed down with cup OF
coffee boiled over our campfire When
breakfast was finished and we were
ready to move on, the stranger took
the lead, while Miss Baker got up, as
usual, on the seat with Dobson. Once
or twice the stranger turned and rode
back to say something to Dobson,
while the girl he claimed to be engag-
ed to was sitting beside Dobson In an
evidently friendly manner. Her fiance
didn't seem TO object TO her doing SO
and after d few words OF inquiry or
information rode on ahead again
When we came within a dozen miles
OF Denver, he came back, and / heard
him tell Dobson that he was going TO

ing our destination and go up through
Golden City to the stamp mills above
on Clear creek.
All this time the fellow paid no at
tention to Miss Baker, aud Miss Baker
didn't favor him with a word. Neither
did she discourage Dobson's attentions
on account Of the Others presence.
What passed between her and Dobson
on the subject of the stranger never
knew. II occurred to me that the an
nouncement that the latter was going
to break away from the party must be
very welcome to the girl. II be had
been a fine looking, attractive fellow,

ture-it was impossible.

the first time that Miss Baker looked
nervous. The stranger didn't notice
her amy more than he had noticed her
before and the moment the meal was
finished mounted and rode on.
Presently we came to a fork In the
road, one fork leading up to the can
yon, the other straight on to Denver, a
few miles uhead, though In the clear
1 atmosphere it looked only few hun
dred yards. The stranger stopped at
the fork and waited for us to come up.
Dobson when he reached him drew
rein.

yere roads forks right yere. Y can
take this one with me or t'other for
Denver. But whichever v takes
there's no go back"
The girl sat still for q few minutes,
