1t vas not until 1869 that he was
caught. The driver OF a stage that
ran in from the hills back OF Sacra-

OF the office early one morning in the
spring OF that year and breathlessly
told how he had been held up but a

the stage had been heavy with gold
dust sent in by miners. Never before
had California Bill' dared to attack
a coach so close to town.
In 20 minutes from the time the

his hunters were close upon him and

Ever since that important new arrival

Strangers. whether wrecked ond clinging
to raft, or duly escorted and accom-

urged itself In vain And a stranger was
necessary to Rosamond's social romance
which had always turned on lover and

Apparently this prejudice against finding
lovers in ones townsmen, ones neighbors

comfortable to ones own, and whom one
has cared for in a fine friendly way all
