CHAPTER I.

1t was one of those rare days-a
light breeze mingled with sunshine to
put plenty of enthusiasm in one-when
Madge Morris and Ena Ferris alighted
from the daily passenger train at a
little station in Colorado.
isn't it grand" said Madge; ait
makes me feel just as though 1 want
to shout for JOY"
"Why don't you," said Ena; "there
doesn't appear to be anybody about to
prevent it,"
The two girls noted the stage that
was to take them twenty-five miles
across the country to Tampa. They
saw to it that their baggage was
placed safely aboard the rough looking
vehicle and they were anxious for the
stage to be on its way.
where's the driver?" Madge asked
of the station agent.
"Who. Highland Shorty?" responded
the railroad official. "He's in the hos
pital at Denver having a couple of bull
lets removed from his anatomy. He
didn't stick his hands up quick enough

to suit fellow so he got pumped full
Of lead. Young Charles Rodgers is
taking his place on the high seat.
Here he comes now"
Madge and Ena looked at each
other slightly startled, but said moth
ing. AS the girls turned in the direc-
ton the station agent indicated they
saw boyish looking figure jump from
the street onto the station platform.
He looked still in his teens, and whis-
tied merrily as he loaded the stage and
threw the mail on the drivers seat.
''How soon does the stage go?"
Madge asked the driver.
''In about five minutes"
AS Madge and Ena climbed into the
dilapidated vehicle a large, fat woman
with arms filled with packages opened
the door and said, SIS this the stage
for TampaY'
Upon being informed that it was,
she tossed her bundles onto the seat
and climbed in.
Charles Rodgers was anything but
an experienced stage driver, and he
looked it. He had come from Omaha
to Colorado to breathe the pure noun
tain air and "build up his constitu-
tion," as he put it. He accepted the
first position offered which was clerk
ing in a store, then when Highland
Shorty got shot, young Rodgers ap-
piled for the position as stage driver
and got it. He felt little concern
about highwaymen because he was as
sured that the pay roll for the mines
would never be sent by stage again
since the highwaymen had made such
a success of it when they rode away
with the last shipment and left High
land Shorty badly wounded, so it gave
him a feeling of Importance to sit on
the high seat and crack his whip over
the four horses as they trotted along.
When the three women were inside,
the youthful driver mounted his seat
and cried, "Gid-apT The creaky old
vehicle gave a great lunge that threw
Ena out of her seat and into the fat
woman's lap.
That's all right; you didn't hurt me
none," said the woman of weight as
Ena Strengthened her hat and apollo
gized. Madge had caught herself and
was laughing merrily at the mix-up.
''These measly drivers are all alike"
said the fat woman, addressing no one
in particular. They're a careless,
good-for-nothing lot and don't think of
anybody but themselves. Just listen
to that fellow whistle; little he cares
whose neck he breaks by his careless
driving"
"But everything is all right now,"
Madge said, "and it's such grand
morning l can't blame him for whis-
Ting. feel that way myself"
