bin ae THE JOHNSTOWN STAGE. THE STORY OF A WOMAN'S COURAGE. City of Rocks was losing its sharp outlines in the radiating beat of a July afternoon. The un- broken, gray sage-brush plain surrounding it had already lost its one outline, the horizon, and now merged Itself in the distance of tts own dustiness. ‘The void between glaring plain and glaring sky as filled with hot silence. It was the silence solitude undisturbed by humanity; for the only human habitation tn the City of Rocks was the stage station, and that, in ts square, uncom- promising adaptation to {ts usea, seemed lonelier than the rough, Dut sometimes beautiful, and ulways fantastic, stone formation around It. Any ne could see why thts place was called City of Rocks Its name fitted, a8 most frontier names At, untit they are subjected to the personal vanity OF nice modesty of refined map-makers, But any one could not see why its unhewn, granite masses should rise so abruptly and unreasonably from the level, sage-brush desert. To an imagi- nativeor cultivated mind there was something eerie about these castie turrets and cathedral res, en afar in an uninhabited land; and to ch, an armed knight with lance in rest, charg- ing across the plain, would not have been out of place. Such a person, necessarily = passenger on tne Johnstown stage, with vague anticipations of a romance, Would Very likely question the stage- driver. ‘The reply, without doubt, would be that this was an outeropping of the same ledge in which they had struck high-grade ore over in the Biue Guich district. If the driver felt like talking the additional fact might be extracted that the Indians called It “The seven houses where the witches laugh.” ‘This would sound promfsing. but the questioner would find that thts was ail there | was of it.

The when it left City of Rocks, was twenty minutes Tate. Bnt the Jack-rabbits, which laid back thetr ears and scudded at its approach, found it no mean rival that afternoon, “fll bet ten dollars he makes tt up afore he gits to Stoney Creek, and not turn a hair!” said the Station-keeper t hunself. ‘Then, after a further contempla he added in & more reckless tone, “I'll bet ten dol: lars he makes it up afore he gits to Dick Day's Taneh, and not turn a hair!” As no one accepted eltber of these generous propositions, he shook his head and remarked confidentially, “There ain't many Kin copper the Weutenant, now, if you year me!” and, disappearing in the gioom'ot the inte- rior of thé house, City of Rocks was left once more to the hot Silence of its fantastic stones. ‘The sun was setting behind Bald Butte as the Johnstown stage approached the five-mile grade whieh led down wo Stoney Creek. ‘The alr Was growing cool. The rabbits, looking like sage- bushes in motion, fitted about in the twilight. A ony Of prairie Owls, posting themselves at inter- vals along the road, accompanied the intruding vehicle through their territory, the head of the line rising as the stage drew near and gravely fly- ing down to take station at the foot, until, the danger departed, they solemnly withdrew. Down the grade the stage went, with the driver on the brake and the horses trotting looyely in their har- ‘ess, until, WIth a Mnal joit and lurch, they fetched Up On the bank of Stoney Creek.’ The driver swung himself off the box, and taking au iron pall out Of the boot, proceeded to water his horses. ‘The elderly passenger emerged from the si! with a tm cup, and scooping up some of the bright, cold water from the nolsy mountain stream, gallantly took it wo the lady inside. ‘Then, helping bimseif, he said to the driver with a dat “Peage youve been making up time, Ye herded'em along pretty lively down that grade.” ‘The Heutenant nodded his head.

The station-keeper who,meanwhile, had stepped out into the road and silently commenced to unhook the traces,-lonked up for the first time.
