any ou* * ble. Joel threw the
again.
His deliberations or me nigm uau
ended fn a draw between working bis
way back to Oblo and suicide. Under
the freshening influence of morning he
turned from both of these and decided
to put in his pick once more. So he
laid about him, gathering bits of earth
and quartz, which he tied up in his
handkerchief and set out for a camp
in the valley below.
There he found an assayer whom he
persuaded to make a test of his collec
tions without the hope of early re
muneration. What was Joel's surprise
to find that his lump of quartz was
nearly pure gold and likely worth from
$3,000 to $4,000. The earth and chips
of quartz did not assay satisfactorily
except to indicate that gold in paying
quantities might lie near the point
from whence they were taken.
Joel resolved to go down to Denver,
raise some money on his nugget and
make arrangements for prosecuting his
find further. That night he slept on
the floor of a deserted miner's cabin.
In the morning his nugget was gone.
Joe! was disheartened. Doubtless
some one had come into the cabin dur
ing the night and relieved him of his
fliid. The assayer bad advanced him
his stage Tare to Denver, and he con
cluded to go there and make a final
decision as: to what he would do.
One of the principal parts of Colo
rado society in those days was the
road agent lie infested the stage
routes and looked about for any
booty, from a gold ring to the treas
ure bos of an express company. Trav
elers knew that they were liable to
be relieved of their belongings and
resorted to all sorts of devices to hide
them. .Toel found In the coach on the
way to Denver two women and three
j merl. The women expressed fears of
i bclug robbed, for the coach bad been
stopped by tbe agents at least one day
In tbo week for a month. One of the
j women expressed wonder why the
I authorities did not do something to
I clear the roads of the robbers. At this
| a quiet looking little man In a corner
seat said that to eradicate tliern would
be Impossible, lie hoped that ho would
reach Denver In safety, and if ho did
he would never ride In a coach again.
Suddenly the coach stopped. The
little man trembled from head to foot
When it was learned that the pause
was to enable tbo driver to tlx somo
part of tbe harness the other passen
gers Jeered the little man for his timid
ity, whereupon he wrapped himself
up In his greatcoat and settled back
in his corner. The men passengers
blustered a good deal about what they
would do if attacked, and the women
were very sneering In their remarks
about tbe coward.
The coach had passed down from an
eminence and was about to climb an
other when a shot was heard. The
coach again came to a stop, nnd this
time It was evident that something
serious had happened. In n twinkling
the door was thrown open and n roan
with an enormous revolver pointed Into
the coach appeared at the opening.
The women screamed, two of the
men turned pale—and. as for the little
coward, ho crouched In his corner
wrapped In his overcoat, which also
covered his face. The only uncon
cerned person in the coach was Joel
Slmouson, who, not having anything
valuable to lose, was not at all wor
ried.
[ "Come out of there:' saw tne man at
the door in a tone that Indicated he
would be obeyed. The two women
alighted flrst, handed out by the rob
ber. who was quite deferential to them.
Then came two of the men, followed
by Joel. The coward still crouched in
his corner, with his face covered. Tho
robber had not the stamina to kill such
an insignificant person. Instead be
mounted the steps of the conch and
j reached across it to the other side,
where the man was. and, seizing him,
was dragging him nut when there was
a crack, and the robber full on the floor
of the coach.
The coward made one leap, in which
he reached the ground, and there were
two more shots in quick succession,
each bringing down a robber. When
the passengers recovered from their
surprise they saw fhe coward standing
with a smoking "bulldog" revolver in
each han."?, quite cool, but his eyes
darting about him in search of nny
other man who needed his attention.
Seeing no more robbers, he turned
quickly to one of the men he had shot,
who was raising himself. Another
shot finished him, and this exciting
scene that had occupied about thirty
seconds was over.
While it had been enacted the two
robbers who were not engaged in get
ting the passengers out of the conch,
greedy for booty, had relieved the two
women and one of the men of their
belongings. As soon as the tragedy
was over tho little coward said:
"My friends. I was sent out on this
trip to lay for Jlui Dngan, who has
been robbing the coaches single hand
ed and alone. 1 thought I'd meet him
alone and didn't expect that he would1
have any one with him. If his two
pals hadn't been In such a hurry to get
the stulT and had been tending to busi
ness instead of going through the pas
sengers that hud been taken out of the
coach 1 would have been a goner, for
one of them, if not both, would have
dropped inc."
lie then proceeded to relieve the
fallen men. who were both dead, of
what they had taken. One of the ar
ticles was a lump of quartz which made
Joel Slmon.'on oi>eii his eyes. lie rec
ognized the identical nugget of which
he had been robbed the night before.
"See here, you little stick of dyna
mite." he said to the man who had
killed the road agents, "that thing there
is mine."
"What makes you think so?" said the
other.
"If you examine it you'll find my In
itials, M. S..' cut on it."
The little man turned the nugget till
he brought the letters before his eyes,
then turned them over the passengers
with a scrutinizing glance. It did not
take him long to spot one of the men
passengers.
"Who ;ire you 7" no nsnea
The man made no reply.
"If I mistake not I've seen you once
before."
With I hat the littlle man clapped n
pair of bracelets on the fellow, who
made no resistance.
When all had been attended to the
coach was driven on. and on Its ar
rival In Denver the stolen property was
returned to its owners on proof of own
ership. Joel receiving his nugget Tlio
coward from the time of his quick
change was a hero and received a
large reward for the service he had
done the express company, having put
an end to a series of robberies that had
cost it many thousands of dollars.
Joel SSmonson sold his nugget for
enough cash to send for his betrothed
dud to furnish capital to develop the
ground from which he had taken It.
Great effort was brought to bear on
him to learn where be ha4 found It.
but he kept his secret till he had en
tered n claim for the property; then he
began excavations which resulted In
the discovery of a mine that made him
rich.
Meanwhile Mabel Ilarwood joined
him in Denver, and as soon ns he bad
built a cabin near his mine they went
there to sojourn while he was making
developments.
Joel Kimonsnn became a wealthy Col
oradoau. lie was sent Grst to the na
tional house nf representatives and
next to the «cu:ite. He lived to a good
old age and left children who have
l<een an honor to him.

C088 WANTS TO

Is His Ambition.
PREMIER FOR EIGHT YEARS.
Detroit's Great Outfielder 8«y» if He
Can Accompliah Thie He I* Willing
to Quit the Diamond—I* the Only
Batsman to Equal Wagner** Mark.
Ty Cobb dropped into a Detroit news
paper office the other night and picked
up "A History of Baseball" and ran
through the batting records that form
the high lights of diamond history. He
was especially Interested In Hans Wag
ner's eight years at the top of the Na
tional league, a record which Cobb tied
In 1914.
"There isnt anything 1 wouiun igive
to lend the league Just two years more,"
said Tyrus. "I don't know whether I
can do it or not, but to be the best bat
ter In a major league for ten years
would be enough to satisfy any man.
It sure would suit me.
"If there Is anything more for which
I would give almost anything tt would
be to beat Lajoie's batting average of
.422 in 1001. I got .420 in 1011. and
there were two games In which 1 didn't
play that I might have. ! don't know
that they would have boosted my aver
age, but 1 can't help thinking that I
pnssed up a big chance. I certainly was
a fortunate batter that year."
While glancing over the records
Cobb's eye fell on a passage that In
troduced the story of his perform
ances. and he read it over several
times. It ran as follows:
"Cobb is the only batsman of the
time with the possibility of passing
Wagner's world record (Wagner bat
ted over .300 eighteen consecutive
years). lie la a wonderful batsman
In point of ability, but has not the
physique to warrant hope that be will
be able to stand the strain of major
league playing as well as the four
giants—Wagner, Anson. Brouthera and
Lajoie—who now lead him In the point
of continuous service."
"I wonder if that is true," mused
Cobb. "I know that folks expect me
to break down under the strain of the
game, and maybe I will. Bnt I really
think that my manner of training In
the winter is conserving my strength.
I know this much: I have been play
ing ball eleven yeara now, and of re
cent years It has been easier for me to
get Into condition and keep In shape
than it was when I was younger. 1
seem to be really getting In better
condition each year.
"Ono can't tell how Jong that will
be true, ihoogh. Maybe they are right,
and I will crack some day. One thing
Is certain, anyway. I am not going to
slacken the pace I have set aa long as
I have strength to keep It op, nnless
I should voluntarily retire, as I hope
to do after a few years."
