Mart Krebbs was a very homely man
Ho had red hair, was truckled, Bevera!
teeth were gone and his heard stood
out from hla face like brlytles. Krchbt
was Ofty-five years old and as iinni
mantle a crHuii us could be Imagined
lie had been a stnge driver oil his life.
and now that the railroad had elbowed
the stagecoach off the uinln line of
travel Mart was bundling the reins in
the Yellowstone park, driving parties
of visitors there. One day oiue young
ladies were occupying the next seat
buck of the driver, oue pretty miss of
eighteen sitting beside hlin. She was
trying to get Murts experiences of wild
western life out of him.
"Are there any romances among these
episodes of yours, Mr. KrebbsV" she
asked.
"I don't know what episodes Is," he
replied, "hut If by romances you mean
love there's one love story, but that's
the only one so far ns I knows."
"Do tell It." came from all the girls
at once'. Mart began by sundry Ins true
lions to his horses, eased the coach on
a down grade by putting his foot on
the brake, hemmed several times and
told bis story:
This park when I was a younker was
a part of the western wilderness, hut
they called it what they call It now.
find ouct in awhile there was a pnrty
vlsltfn' it. I'd been drlvln n coach be
tween Denver ond (ieorgetown. but
had gravitated over yere. The TJte In
diiins was yere In them days, and they
was friendly to the whites, but the
friendship of red ski us means uothin'
doln' between them as a tribe and
the whites. It don't take In small af
fairs, j
"Waal, one day I was slourhln'
around tookin' for a good place where
I there was water to stay awhile when
! I heered the crack of a rifle. I Wiis
In a holler, and 1 couldn't see nothln
and I didn't know which direction It
was coinln' from, but as there was a
roiid Just beyond the rise on my right
I kind o' thort there was some pin gofn
on fn that direction. I dim' up part
o' the way and ertiwled up the rest tin
I stuck this ugly mug o' mine I was
almost us ugly then as I am now over
the ridge.
"What f snw was this: A party ol
visitors was rldin' In a three Rcatcri

In the wngnu was hand in' out thcli
valuables. There wasn't one of em
armed, and they hadn't no business
drlvln' there without perfection. The
had been told there wasn't no danger
and mostly there wu'n't.
"I was only one man with one rifle,
though I had plenty of ammunition. I
didn't feel like luterferln' so long ns
the redskins acted Chrlstlan-llke and
didn't do noLhiu' more'u rob. Hut when
they'd got all the cash there was In
the party and found there wasn't
much of It after all one of em saw n
mighty purty young gnl, and I heard
hltu usk her to he his squaw. 1 kuow'd
Just enough of their lingo to under
stand what he meant, but none o them
in the wagon did. The red devil took
hold o' the gal and pulled her out o
the wagon. She was skcered pttrtv
ulgh to dentil, When they got her In
the road they wns fnkln' her off Into
the forest when I cnlc'lated It was time
to Interfere. I was laylu' on my stom
Ick with my rifle before ine, hnvtn n
perfect aim with a rest. I sent a brill
Into the skull of the red man that was
plnln for matrimony and dropped hlin.
"Ills two pals in about one second
hnd got their eyes on n bit o' smoke
sallin' off from where I wns and know'd
where the shot come from, but they
didn't know who had flred It or how
many there was of me. 1 didn't give
'cm time to make plans. 1 let fly an
other lump o' lend, though by this time
the two lire Indians wns mnkln' for

helped him away. I sent another hall
after 'em bo's to discourage 'em from
coinln' back. I waited awhile, reckon
In" they might, but hear In' nothln' o'
em I went down and Joined the party.
"The raskll I killed had most u' the
plunder on him, nnd thnt wns saved.
But the principal thing saved was the
gal. When she got It through her
head wh:it I'd done she jlst WHbhled
up to me nnd thro wed her arms about
my neck and collapsed."
"How Interesting!" ei claimed the
girl beside the narrator. "1 thought
wed get to the love part after awhile."
said another. "Do go onP cried A
third. "Let's have your proposair
chirped n little girl not quite fourteen
yearn old.
"They wa'n't no proposal." Kreblm
continued "!o you reckon a young
feller with rod hnfr and freckles would
Inive the gall to propose to a young
lady like that? I Jlst handed her over
to her mother, nnd her father, who'd
got his money bnck from the Indian

"Oh. that's been with ma ever since.
The gnl hadn't nothln to do with It
"And yon never married her?
"No. nor nnj one else."
