' . . famed Wyominir stream. It is Plan-
-- - Tied to make hia return merely a
continued clmpter of his past. Once
luore he .wilt try to lu'at the sun
set gun into Tort Laramie and the
old plains outpost, Port Itridjrer.
These jruns have been silent for de
cades. Although he will have to
Miild no more willow roads along
the brief delta of the Cm son river,
he will hit the old trails of the Piute
lands beyond tho Carson, and the
Cherokee and Sioux lands farther to
the eat and the north.
He will traverse .the same old al
kali wastes where his predecessors
threw, up a hasty fort against the
encroaching redmen in tho Sink of
Carson. He will cross Sand Springs
where unoilur fort was raised. Pui-
1her;on he will- e-e where, the Cold

greatest of all .the riders, made bis
memorable dmh throuuh Sioux and
Cherokee infested binds as be wised
upon the bleachimt Imdies of ninety
Chinamen ithnt bud fallen victim ti)
the apear and the tomahawk.
However, lie will not stv tbe vider
of the relay abend murdered by the
aide of the trail, nor will lie have
to hunt for tbe still, stark bodv of
tlio ruler behind, as lie had to do
many times in the past, lie will
: exchange irreetinjrs with his fellow
rider K"i:K west, but there will be
many more to itreet him now. Tbe
automobile and the railroad cross the
Id trail at many points.
The l'ony Kxp'reas of the old days
was intended to .take off where tiie
telegraph line ended at St. Joseph,
nd link the l'ar West, as far as
wns within its power to do so, with
the busy wire. It continued for a
number of years until Kdward
CreiirMon stretched bis tclcKinPh
. wire to Salt Lake City from St.
Joseph in 18K1, iherebv winning
government bonus of '$40,000, and
.ne uiornm leirg-raph eompany
continued the line to Sim Krnn
ciseo. Thereafter the l'ony K.xpress, "its
cenpation Rone," bccaine another of
the romantic wraiths of the Far
West.

weijth more than twvnty pounds,
therefore every fetter had to be
written on tissue paper. The thin

But the record shows it hey earned J

Although the history of the Pony
Kxpisss wus telativeiy brief, it wus
marked by some stunning tragedies.
There is the story of the Pyramid
Lake immsacre of Nevada, when Col-
,ontl Ornihsy, famed old trail break
er, ami seveiiiy-iive oi nis scours
weie cut down by a band of sulking
Piutcs. , ,
There are other stories to the ef
;fect ifhntt frightened Argonauts,
trundling in covered wagons, across
the plains, mistook tho fleet rider
for a Sioux or a Piunc scout on many
occasions and shot him from his sad
dle. ,'J'he turning of a stone hotel
in course of construction in Virginia
City'' irrto a fort while the Piutcs
stormed it, and the saving of many
women and children thereby, pre
vented what could easily have been
a greater tragedy thaiW -Glister's Jnst

i.l n
There is also the fl'.ory of Jack
Slade, keeper of the Pony Kxpress
station at b'ort Kearney, who turn

man named Jules, be decided that
Jules had -one1 too- many eara.. He

Tinish tbe job. They left .enough

Whitehall boat. ,
Slade drifted up through Hie
Hlackfoot country, swinging his long
barrelled revolvers as be went, and
finally met his fate ut the end of
a vigilante rope somewhere in the
neighborhood of the -Pitter Roots.
The story closes not only with the
lengthening of the teleginpb, but al
so tbe campaign against the l'lutes
by Solonel Han Hungerford, who
drove what was left of the fighting
