It was several years pre- ylous to the first Pacific railroad and while yet every pound of goods going to the far west had to be hauled across the great plains by freight wigon or gent around Cape Horn by sea. Two men in a Rogers & Blair outfit fell In love with the same girl in Santa Re. One was an American named Jack Hines, and tbe other was a full blooded Mexican who was simply known fis Don. The girl was a balf breed, and none of us outside the two rivals thought her worth fighting over. 1 do not think she really cared for either man, but her game was Co- quette and keep them on the ragged edge and make the most she could out | of it.

For a time | the rivalry was a subject for joking | among us, but when we saw that el ther man was ready to fly at the oth- er's throat on the smallest provocation the cage became serious. They were not only good men for the outfit, each earning the Highest wages paid, but they were gaine mex, and If they came | together nothing was surer than that | one would be itilled.

The cub ree porter, simply because there was noth. ing else to keep him from bothering every ore In the office, was given the name of this man and told to get some good stoitles out of him about experi ences on the racing circuits. The cub whistled while he looked up the nrme and address, and airily served notice that he would want a eouple of col- nmns if he caught that "guy" at heme.
