WITCHTO'S LAST RIDE....
A STORY F THE WEST.
AS the railroad terminated at Gil
soy in the early seventies, a stage was
dispatched from that place once a
week to carry the mail to 3-iri Miguel,
a distance of one hundred and thirty
aille. Four small postofJU-es were sta
tioned along this line for the accom
modation of the scattered stock ran
cher who lived In the fertile valleys
watered
by the Pajaro, San Aiitone
and Naalmer.to rivers.
On of, the early settlers i win can
kim Mr. Smith was engaged in sheep
arming among the hills of southern
Monterey county. He and his small
family, consisting of a wife and two
sturdy daughters, were entirely isolat
ed from civilized society. They had
bo Bear neighbors except the Indians,
who watched the strangers with a
kindly Interest, their hatred not yet
rnaM4 by tha fear of losing their
kunting grounds.
"Let paleface be," they said,' "plen
ty for all." And so the squaws ground
their maize and acorns In peace, and
the braves hunted the antelope with
none but friendly feeling for the white
intruder. In fact, the youngest child
so won the heart of the old chief that
hardly a day passed but he had her
with him .at his camp.
Here she soon learned to ride the
pontes almost as well as did the
rave themselves. The chief was so
proud of her achievements under his
supervision that he presented her with
a fine pinto colt, just broken, together
with a handsome Mexican bridle and
addle.
Witcho, for such was the pony's
name, was very docile, and soon learn
ed to love his little mistress, and was
never happier than when she was
seated on his back. He was always
seady for a gallop over the hills, or a
wee with any Mexican vauuero who
sight be passing through the valley.
Because the child was bo splendidly
quipped, and was such a good horse
woman ,lt became her duty and de
Hght to carry the mail between her
home and the little postofflee ntne
Biles away. She had been making
these weekly trips for a y ar or more
when, one Saturday afternoon, her
lather eaUed her to him and said;
"Madge, I expect the stage to bring
the money to pay the sheep shearers
this evening. The package will be
very heavy, and it may be dark before
jon can get home. Do you think you
an bring It safely? I would go my
self,' but cannot leave the corral, and
there la no one else I dare trust."
"I am sure I can bring it all right,
papa," answered Madge, delighted to
lave a chance to carry such a val
uable package.
"Very well, then? Run along and
get ready, dear, but be sure not to say
a word about the money to anyone."
Am Mr. Smith walked back to his
wool tying he saw one of the Mexi
cans sharpening, his shears on the
grindstone ' just outside the kitchen
window, but it never occurred to him
hat he might have overheard the con- leave the path and try to make any

horse, several of the bystanders gath

straight limbs and glossy coat, and

strength and his staying powers.
"My, but this is a stiff gale," said
Ae postmaster, w ho stood at the door
of the office with his hands in his
sockets. "I say, Tom," he went on,
"you'd better put the little gal's horse
lb the shed, out of the wind. The
tace won't be along till 7 o'clock or
after."
Ho . Madge dismounted and they led
ker horse- away. She soon became In

holdups whk-h were being told by an

A frw minutes later they heard the

meanted aim the driver was handing

"That's a fine horse she's got." he
continued. "I don't think there's any

see the two horses come to a race
seme time. I would lay a pretty good
' wager on the pinto, but I might miss
it, as I've heard some wonderful tales
about the black.
" "Twould be nip and tuck between
them. I guess. Well, so long. I'm sor
ry to leave you. but It s getting late,
and I've got a good many miles to
cover before I can put up for. the
night."
A few minutes later the stage and
its driver disappeared la the gather
ing dusk.
Madge had galloped across the flat
meadowland and was now walking
along the trail which wound through
the brush-covered hills. It was rap-
Idly growing dark, and the wind whls
tied mournfully through the tall pines.
Madge, though not a timid child, could
not bt;t wish the road more open, no
that she could ride faster,
To keep herself from thinking of the
stories she "had heard an hour or two
before, so began talking to her pony,
but soon relapsed Into silence, because
her voice seemed so small and strange
In the vast solitude. Once she almost
dropped her reins in fright as a largo
owi new from the branches of a tree
under which she was passing. She
had barely recovered from this alarm
and had urged Witcho Into a gentle
gallop before a coyote slunk across the
trail just ahead of them and so star
tied the pony that Madge, good rider
as she was, had to clutch the stirrup
leathers to save her balance. As she
regained her seat and let the leathers
flap back into nositon, she thought
she saw a small object gleam In the
saddle skirt. Knowing It could not
be a silver ornament in such a hidden
place, she examined the spot and soon
drew out of a well concealed pouch
what seemed to be a small dagger.
"Whose can It be?" she said to her
self, turning it over and over In the
J dim light. Then the thought came to
her that it might belong to the former
owner of the saddle. "Well, anyway,"
she added, half aloud, "I'm glad I
found It, for It will make a good hunt
ing knife for papa."
Just then Witcho gave a little neigh
and, glancing up, she saw a dark ob
Jost disappearing behind a big rock
that stood close by the path about
one hundred yards ahead. It looked
like a horse and rider, but she could
not be sure. Instantly all the tales
of the holdups she had heard flooded
her memory, but, although terribly
fri;rhtend. she pushed on, knowing
it would be useless to turn back or to
She had almost paired the rock w hen
suddenly a man sprang out from Its
shadows and seized the bridle re'.its.
With a loud snort Witcho reared and
plunged foward. striking the man full
i in the chest with such force that he
was thrown violently to the ground,
reeling himself fre?. Witcho Jumped
over the prostrate body and tore along
the path toward home.
-With an oath the robber scrambled
to his feet and shook his f!?t after the
fleeing pair.
"On, Witcho, on!" It is our only
hope, for he'll be after us in a min
uter' exclaimed lladge, leaning for
ward and striking the pony's neck
w ith her opf-n palm. The horse, seem
ing to feel the danger of his little mis
ticss.increased his speed, and soon the
pair had cleared the timber and were
tearing along the smoother road. It
was much lighter here, and Madge,
giuni'ini; gvw ner snouiaer, saw to ner
great dismay that the man, naw
mounted upon a black horse, was
rapidly gaining upon her.
"It must be Juan Machardo," she
thought, for she knew no other .'horse
could catch Witcho but his black colt.
She was even more frightened at this
discovery, for, knowing the man's pas
sionate nature, she was well aware
she could expect no mercy at his
hands. Again she encou rased Wltrho
but, although he did hla best, the
black still gained. The man was un
coiling hla rlata. She wondered wheth
er he would try to catch her or her
horse's feet. His horse was coming
nearer and nearer, rapidly narrowing
tha space between them under the
maddening prick of the cruel spurs.
To escape being caught. If each a
thing were possible, Madge lay early
flat on the horse's nark. Tha laaao
came, whlxxlng through tha air. Thank
Ood, It fell short. The Mexican had
mlesed In the dim light. Some aae
ondt moat elaase before he wovJd be
ready to throw again.
. "Oli. Witcho. can't you go faster?"
cried Madce la desperation.

the jerk of the riata would break hfa
neck. ... .... .,,.
, "(Jive up the money, or I'll rhok
the pinto," called Juan, knowing th
girl thought more of the pony thai
Pshe did of her if. "
Witcho, thoroughly frightened, wat
snorting and plunging so violently
that Juan could not slack the rope,
nor did he dare get off his horse, for
it had not yet been trained to hold a
creature alone.
Madge was in despair. She knew
Witcho must soon go down. His nos
trils were dilated and his breathing
painful to hear. What should she do?
It was no use crying for help, for she
was five miles from any house. Some
thing must be done, an i done quickly.
She could not, would u.;!. give up the
money. Then It flashed into her mind
the knife. That was the very tiling.
She seized it and drew its keen edg-3
across the taut riata with all the
strength of her little arm. The riata
snapped, and Witcho, with all the ag-
lleness of his race, wheeled, and was
off like a shot.
The recoiling lariat struck Juan
stinging blow in the face.' Vexed at
!o!ig h! prise, ! mrtlng with
pain, he sank the spurs deep .uto the
heaving flanks of his horse, and, curs
ing and swearing, rained blow after
blow on Its sensitive skin.
"I must catch them. I will have
my revenge," he muttered between his
clinched teeth. "I'll kill them both.
The devils shall not escape me a third
time."
With this thought he arose in his
stirrups, took his revolver from hts
pocket and tired. Still the pinto kr-pt
up his wild pace. He mut get still
nearer. He spurred and lashed more
furiously than before. Five minutes
and he was at Witt-no's heels. Once
more Juan took aim and fired. He saw
the horse In front give one leap into
the air, stagger for a moment, and
then dash on and on. At every jump
he widened the distance between them.
In vain Juan plied his whip. In vain
he halloaed and swore. His horse's
gait was becoming uneven and slower;
blood was streaming from its nose.
Seeing that theer was now no hope of
overtaking Madye before she reached
safety, he wheeled his horse and made
for the hills.
On and on sped Witcho, faster anl
faster. He seemed to gather strength
as he neared the pasture gates. No
need of encouragement from Madge
now. For a mile they kept up the
mad gait. Then the foaming animal
slackened his pace. But the girl still
feared the pursuer, although he was
not in sight, and urged him to fresh
efforts.
Witcho, dear Witcho; we must get
home," she said.
The beautiful beast, seeming to un
derstand her fear, made one more
mighty effort, although his labored
breathing told how plainly how sorely
It was distressing him.
But home was not far off. All were
at the gate, just organizing a search
ing party, as Madge raced up. The
faithful horse stopped, and she fell
faintirg into her father's arms, mur
muring: "The money safe."
All was hubbub and commotion.
Mrs. Smith wrung her hands, declar
ing her darling was dead, and beg
ging the men to go and find the mur
derer. The men uiiered vioieni threat
of vengeance on the one who had
dared to molf-st their little lady.
Madge soon opened her eyes and
looked for her horse. He staggered,
then fell to his knees. With a wild
iiream she sprang to his side, moan
ing. "Wteho, tny darling Witcho." The
horse raised hts head, struglcd as 1j
to rise, then Ml back dead.
Madge burled her face In his-loni,
mane, matted and tangled with sweat
and dust, and burst into passionate
weeping.
"See! He has been shot." said Bill
the shepherd, "iiolt at the bullet hoto
In his side, and the blood pouring
out."
"Who has done thH?" the others
tried. "Let us just get our hands on
him!"
Then they started toward the corral
for their horses.
"Boys." cullfd Mr. Smith. "Walt.
Madge has fainted again. So wait un
til she is able to tell what happened
before you go."
They earried Madge Into the house
and laid her tenderly on the bed. an-j
while her father ind mother were
watching and caring for her stout men
dug a grave for the horse who hod
so nobly given his life for his mis
tress. When she was able, to tell all
that happened, several of the men
started for Juan, but they were not
able to find any trace f him after he
entered the hills.
Mr. Smith never forgave himself for
letting his little daughter go alone on
that terrible night hut thanked Ood
from the bottom of his heart for her
wonderful preservation through the
endurance and speed of her Indian
pony.
Many year have passed since then
