"In truth, I don't know. My health that is, the health of my soul, for you would not ask me about anything else in a ballroom depends upon the health of yours. What I mean is that I could only be happy if you are happy. May I ask if that wound of the heart which you told me about when I met you in the stagecoach has healed?"

"He will swing her like he used to drive the old stagecoach on the down grade," remarked Jim, "and that will be going some." Already they were gathering speed, as he sent "The General Denver" along the level of the valley. In a short time the train came to a steep descent through a narrow canyon, and Jim was in for a new experience.

The contest was planned by the stagecoach proprietors of Baltimore, with the view of demonstrating that nothing could be gained by the substitution of steam for horse power on the railroad.
