“ Keep Your Seat, Horace, I’il Git
You Thar on Time.”
Written for the Timks-News.
7 111 the eaily days ol ..... Calitoima,be
fore the iron horse crossed the prari-
ries and climbed the mountains of
the .ar West, Mr. Horace Greeley,
at that time the greatest of living
editors, had an engagement to lec-

the celebrated Ilank Monk, the
greatest of living stage drivers, on
the box behind a team of six wild
and fiery Bronchos.
The older readers of the Times-
Xews will remember, that while
Mr _ Greeley was a great editor—a
big hearted man, of noble and gen-
eroUS impulses— he could, on OCCU-
si°n, “ out-cuss the army m Flan-
tiers.” High strung and nervous,
he could brook no delay.
Ilank Monk was a . . character, ? 5
a seemingly reckless man, absolute¬
ly fearless, with muscles of iron and
nerves ot c steel, ^ I but, withal, • , 1 a man
of quiet and reserved demeanor.
Ilis coach had been repeatedly at-
tacked by highwaymen, but Hank
usually managed to give them the
worst of it; and he was held in the
highest esteem by the proprietors
of the stage hne and the Welk-Far-
K° Express company, whose strong
box f s ’ containing hundreds of thou-
safety «£ KrTs^^wkh to their destina.ion, notwith-
standing the desperate onslaughts of
the banditti who infested tne
ii\. Li., to the s.Oi > .
In ascending the long, steep grade
“P ‘ he mountain side, the progress
of the coach was necessarily slow
and tedious, and Mr Greeley be-
can ‘® mieasy, leani'g lie "'.oulii tan
to reach Placerville m time to meet
his appointnlent . Ever and anon,
he would poke his hcttd out of t he
coach window, and insist that Mr.
yf onk should get him thdre on time,
and Hank’s invariable answer was :
“ K “P > our ri ! «i‘
you thar on time. Mr. Greeley s
importunities grew more numerous
and vehement as the oig coach
c y" Ied 5l °"'b, «P •'» mountain
side ; but Hank v, as
and his old, stereotyped answer
eep y our seat, lloiact, . \ gw
you thar on time," drawled in slow
and measured tones, nettled the
great editor to a degree almost
yond endurance.
cmaliy the top or the grade was
reached, and the road down grade
was >teep, crooked, strewn with
hu S e boulders, and for miles it ran
paging-with towering, snow-
capped moantam peaks overhang-
mg it on the one hand, and a
abyss tailing thousands ol feet

‘
precipice. With

: " i!a yen that echoed
and re-echoed down the mountain
side, the tough, wiry and mettle-
I some little Bronchos sprang down
the slope like a herd of wild moun-
tain goats with a hungry grizzly
! in hot pursuit.
The lumbering body of the coach,
I suspended in huge leather slings, in
lieu ol steel springs, to the running
gear, swayed from side to side as it
rattled down the steep. Faster,
i taster! Rolling, bouncing, bobbing
1 up and down ; Air. Greeley became
somewhat agitated, and Hank only
caught a glimpse of the great edi¬
tor’s old white hat,when he offered
a gentle but firm protest against go¬
ing so fast. “ Keep your seat, Hor¬
ace,” drawled Ilank, “ I’ll git you
thar on time!” But for Mr. Gree¬
ley to keep his seat in that coach,
bounded was an utter impossibility, for he
from side to side and from
door to ceiling like a huge rubber
ball.
Another crack of the whip! An-
i other wild Comanche yell and the
little ’
Bronchos fairly flew Anon
., f r0 nt wheel would 1 trike a boul-
- , t he , co.icli would spin along
cu . . , .uu
for two or three hundred yards on
three wheels. A voice under the
old white hat at the window where
its owner had managed to struggle
after many vain attempts, again at¬
tracted Hank’s attention and, tho’
he looked back instantly, he only
caught sight of the great editor’s feet
jammed through the window. A
sudden lurch of the coach had re¬
versed his position. As he scram¬
bled to an upright position, the tan¬
talizing words of'Hank Monk smote
his ears : “ Keep your seat, Horace,
I'll git you thar on time!”
At this point, in turning a sharp
curve, the wheels encountered an-
Other boulder and the coach was
whizzing at a fearful rate down the
niounta i n side on only two wheels
within four or five inches of the
edge of the precipice! Now plung-
ijlg into a deep rut directly across

ear, he roared: “ Great Scott, Mr.
