- Ever since the Boardman family had arrived, Jack Benton would fairly shout for joy whenever he had a letter for the family, for this meant a few stolen words with the settler's daughter, Polly. With her brother, Steve, Jack had already made a favorable impression. However, this availed him but little, for old man Boardman wished his daughter to marry a wealthy neighbor, whom he knew as Caleb Simpson, but who, when disguised, was known throughout the State as "Black Bill, the Outlaw." Quite unwittingly, the highwayman had advanced the young people's romance, by attempting to hold up the Pony Express. A desperate fight had ensued in which Jack had won, but before "Black Bill" had ridden out of sight, the young man sank, exhausted, to the ground. Quickly wheeling his horse, the outlaw started back, when a shot rang out from, he knew not where, but believing that a rescuing party was near at hand, he once more turned his horse and dashed over the hill. The shot had been fired by Polly, who from an adjoining peak, had seen the end of the fight. Hurrying to Jack, she found him so slightly wounded, that after she had promised to become his wife, the young man was able to continue his journey. A few weeks later, "Black Bill" called at the Boardman home, to pay Polly his unwelcome addresses, where he was received with great favor by the elder Boardman, and although snubbed by his son and daughter, the outlaw learned, while there, that Steve would on the morrow, carry quite a sum of money to J.B. Rogers & Co., and that acted as a balm to his wounded feelings. The next day, carefully disguised, "Black Bill" watched his victim approach, with particular relish, little imagining that from a bend in the road, he too was being watched by Jack Benton, for the Pony Express was earlier than usual. Dismounting and securing his horse, the young man crawled stealthily forward, until he was within a few feet of the outlaw, so that Jack's command for the highwayman to throw up his hands, just as he sprang upon Steve, was wholly unexpected, and as a consequence, he was soon securely tied and disarmed. Their intense surprise at his identity, when they snatched off the disguise, was as nothing, compared to the settler's. A desperado, a highwayman, an outlaw, and he had tried to force his daughter to marry this man! As the sheriff led his prisoner away, old man Boardman humble handed his daughter over to Jack, only too grateful that his eyes had been opened in time.
- "Pony" O'Brien, or Number 3 of the relay between two desert-bound western cities, draws his horse before his sweetheart's house and lingers somewhat longer with his packet of mail as he tells her the good news of a raise in salary which means they will soon be ready to marry. The girl is delighted and her father, coming on the scene, congratulates them and gives them his blessing. "Pony" is hardly on his way again when Jim Allison, a puncher employed by Holmes, the girl's father, approaches Mary and hesitatingly asks her to marry him. At the girl's refusal and her confession that she is already engaged, Allison turns angrily on his heel, fully resolved to leave the ranch. He looks up the old man and tells him his intentions. Holmes coolly hands him his pay and asks for no explanation. Allison, he believes, is not trustworthy, and his going is good riddance. Some time later Allison is stopped by two highwaymen, ordered to dismount and is dragged off by them through a winding, rocky defile which ends abruptly in a small cavern. Entering the cavern, Allison makes out in the uncertain light the vague figures of a half dozen men who spring to their feet and draw their revolvers. The appearance of the other two, however, puts them at ease, and their attitude of defense gives way to curiosity. Allison soon learns that the leader of the gang is "Red" Patterson, a bandit, whose name is the terror of every household in the vicinity. Batterson asks him to choose between death and loyalty to the gang, and Allison chooses the latter. The next day the bandit puts him to test by ordering him to "get" "Pony" O'Brien, the express rider. Allison mounts his horse and rides away, fixing his destination at the post station where he knows "Pony" will make his start on the long ride through the mountains. "Pony" is soon seen to mount his horse, while Allison watches and sets out cautiously on his trail. At a lonely place in the mountains he overtakes the rider, orders him from his horse and viciously knocks him senseless with the butt of his pistol. A second later, with the express rider's bag, he mounts his horse and tears down the trail to the rendezvous of the bandits. Batterson is pleased with the success of his new recruit, but is doubly surprised when this latter, opening the flap of the mail bag, sees something which causes him to suddenly change his purpose. Quick as a flash he draws his revolver and with the surprised crowd covered he backs out of the den, leaps on his horse and rides away. He finds the rider still unconscious by the side of the road, and hurrying off through the bushes brings back his hat full of water, which soon revives him. "Pony" mechanically feels for his gun, but the other man waves it back. "I want that picture of Mary," he says, indicating the photo of Mary, pasted inside the rider's bag flap. Then he goes on to explain his love for the girl, his rejection by her and his short career as a bandit He don't want to go bad; he wants the picture of Mary to keep him straight. "Pony" gives him the picture, stretches out his hand, and then the two part.
