Casey Ryan is a stagecoach driver known for fighting, gambling and drinking, but also for being the fastest one there is. Once he trades his coach for a Ford, things take a turn for the worse and Casey finds himself without car, money and job. In order to get back on his feet, Casey decides to start the search for the legendary Injun Jim's gold mine.

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - From Denver to Spokane, from El Paso to Fort Benton, men talk of Casey Ryan and smile when they speak his name. Old men with the flat tone of coming senility in their voices will suck at their pipes and cackle reminiscently while they tell you of Casey's tumul-tuous youth - when he drove the six fastest horses in Colorado on the stage out from Cripple Creek, and whooped past would-be holdups with a grin of derision on his face and bullets whining after him and passengers praying disjointed prayers and clinging white-knuckled to the seats. They say that once a flat, lanky man climbed bareheaded out at the stage station below the mountain and met Casey coming springily off the box with whip and six reins in his hand. The lanky man was still pale from his ride, and he spluttered when he spoke:

Book excerpt: Casey Ryan knew his desert. Also, from long and not so happy experience, he knew Fords, orthought he did. He made the mistake, however, of buying a nearly new one and asking it toaccomplish the work of a twin six from the moment he got behind the wheel.He was fortunate in buying a demonstrator's car with a hundred miles or so to its credit. Hearrived in Barstow before the proprietor of a supply store had gone to bed-for which he wasgrateful to the Ford. He loaded up there with such necessities for desert prospecting as he had notwaited to buy in Los Angeles, turned short off the main highway where traffic officers might besummoned by telephone to lie in wait for him, and took the steeper and less used trail north. He wasstill mad and talking bitterly to himself in an undertone while he drove-telling the new Ford whathe thought of city rules and city ways, and driving it as no Ford was ever meant by its maker to bedriven.The country north of Barstow is not to be taken casually in the middle of a dark night, even byCasey Ryan and a Ford. The roads, once you are well away from help, are all pretty much alike, andall bad. And although the white, diamond-shaped signs of a beneficent automobile club are postedhere and there, where wrong turnings are most likely to prove disastrous to travelers, Casey Ryanwas in the mood to lick any man who pointed out a sign to him. He did see one or two in spite ofhimself and gave a grunt of contempt. So, where he should have turned to the east (his intentionbeing to reach Nevada by way of Silver Lake) he continued traveling north and didn't know it.Driving across the desert on a dark night is confusing to the most observant wayfarer. On eitherside, beyond the light of the car, illusory forest stands for mile upon mile. Up hill or down or acrossthe level it is the same-a narrow, winding trail through dimly seen woods. The most familiar roadgrows strange; the miles are longer; you drive through mystery and silence and the world around youis a formless void.Dawn and a gorgeous sunrise painted out the woods and revealed barren hilltops which Caseydid not know. Because he did not know them, he guessed shrewdly that he was on his way to thewilderness of mountains and sand which lies west of Death Valley. Small chance he had of hearingthe shop whistles blow in Las Vegas at noon, as he had expected.

Book excerpt: Casey Ryan, hunched behind the wheel of a large, dark blue touring car with a kinked front fender and the glass gone from the left headlight, slid out from the halted traffic, shied sharply away from a hysterically clanging street car, crossed the path of a huge red truck coming in from his right, missed it with two inches to spare and was halfway down the block before the traffic officer overtook him. The traffic officer was Irish too, and bigger than Casey, and madder. For all that, Casey offered to lick the livin' tar outa him before accepting a pale, expensive ticket which he crumbled and put into his pocket without looking at it. "What I know about these here fancy city rules ain't sufficient to give a horn-toad a headache-but it's a darn sight more'n I care," Casey declaimed hotly. "I never was asked what I thought of them tin signs you stick up on the end of a telegraft pole, to tell folks when to go an' when to quit goin'. Mebby it's all right fer these here city drivers-"

Mebby it's all right fer these here city drivers-""This'll mean thirty days for you," spluttered the officer. "I ought to call the patrol right now-""Get the undertaker on the line first!" Casey advised him ominously.Traffic was piling up behind them, and horns were honking a blatant chorus that extended two blocks up the street. The traffic officer glanced into the troubled gray eyes of the Little Woman beside Casey and took his foot off the running board."Better go put up your bail and then forfeit it," he advised in a milder tone. "The judge will probably remember you; I do, and my memory ain't the best in the world. Twice you've been hooked for speeding through traffic; and parking by fire-plugs and in front of the No Park signs and after four, seems to be your big outdoor sport. Forfeit your bail, old boy-or it's thirty days for you, sure."Casey Ryan made bitter retort, but the traffic cop had gone to untangle two furious Fords from a horse-drawn mail wagon, so he did not hear. Which was good luck for Casey."Why do you persist in making trouble for yourself?" the Little Woman beside him exclaimed. "It can't be so hard to obey the rules; other drivers do. I know that I have driven this car all over town without any trouble whatever."Casey hogged the next safety-zone line to the deep disgust of a young movie star in a cream-and-silver racer, and pulled in to the curb just where he could not be passed."All right, ma'am. You can drive, then." He slid out of the driver's seat to the pavement, his face a deeper shade of red than usual."For pity's sake, Casey! Don't be silly," his wife cried sharply, a bit of panic in her voice."You was in a hurry to git home," Casey pointed out to her with that mildness of manner which is not mild. "I was hurryin', wasn't I?""You aren't hurrying now-you're delaying the traffic again. Do be reasonable! You know it costs money to argue with the police.""Police be damned! I'm tryin' to please a woman, an' I'm up agin a hard proposition. You can ask anybody if I'm the unreasonable one. You hustled me out of the show soon as the huggin' commenced. You wouldn't even let me stay to see the first of Mutt and Jeff. You said you was in a hurry. I leaves the show without seein' the best part, gits the car an' drills through the traffic tryin' to git yuh home quick. Now you're kickin' because I did hurry.""Hey! Whadda yuh mean, blockin' the traffic?" a domineering voice behind him bellowed. "This ain't any reception hall, and it ain't no free auto park neither."Another traffic officer with another pencil and another pad of tickets such as drivers dread to see began to write down the number of Casey's car. This man did not argue. He finished his work briskly, presented another notice which advised Casey Ryan to report immediately to police headquarters, waved Casey peremptorily to proceed, and returned to his little square platform to the chorus of blatting automobile horns.
