Resides, there are robberies In which any one of the traiu force Is lia ble to get a bullet through him. Fit narrowly escaped death when my train was robbed back in the nine ties and ou lav next trip was mightily disgruntled when ou askiug a seedy looking man for Ills ticket he offered me a dirty old |uistel>oard that hadn’t lieeu good for a year. I told him It wouldn’t do and asked him to pay his fare. At first he said be hadn't any money, but prescutly felt iu hi* pock ets and drew »nit some loose change, just enough to take him to a way sta tion about half the distance he wanted to go.... Of course I was obliged to car ry him as far as he could pay, but I expected to li*ive trouble with him sooner or later, and I did. As we u aired the station to which he had paid his way I said to him: “I waut to know if you’re goiug to pay for the rest of your ride. If you're not, I want you to get off here. I won’t put you ofT In a wilderness. 1 prefer to do so at a statiou." “The ticket I showed you Is good,” lie said, ‘‘and you’ve no right to re fuse it. I’m going to stay aboard this train." We were slowing up for the statiou, and as soon as we stop|>ed 1 tackled him. He didn't resist till I got him ou to the car platform, where half a dozen countrymen at the station could see us, but then be put up a strong tight, lie held on to the rail with oue baud uud pummeled me with the other. It oc curred to me that he was aiming to excite the sympathy of the incu look ing ou and if I didn't want their iu- terfereuce I'd better do my work pretty quick. 1 made two or three terrific jerks uud ¿rot him down on to the lower step of the car, and then he got a new grip, and I had a hard tussle to get him any farther. When 1 finally fiung him ou to the station platform my uniform coat was torn to shreds, my cap was knocked down over my eyes and my nose was bleeding. By this time the onlookers began to take notice of what was going on. They were most of them a had look ing lot. Indeed, it was suspected that the town hail harbored the men who had robbed my train. It was plain that they sympathized with the man who wouldn't pay his fare and were about to make a combined rush fox me when I pulled the ro]ie and the train started ou. I looked back to m » c my passenger angrily pointing to me as if exciting them to avenge him. On my return trip, preferring not to have any more scrambles, as we pass ed the statiou where I had bad the trouble I kept dark, for I fully expect ed that my deadbeat would be there with supports to give me a thrashing. I was disappointed, however, for there was no one at the station except the agent and a passenger or two to board the train. I questioned them about my n..tu, and they said the townspeople had liefriended him, that he was still there an.l showed no signs of leaving. Iu a few days I was surprised to get a note from the sii]»erlntendent ex- p-i-.-ing regret at the trouble I had had and Inclosing a check as compen sation. 1 hud made no report of the matter aud was a t a loss to know who had told him of it. When several of the men who had robbed my train were arrested some five or six weeks later my episode with the deadhead had pretty much passed out of my mind, though by no means out of my remembrance. It turned out that, as suspected, the robbers had l»cen harbored In the town where I lmd put him off and that several of them lived there. These were tlie ones -ar rested. They woke up oue fine morn ing, having slept the night in fancied security, to lie taken In custody by a police force sent out bv special train that arrived at dawn. Tlielr arrest led to the arrest of others, ami a great deal of the plunder they laid taken was re covered. Oue day I was in the general offices o f tlie company attending to some busi ness connected with my duties when the door of the general manager's pri vate office opened and a man came out whose face was familiar to me. lie was well dressed and presented alto gether an appearance of prosperity. Seeing me, he walked up to me with outstretched hand and a peculiar smile on'Ids face. *‘I can't place yon,’’ I said, looking at lrim Inquiringly. “Han't you? Yon ought to remember me. Yon put me our train one day for not paying my fare.’’ Gradually it came (o me that he was the seedy deadhead. My Impressions q £ him ns he. was In. Ills good clothes A slowly faded into wftaf Iu* was when I put him off. Then he gave me an ex planation. “I am a detective of the cmupuuy. I wanted an csruse to go Into (lie town which 1 suspected had harbored lite robbers of your train. The l*ofd way I could think of and one well calculated to secure the sympathy and confidence of the towmqa'ople was to get put off the truln there for not paying my fare I stayed with them three weeks and organised a gang lo rob another train. Tlist'a how I got on to fie culprits.” RICHARD A ANDREWS.

Pickering In Harper's Magazine. A Bell Ridden Town. A well known tourist of the wo.'ld has stated as bis opinion Hint Lucerue is the most l*ell ridden town In Europe. He bad assuredly never l*eeu to Schwyz. To begin with. Hie countlesu cattle that pass through the streets In tin* small hours of the morning ou tlioir way to or from the upland pas tures wear bells as big as buckets. And there are church bells too. A flue peal they are. no doubt, but the noble art of bell ringing either never existed or lias lieeti lost here. The tiells nre rung by being smitten or banged to gether by two small l*oys, whose legs are plainly visible-an alluring mark for an air pm -through the open louvres of the church tower, the sounds ptadticcd being about os edify ing as the music of n donkey engine in full play. The jierformance l>eglns at 4:30 a. in. and continues until early sendee at 5. and if there la a funeral— which Is every other day or so—there will be another sustained burst of mel ody from to 7. During the remainder i f the day the ringing Is varied nail persistent, but It lacks the irrltntlng power of the, early morning exercises. Sooner <>r later public opinion will lie aroused. Those lioys will be dragged from their perch, figuratively If not literally, and pence and quiet will relpi Iu the eponymous capital of the con federacy.— black"ood's Magazine.
