been making a fool of himself It a
meaner than the men nest Job In the
world. 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

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
