He had married the prettiest litle mulatto in the country. Their borne was a Jaunty yellow cottage that sat In the midst of the cornfields. Amos and Collie were smiles from the heart oat. .... Whatever he had was ours. Col lie was proud of her dishes and her cooking. Amos sat on the porch while she fried chicken and waited on us. We had come In This one had either thrown the key of the safe away or he had never had it. The booaie was In a regular Wells Fargo steel chest. The Ud closed ' over the - top. I took a stick of dynamite, put it In the crack just under the lock. The explosion sprung the aides and smashed the lock. There was $25,000 Inside and not a note In jured. We each drew $5,000 from that evening's pleasure.' All la Poiat of View, Says Woman. , horse-body sort of a woman once. Her eyes lit up with amazement and the keenest delight. That look gave me a large gob of joy. She wasn't so different than I. although she had never taken a rent In her life. "You looked as It you wouldn't mind running your hand. Into a chest like that." I said. "It's all la the point of view, at that." she answered. Another time, a skilled music ian, a respected citizen, the father of three children, took me aside. On the level, did you get a rake-off like thaw" ne wanted to know. "Well, what would It be worth to teach me the game?" I thought. he was Jesting until he bad come three different times with the same proposition. I didn't teach him.. It Is a game that alwaya ends In a loss. The money goes. Happiness goes. Life goes.

No, sah; no. ah: 'lowed I ain't forgot my manners." Amos', manners probably saved our lives, "Yo boys done been up to mis chief?""

Not a moment too soon, for seven men galloped over the brow of the hill and drew rein at the porch The innocence of Amos would have made an angel blush. He had seen no one. No. sah. no gemmen stopped at his door. Not one of them would dare to ride down to the cornfield in search of quarry.. They cursed and brow beat him. Amos stood firm. . "What do you make of it?" Frank's impulsive, open face was blajicnel with anrer. lie was like a cornered beast, ready to strike at anything. Posse Run Trail For Several Days "What do you make, of It?" he demandeJ again. "Well. I'll tell you. They're made the Santa Fe believe you robbed them. The Santa Fe is behind this." . It was probably a wild suppo sition. It seemed credible to us. Houston was attorney for the rail road. From the time we left the r.egro'8 cottage nntll we arrived at the Harliss ranch a few days later the posses were oa our trail. It didn't worry me much. There was a tang of adventure in it that sppealed. To Frank it waa hell's torment. He didn't like being hunted. He seemed to feel there was all the shame of cowardice to the attempt to escape. It lashed aim into a seething . rage that made him want to turn and strike back at hia pursuers. They had been . to the ranch house in our absence. They had left their mark In a few bullet holes in the walls. "What are you going to d6?" Frank asked. 1 was neither angry nor unhappy. Just then, out lawry as a .business suited me. "Finish up the deal Jake and I were planning when you came,"' I said. "I'm with yon." -.V - i' . .v Single Handed la tfata Fe Holdup, And from that moment until the night of the holdup he was like a man possessed. He had the resolution of an army behind him. Almost single handed he pulled off the e::ckup of the Santa. Fe. Ke had worked one vacation on the railroad. He knew all about engines, he said, because, he had ridden the goat around the yards. He Insisted on bringing up the train. -1 . . r ...... . The SUnt Fe rtoppod at ller wyn ta the Chlckasha. Frank and Bill were to get on the blind bag ge as th drew out, climb over the coal tender and get the engi neer and fireman. They were to bring the train about three-quarters Of a mil Into th tlmhar where Jake. Little Dick and 1 were waiting. We would fnish the transaction.

Few men are ever killed in a holdup. Vet erans consider it strictly bad form. Whenever I read of a con ductor or messenger fatally shot I know that a new hand Is In the game.- It's easy .to buffalo the crew. The passengers are a cinch to handle. They know the hold up has the drop on them. Ntfbody wants to take the chance of start ing things. If they ever did break loose at the same moment there'd be a stampede that would, turn things the other way. I never saw one. Frank took care of the engineer and the fireman.
