"There Is a Tide In the Affairs of Men" By OSCAR COX I sin not an educated man nnl lmvi no knowledge of literature, but I onco heard or read the foil jwing state ment: "There is a tICe in the affairs of men which, takeu at tlx? flood, lead on to fortune." This is my literary stock In trade. Since it applies especially 'to my case it is qulto sufficient for ine. Vxom my boyhood I was averse to liard work. Ily hard work I mean drudgery. I think that if I had liecn born the president of a manufacturing coinpnuy I might have managed it ad mirably. 1 question if even lack of .experience would have downed me. The reason I believe this Ls that when fate Anally boosted me into a rcpou HiUle iwsitlon I took to the duties as a duck doorf to water. My inclination, so far as I was aware of what I wanted, led me to adopt the profession of a tramp. I begun my career In this line at oluht een years of as and followed It for four years. There was something so attractive for me in it that even now 1 don't look back to it with the hor ror it merits. Its very discomforts were at times attractive. Iteal tramp ing I mean on foot did not Interest me. My favorite method of getting out .of a district I had worked dry Into one sulllciently far from It that I would not be recognized as an old of fender was banging on to tho under pnrt of a railway car. ' And it was hero that the tldo of my affairs took me up and carried me on to fortune. One day I was riding on the bottom of a car. I was located under the bag gage car, which wan next behind tho express cnr. Suddenly while passing through an open lleld the brakes were applied and the train came to n stop. I expected that It would proceed in a few moments, but it didn't, I heard a 8hot forward. This suggested to me that the train might have been held up. I put my head out where I could get a glimpse of what was going on. I couldn't see murli before or behind, but one thing I saw very plainly a masked man with an enormous revol ver in his hand hurrying past to the rear. A short distance ahead of me the express car was directly over it was a cattle guard. It occurred to mo that from it I could see without being seen. I made my way to It, dropped down and hid behind a fence beside it. From betTeen the boards I had a good view of what was going on. Tho engineer and fireman were climb ing down from tho locomotive cab, bo ing induced to do so at tho point of two pistols in tho hands of one man. Tie drove them back, where ho was Joined by another man. I could see no more train robbers and believed that tho rest of tho gang were going through the pat -ngerH for their valua bles.

Jumping down on the sldo of the train that put it between them and me. I made n dash for the locomotive, climbed Into the cab and turned on the steam. The men hail reached the tie and were lifting It on to their .shoul ders. They had barely succeeded in doing so when they snw n widening gap between the express cur mid the train, dropping their burden, they run for tho pnrt that moved.- Ono of thorn run so fust that he tripped and frli Tho other kept on and, catching the handrail on the rear platfotm of the express car, managed to swing him pelf on. It seemed reasonable to supios' linn he Would climb over the ear and shout me as he came. I had no weapon, m I prepared for defence with n chunk of coal. Hut I did not need It.

He held n cocked re volver In his hand and, seeing n robber on the rear platform, shot him before ho could defend himself. I hud saved S.'AOOO dollars from the robbers.
