"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. One man -ri hammering at the
rear door of the o-ess car. It was
evidently locked, . I he could not
open it Another u. climbed up be
side I'm. and the. .isulted as to
means of for 'In; tho du jr. Both scan
red the fjroui. . ' eslde Mie train for
fioma implement iv vblch to effect
Alielr purpose. Ouu o.' ti.em spied about
0j yarda from the car log.

Here came the tippo-tunlty of my
life. What other rvlibfrs there were

engine and expiess car were unmmnl

from the rear eud of the express ear.
Leaving my hiding place. I got under
the car, crawled to the rnr end, mount
ed the platform and released the brake
This I nccompli.Hiicd without the men
who were going for their battering ram
seeing me, for their backs were stll!
toward me.
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. The urn
did not appear. The ios oi the en

I kept on, but present !;. rounding a
curve I saw the express agent on the
platform of his cur. .1 slowed down,
unil became forward. Ho told me that
when the train moved he vcnliircd to
open the front door and then the rear
loor of his car. 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. Helng asked what tho com
pany could do for me, I said I would
like a Job that would keep mo moving.
They made me conductor of a 'gravel
