While in k small towu in Wyoming Territory I learned tlmt r lady living there" had been the heroine of a thrilling adventure with train robbers, and curiosity and love for the bravo induced me to call on her to tell tne the story, says a writer in the Hartford Times. When 1 went to her house I welcomed by a handsome lady of about thirty, and in response to ray earnest request for this one chapter of her life jrhe related the following: In 187.1. when but a isirl of eijrhtean, I left my home in Omaha and came out here to fill the loncaoine position of a night operator at a small station on the Pacific railway, in this Territory. It was a dreary, desolate spot in the midst of a desert. The only buildings at the station, apart from the depot, were a section house, occupied by a track foreman and a few Chinese laborers, a water tank and a coal shod. The day operator and agent, a mere boy. lejt at the section "houee. about two hundred yards distant, so that during the long, dreary night I was alone in the depot. "No. 4 express train, bound Eatst. wae due at 2:15 in the mornittg. but it never stopped unless signaled, and as this was the only train during the latter portion of the night you oan imagine my lonely situation upon the desert wild. I had my books and guitar for oomtMinions and noseed much of the time rending, and when the dole ful howlings of the wolves were borne to mv ears from the distant sand hills I would iick up my guitar and en deavor to drown their cries with music and song. "The superintendent of the division. a buoyant, high-spirited young gentle man, came over the road at froquont intervals and cheered mo up with prombe of a better position when a vacancy should oceur. He often found me on the very brink of despair, almost on the point of resigning my position and returning to my humble home and the mother who depended on ray salary for the neosaries of life; but his promises, his genial con versation and words of encouragement drove away the gloom, and I came to look for his visits with a sense of the keenest pleasure. I began to regard him with a. sisterly affection, he was m kind and tender, and so solicitous for my welfare and comfort One night shortly after midnight. as I sat at my table reading a lato novel. 1 thought I heard a ehufllhig footstep on the depot platform; but as it was not repeated I concluded it was but a wolf more darin? than his cow ardly fellows, and I resumed my book. A few moments later I heard a low knocking at the door, which I always kept locked, and a strange feeling came over me. During my several weeks stay at the station J had never had a visitor, and the sudden knock. so low, yet so startling!)- clear in the stillness of the night, caused my form to tremble and my cheek to blanch. My first thought was of Indians, and then I reasoned that it might be some tramps desiring shelter. While I sat there in affright the knock was repeated louder than before, and mus tering all ray courage I approached the door ami aked: Who1 there? ' Arruff voice replied: A traveler who desires to take the Eat-bound train.' "It was my plain and unmistakable duty to admit him, ami, with trembling fingers, I drew the bolt "Instantly the door was pushed rio leatlv open, and I sprang back to the taMe and sank. Into my chair in terror, Vfcaa sere bwrly men, wearing cloth waiks ea their faces and armed to the teeth, entered the office. One of them, evidently the leader, walked up tome, and, pointing a large revolver to y head, said in a lew, firm voice: "'Gal, we don't want to hurt yon, but if you make a -iwpUifus move, or raat. ar .rive aav alarm. e taat

o' that pretty faee

with h bullet. He and behave your quiet and sensible. self, and yer ehan t be hurt. What's yer red signal lamp?' What would you do?' I gaiped. " -None o' your busine. We don't want to hear any uaaeoeesary back talk, nor no imertineat questions. Whar's the red lamp?' "A thrill of horror swept over me when the truth burst upon me that I was in the hands of a band of desperate train robbers, vhose evident intention it was to signal the train and rob the express car at my station, What could I do? It was yet three hours until the train was due, but I could not elude my captors to rouse the section men, and I knew by the ugly gleam in the leader's eyes, through the hole in his mask, that if I made the least outcry lie would not hesitate to carry out his threat and murder me. I knew they could find the lamp easily by searching for it, and in a trembling voice I told him it was hanging just inside the door of the freight room. One of the men got it, and, after examining it to see that it was in order, the rough band took seats to uwatt the incoming or tne train. The lender lit his pipe, and looking at me for a few minutes steadily, said: Young gal. when that ar train toots her whistle we've got some work for vou. An oftielal . duty, in you might call it. You must go otttthar on the platform and signal the train to stop and take on some ttrst-class passengers. An' lookoe here, if you make a suspicious move or don't swing the red lamp in the proper way we'll just ventilate that graceful body with bullets an' jump on our horses and git. Do you understand? ' " A desperate resolve had been tak ing place in my bewildered bruin. I replied that I fully understood him, and with a piteous cry, "Oh, you will make a murderer of me!" I threw my arms and my head down upon the table and besran to cry and sob as if my heart were breaking. Had he seen mv face ho might have noticed a total absence of tears. I was crying for a purtoe. "W hen my arms dropped upon the table I allowed kmy hands to fall upon the armature of the telegraph instru ment. so that I could prevent it from ticking, whilo my right hand rested upon the key. Sobbing, so that any slisrht clicking the key might make would not reach the robbers, I ojH:ned it and slowly made the telegraphic characters: II E L P These I repeated several times, hoping they might roach the car of some operator on the line. I then slowlv and distinctly wrote these words, still sobbing violently: ' Who hears this for Heav en's sake report to train dis patcher at Laramie quick that I -am lit the hands of seven robbers who wi 1 1 com tiel me to flag No. 4 Send help quick.' Then I signed name and ofTico call. " I released the armature and the instrument clicked out: " ' lirace up little girl I hear you-H.' 4 Ir was the train dispatcher s call. With a fierce shout the loader sprang forward and rudely snatched me away from the table, and asked: Gal, what's that?' "Only a distant office asking for orders for a freight train,' I re sponded. " 2one of yer lyin you little imp,7 he roared. Yer up to some trick.' " 'No,' I replied. 'I am not. If 1 were doing that ray fingers M ould be on the instrument Don't you see I am not touching it, and yet it works. It is only an order for a freight train aw.nv down at Medicine Dow.' "Keep away from that table,' he said, savagely. 'An' if I ketch you at any tricks I'll choke the life out of you. 4,Oh, how eagerly my oars drank in every worn tne instrument cuckou out I heard a telegram to the sher iff of Green Hiver, twenty miles west, asking him to arm a posse of men at once and get on board a special train which would be ready for him. Then another to the young superintendent, who was at Green luver, tolling him how my slowly written words had been heard by the dispatcher, and ask ing him to supervise the preparations to fly to my relief. Then a third dis patch to the master mechanic instructing him to tiro up his fastest passen ger engine and couple on to a carriage and await the superintendent s orders. My heart boat so violently that It almost took my breath away. It feemcd an age ore I heard the Green River oporator call the dispatcher and say: 'The superintendent, with sheriff and twenty armed men are aboard, and train ready for orders.' "The order came Hying. It told the engineer he had a clear track and to run at his very highest speed to within a half mile of my station, and with Ills party to alight. Then came the welcome report from the Green Hiver office: " 'Speeisl east departed 1:15. ' "Oh, how my poor heart beat, and how my every nerve tingled with excitement, 1:151 mentally figured that the train on such a desperate errand should make nearly a mile a minute, and reach the stopping point at 1:86. "The robber chief gave his men their instructions. I was to be sent alone to signal the train, and when it halted the band would make a rush and board tat train. i ;

'Bill, you jump on the angina M mm aa she stops and hold the engineer ami fireman undsr your gun. Jack, you pile into the mail car aa' make the clerk glvu up his registered letters, an' Yank an' Aleck' 11 work ths expresa ear, while Tom an' Shorty hold the conductor and hrakeman baek. Do your work quick an' bold, an' don't be afeard to burn powder if necessary. Thar' a big haul on that train, an' we've got to have it' "How eagerly I watched the clock, iiiid how slowly, how very, very slowly the hands seeined to move liSl, 1:25

and 1:30 were ticked oil; 1:36! Would they never come? The mn sat on the bench along the west side of the room, facing along ! the two windows on the east. 1 tried 1 to figure how long it would requlro for the men to walk to the depot from the stopping place. Perhaps event then they wore surrounding the sta-! tion, and I might heur n knock at the door any instant Would there b a i fight? Oh, horrible thought! In :t few moments I might see men shot down before my face, and I might myself bu killed. 1 almost fainted with fright. The blood seemed to freeze in my veins, and I grasped the chair or I would have fallen to the floor 1 ;40J There came a fearful crash of glass, and the black muxxlos of a perfect cloud o( rill os wero. thrust through the windows and pointed directly at the robbers. Then a voico cried out: Men, throw up your hands! T tun the sheriff, and in the name of the law demand vour surrender. Make but a tuovo. and I'll order my men to lire!' "Yer little cut!" hissed the leader, glaring at me savagely, a& the band , suddenly hold aloft their hands. Then the sheriff and three men entered and disarmed and handcuffed the robbers, and I saw the superintendent looking at me and hoard him say: 'What a debt 1 owe you, my bravo girl,' and then I fell fainting into his arms. When I regained consciousness I was lying in my room at Green Hiver. with several ladies around me, and was told that seven days had elapsed since the captnro of the robbers. 1 was suffering from brain fevor, brought on by the terrible strain I had passed through, and had been ( unconsciou? for that long period. For many days thereafter 1 hovered on the border between life and death, and the superintendent wa at my bedside several times every day, cheering me up with words of encouragement and doing all in his power to alleviate my suffering,. I finally recovered and was called into court to testify against the des perate gang. I shall never forget e as I their fierce glances toward me told how I entrapped them, or how, in spite of the judge and court officers to sunnress it, the crowd cheered me aa I left the stand. The men were sent for long terms to an Eastern prison and I have never heard of them since." "And did the company reward you for saving the train?" I asked. Well, only slightly. Corporations have no souls, you know. Hut I revenged myself on the superintendent, In a manner." "In what way?" "I married him," she replied, with a charming smile. CREAM FOR CHURNING. How te P revest It from IteremlH jc SMr or Ovor-Kipo. Tliere happens just now to troublesome uncertainty as to keeping and churning of cream. Too be the due to eager dosiro to make cloar what is at present inexplicable, and to tho seeming strife among certain dairy writers to be sensational, llenco the term "ripening'' of cream and const'fluent confusion. Cream is "ripo when ready for churning and making the best quality of butter. This condition is a modtu'Htu degree of acidity or sourness, and tho practical buttermaker may bo stiro there is nothing more than this needed with cream free from all tincleanlinessto make tho best and most butter. Some time ago those "experts'' at present tho loudest on "ripening" wcro equally vociferous in praise of churning sweet cream, lint now It is alleged that sweet crontn will not yield so much butter by twenty or twenty-five per cent, as ripened or sour cream. The latter statement Is as wido ol the mark as it was to say that sweet cream makos best-llavored butter. Some persons prefer the butter to be insipid free from that aroma which is its roost dcslrablo quality to ordinary consumers. Kljencd cream, which makes finely-flavored butter, has just entered the first stage of decomposition known as acidity. If this decomposition goes too far the flavor becomes gradually stronger until it, ends in rancidity. Thero is danger of the cream, by too long keeping, becoming too sour or over-ripe and consequently making inferior butter. Tliis is to be avoided with every care, but especially by keeping the milk at a temperature below sixty degrees and the cream still cooler when a churning is made only onco a week.
