I havo read or been told that, unassisted, the pseudo hero captured a dozen desperadoes that he was one of the road agents himself that ho was saved from lynching only by the timely arrival of cavalry that the action of the United States government in rescuing him from the civil authorities was a most high handed interference with state rights that he received his reward from a grateful railroad by being promoted that a lovely woman as recompense for his villainy—but, 1 other it's my business to tell what really occurred and not what the world chooses to invent And if any man thinks ho would have done otherwise in my position I can only sr.y that he is a better or a worso man than Dick Gordon.

Primarily, it was football wh ch sliaped my end. Owing to ^lll in the game, I took a postgraduate at the Sheffield Scientifio school, that the team might havo my services for an extra two years. That led to my knowing a little about mechanical engineering, and wheii I left the "quad" for good I went into the Alton railroad shops. It wasn't long beforo I was foreman of a section next I became a division sujierintendent, and after I had stuck to that for a time I was appointed superintendent of the Kansas and Arizona railroad, a line extending from Trinidad in Kansas to The Needles in Arizona, tapping the Missouri Western system at the first place and the Great Southern at the other.

CHAPTER I

THE PARTY ON SPECIAL HO. 218.

Any one who hopes to find in what i« iere written a work cf literature had ljetter lay it aside unread. At Yale I •herald have got the sack in rhetoric and English composition, let alone other studies, had it not been for the fact that I played half hark on the team and so the professors marked me away up above where I ought to have ranked. That was 12 years ago, but my life since I received my parchment has hardly been of a kind to improve me in either style or grammar. It is true that one •woman tells me I write well and my directors never find fault with my compositions, but 1 know that she likes my letters because, whatever else they may say to her, they always say in some form, "I love you," while my board approves my annual reports because thus far I have been able to end each with "I recommend the declaration of a dividend of per cent from the earnings of the current year." I should therefore prefer to reserve my writings for such friendly critics if it did not seem necessary to make public a plain statement concerning an affair over which there appears to be much confusion. I havo heard in the last five years not less than 20 renderings of what is commonly called the great K. and A. train robbery," some so twisted and distorted that but for the intermediate versions I should never have recognized them as attempts to narrate the series of events in which I played a somewhat prominent part

had important traffic

agreements, as well as the closest relations, which sometimes were a little difficult, as

the

two roads were anything

but friendly. And we had directors of each on the K. and A. board, in which they fought like eats. Indeed it could only be a question of time when one would oust tin4 other and then absorb my road. My headquarters were at Albuquerque, in New Mexico, and it was there, in October, 1890, that I received the communication which was the beginning of all that followed.

This initial factor was a letter from the president, of the Missouri Western, telling mo that their first vice president, Mr. Culleu (who was also a director of my road), was coming out to attend the annual election of the K. and A., which under our charter had to be held in Ash Forks, A. T. A secoud paragraph told ne that. Mr. Cullen's family accompanied him, and that they all wished to visit the Grand canyon of the Colorado on their way. Finally the president wrote that the party traveled in his own private car mid asked me to make myself generally useful to them. Having become quite hardened to just such demands, at the proper date I ordered mv superintendent's car on to No. 2, and the next morning it was dropped off at Trin idad.

The moment- No. 8 arrived

climbed

into the president's special, that was the last car on the train, and introduced myself to Mr. Cullen. whom, though sui official of my road, I had never met. Ho seemed surprised at my presence, but greeted me very pleasantly as soou as I explained that the Missouri Western oftW had asktxl me to do what

After the introductions

could

for him and that I was there for that purjnvse. His party were about to sit down to and he asked me to join hejn. So we passed into the dininar room at the forward end of the ear. where

was introduced to "My

son,"

"Lord Railed" and "Captaiu Ackland. The son was a junior copy of his father, tail and fine looking but, in place of the frank and easy manner of his sire, he was so very English that most people would have sworn falsely as to liis native land. Lord Ralles was a little, wells built chap, not half so English as Albert Culleu, quick in unuiner and thought, being in this the opposite of his brother. Captain Acklaud, who was heavy enough to rock ballast a roadbed. Both brothers gave me the iniprwwiou of being gentlemen, aud both were decidedly good looking.

Mr.

Cullen

said we would not wait, and his remark called my attention to the fact that there was one more place at the table than there were people assembled. I barely noted this when my host said, "Here's the truant," and, turning, I faced a lady who had just entered. Mr. Cullen said, "Madge, let me introduce Mr. Gordon to you." My bow was made to a girl of about 20, with light brown hair, the bluest of eyes, afresh glrin and a fine figure, dressed so nattily as to be to me, after my four years of western life, a sight for tired eyes. She greeted me pleasantly, made a neat little apology for having kept us waiting, and then we all sat down.

It was a very jolly breakfast table, Mr. Cullen and his son being capital talkers and Lord Balles a good third, while Miss Oullen was quick and clever enough to match the three. Before the meal was over I came to the conclusion that Lord Ralles was in love with Miss Cullen, for he kept making low asides to her, and from the fact that she allowed them, and indeed responded, I drew the conclusion that he was a luoky beggar, feeling, I confess, a little pang that a title was going to win such a nice American girl.

One of the, first subjects spoken of was train robbery, and Miss Cullen, like most easterners, seemed to take a great interest in it and had any quantity of questions to ask me. "I've left all my jewelry behind, except my watch," she said, "and that I hide every night. So I really hope we'll be held up, it would be such an adventure. "There isn't any chance of it, Miss Culleu," I told her, "and if we wer, you probably wouldn't even know that it was happening, but would sleep right through it.'' "Wouldn't they try to get our money and our watches?'' she demanded.

I told her no and explained that the tfepress and mail cars were the only ones to which the road agents paid any attention. Sho wanted to know tho way it wits done so I described to her how sometimes tho train was flagged by a danger signal, and when it had slowed down the runner found himself covered by armed men, or how a gang would board tho train, one by one, at way stations, and then, when the time oame, steal forward, secure the express agent and postal clork, climb over the tender and compel the runner to stop the train at some lonely spot on the road. She made me tell her all the details of such robberies as I knew about, and, though I had never been concerned in any, I was able to describe several, which, as they were monotonously alike, I confess I colored up a bit lUro and there, in an attempt to make them interesting to her. I seemed to succeed, for she kept tho subject going even after we had left the table and were smoking our cigars in tho observation saloon. Lord Ralles had a lot to say about the American lack of courage in letting trains containing 20 and 80 men be held up by half a dozen robbers. "Why," he ejaculated, "both my brother and 1 have a double expross with us, and do you think we'd sit still in our seats? No. Hang me if we wouldn't pot. something!" "You might," I laughed, a little nettled, I confess, by his speech, "but I'm afraid it would be yourselves." "Aw, you fancy resistance impossible?' drawled Albert Cullen.

It has been tried,'' I answered, and without success. You can see it's like all surprises—one side is prepared before the other side knows there is danger. Without regard to relative numbers, the odds are all in favor of the road agents, "But I wouldn't sit still, whatever tho odds,'' said his lordship. "Aud no Euglislfnan would." "Well, my lord," I said, "I hope, for your sake, then, that you'll never be in a hold up, for I should feel about you as the runner of a locomotive did when the old lady asked him if it. wasn't very painful to him to run over people. 'Yes, madam,' he sadly replied. "There is nothing that musses an engine up so.'

I don't think Miss Oullen liked Lord Ralles' comments on American courage any better than I did, for she said: "Can't yon take Lord Ralles and Captain Ark] and into the service of the K. and A., Mr. Gtwdon, as a special guard?" "The K. and A. has never had a robbery yet Miss Cullen," I replied, "and I don't think that it ever will have." "Why not?" she asked.

I explained to her how the canyon of the Colorado to the north and the distance of th" *xican border to the south made escape so almost desperate that the road agents preferred to devote their attentions to other routes, "If we were boarded. Miss Cullen," I said, "your jewelry would be as safe, as it is in Chicago, for the robbers would only clean out the express and mail cars. But if they should so far forget their manners as to take your trinkets I'd agree to reami them to you inside of one week." "That makes it all the jollier," she cried eagerly. "We could have the fan of the adventure and yet net lose any thing. Can't you arrange tor it, Mr. Gordon?" "I'd like to please you. Miss Cullen," I said, "and I'd like to give Lord Ralles a chain* to show us bow to hand le*those gentry, but it's not to be done." I real

iaJfillllill

ly should have been glad to have the road agents pay us a call We spent that day pulling up the Raton pass, and so on over the Glorietta pass down to Lamy, where, as the party wanted to see Santa Fe, I had our two cars dropped off the overland, and we ran up the branch line to the old Mexican city. It was well worn ground to m$, but I enjoyed showing the sights to Mia* Cullen. for by that time I had come to the conclusion that I had never met a sweeter or jollier girL Her beauty, too, was of a kind that kept growing on one, and before I had known her 24 hours, without quite being in love with her, I was beginning to hate Lord Ralles, which was about the same thing, I suppose. Every hour convinced me that the two understood each other, not merely from the little asides and confidences they kept exchanging, but even more so from the way Miss Cullen would take his lordship down occasionally. Yet, like a fool, the more I saw to confirm my first diagnosis the more I found myself dwelling on the dimples at the corners of Miss Cullen's mouth, the bewitching uplift of her upper lip, the runaway curls about her neck and the curves and color of her cheeks.

Half a day served to see everything in Santa Fe worth looking at, but Mr. Cullen decided to spend there the tim^ they had to wait for his other son to join the party. To pass the hours I hunted up some ponies, and we

The guard interrupted by telling her it wasn't permitted to speak to the convicts while out of bounds, and so we had to ride on. All Miss Cullen was able to. do was to throw him a little bunch of flowers she had gathered in the mountains. It was literally casting pearls beforo swine, for the follow did not seem particularly pleased, and when, late that night, I walked down there with a lantern I found the flowers lying in the ditch. The experience seemed to sadd^p and distress Miss Cullen very much for the rest of the afternoon, and I kicked myself for having called her attention to the brute and could have knocked him down for the way he had looked at her. It is curious that I felt thankful at the time that Drute was not holding up a train Miss Cullen was on. It is always the unexpected that happens. If I could have looked into the future, what a strange variation on this thought I should have seen!

The three days went all too quickly, thanks to Miss Cullen, and by the end of that time I began to understand what love really meant to a chap and how men could come to kill each other for it For a fairly sensible, hard headed fellow it was pretty quick work, I acknowledge, but let any man have seven years of western life without seeing a woman worth speaking of and thai meet Miss Cullen, and if he didn't do as I did I wouldn't trust him on the tailboard of a locomotive, for I should put him down as defective both in eyesight and in intellect.

CHAPTER

THE HOLDING CP OF OVERLAND SO. 8.

On the third day a dispatch came from Frederic Cullen telling his father he would join us at Lamy on No. 3 that evening. at once ordered 97 and 218 on to the connecting train, and in an hour we were back on the main line. While waiting for the -overland to arrive* Mr. Cullen asked me to do something which, as it later proved to hare considerable bearing on the events of that night, is worth mentioning, trivial as it seems. When I had first joined the party, I had given orders for 97 to be kicked iu between the main string and their special, so as not to deprive the occupants of 218 of the view from their observation saloon and balcony platform. Mr. Cullen came to me. now

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, MARCH 20, 1897.

spent

three days in long rides up the old Santa Fe trail and to the outlying mountains. Only one incident was other than pleasant, and that was my fault. As we were riding back to our cars on the second afternoon we had to cross the branch roadbed, where a gang happened to be at work tamping the ties. "Since you're interested in road agents, Miss Cullen," I said, "you may like to see one. That fellow standing in the ditch is Jack Drute, who was concerned in the D. and R. G. hold up three years ago."

Miss Cullen looked where I pointed, and, seeing a man with a gun, gave a startled jump and pulled up her pony, evidently supposing that we were about to be attacked. "Shan't we run?" she began, but then cheoked herself as she

Introduced myself to Mr. Cullen. took in the facts of the djjjt-clothes of the gang and the two^'lmiied men in uniform. "They are convicts?" she asked. And when I nodded she said, "Poor things I" Then after a pause she asked, "How long is he in prison for?" "Twenty years," I told her. "How harsh that seems!" she said. "How cruel we are to people for a few moments' wrongdoing, which the circumstances may almost have justified!" She checked her pony as we came opposite Drute and said, "Can you use money?" "Can I, lyedy?" said the fellow, leering in an attempt to look amiable. "Wish I had the chance to try."

tnri asked me to reverse the arrangement aud make my car the tail end. I was giving orders for the splitting and kicking in when No.

arrived, and

thus did not see the greeting of Frederic Cullen and his family. When I joined them, his father told me that the high altitude had knocked his son up, so that he had had to be helped from the ordinary sleeper to the special and had gone to bed immediately. Out west we have to know something of medicine, and my car had its chest of drugs. So I took some tablets and went into his stateroom.

Frederic was like his brother in appearance, though not in manner, having a quick, alert way. He was breathing with such difficulty that I was almost tempted to give him nitroglycerin, instead of strychnine, but he said he would be all right as soon as he became accustomed to the rarefied air, quite poohpoohing my suggestion that he take No. 2 back to Trinidad. And while I was still urging the train started. Leaving him the vials of digitalis and strychnine, therefore, I went back and dined solus on my own car, indulging at the end in a cigar the smoke of which would keep turning into pictures of Miss Cullen. I have thought about those pictures since then and have concluded that when cigar smoke behaves like 4hat a man might as well read his destiny in it, for it can mean only one thing.

After enjoying the combination I went to No. 218 to have a look at the son and found that the heart tonics had benefited him considerably. On leaving him I went to the dining room, where the rest of the party were still at dinner, to ask that the invalid have a strong cup of coffee, and after delivering my request Mr. Cullen asked me to join them in a cigar. This I did gladly, for a cigar and Miss Cullen's society were even pleasanter than a cigar and Miss Cullen's pictures, because the pictures never quite did her justice, and, besides, didn't talk.

Our smoke finished, we went back to the saloon, where the gentlemen sat down to poker, which Lord Ralles had just learned and liked. They did not ask me to take a hand, for which I wa* grateful, as the salary of a railroad superintendent would hardly stand the game they probably played. And I had my compensation when Miss Cullen also was not asked to join them. She said she was going to watch the moonlight on the mountains from the platform and opened the door to go out, finding for the first time that No. 67 was the "cnder." In her disappointment she pi'otested against this and wanted to know the why and wherefore. "We shall have far less motion. Madge," Mr. Cullen explained. "Ano then we shan't have the rear end man in our car at night" "But I don't mind the motion,'' urged Miss Cullen, and the flagman is there only after we are all in oui rooms. Please leave us the view." "I prefer the present arrangement Madge," said Mr. Cullen in a very positive voice.

I was so sorry for Miss Cullen's disappointment that on impulse, I said, "The platform of is entirely at .four service, Miss Cullen!" The moment it was out I realised that I ought not to have said it and that I deserved a rebuke for supposing she would use my car.

Miss Cullen took it better than I hoped for aud was declining the offer, as kindly as my intention had been in making it when, much to my astonishment, her father said: "By all means, Madge. That relieves us of the diecomfort of being the last car, and yet lets you have "the scenery and moonlight"

Miss Cullen looked at her father for a moment, as if not believing what she had heard. Lord Ralles scowled and opened his mouth to say something, but checked himself and only flung his discard down as if he hated the cards. "Thank you, papa," said Miss Cullen. "Bat I think I will watch you play." "Now, Madge, don't be foolish," said Mr. Cullen irritably. "You might just as well have the pleasure, and you'll only disturb the game if you stay here."

Miss Cullen leaned over and whispered something, and her father answered her. Lord Ralles must have heard, for he muttered something which made Miss Cullen color up, but much good it did him, for she turned to me and said, "Since my father doesn't disapprove, 1 will gladly accept your hospitality, Mr. Gordon." And, after a glance at Lord Ralles that had a challenging "I'll dc as I please" in it, she went to get hei hat and coat.

The whole incident had not taken ten seconds, yet it puzzled me beyond measure, even while my heart beat with an unreasonable hope, for my better sense told me that it simply meant that Lord Ralles disapproved, and Miss Cullen, like any girl of spirit, was giving him notice that he was not yet privileged to control her actions. Whatever the scene meant, his lordship did not like it, for he swore at hi^luck the moment Miss Cullen hadleft the room.

When Miss Cullen returned, we went back to the rear platform of

97.

I let

down the traps, closed the gates, got a campstool for her to sit on, with a cushion to lean back on and a footstool, and fixed her as comfortably as I could, even getting a traveling rug to cover her lap, for the plateau air was chilly. Then I hesitated, a moment, for I had the feeling thfit She had not thoroughly approved of tfete thing and therefore she might not like to have me stay. Yet t-h» was so charming in the moonlight, and the little balcony the platform made wa* such a tempting spot to linger on, while she was there, that it wasn't easy to go. Finally asked:

Mi*

Yon are quite coed Cullen?" *-i "Sinfully so," she laughed.

"Then perhaps you would like to be left to r-njogr moonlight and yam meditations by yourself?" I questioned. I knew I ought to have said afore. but I

simply couldn't when she looked so enticing. "Do you want to go?" she asked. "No," I ejaculated, so forcibly that she gave a little startled jump in her chair. "That i9—I mean," I stuttered, embarrassed by my own vehemence, "I rather thought you might not want me to stay." "What made you thipk that?" she demanded.

I am not a good hand at inventing explanations. After a moment's seeking for some. reason I plumped out, "Be-

"Don't you find it very lonelyf" cause I feared you might, not think it proper to use my car, and I suppose it's my presence that made you think it

She took my stupid fumble very nicely, laughing merrily while saying. "If you like mountains and moonlight, Mr. Gordon, and don't mind the lack of a chaperon, get a stool for yourself too." What was more, she offered me half cl the lap robe when I was seated beside her.

I think she was pleased by my offeto go away, for she talked very pleasantly and far moro intimately than she had ever done before, telling me faotfabout her family, her Chicago life, lici travels and even her thoughts. Froii this I learned that her elder brother was an Oxford graduate, and that Lord Ralles and his brother were classmates, who were visiting him for the first time since he had graduated. She asked me some questions about my work, which led me to tell her pretty much everything about uiyself that I thought could be of the least interest, and it wr.a a very pleasant surprise to me to find that she knew one of the old team and had even heard of me from him. "Why," sho exclaimed, "how absurd of me not to havo thought of it before! But, you see, Mr. Colston always speaks of you by your first name. You ought to hear how he praises you." "Trust Harry to praise anyone, "1 said. "There were some pretty low fellows on the old team—men who could not keep their word or their tempers aud would slug every chance they got— but Harry used to insist there wasn't a bad egg among the lbt" "Don't you find it very lonely to live out here, away from all your old friends?" sho asked.

I had to acknowledge that i(t was, and told her the worst part was the absenc of pleasant women. "Till you arrived, Miss Cullen." I said, "I hadn't seen a well gowned woman in four years." I've always noticed that a woman would

How to CphoUter a Window Seat,

A box of the right length and width to fit in a desired place can bo got at the grocer's, and with a saw and a screwdriver a cover oan be made and pat on with binges. A board to be screwed on for a back to the seat, if desired, can be shaped quite easily by almost any one.

When the box is ready, the cushioned seat is first made by patting hair or excelsior on the cover aud a second covering. of denim, with a balance of the same to cover the rest of the box. Green denim has a cdol and pleasing effeot, or any shade that will harmonize with the room where the-seat will be used.

If it is desired to tuft the seat as an additional finish, this may be done with denim buttons to match in oolor, and fastening them through the cover by passing the upholsterer's thread through holes bored in the top board.
