man. moulder, going to New York in re-
Spouse to Il telegram stating that his child
was dying in tina. city. From 81. Adams
to Burlington he rode in the seat in the
smoking car with stranger carrying a
small valise. AT Burlington the stranger
left the cars for few moments, leaving his
valisc in the seat. The train started and
the owner Of the yelise did not appear
Soon two gentlemen came along and asked
the Englishman to change seats with them
as they wished to play euchre He replied
" certainly, picked up two valises OF MS
own, and the one left behind. intending to
keep 1t for Its owner. Meanwhile the own-
or in Burlington telegraphed to Nergenues
to have his velse stopped. At Nergennes
two officers came aboard the train. and find
ing the yallse in the possession of the Eng
lishman, threatened to have him arrested
The Englishman at once began protesting
his innocence in the most vehement terms,
begged not to be stopped as his child was
dying, gave his name and produced his tele-
gram. Still the officers were not satisfied
and were going to remove the man in spite
of his protests and those of several passen-
gers, who declared they knew the man had
no intention of stealing the valise. The
scene went on fifteen or twenty minutes,
when a lawyer was found who told the Off
GERS that they could not hold the man. as
the yalse had not been opened Being
satisfied on this point, the officers took tine
valise and left the ear. No sooner was the
door closed behind them than the English
man-whO had been very white and excited
throughout the colloquy-iainted. He soon
recovered, however. and at Rutland took
