AN INTERMISSION SIMPLY.

Yesterday noon q commotion was
observed in a farmers wagon on
Woodward avenue, near Davenport
street. A citizen advanced to dis
cover that farmer and his wife
were having regular old-fashioned
domestic bght at the bottom of the
wagon, while the horses were eat.
ing grass over the curb stones.
"Here-what's to pay ?" shouted
the citizen as he climbed upon the
wheel.
"Fighting !" gasped the woman
whose head was half buried in the
straw.
The farmer made no reply. His
head was under the seat, one leg
over the wagon box, and he was
clawing the air like a man whose
lungs wanted more air.

"Now good night, Gleason" sait
the disappointed robbers, moving t
the sliding door /; eve hope The
company won't discharge you fol
sleeping at your post. OF course VT
are disappointed-we expected tc
make big haul tonight"
The next moment they sprane
from the car, and the messenger
heard prolonged whistle.
Then he saw the bell-rope NOV
ing, and the train fast returned tC
its speed.
He fell back into his chair COM
pletely mystifed. lie could not
imagine who had robbed the safes,
whose empty pockets stared at hiu
from one corner of the car.
His thoughts We're suddenly in
terrupttd by the conductor, who
bounded into his presence.
They did, ell ? Money all gone,
Curse the liends They had a man
on each platform, masked and arm
ed. How much did they get ? They
came on board as passengers.
"Not Il dollar !" said Gleason.
The conductor looked at the
safes, and then at the man, whom
he seemed to regard as mad.
"Where is the money then ?"
81 don't know -
The train was stopped, and rs the
messenger had told his story, search
for the packages began.
1t came to an abrupt and happy
termination. The engineer placed
the lost valuables into Gleason 5
hands.
Bob, the fireman, saw you
climb on to the coal in che tender,
and then you stuffed all these enve-
lopes into one corner. When you
went back into your car We pulled
'em out, and intended to keep 'em
for you till we got to Grafton. Why,
you mad your eyes open, but Bob
and me knew you were in walking
trance"
Thus spoke the engineer, and the
reader may imagine with what
thankfulneSs the messenger received
the envelopes, not one of whose
original number was missing.
l do not know whether the rob-
bers ever learned the story of the
missing vaIuabIes, but l do know
that siLce that night George Glea-
son has not been sOmnabulist.
