The train robbed was No. 50, bound
dor Little Rock. Ark. As the train APP
preached Seminole the engineer saw q

being under the impression that he was
being tagged to meet another train.
As the train neared the switch, how
ever. the engineer perceived that fat
car had been run out of the side
track on to the main line and red
light placed on the cal. AS soon as the
train reached the obstruction the en-
Gtne was boarded by two or three men
who commanded the engineer and fire.

they did with alacrity. AS they did so
they were confronted by half dozen
other men armed to the teeth with Win
chesters and revolvers.
A Clean sweep. s-
A detachment of the bandits then
started towards the back of the train,
and as they proceeded gathered the rest
of the train crew who had stepped off
to ascertain the reason for the sudden
stopping of the train. When the robbers
had collected all the crew they were COR
rallied and guard placed over them,
and then they proceeded to their work
OF robbing the express and mail cars.
They attacked the mail car first and
met with no resistance from the clerk.
Pouch after pouch was opened
and ritled of it's contents Then
the letters which had been distrib.
nted in the pigeon holes were gone

After completing their work in the

Having satisfied themselves that they
had secured all the valnables in the ex-
press car the gang then proceeded
Through the coaches and made g. clean
sweep of all valuables in the possession
Of the terrorized passengers. It
would have been more than fol-
AZ for the passengers or crew
to have resisted, as the band
was made up of eight desperate-looking
snen, and it was evident from the way
they went at the job that they knew
their business While the robbers
proceeded through the coaches each
passenger was compelled to hand over
all his cash and jewelry. No violence
was offered, because every one gave up
quickly, glad to escape with whole

my photographs to several Syriac schOl-
airs, asking if they could help me to find
out to which version these gospels be-
longed.
They were all either to busy or their
eyes were, like my own, not of the kind
which read minute things easily. At
length | showed some of the clearest
photographs to Mr.. F. G. Barkitt and he
asked Prof. Busby's help in translating a
page, with the result that they pro-
nounced the version to be one closely
allied to the Curetonian.
1t was evident that a satisfactory tran
scription could be made only from the
manuscript itself, and as these two gen.
tlemen, with Mr.. Rendel Harris, under
took to transcribe it, my sister and 1
offered to return with them to Mount
Sinai, as we thought that our presence
would induce the monks to lend it the
more easily to our friends.
We were not mistaken. The treasure
was at once confided to my keeping, and
for more than month was worked up
on from sunrise till sunset, with the fol-
lowing results:
The upper writing is in one column,
and, as we have said, continuous vol
ume; a selection of short biographies of
women saints, with the title, "Select
Narratives" by one John Hedesh, made
i'll A. d. us. To supply the vellum on
which this is written, an older book
been taken to pieces, and arranged so
that the gospels are interleaved with
each other.
They seem to be there in a complete
form, if only they could be all read; but
the words, which are in two columns,
can only be distinctly seen when they
are on the margin, or beyond the upper
or lower line. The smaller letters of the
gospels have often to be traced amongst
the larger ones of the martyrology.
Some are distinct, but some are greatly
faded, and show themselves only when
touched by a chemical reviver. Nearly
the whole of the gospel of st. Mark has
been transcribed, except the last u
verses, which were absent, as they are
from some of the older Greek codices.
1t is supposed from this that our man
uscript may be more ancient one than
the Curetonan.
The old reading, Goodwill toward
men, Zen anthropois eudokia), in Luke
2:14, is confirmed.
Lastly, our manuscript is linked to the
CuretOnian by its cOlOphon, which came
up under the reviver, and which tells us
that these are the separated gospels
separated, perhaps, from the Diatessaron,
or Harmony of Tatian, which was used
by the Syriac church during the second
and third centuries. The gospels end on
page 800 of the manuscript. The re-
mainder is apocryphal writings, in Sy-
riac and in Greek, which are as yet only
partly transcribed.
We can only hope that this discovery
of an early text of Gods great message
to the world may lead to an increased in
terest in Syrac studies, and to re-
newed search in Eastern monqsteries
for further documents which will, like
the Apology of Aristides, give us more
intelligent insight into the history of the
first martyrs and confessors.- Agnes
Smith Lewis in the Sunday-School
