AS a HOrsewOman.

Cousin Jack took her Gliding in good
part, and to show that his feelings were
not hurt challenged her to q horseback
race the next day. Now, if there is any
one thing that Sally can do better than
another, it is the management of a fiery
Kentucky thoroughbred. There is no horse
on her fathers place she cannot tame,
just as there is no rifle or revolver about
the house she cannot shoot with the skill
of practiced sportsman.
Jack has told me about that ride moro
than once: 81 had obtained leave of alb
sonce from the military academy in which

standing that I should return to quarters
before that evening, and we started, but

goes, L wasn't in it, Taking q course
across the country, she led me n race over
fences and fallen trees across bitches and
through distractions such as one only
meets in % fox hunt until we had covered
miles. The afternoon was hot, and the
perspiration stood in great beads on my
face and soaked through the gray jacket
and white trousers of my uniform.
'Suddcnly we came to a set of bars, and
claimed, Halt q moment, and I'll lower

all right, but I was left to pick up myself
on the other side. Catching my animal,
she brought him back to where I was
standing specchless with modification and
then, minxlike, added to it by remarking,
why, Cousin Jack, thought you knew
how to ride; but, never mind, We'll go
back another way in which there will be

IOOTING OF THE NEW
ENGLAND EXPRESS CAR

as the biow-pipe and putty had been
used to get powder into the safe.
'sHartwell had not the least idea al
what part of the road he was attacked,
and all that he could recall was that
shortly after the thieves left he heard
cries of fire and the ringing OF what
sounded to him like a cracked church
bell. The thieves had pounded MS
head before leaving, but he was not
unconscious. When the crooks left
they fastened the door with the lock
on the outside, and stuffed a black hat
into the hole in the door to prevent the
light from shining from the inside.
''AIy first work was to try and locate
the place where the thieves left the
train, and my only clew was the
cracked bell and fire. 1 went by train
along the road, stopped at all stations,
but did not strike anything until I
reached New Haven. I learned there
that just before the night the Boston
express reached the depot a fire had
broken out IN the lower part of the
city, and the bell rang from a Presby-
terrain church. This was the last thing
which Hartweil remembered until he
was aroused in his car in Boston, and
I concluded that the thieves got off at
New Haven. My judgment in this was
confirmed by the finding of a new bit
and augur a quarter Of a. mile from
the depot, which had been used to bore
a hole in the car door
The train had made only one stop
between New York and New Haven,
and that was at Bridgeport 1t was
evident that the thieve- had boarded
the train either in Bridgeport or New
York, and all that I found which might
have thrown light on the robbery was
that three men had bought tickets for
New York on the last train from New
Haven. which left soon after the Bos-
ton express had passed through No
one had got on the train at Bridgeport
or at least no one was seen to, and it
was my notion that the thieves started
from New York after receiving a tip
from some railroad man who was ia

work.
Il made inquiry at the freight yard
where the express car was stored when
not in use, and I got my first tip there
from a day Waterman, who told me
that several days before a. stranger,
who said that he was a car builder,
asked permission of him to look at the

transit. The usual cards OF warning
were sent out to pawnbrokers and jew
elers who were in the habit of hand
ling stolen goods, giving a description
of the stolen jeweriy. The case moved
on very slowly, and it seemed as if the
thieves had successfully hidden every
trace of their movements. At the Of

that only three men there knew when

to Solly, with instructions to find the
car and look it carefully over from the
outside, and inside, if possible. Solly
did his part of the work in great shape
and the next time l saw him he had a
complete diagram OF the car. The car
was provided with only ordinary out

surprise and delight he said that my
guess was a day ahead, and on the
next day there was going to be heavy
shipment of money and jewelry for the
holiday trade. L got from him the
time when the train would start, and
1 invited him to have supper with me
the following evening. This was done,
so that he would not suspect that L
had anything to do with the work, and
to be sure that the goods had gone.
We had supper down town, and he
told me that the company had sent out
the most valuable shipment of the
year. While we were eating 1 told
him that 1 had received word that my
mother was very i'll in Baltimore.
About the time l would have to start
to reach the Centre street depot, a
telegraph message, which I had ar
ranged for was delivered to me. 1t
was to the effect that my mother was
dead. 1 left my dear young friend and
started for Baltimore by the way of
Boston.

the depot. We went singly to the
smoker and went out on the front plat

the door, and a hole was cut with an
anger on a line with the cross-bar.
The bar was pushed aside, and the
door opened into a small room. There
was door from this that was not
locked. I threw it open and found the
messenger asleep. L apologized for
waking him up, then tied and gagged
him. We opened the fire-proof safe
with wedges. We blew open the

Everything was cleaned up when we
reached New Haven, and after fixing

give an alarm until he got to Boston,

''T received an official notification,
said Detective Lawton, "of the New
England express car robbery from Bos-
ton. and. as the details had not been
fully gathered owing to the dazed con-
dition of the car messenger, L got
aboard a special engine and was
whisked off to Boston at a mile a min
ute. I found the messenger-nis name
was Hartwen, L think-suffering from
several severe wounds on the scalp, and
the doctors were OF the opinion that
his skull had been fractured by
heavy, blunt instrument.
He was then just able to talk, not
in a very connected way, but sufhclent-
IL well TO give me an idea of how the
robbery, happened. 1t was to his credit
that he did not conceal the fact that
ne was sleeping in the car alongside of
several hundred thousand dollars
worth of property when the thieves
gained an entrance. He did not near
or see anything, therefore, until the
thieves woke him with bang on the
head and tied him before he could
make any show of resistance. He did
not get a good look at any of the
crooks. and about all that he knew was
that there We're three il the party, all
large and heavily built men. The men
had on black masks when he first saw
them, and after they had gagged and
tied him a towel or bag was put over
his face

my first impression was that the work
