THE GREAT X. AND A.
TRAIN ROBBERY.
By PAUL LEICESTER FORD.

had left Sanders two masked men had
entered the mail car and while one COW

had tied and sacked" him Two more
had gone forward and done the same TO
the express agent. Another had climbed
over the tender and ordered the runner
to hold up. All this was the regular pro-
gramme, as | had explained 10 Miss
Cullen, but here had been variation
which l had never heard of being done
and of which / couldn't fathom the OBJ
ject. When the train had been stopped,
the man on the tender had ordered the
fireman to dump his fire, and now 1t was
lying in the roadbed and threatening to
burn through the ties, so my first order
was TO extinguish it and my second was
to start new fire and get up steam as
quickly Us possible. From all l could
learn there were eight men concern
in the attempt, and 1 confess 1 shook
my head in puzzlement why that num-
Der should have allowed themselves to
be scared off so easily.
My wonderment grew when l called

that the last three winchester shots

Then, without speaking, walked slow

Charges OF the winchesters had occurred

supposing they had fired their guns
through hearing another go off, but with
a repeating rife one has to fire before
one can reload. The fact was evident
that Albert Cullen either had fired his
winchester up by the mail car or else
had not fired it at all. In either case he
had lied, and Lord Rallies and Captain
Ackland had backed him up in 1t.
