CHAPTER III.
THE HOLDING UP OF OVERLAND NO.

THE HOLDING UP OF OVERLAND NO. 3.
On the third day dispatch came
from Frederic Cullen telling his father
he would join us at Lamy ON No. that
| evening. 1 at once ordered 81 and 21S
ON to the connecting train, and in an
hour we were back ON the main line.
| While waiting for the overland to ar
rive, Mr.. Cullen asked me to do some
thing which, as it later proved to have
considerable bearing on the events of
that night, is worth mentioning, trivial
as it seems. When I had first joined
the party, 1 had given orders for 81 to
be kicked in between the main string
and their special, SO us not to deprive
the occupants of 218 of the view from
their observation saloon and balcony
platform. Mr.. Cullen came to me now
and asked me to reverse the arrange
ment and make my Cur the tail end.
was giving orders for the splitting and
kicking in when No. arrived, and
thus did not see the greeting of Frederic
Cullen and his family. When joined
them, his father told me that the high
altitude had knocked his son up, so that
he had had to be helped from the or
binary sleeper to the special and had
gone to bed Immediately. Out west we
have to know something of medicine,
and my car had its chest of drugs. So
took some tablets and went into his
stateroom.
Frederic was like his brother in APP
pearance, though not in manner, having
quick, alert way. He was breathing
with such difficulty that was almost
tempted to give him nitroglycerin, in
stead Of strychnine, but he said he
would be all right as soon as he became
accustomed to the rarefied air, quite
poohpoohing my suggestion that he
take No. 2 back to Trinidad And while
/ was still urging the train started
Leaving him the vials of digitalis and
strychnine, therefore, went back and
dined solus on my own car, indulging
at the end in a cigar the smoke of
which would keep turning into pictures
of Miss Cullen. 1 have thought about
those pictures since then and have con-
cluded that when cigar smoke behaves
like that q man might as well read his
destiny in it, for it can mean only one
thing.
After enjoying the combination I
went to No. 218 to have look at the
son and found that the heart tonics had
benefited him considerably. On leaving
him went to the dining room, where
the rest of the party were still at din
ner, to ask that the invalid have a
strong cup of coffee, and after deliver
ing my request Mr.. Cullen asked me to
join them in a cigar. This I did gladly,
for cigar and Miss Cullen society
were even pleasanter than a cigar and
Miss Cullen's pictures because the pic
lures never quite did her justice, and,
besides, didn't talk.
Our smoke finished, we went back to
the saloon, where the gentlemen sat
down to poker, which Lord Rallies had
just learned and liked. They did not
ask me to take hand, for which was
grateful, as the salary of a railroad SUI
perintendent would hardly stand the
game they probably played And had
my. compensation when. Miss Cullen

took in the facts of the drab clothes of
the gang and the two armed men in
uniform. "They are convicts?' she
asked And when 1 nodded she said
Poor things!' Then after pause she
asked, "How long is he in prison for?''
Twenty years, told her.
"How harsh that seemsp' she said.
"How cruel we are to people for few
moments wrongdoing, which the cir
cumstances may almost have justifed!'
She checked her pony as we came oppo-
site brute and said, "Can you use
money!
"Can I, lyedy?" said the fellow, leer-
ing in an attempt to look amiable.
"Wish had the chance to try"
The guard interrupted by telling her
it wasn't permitted to speak to the con-
victs while out Of bounds, and so we
had to ride on. All Miss Cullen was
able to do was to throw him q little
bunch of flowers she had gathered in
the mountains. It was literally casting
pearls before swine, for the fellow did
not seem particularly pleased, and
when, late that night, I walked down
there with lantern L found the flowers
lying in the ditch. The experience
seemed to sadtlen and distress Miss Gull
len very much for the rest of the after
noon, and l kicked myself for having
called her attention to the brute and
could have knocked him down for the
way he had looked at her. 1t is curious
that felt thankful at the time that
brute was not holding up train Miss
Cullen was on. It is always the unex-
pected that happens. If 1 could have
looked into the future, what q strange
variation on this thought 1 should have
seenl
The three days went all too quickly,
thanks to Miss Cullen, and by the end
of that time began to understand what
love really meant to chap and how
men could come to kill each other for
it. Fora. fairly sensible hard headed

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, April 9.-Gov.
Jones today received letter from pco
pie at Island SeVenty-three, White
river, in which it is said that the peo-
pie there are in imminent danger of
perishing. The inhabitants are on
house tops, on RATS and all manner cf

There are said to be thirty-five families
around the island, AMI The letter states
that unless they receive immediate sue
cor they will certainly perish. One
family near the island has just lest
six children in the flood.
Another letter from G. l3. Blackburn,
inspector of Laconia levee district,

ferings of the victims OF the hOod in
that district and urges the governor
to help render them assistance. At

Lieut.. Newcomer had previously placed
$4,000 to the credit of the emergency
fund here This gives ample funds for
the high water fight that is now going
on.
President Maxwell stated today that
the line in danger extends from Hen
derson, thirty miles above Vicksburg,
to Warrenton, ten miles below. This
territory is being closely watched, and
large forces are at work raising the low
lines and strengthening the, weak
places. At the Bedford Briggs levee,
ten miles below, in Louisiana, the work
is well under way, and it is thought
that two days, more work will put it
out of immediate danger.
