He Won the Order.

Many stories of the king of Greece
are told. One of these is to the effect
that on dark winter night in 1882
his majesty was walking along one
of the quays surrounding the Pi-
rmus, when he was heard by sol
der on guard. "Who goes therea"
The king hesitated, being unwilling
to reveal his identity, and turning
abruptly he walked rapidly away.
The soldier fired, slightly grazing
his sovereign's shoulder. The next
day the sentry was greatly surprised
to receive an invitation to the pal
ace. Complimenting him on his ex-
cellent aim and attention to duty,
the king with his own hand pinned
on the astonished soldiers coat the

Sunday Trading In the Past.

It may safely be asserted that
from the time of the Conqueror
(1OGe 10ST Sunday trading received
much attention. In early ages mar
kets and fairs were held on Sundays.
and frequently in the churchyards.
In 1905 the inhabitants of Cocker
mouth presented petition to par
lament, as their market was fast
declining through the Inhabitants
of Crosthwaito dealing in corn, flour,
beans, flesh, fish. ut their church on
Sundays, and that thereby they
were unable to pay their tolls to the
king Edward y. An order was is
sued for closing the church market
at Crosthwaite.
At Bradford, Yorkshire, during
the same reign, tho market was held
on Sunday, doubtless in the church
yard. The toll yielded f3 per annum.
In 1885 statute was passed enact
ing that hcnceforth neither fairs
nor markets be held in churchyards,
for the honor of the church.
In 1912 Il market was granted to
tho town of Scdeciicld, Durham, to
be held on Il Friday, but was soon
changed to SUI lay.
In 1867 tho archbishops of Cantcr-
bury and York delivered charges di-
rccting, among other things, that
"wo firmly forbid amy one to keep
market in tho churches, the porch
es and tho cemeteries thercunto be
longing Or other holy places on the
Lords dny or ot!cr holy festivals. .

At the same instant there was O
slight disturbance in the upper room
that l did not understand, and this
was followed by the rapid move
ment of the car up the track.
Mr.. Chester and his two assistants
appeared at this moment at the
door, but ] could not recognize
them. l first thoue ht l had raised a
hornets nest, bu. with drawn re-
volvers they demanded the surren-
der of the two cowed men and dis
armed them before / had done any
more shooting.
After finding rope we bound the
rascals and proceeded to make an
investigation. First, the battery
was disconnected, and one of the
clerks collected the dynamite car
tridges from the track and put them
in safe place.
Ned Aldrich and Jim Evans were
found in the upper room. bound and
gagged, but uninjured. Their story
may be briefly told.
A wagon had driven up to the
tower about midnight. Two men
entered the room, talked pleasantly
for few minutes and then, draw
ing revolvers, made the operators
surrender and bound and gagged
them. When the pay car was ap-
preaching, Ned and Jim guessed
what was intended, and Jim sue
ceeded in turning the signal bar
with his feet, displaying the white
light as we approached, hoping we
should run by. One robber ran up
and turned the signal back. After
my shot, the effect of which Ned
dinly saw by way of the stairs, the
signal was again changed, and the
car moved out of danger.
Chester and his clerks jumped
from the car as it moved, fearing to
be blown to pieces, not knowing
what l had done, but they quickly
took courage of their desperate sit
uation to cover the robbers with
their revolvers.
The robbers in due course were
sentenced to ten years imprison-
nent The man whose arm l had
shot turned out to be the discharged
Martinsville operator He lost his
arm from the wound.
After things quieted down tele-
graphed from Jones Siding an ac-
count of the attempted robbery to
the central office and returned be-
fore morning to Essex by passing
train.
Mr.. Chester was profuse in his
thanks to me and must have made
much of my part in the nights
events in his reports to headquar-
ters, for at midnight on Christmas
eve my instrument clicked out this
message ir the unmistakable send
ing of the central Office operator:
