CREASED THE TRACK
THEN, THEY LOOTED THE FREIGHT
CARS WITH EASE.

A Train RObbing Scheme That Ia
Said to HaveNOriginated In France
and to Have Created Much Mystery
Until 1t Was Laid bare.
The scheme of greasing railroad
tracks to slow up train is due to an
old Frenchwoman, who saw with re-
greet her sons income as train robber
running down. II can't board those
fast through freight trains" he
complained, in excuse; and his confe6
crates, who were his sons, backed hi
up in it.
"Then grease the track" retorted t.
indomitable old lady, ''and dor
stand there ha-ha-ing like SO mai
Stiles. Try it, and you will find OF
who is silly, you or your old mother.
The boys called it "grandma's idea,
but they tried it. For months afte
the date of this conversation the freigh
department officials of the Paris, Lyons
and Midi Railway company continued
to be mystified over the unaccountable
loss of valuable merchandise from the
fast freight train that had been their
pride and boast. The packages simply
disappeared.
Detectives pursued clews in vain.
The traps laid for the robbers caught
nobody, and the robberies grew more
and more audacious. They sealed the
cars on their departure. The cars ar
rived at their destination with the
seals intact. The cars were specially
watched from the moment of their
loading and sealing until the moment
Of departure. At every station trusted
employees examined them and stood
by them until the train started of
again. They discovered nothing. The

papers, and a wonder mongering phi
Iosopher Of the type Of M. FlammarioI
wrote articles about it, bringing in g
fourth dimension of space, cracks in
the universe" and the innate perver
sity of inanimate objects.

a bag of cough drops over that route
| bag with hole in it, through which
the cough drops fell and scattered.
The indication was precious, because
there was precisely bag Of sugar
coated cough drops among the mer
chandise that disappeared the nigh
before from the fast through freigh
train. Reporting the incident, a care
full search was made Of everything il
the vicinity, and, much to the aston
, ishment of the detectives, the tracks
/ were found to be thickly smeared will

!. "a 0eeRIs 5toryette.r


Why, or course, it flashed on them Inn
mediately that some one must have
put that lard there. Why? That was
the mystery, and they pondered over
1t three days Then one of the detect
ives had great thought. LET us
lie in watch around that neighborhood,
and perhaps something will turn up"
That night as the detectives of the
Paris, Lyons and Midi Railway COM
pany were lying hidden by the track
they perceived dark shadows moving
toward them. Three men, a boy and
two women came up and began mys-
terious operations. They carried buck
cts and worked kneeling down along
the track. They were greasing the
rails again. The detectives allowed
them to work on in peace till all was
finished. They remained in hiding
while the mysterious track greasers,
all but one man, hurried down the line
In the direction of Paris. They wait
ed. The moments seemed long. At
last, however. the rumbling of an ap-
preaching train was heard. 1t was
the fast through freight.
The freight train was coming down
upon them at the rate of 80 miles an
hour. When it struck the grease, they
could see it slide along for quite
distance, then slow up to remarkable
degree. 1t almost stopped. Away
ahead the locomotive puffed and Ia
bored Did the engineer and fireman
feel the Stacking up? 1t seems not.
m. loI. awhile fill
the putting locomotive had dragged IT
clear of the last creased rails and then
resumed it's former speed. But the
detectives, always watching, saw the
whole trick and admired it's ingenuity.
A freight car door was open, and some
one inside was throwing out all kinds
of packages. while the family picked
them up along the track. From the
top of the freight car, just beside the
door, there hung and swung kind OF
rope ladder. They saw the man inside
| the car, when he had finished throwing
packages, come out and support him
self on the ladder. They saw him slide
shut the freight car door. seal it again,
climb the ladder unfasten it. throw it
off and then jump off himself just as
the train was getting up its speed
again. The trick was discovered.
There was nothing left but to arrest

A young man of this city rang up a
lady acquaintance of his in Court
street some days ago. but instead of
her answering the phone herself her
elder sister did so. The young man
recognized the difference at once and
said in suaye. mellow voice:
Won't you please deliver a message

Delighted at the prospect Of carrying
a message that might result in giving
her some insight into the relation that
existed between her sister and the
young man at the other end Of the line,
she answered:

the church and nearly the entire Board
OF Directors OF the Auditorium company
was present
"Cties are an absolute necessity" said
the pastor, for progress in science, art,
invention, all commercial and industrial
activities, in a word to all that makes UP
an enrichng and permanent civilization. In
the divine plan for nations cities have q
mission as well as individuals. As our per-
sonal sphere OF action is shown by our men
tai and physical characteristics, SO the
mission OF city is declared by certain
typographical and historical facts.

of our nation may be inferred from the
characteristics OF it's great cities. For ex-
ample, New York for commercial supremacy
