not to heed my red light and go
through, or, better still, to send an
armed posse from Kingsbury, 10 miles
up the road. I repeated the message
twice, so that he would be sure to hear
il, and then trusted to luck.
The cords and gags were beginning
to hurt, and my anxiety was very great.
The minutes dragged slowly by, and /
thought that hour would never end;
but it did end at last, and all of a sud-
den I.heard the long calliope whistle of
the engine on the flyer as she came
down the grade. This was followed by
two. short blasts, that showed she had
seen my red light and was going to
stop. my God!" I thought. HAS she
been warned" So soon as the train
whistled the men went out, leaving me
helpless on the table. I heard the
whistle of the air brakes and knew the
train must be slowing up. My anxiety
was intense. Presently I heard her
stop at the tank, and then in about
second I listened to the liveliest fusil-
lade that had ever heard in my life.
1t was sweet music to my ears, can
tell you, for it indicated to me what
proved to be fact, that posse was
on the train and that the robbers were
foiled. One Of them was shot and two
were captured, but "Bill,' the leader,
escaped. They had their horses hitched
to the telegraph poles, and as "Bill''
went running by the Office heard him
say: "Ill fix that id operator,
anyhow" Then, bangl crash, went the
glass in the window, and q bullet buried
itself in the table, not two inches from
my head. was not exactly killed, but
I was frightened so badly and the
strain had been SO great that when the
trainmen came in to release me I at
once lost consciousness. When came
to I was surrounded by sympathetic
crowd of passengers and trainmen, and
q doctor who happened to be on the
train was pouring something down my
throat that soon made me feel better.
AS soon as had recovered myself suf-
fciently I telegraphed the dispatcher
what had happened, and the chief, who
in the meantime had been sent for. told
me to close up my Office and come east
on the flyer, to report for duty in the,
morning in his Office as copy operator.
That is how I won my promotion.

The longer 1 gazed down the barrel
of that revolver the bigger it grew, and
it looked to me as If it was loaded with
buckshot to the muzzle. When II had

Ilconcluded that discretion was the
better part Of valor," and reached up
and turned my red light. Meanwhile
the door opened again and three more
men came in. They were masked, and
the minute saw them I knew they
were going to make an attempt to hold
up the Overland flyer. Often this train
carried large amounts of bullion and
currency east, and I supposed they had
heard that there was shipment to go
through that night.
I was standing with my back to the
table, and just then I heard the dis
patcher say that the flyer was 80 min
utes late from the west. Iput my hands
quietly behind me and let the right rest
on the key. I then carefully opened
the key and had just begun to speak
to the dispatcher when one Of the men
suspected me and said to the leader:
"Bill, watch that little cuss. He's mon
keying with the instrument and may
give them warning
I stopped, closed the key and was
trying to look unconcerned, when "Bill''
said that ito stop all chances Of fur
ther trouble they would bind and gag
me. Thereupon two Of the men tied
my hands in front Of me, bound my
legs securely and thrust a villainously
dirty gag in my mouth. When this was
done s'Bill'' said: "Throw him across

opened the key and pretended to be
struggling quite little. The leader
came over, and, giving me a good stiff
punch in the ribs, said, with an oath:
''You keep quiet, or we'll find way ia
make you" I became passive again
and then when the men were engaged
in earnest conversation began to tel

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 7.-Immediate-
ly after the president was cared for at
the the exposition grounds Director Cen
eral W. I. Buchanan started for the Mil
burn residence to forestall any informa-
ton that might reach there by telephone
or otherwise. Luckily he was first to
arrive with the information. The Mag
ara Falls trip had tired Mrs. Mckinley
and on returning to the Milburn resi-
dence she took leave of her nieces, the
Misses Barber, and the presidents niece,
Miss Duncan as we'll as their hostess,
| Mrs Milburn, and went to her room to
rest.
| Mr.. Buchanan broke the news as gent
| ly as possible to the nieces and consult
ed with them and Mrs. Milburn as to the
best course to pursue in breaking the
news to Mrs. Mckinley. 1t was finally
decided that on her awakening or short
! ly thereafter Mr.. Buchanan should break
the news to her, if in the meantime her
physician, DR.. Rixey, had not arrived.
Mrs Mckinley awoke from her sleep
at about $50 o'clock. She was feeling
splendidly, she said, and at once took up
her crocheting, which Is one of her fav-
| orite diversions.
Immediately on Mr.. Buchanan's ar
rival at the Milburn home, he had tele-
phonic communication Herewith cut
off, for already there had been several
calls and he decided on this as the wisesi
course to pursue lest Mrs. Mckinley
hearing the continued ringing of the
telephone bell, might inquire what II
meant.
While the light of day continued Mrs
Mckinley continued with her crocheting
keeping to her room. When 1t became
dusk and the president had not arrived
she began to feel anxious concerning
him.
