For two years after receiving the
appointment of express messenger

without adventure. My instructions

body" | was twentythree years old
and pretty we'll posted on the way
crooks worked the express cars.
| wish to- explain to you that the
contracts With the railroads in those
days only called for one-third or one
half tie baggage car. Rates We're
high, and not onc-twentleth part Of the
stuff NOW shipped went by express
then. Sometimes | lad nothing at all
except the small iron safe in which
the money was carried. The baggage
m;tn therefore, occupied the same car.
and tie conductor and brakeman We're
p=iYileg9I to pass through or sit down
On the trunk for Il chat and a smoke.
As the run was at that particular

MY companion was too busy to get
away. as was often the case, he kept
his eyes open on my corner. AS the
safe Was locked and chained there
was little fear of anybody getting
away with it.
On April 26. 1860. had about $50,-

strangers got into a Wrangle with the
baggage man about trunk and nearly

| scarcely knew each other by sight. as
his station was at the tail end of the

only two or three weeks.
| AS the train stopped at Susquehanna
l ran back about square to small
restaurant after my usual piece of pie
l had got it and turned to go when {

drive off with me seated on the safe.
1t was a bold piece of work, as you'll
admit. and it was the =boldness of ii
that diSarinrd suspicion. The wagon
had been gone ten minutes when | en-
tered the ear. and it took NE another
five minutes to convince the brakeman
that | was not an impostor. BY the
time I had hunted UP tn" conductor
and we had found an officer the wagon
had about half an hour start Of us.
The only clew to be had was from
boy. He had noticed the wagon. which
was drawn by one horse. come up
about a quarter of an hour before train
time He had noticed it because the
driver almost drove over him and then
sWore at him; also because the tire on
. one of the hind wheels was loose, and
the man rounded it on with q stone
while waiting and tried to find water to
po,,r on tho wheel. He had seen the
outfit backed up to the car. but had not
noticed Il drive off.

not be an cEargcration. | set off w.

and wagon-the horse tied to the road

of the wagon was down. and right
there the rail fence had been flung
