NO UMBRELLAS FOR SOLDIERS.

The rain fell in torrents on the
soldiers tramping sturdily down the
muddy street.
"Why don't they put up their UNI
brellas?" said a spectator.
With a sheer an elderly man re-
piled:
Don't you know, sir, that soldiers
carry umbrellas? History re-
cords just one instance of their hay
ing done so. 1t was in an engage
ment of the civil war and a group of
officers were holding up umbrellas to
shield themselves from a thunder
storm when Gen. Grant passed.
"The general frowned at the sight
and sent an aid to the officers with
this historic message;
81 do not approve of the use of
umbrellas in war and will not allow
any of my soldiers to make them
selves ridiculous in the eyes of the
enemy
"Since that time," ended the old
man. ''no soldiers has ever dared to
protect his uniform with the effem-
mate umbrella"

just cleared away the table and
gone forward into the smoker to
gossip with a friend, for he knew
his master would not need him for
an hour or more. Marston leaned
back in his chair, lighted a cigar
and was about to pick up his news
paper when he was disturbed by a
slight noise behind him. Turning
quickly, he found himself gazing
into the threatening muzzle of a
very large and ~business-like revolt
yer. Behind the revolver was Nat
Wilson, the desperate, who, made
reckless by the cold, had tried the
door of the car, found it much to
his surprise unlocked and, regard
less of consequences, with one quick
movement had entered and then Sc
curely fastened the door behind
him.
Don't move or make an cutlery,
and | won't hurt you," said Wilson
%sternly, as Marston started to his
feet.
As Wilson spoke he started slight
ly and peered intently at the mill
lionaire. Yes, it was undoubtedly
so. Making due allowance for diff
ference in garb and the fact that
Wilson had two weeks beard ON his
face, while the banker was clean
shaven, the two, men were almost
exact counterparts of each other.
Both were about 40 years Of age, Of
medium height, with regular fea-
lures and red brown hair.
Up to this time Wilson had en-
tertained nc more definite purpose
in entering the car than to escape
the intense cold and see what might
then turn up. Now, however, he
had a definite idea flash into his
mind. Its very boldness and risk
pleased him. Here was a chance. to
cheat the law and at the same time
resume the old life of a gentleman,
even though but for a few hours.
Marston had subsidized into his
chair at Wilson's words, dazed at
first, for he realized his utter help
lessness. At length be said coolly;

AS he crouched closer, Wilson

platform of lprivate a No. 800,
which was attached to, the end Of
the Montana express. Muttcring
inaudiblc oaths he rubbed his numb
and almost frozen fingers in an eff
fort to restore circulation. For six
long hours he had .crouched in the
cold and darkness in hourly dread
that some prowling brakeman would
discover him.
So far, however, fortune had been
kind and had it not been for the Bit
ter cold Wilson might have been
well pleased with his position. Let
him but reach Denver, now only a
few hours away, and he would be
safe, for awhile at least. Since that
last robbery at Billings the city au-
thorities had offered a reward of
$500 for the capture of ''Na-

bank robber and noted crook and
for days he had been in momentary
fear of arrest.

May I trouble you to stand up and
face the other way a ma~pcnt.
There, all right; thank you"
While speaking, and as the bank
er complied with his directions, VIII
son approached him and, still hold
ing the revolver, ran his free hand
through the others pockets. Salts
fed with his examination, he step
ped back and said:
"Take off that suit and be quick
about it. Well be at Broken Bow
presently, and | don't want any in
terruption."
Grnmbling, the banker complied,
and as he did so Wilson rapidly di-
vested himself of his W scanty
apparel.
"Now put these on" he ordered,
as be threw his clothes to the other,
"and toss me yours"
In a few moments the two men
were fully clad once more, each in
the others clothing.
Light was beginning to dawn on
the banker, for he, too, had noticed
the facial and physical resemblance
between them, but he said nothing.
Stepping to the door of Marston's
stateroom Wilson switched on the
light and motioned to the other
man to precede him, keeping him
constantly covered with his revolt

"Tm going to lock you in here for
the present, and I advise you to
keep quiet" said Wilson, s'for 1

significantly at his pistol. Don't
try the windows, for the train is
running fast and you would proba-
bly, be killed"
Hurrying to the other end of the
car the highwayman quickly pro-
cured Marston's razor and in a few
moments he was the living image of
the banker himself. just in time,
too, for almost Immediately the
train began to slow down as il rolled
into Broken Bow. There was
scarcely time for a few hurried
words of warning to Marston before
they reached the station.
Black George, the porter, glanced
into the car at this moment, but,
seeing his master deeply engaged in
a novel, he went back to the more
congenial society of his negro
friend.
The instant the train began to
move Wilson unlocked the state
room and, at the point of his revolt
yer, hurried Marston out on to the
rear platform.
Jump, quick" he commanded.
And, with one look at the deter.
mined face of the man behind him,
Marston sprang from the slowly
moving train.
