his favorite tipple Is as follows:
For three pints Of water you VIII
require o teacupful and half Of well
washed pearl barley, four Jumps OF
sugar and the thin rind and juice OF
one lemon. Pour boiling water over
It, cover with saucer and let It stand

"Then set the jug In a cool place

they were agents for an express COM
pany that had q contract for hauling
money for the government, and had
charge of the stuff while It was in
transit from Washington to the mint
in Philadelphia or to other eastern cit
leo.
This Of itself did not specially in

about how carelessly the coin was

were believed to be perfectly safe, I
began thinking bit. Before reach

DETECTIVE m'ourLLAEs STORY

I was sitting In my Office late one
afternoon when a messenger called
and said that detective was wanted
ut the ONCE OF Wells, Fargo & Co. for
special business. When ! got to the
express ONCE / was told what seemed
to me to be very fshy story about
an attack that was going to be made
upon the Red Star money car.
The tip that the robbery was going
to come OF had been given 10 the
company by Ike Thompson, who went
by the name OF Pop" one, Of the
best agents in the express car service.
but ! thought that there must be
mistake in It somewhere. His story
was that while he was in Chicago on
one OF the regular trips he. went to the
house of his sister.in-law, and when
he left he was accosted by q fellow
whom he had known In Jersey City
as Luke Sanderson, one Of the work
men In the Erie Railroad shops.
In some way or other Sanderson had
got the idea that the woman Thomp-
son had called upon was his wife. San.
derson knew that Thompson was mar
ried and had a family In Lafayette.
N. Y, and he took pains to suggest
to Thompson that 1t would go very
hard with him II the company should
learn that he was not living on the
level, as he was earning hardly enough
money legitimately to. run two homes.
Thompson did not stumble to what
Sanderson was driving at until they
were on the way back to Jersey City,
going with an empty money car, when
Sanderson suggested that there was an
easier way to make a fortune than
working for It
Thompson Is a very foxy fellow, and
determined to lead Sanderson on with
the belief that he was ready to go into
anything that would pay big money,
and he managed his part Of the affair
30 well that Sanderson never dropped
to the fact that he was being jollied.
/ was not sent for until several
days or weeks afterward. as Thompson
and the officials were not any too
anxious to divide the honors in the
case, as success made a big thing for
all the company's employees who hgur-
ed in the case.
asked for a sight Of the crook, to
see II / knew him. A meeting was ar
ranged, at which was present, and
when / got my peppers on the bold
Sanderson my old heart gave O.
thump, for l recognized him at
glance as Bob Furey, a crook on both
sides of the ocean In some frst-class
Jobs.
Thompson was to figure only as q
second fiddle III the transaction, and
was to get an even share In the swag
with the others when the money was
divided. It was not necessary for him
to have a knowledge of the details Of
the plans which Furey had put up to
work on the money bags. The gang
wanted q big Doodle, and so long as
We were on to their game l suggested
that we should not give the gang the
tip until there was really a big load
Of dust on board the express car, just
to give the gang the laugh when they
got the throw-down for losing such
a dandy bundle.
The day was finally set for the rob-
berry. Thompson succeeded In getting
all the details, 30 that 1t made the
work dead easy on paper. The sig
nal to hold up the train, II was ar.
ranged, would be given after leaving
Port Jervis on the Erie railroad, which
