him the idea, cold and plain, of hitting
rap at the Red Star car.
Pop drank in all that / said like
very thirsty man, agreed to meet me
the next day and give me his views.
He was on deck at the appointed time,
and promised to furnish me with the
information about the car and its load
of coin, if would do the rest Of the
work and fix it up so nothing would
point to him. This seemed all right.
If the thing was pulled off he could
get his share Of the Doodle and quit
his job when he felt like it. He was
willing to make the dust, but had been
trained so long on the honest line that
he could not become full-fedged thief

Pop. He was SO inquisitive about all
the details of robbery, and insisted up

going to do before hand, that became
suspicious of him.
One Of the gang had been on his

edge, and had never seen or heard

was not fair with Pop to doubt him.
After thinking it all over concluded

would be to fool him by giving him a
| ghost story about the details. I told
him the train would be tagged about
five miles west of Port Jervis and
the safes dumled from the car. A
| wagon would be in readiness to take
the safes. They would then be blown
open on the road. The plan was to
l bury the gold in a safe place and
! cart away only the greenbacks.
Wednesday night came. The car
pulled out of the depot with Pop on
| the first watch and his partner in the
sleeper. The gang were all in the
smoker. After We got In motion Pop
let us into the car. We started at

about four miles west of Big

to push his subscription into 1915,
and have the address of his pa

so far as McConnellsburg mails
are concerned, is a hardship, as
the Star Route mail driver deliv-

now is, his paper will have to go
to Needmore, and be delivered
next day by the Rural Route car

the sooner our subscribers send
US both the old and the new ad-
dresses the better.
