DETECTIVE M'oUiLLAN's STORY

1 was sitting in my office late one
afternoon when q messenger called
and said that detective was wanted
at the office of Wells, Fargo & Co. for
special business. When | got to the
express office l was told what seemed
to me to be a 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 off had been given to the
company by Ike Thompson, who went
by the name CT Pop" one of the
best agents in the express car service,
but I thought that there must be a
mistake in 1t 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 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-
Sun udQ CdIlSQ upOu " as Lip W1S Sdu-
derson knew that Thompson was mar
ried and had family in Lafayette,
n. Z, and he took pains to suggest
to Thompson that it 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 fortune than
working for it.
Thompson is 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
so well that Sanderson never dropped
to the fact that he was being jollisd.

DAYS or weeks afterward. as Thompson

HER LITTLE HAND IN HIS
Mr.. Pickles. Explanation as to Reason
Somewhat DispeiIed the odor
of Romance.

Henne and Pecke were two henpeck'
ed married men. The other day they
met, and, after a few casual remarks
concerning the weather, the subject
of women and unfortunate husbands
was-perhaps naturally-discussed To
Henne, however, suddenly came
thoughts of years ago, when he was
a happy bachelor, and (unconsciously
of what Fate had in store for him)
was walking OUT a girl who was,
later on, destined to bring him sor'
row and misery.
Pecke, seeing a ''far-away" look In
his companions eyes, inquired the
meaning. Henne retorted dramat'
ically, Il was just then thinking. old
fellow, of those happy days long ago
when l used to hold that girls hand
Ia mine for hours-when-"
But the equally unfortunate Pecke
suddenly cut his companion short by
exclaiming: Why, that's nothing!

That One Tniro LACKING.

Lady Augusta Gregory, the able and
ardent apostle of the modern Irish
movement, is fond of telling the fol-
lowing real Irish story:
1T was the wedding day of Pat and
Bridget, and they were having a
church wedding. 1t was grand af-
fair. Pat was dressed with patent
leather shoes, white vest and flaming
tie. Bridget shone attractively in
many colors. The ceremony was over,
and the happy pair walked down the
aisle, out into the street. where a
great crowd greeted them with delight.
Once seated within the cab, Bridget
leaned over to Pat and said, in a loud
whisper, Och, Pat, if we could only
have stood on the sidewalk and watch
ed ourselves pass, wouldn't 1t have
been hiviin'"

HOW MANY OF US
Fail to Select Food Nature Demands
to Ward Off Ailments?

A KY. lady, speaking about food
says: II was accustomed to eating
all kinds of ordinary food until, for
some reason, indigestion and nervous
prostration set in.
After | had run down seriously
my attention was called to the neces-
sity of some change in my diet, and
l discontinued my ordinary breakfast
and began using Grape-Nuts with a
good quantity of rich cream.
I'm a few days my condition
changed in remarkable way, and
began to have a strength that | had
never been possessed of before, a
viger of body and poise OF mind that
amazed me. 1t was entirely new in
my experience.
MY former attacks of indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was dis
tressing with blind spells Of dizziness,
rush of blood to the head and neural
gic pains in the chest.
Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast | have been free from these
troubles, except at times when | have
INDUCED in rich, greasy foods in guam
tity, then | would be warned by a
pain under the left shoulder blade, and
unless | needed the warning the old
trouble would come back, but when
finally got to know where these trou-
bles originated returned to my Grape
Nuts and cream and the pain AID dis
turbance left very quickly. &
Il am now in prime health as a
result of my use of GraPe-Nuts." Name

plan to make big roll of money he
was willing to listen. Then 1 gave
him the idea, cold and plain, of hitting
a rap at the Red Star car
Pop drank in all that I said like a
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 it's load
of coin, If I 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
at a jump.
Pop went along in the regular way,
as 1t was arranged that We were not
going to make the strike until the
fall shipment of gold to Chicago. The
time was left to Pop to select. We
got the tip on Monday, that on the
following Wednesday night the Red
Star car would go out from the Erie
depot with the big load of shiny met
al. We fixed up everything to carry
out our trick. l had a long talk with
Pop. He was so inquisitive about all
the details of robbery, and insisted up
on knowing everything that we were
going to do before hand, that became
suspicious of him.
One of the gang had been on his
track every day without his knowl-
edge, and had never seen or heard
anything wrong, so I thought maybe
I was not fair with Pop to doubt him.
After thinking it all over 1 concluded
that the safest way to deal with Pop
would be to fool him by giving him a
ghost story about the details. l told
him the train would be tagged about
five miles west of Port Jervis and
the safes dumped 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
\
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
once on the big safe and had no trou-
BILE getting into it. Pop, of course,
did not know the combination. We
got out the small sales.--future were
four of them--and they were very
heavy. Pop said the cargo was near
! ly all gold and the prospect was very
| bright.
A few miles this side of Port Jer-
| Wis, at a place agreed upon, and about
| ten miles from where Pop had been
given to understand that the robbery
| would take place, l gave the signal.
| We forced the door of the car and
dumped the safes while we were go
| ing at full speed. About quarter
OF mile beyond, a red light was
| waved in front of the engine. The
| train stopped. We jumped when the
| train Stacked up, and the red light dis
| appeared. We put Pop to sleep in
| the car with a tap on the head and
| closed the door, so that nothing was
known of the robbery until the train
| reached Port Jervis. Then We had a

The Ninth District.

The Hon. Henry c. Stuart practically
wiped out the more than 1000 majority
with which Mr.. Slemp went into the
last contest. A nominal majority saved
Mr. Slemp his seat in Congress. The
superb organization thus effected by
the democrats still remains and thew
Will go into the coming contest with a
mere nominal margin against them and
far more confident of success Rich
mond News-Leader.
These confident representations omit.
/ however, to take into account the adj
mitted fact that the contest between
Stuart and Slemp was an auction in
which material proportion of the vo
tiers were up for sale to the highest bid
der. The result of an election so de-
bauched offers no basis for calculation
as to outcome of succeeding one. For
when suffragan was bought TO cas-
bis ballot for Stuart or for Slemp. as
the case may be, the transaction did not
give the party of the purchaser a con-
tlnuing lien on the allegiance of the
vendor, but was understood to bind his
action for that day ard occasion only.
For that reason, if for no other. we
think our contemporary in error when
taking it for granted that next Novern-
Der the democrats of the Ninth district
will go into the fight foI Ayers with 10
harder task before them than the "mere
nominal margin" by which Slemp won
over Stuart in 1910 This might be sun
possible If Ayers was to be supplied
with unlimited funds and if the SIS me
sort of campaign was to be waged for
him which so increased Stuart's poll
above the normal democratic strenytb
IN the district. But Mr.. Ayers in ao-
cepting the nomination has set bis face
IKE flint against the use of money to
bolster up his cause. He properly de-
clares that he will neither be party Nor
prlvy to such methods as prostitute SUI
frage to the level of behring's on II @
market and will esteem defeat an honor
II the alternative has to be the offering
OF corrupt and corrupting inducements
to the electors. This being so. and we
applaud his determination, should Slemp
resort to the methods heretofore prac-
uced-an he has evaded direct agree
ment that he will not use them-we
fear that the forecast TO be at all reli-
able must be based on the returns for
1908 rather than on those of the wear
before last. Men who have so small
appreciation of civic duty as to sell
their votes are not apt to stay bought:
and unless the law which Judge Skeen
is invoking can be brought to bear for
protection to the purity of elections, we
see little reason to hope for redernp- |
ton of the Ninth district in the near
future. The News Leader appears to
US to speak from the spirit of Mark |
Tapley rather than in tenn per of a poIit-
ical prophet, Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
