 Martin said he was busy working when the robber appeared. He did not know where the train was at that time. The first thing he knew of the hold-up was command to throw up your hands," and he turned to see a man, apparently middle-aged, wear ing a mask and dressed in brown suit, who pointed pistol at his head.
 'If you make move that l don't like will blow your head off like would a dog" said the robber, forcing the messenger toward the corner of the car. He robbed Martin of his keys and then bound a sack around his head and face. with the additional warning to the messenger that a move to lift the sack would result in the robber "blowing a hole through him."
 That is all that Martin saw orI heard until the conductor and others of the train crew forced an entrance into the car at Silsbee and released him, almost suffocated.
 Before the robber escaped he care fully locked all doors of the car with Martins keys, exc cept the end door, from which he swung off the train. it is believed the bandit left the train near Helbig, F miles north of Beau mont in thickly wooded and sparse ly settled section. He is thought to have hidden behind freight in the car, which was also the baggage car, while the train was standing in, the Beaumont station. Two men whose actions have been since thought sig nificant by the local police are being sought as suspects. Sheriff's posses left for the scene of the hold-up in automobiles.

LAID A TRAP FOR LIST.
And the Famous and Feeble Old Master
Walked Right Into Ii.

"Begin by putting the piano in
the farthest, darkest corner of the
room and put all sorts of heavy
things on it. Then he won't think
you have asked him in the hope of
hearing him play, and perhaps we
can persuade him." The arrange
ments were just finished as the rest
of the company arrived. We we're
not large party, and the talk was
pleasant enough. List looked much
older, so colorless, his skin like,
ivory, but he seemed just as animat-
ed and interested in everything.
After luncheon, when they were
smoking (all of us together; no one
went into the smoking room), he
and Hatzfeldt began talking about
the empire and the beautiful fetes
at Compiegne, where anybody of
any distinction in any branch of art
or literature was invited. Hatzfeldt
led the conversation to some even
ings where Strauss played his
waltzes with an entrain, sentiment
that no one else has ever attained,
and to Offenbach and his melodies
-one evening particularly when he
had improvised song for the en-
press-he couldn't quite remember
it. If there were piano-he look
ed about. There was none apparent
ly. "Oh, yes, in a corner, but SO
many things upon it, it was evident
ly never meant to be opened
He moved toward it, List fol-
lowing, asking Comtesse A. if it
could be opened. The things were
quickly removed. Hatzfeldt sat
down and played few bars in
rather hating fashion. After
moment List said: "No, no; it is
not quite that" Hatzfeldt got up.
List seated himself at the piano,
played two or three bits of songs or
waltzes, then, always talking to
Hatzfeldt, let his fingers wander
over the keys and by degrees broke
into nocturne and wild Hun
garian march. 1t was very curious.
His fingers looked as if they were
made Of yellow ivory, SO thin and
long, and of course there wasn't
any strength or execution in his
playing-it was the touch Of an old
man, but a master-quite unlike
anything l have ever heard. When
he got up he said, ooh, well, l didn't
think the old fingers had any music
left in them" Mime. Washington

Sacks Which Grow on Trees.

From a species of antiarus (the
genus which includes the upas tree)
sacks are made in western India by
the following singular process: A
branch is cut corresponding to the
length and diameter Of the sack
wanted. 1t is soaked a little and
then beaten with clubs till the fiber
separates from the wood. This
done, the sack formed of the bark
is turned inside out and pulled
down, and then the wood is sawed
off, with the exception of small
piece left to form the bottom of
the sack.
