Then the money is to be thrown
onto the tracks at once. The train
must go on, giving my men time to
escape, or we will not keep our
bargain"
Secret Agent J-321 entered the
case at this juncture. With Capt.
Jimmie Jones of police headquar-
tiers, he boarded the 4 o'clock train.
They rode to the end of the line
without receiving a signal.
If they had received the signal,
they would have taken no immedi-
ate action. But at the next stop
they would have ordered a posse
to surround the vicinity.
They returned to New York to
find another letter from the mys-
ferrous terrorists:
You are at our mercy. We have
put an internal machine aboard
one of your ships; we won't say
which one. Maybe it is the Aqui-
tania. Maybe not. Unless we get
the money before the ship sails it
will blow up in midocean. Every
life will be lost.
WE must have $4,000 in
w cash tonight. Put a man
aboard the 'Buffalonian,' leaving
Weehawken at 8 p. m. He must
stand on rear platform with the
money in a package.
when he hears three blasts
of a police whistle, he is to throw
the money to the tracks, and
then Immediately go inside. If
the train stops, we will consider
it a breach of faith and you
never will hear from us-or your
ship-again, so help us God.
Yours sincerely, Jersey"
The letter bore a postscript:
IF you accept our terms send
a man to City Hall Park at $50
p. m. today. Have him stand by
the Nathan Hale statue, with his
right hand against it, for three
minutes. 4. st
Then have him raise his hat
with his left hand and leave the
park as quickly as possible with

liminary be carried out precisely

The threats were kept from the
public, but an air of extreme ten
sion perYaded the liner.
Word was sent to a dozen police
officers and secret agents to gath
er at the railroad terminal. Shot
guns and rifles were obtained for
them to carry.
Police and railroad detectives all
along the line were instructed to
lie in ambush for two hours be-
fore the Buffalonian was due.
But the entire right-of way was
too long to be observed completely.
Meantime J-321 was present in
City Hall park as a detective,
somewhat self conscious, and gave
the signals at the Nathan Hale
statue. Dressed as a park lounger,
J-321 scrutinized every one near
by. But he recognized no one.
The signal could have been seen,
OF course, from street corners two
blocks away, or from hundreds of
Office building windows.
We'll have to trap him when
he takes the money" the agent
told his aids at the terminal.
Here's how We'll do it. "
The Buffalonian, crack train of
the line, usually cut through the
IoWlands at about sixty miles an
hour, and, because of its weight.
could not safely be brought to a
halt within a quarter of a mile
J-321 believed Jersey" had con-
sldered this in planning his get
away.
ME railroad was glad to CO.
4 operate, but it didn't want it's
crack train to be late.
80 1t was that the diSpatcher's
telegraph key clicked out the fol-
lowing message that evening: mo.
Il, the Buffalonian, will run in
two sections tonight. Warn all en-
ployes to guard against sabotage"
Inc veteran engineer who usu-
ally took out the Buffalonian con-
terred with J-321 before the train
was due to start. AS the secret
agent explained his plan, the en-
glneer smiled broadly.
"ThatIl get EN-" he said.
Leave it to me. No. 81 never has
been late yeti"
On the observation platform of
the train leaving Weehawken at 8
p. m. on June Il was the usual
bronze placard, THE Buffalonian."
Whitehead stewards were visible
in the dining car sand lounge as
usual, and only one extremely
familiar with the railroad would
have noticed anything peculiar
about the train.
On the observation platform
stood man with a package under
his left arm. His right hand was
IN his coat pocket; he alone knew
that he was clutching a revolver.
But in the car near him were
nearly two dozen secret agents,
detectives and railroad police.

MADE TO ORDER
FOR OPERATION
Glass Lens Removed From
Girls Throat With
lmproviSed Tool.

Joaquin Miller, author-poet, al
ways said, When I want to read
a book, I write one" and surgeons
at James Whitcomb Riley hospital,
taking his philosophy to heart in
their own profession, make instru-
ments with which to operate when
necessary.
This ingenuity Sunday resulted
in a report today from the hos
pital that Dorothy Branning, 10,
TT. Wayne, is sitting up and doing
fine" A f1ashlight lens was eX-
tracted from her throat Sunday
with an instrument that was de-
vised hastily in the hospitals power
house.
Today, DR.. E. T. Thompson. ad-
ministrator of the hospital, said
the instrumental steel tool with a
cup-shaped flare and hook at the
end-would be sent to a local in
strument firm for refinements in
its pattern. 1t then will be used
as a model for new tool with
which to remove foreign articles
from the body.
Lens Lodged in Throat
The child, the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Branning, swal-
lowed the glass lens last Wednes-
day. The lens, approximately one
and One-fourth inches in diameter
and one-fourth inch thick, lodged
in her throat and she was unable
to eat solid food
FIT. Wayne surgeons, unable to
dislodge the lens, brought the child
to the hospital Saturday.
Forceps were used unsuccessfully.
Efforts to push the lens down the
esophaguS for normal passage,
failed.
Then Sunday, with the aid of the
hospital engineer, the surgeons
manufactured the special instru-
ment and performed the unusual
operation.
Removed From Mouth
Dorothy was placed under a gen
eral anesthesia and the cupped hook
caught the lens from the bottom
and removed it from the mouth.
1t is the first case on record at
the hospital of the removal of an
object by this method.
A Philadelphia authority on
bronchoscopy reported one case of a
swallowed lens at his clinic, but, in
this instance, the article was pushed
into the stomach and passed out nor
mally.
An operation would have been
necessary had the new instrument
not proved successful.

A THOUGH the train had
"a fewer cars than the "Buf-
falonian" usually had, the veteran
at the throttle kept the speed to
less than thirty miles an hour.
For the first few miles it would be
approximately on schedule; after
that he might have to speed up.
But it was light" carrying no
baggage, and was easy to maneu-
yer.
For several miles nothing hap
pened.
At Ridgef1eld Park, six miles
out, the train would enter the first
wooded country. There, J-321
figured, something might happen.
So, after the third mile had
been passed the police crouched
ready for action. The train swung
around a curve near West View.
Suddenly the lone man on the
observation car platform thought
he heard shrill whistle. Was he
mistaken? He had been imaging
sounds like that for an hour. The
whistle shrilled again-it was the
signal!
J-321 hurled the money pack
age to the roadbed, and with the
same motion jerked an extension
Of the emergency airbrake cord.
Brakes screamed, steam shrieked.
the locomotive whistle blared q
warning.
THE train slowed instantly
Il with drop in momentum
that threw half the police to the
floor. AS they arose, ready to
leap to the roadbed, man ran
across the tracks and grabbed the
package.
But before the train was fully
stopped, J-321 and a dozen other
men were upon him. He stumbled
over railroad tie. AS he regained
his feet he was surrounded by a
circle of revolvers and shotguns.
Il give up" he gasped. you
Win!"
All this had taken only a
few seconds. The police train
gathered speed and vanished.
Another train was approaching.
The prisoner stared at it with
eyes wide.
Why" he said, that's the Buff
falonian' coming now!"
J-321 laughed.
Right you are" he said. "You
fell for a decoy."
The "Buffalonian" roared past,
its passengers unaware of the
drama that had been enacted. It
reached Buffalo on time to the
minute.
And Henry Joseph Burton went
meekly with his captors. The
Aquitania sailed few hours later,
safe from disaster at sea.
