Cloud in Youth's Companion A FOILED ROBBERY. I was telegraph operator at Essex, ?u tho Ii. and S. railroad, on tb o eight of the fourteenth of Decem ber, 1888. There had just been an unusually heavy snowstorm in the mountains about 200 miles west of Essex, making a virtual blockade of ?io road. No wesburn freight or paasongor train bad been throngb foi 13 hours, and freights from the east had been held nt principal points to prevent blocking the sid ings at Tray stations and so hinder restoring regular traffic.) when the snow blockade should be broken. Tho R. and S. was n single track road through this part of the state. The storm had reached us, but not moro than three inches of snow had fallen around Essex. It was still snowing lightly at 1 o'clock in the morning when the thrilling inci dents of that night commenced. I was alone in the st atipn and .had been so for some boors. The usual loiterers of the village had left early j because of the storm. At half past 12 thu night mail train drew un, I banded tho telegraphic orders, as usual, to the engineer and conductor copy to each-and, as the rule fas, they read them aloud to me. I ?Tell remember Conductor Wilson's j tone of surprised interest as he read: "Proceed to Winslow and await lerdera." Winslow waa 48 miles up the road. Usually tho mail train passed from four to eight freights in that ron, Ed thc orders always spooified tho riding where train numbered so and-so WUR to be met Wilson knew of the blockade in toe mountains, so he expressed no ?stoniahment at his orders, but sim ply eaid, "Unusually clear sailing for ua tonight, Brinton, isn't itt" "Perhaps you won't find it so lear sailing after you reach Carl Ifon," I' hurriedly answered as I ran to tho mail car, threw in the mail and picked up the bag which heen tossed from the train to [Ow platform.. AB I returned .to tho office th' e en 'aa bell sounded and the train pull out. I immediately, as was my >ty, telegraphed to Jones Siding, ie next office, ten miles above, y-two left west at 12:31." was the first siding above ?ex, and the only buildings thero Wre tm uncovered platform and a ^?al tower. Tho whole distance Essox to Carlton was ? wild, irsely inhabited country, hilly, .di denso woods. There wore two operators station there -one for tho day and the lier fur tho night. Their names [ere Jim Evan3 and Ned Aldrich, tey lived in the signal tower, do >g their own cooking and getting teir supplies by the trains, but "!Qg telegraph operators they reru les3 lonely than any other Mug men in their isolated position "toulu he, for they were kept posted "the news of the country and the 5?fsip of the line. was well acquainted with tho fcka of both of thom. For, strange " niay seem to most people, each orator has some poculiarity in ' Tilling his telegraph instrument 4 reveals his identity to another jerntor at all familiar with his -sages, or ot least to'ono who is ^turned to read hy sound and is JJ* to notico little things. These ^'viclualities aro as marked to an )?rt as the tones ot tho voice or sound of footfalls are to. most Jim Evans was' at tho in tent at Jones Si dins when I HBttiill - : ... eent the message abolit the mau train. I could have sworn to it, for I recognized his click in response to my signal. The mail was due at Jones Siding at about 1 o'clock. It made only about 20 miles an hour. It could be seen approaching tho tower for sev eral minutes before it passed. It was tho duty of the operator there to inform me of tho arrivul of each train, in order that I might know whether the track was clear befoio letting the next trniu west pass Es sex. As l o'clock arrived and 1 had heard nothing about tho mail from Jones, and bad heard from tho sta tion below that the paymaster's car would soon be duo at Essex, I called np Jones Siding and asked, "Where .is tho mail?" | "It is just approaching the tower. Will be by in a minute," came the answer, natural enough in substance, but alarming in that it was in nei ther Jim Evans' nor Ned Aldrich's sending. I was just on the point of asking, "Who are youl" but restrained my hand a moment, when word came again from there, "She hos just gone by." This was the same oper ator. Tl o thought flashed through my mind: "I know that click. Whero does it belong? And what is that operatoi doing at Jones?" After a deal of con juting with my wits I remembered that the last messages from Jones Siding were in the unmistakable style of the night operator at Martinsville, an out of the way station in tho midst of the mountains in tho blockaded section of the road. I admit I felt queer. I began to imagine all sorts of things-that tho wires were playing mo false, or that there was rascality going on at Jones Siding. 'I must stoi> it." I said to myself, "or lind out tho culprit. But first I must rind what tho scheme is." I culled up Jones Siding and asked, "How is the weather up there?" "Snowing," cunio tho reply. "Where is Chester's car?" waa add ed significantly. Chester was the paymaster. With that inquiry it dawned upon mo what tho plan was. It was to wreck and rob the paymaster's car. It was well known to all on the line that the paymaster was due at Carlton on the morning of the 15th of each month, to start west over the next section to pay tho hands. It was also well known that Chester made the run from tho central office to Carlton the night before the 15th in his handsomely equipped private car. The paymaster's cor was duo ut my station in about ten minutes. My plan of action was quickly foi med. I set the red signal to hold the car, though the track ahead was clear. I then grounded my instrument, breaking connections to the west and called up the main office. I could thus make inquiries of the central office without my messages being heard at Jones Siding. Ordi narily, of course, a message sent over a line is heard at ail stations. Every instrument, connected with the line clicks out the same words, ' "Where is the night operator re cently stationed at Martinsville?" 3 was now able to ask the main office. "I don't know. Why?" was click ed in return. "1 think he is up to mischief. Hunt up his recent record, quick. Particulars later," I feverishly an swered. ; "O. K," came back. Then there was a wait Iimpa tiently looked at my watch. Fiv< minutes went by, then sc vea, thei nine minutes. I was listening in tently for the whistle of the pay master's car. At the same momen came my call on the wire and th< shrill whistle i was expecting. 'Thi was the message I rapidly jottet down on my pad as the paymaster'i oar came rattling up the line anc stopped before the station: "Jame Houston appointed night operato; at Martinsville Nov. 6. Recoin mended by commercial college. Dis charged for neglect Dec. 10." I roturned the usual "O. K.," re stored connect ions with the wea and started for . the. .platform to se the engineer of Mr. Cheater's cai when I was recalled to my ins tra ment by the most emphatic signal from Jones Siding. "Where in thunder have ycu bee: for the last ten minutest" was th impudent message. "Noneof your business, " I replie as impudently as he. ."Has Chester got along yet8 Jones Siding then asked ma j "Yes, he is hore taking water on orders." "What orders?" "I will lot you know in time." I then broke connections wit Jones and wont out on tho platforn "Hello," Brinton ! What's the ma ter ahead?" greeted the engineer. "Thero's Borne fine work aheai I imagine," I said. "I must wal Mr. Chester up and tell him aboi it" "You'd hotter bo sure it is sorioi before you disturb him. He wan his full night's sleep," the engine cautioned. "I'll risk its seriousness," I a swered as I mounted tho roar stop Tho rear door was locked, bul rattled and thumped it until I hi tho threo occupants-Mr. Chest and his two assistants-out of thc berths with-revolvcrs in baud. I soon reassured them, and th? let the engineer and mo into tho ci I rapidly told my suspicions ai how they were supported. M Chester sjrrecd with me that t t' .. . '>#.'. ;: ..: . .*"*?* mottor was suspicious auu mat inure might bo daugor ahead. VariouH plans of circumventing the robber or robbers wore discussed -that of sending u message by a roundabout circuit to Winslow, whither tho mail train was going, aud getting it to return to Jones Siding with some armed men, and holdiug tho pay car, so that they both should arrive at the same time. But that required too much delay. It was again suggested that tho paymaster go no farther before daylight, but that would only allow the rascals to escape and to plan some more diabolical scheme of robbery. Besides, the fate of the two faithful operators at Jones hung in the bulance. They might be bound and gagged, and we should hasten to relieve them, or they might be murdered, and we should strive to entrap their murderers. We all were convinced that there was a gang of robbers. No one man would attempt to hold up the pay master's car. It was finally decided to go ahead with the car, approach the Siding very cautiously and show fight if molested. I was asked to go, as 1 had a revolver and had al ready a prominent part in the affair. "Hadn't you better leave your money here," I said to Mr. Chester, "so that if we should be beaten they will fail to get their booty?" "Oh, no," Mr. Chester promptly decided. "If it should be lost here, that would put- you in a pretty bad hole. And, then, we are acting only on suspicion, rather slimly founded. Suppose it should prove a false alarm and 1 had to return for tho money. My delay would be so great that the truo story would be sure to como out, and uoue of us would hear tho last of it. No, wo can go ahead, and if wo hud it too hot for us wo eau retreat ! upidly down tho track." Go ahead it was, thou. I was ready. 1 wired to tho main office: "An attack on paymaster's cartear ed at Jones Siding. Will close office and go with Mr. Chester. Leavo 1:20." I thcu established connection and called Jones, wiring these words: "Siight delay to engine of paymas ter's ear. O. LT. now. Leave 1:20; due Siding about 1:40." "O. K. " came hack promptly. I jumped aboard the engine end of the combination car, and we started at good speed. Tho lights were soon put out in the body of the car. When ubout two miles from the sig nal tower, we slowed down to about six milos an hour. We soon saw the red signul at the tower, but a white light at the switch half a milo be low, "Look out for tho switch," I said to the engineer. We came to a stand at thoswitoh, and the fireman dismounted. But, to our surprise, everything waa straight. We advanced cautiously, when the red signal was suddenly changed to white. "Blow your whistle, " said I to the engineer, "and make a momentary spurt, as if to run past." He did so, when the signal was again changed to red. The engineer reduced speed to a walking gait We crept up to the tower without meeting any obstruction and came to a bait directly in fx ont of it "Every man romain on the car at the peril of his life ("came a star tling shout from the dark doorway of the lower story ot the tower, "and throw out all the money, oi I'll blow you, car and all, to piecea There are dynamite cartridges or. the track for 100 yards before, be hind and under you, and I can set them all off with a touch of my fin ger." There was only one voice heard and no form visible. How manj there were in the towor none of ui knew. "Stick to your posts, " I whisperer to the engineer and fireman, "and I will get down on this side and sei what I can do." The side I meant was farthes from the tower. Quite a deep ditel ran along the track here, and jus ahead a little bridge spanned a smol stream. As I spoke I stepped off thoeagim behind the fireman and quickly made my way under the bridge ti the tower side of the track. I thei cautiously ascended the risin| ground, the snow acting us a cai pet, and in little more than a mix ute I was peering through a windot in tho tower directly opposite th door. I saw the forms of two men din ly outlined against the snow, one i a sitting position, with his rigl hand extended as if grasping a hoi die. I understood what ho was doing The electric current used in tel< graphing is not suited to exploil j blasting cartridges. Tho instrumci used for that purpose is a small bo; by moans of which, by n few rapi turns of a crank, a powerful spar is produced and transmitted I wires to tho blasting charges. Tl sitting man in tho tower guarde the machino that could instant] blow the car to atoms. With my revolver I took stead aim at his right arm, but before pulled the trigger tho same voil called out to the people in the ca "Now, no trickery, or you will 1 instantly blown up. My man wi get that satchel and inspect its co tents while I keep guard over tl bat tory here." Tho standing man went out tl door and moved from my lino vision. Instantly I fired nt tho s: ting man's arm, and a tremendo yell showed that my aim had bei good. The other man rushed ba to the tower, when I called, "Hu up your hands, or you aro a ?eaa man!" At the same instant there was a slight'disturbance in the upper roora that I did not understand, and this was followed by the rapid move ment of the ear up the track. Mr. Chester and hist wu assistants anjpeared at this moment at the door, but I could not recognize them. I tirst thou?, ht 1 had raised a hornets' nest, bu. with drawn re volvers they demanded the surren der of tho two cowed men and dis armed them before 1 had dono any moro shouting. After finding a ropo wo bound the rascals and proceeded to make an investigation. Firtt, the battery was disconnected, and one of the clerks collected tho dynamite car tridges from the truck and put them in a safe place. Ned Aldrich and Jim Evans were found in the upper room, bound and gagged, but uninjured. Their story may be briefly told. A wagon had driven up to the tower about midnight Two men entered the room, talked pleasantly for a few minutes und then, draw ing revolvers, made tho operators surrender and bound and gagged them. When the puy cur was ap proaching, Ned and Jim guessed what was intended, and Jim suc ceeded in turning the signal bar with his feet, displaying tho white light as we approached, hoping we should run by. Ono robber run up and turned the signal back. After my shot, the effect of which Ned dimly saw by way of tho stairs, the signal was again changed, and the car moved out of danger. Chester and his clerks jumped from tho car as it moved, fearing to bo blown to pieces, not knowing what I had done, but they quickly took courage of their desperate sit uation to cover the robbers with their revolvers. Tho robbers in duo course were sentenced to ten years' imprison ment. Thu mau whose arm I bad shot turned out to bo the discharged Martinsville operator. He lost his arm from tho wound. After things quieted down I tele graphed from Jones Siding an ac count of tho attempted robbery to the central office and returned be fore morning to Essex by a passing train Mr. Chester was profuse in his thanks to me and must have made much of my part in the night's events in his reports to headquar ters, for at midnight on Christmas eve my instrument clicked out this message in the unmistakable send ing of the central office operator: "For bravery and skill in saving paymaster's car you aro appointed assistant electrician; salary, $1,800. Report at main office Jan. 2. By order of tho president. M. "-Charles W. Newbold in Youth's Companion. Ho Won tho Order. Many stories of the king of Greece aro told. One of these is to the effect that on a dark winter night in 1882 his majesty was walking ulong one of the quays surrounding the Pi ncus, when he was heard by a sol dier on guard. "Who goes there?" The king hesitated, being unwilling to reveal his identity, and turning abruptly he walked rapidly away. Thc soldier fired, slightly grazing his sovereign's shoulder. Tho next day the sentry was greatly surprised to receive an invitation to the pal ace. Complimenting him on his ex cellent aim and attention to duty, the king with his own hand pinned on the astonished soldier's coat the Order of the Redemptor.-Pearson's Weekly. Sunday Trading Ia the Peet. It may safely be asserted that from the time of the Conqnoror (10G6 1087) Sunday trading received much attention. In early ages mar keta and fairs were beldon Sundays, and frequently in the churchyards. In 1305 the inhabitants of Cocker mouth presented a petition to par liament, as their market was fast deolining through tho inhabitants of Crosthwaite dealing in corn, flour, beans, flesh, fish, ut their church on Sundays, and that thereby they wero unable to pay their tolls to the king (Edward I). An order was is sued for closing the church market at Crosthwaite. At Bradford, Yorkshire, during the same reign, tho markot. was hold on a Sunday.doubtless in tho church yard. Thetollyioldod ?3 per annum. In 1285 a8tatutowas passed enact ing that henceforth neither fairs nor markets bo hold in churchyards, for the honor of tho church. In 1312 a market was granted to tho town of Sedgefield, Durham, to bo held on a Friday, but was soon changed to Sunday. In 1307 tho archbishops of Canter bury and York delivered charges di recting, among other things, that "wo firmly forbid anjT one to kee]) a market in tho churches, tho porch es and tho cemeteries thereunto be longing or other holy places on tho Lord's doy or other holy festivals.'' -Notes and Queries.

AT STQRKVILLE CENTER. ' Colonel Calliper's Account of a riant For Protection From Mosquitoes. "Tho only plant ni* thu kimi I ever knew of," Haili Colonel Calliper, "was one that was ?ct up nome years ago in Storkville Center, Vt. There was a swat.ip about two or three miles north of the town that bred mosquitoes at least as large ns any that over wore, ami in summer when the wind was ri^bt they would comedown on us* in swaiins, ami they certainly did give us a good deal of trouble. When the wind was blowing the other way and blowing strong, they never used to bother us ut all, und this suggested the :dea of putting iq? a plant to I keep a wind blowing in that direo 1 tion all the time, and such a pluut was finally set up There was some ! opposition to it at first-a good deal, ' in fact-but when it was finally in 1 1 operation it worked so perfectly that the sentiment in favor of it be came practically unanimous. "Between the town and the swamp and pretty well up toward the swamp we set up a long line of poles right across the country, extending on either sido out bey oud the line of the town, and on theee poles there 1 was carried, at a height of about 12 feet from the ground, a perforated pipe with the perforations toward the swamp, and that's all there was , to it but the power, and one steam j engine nt the center of the line sup I plied that, furnishing compressed air which was forced into the dis i tributing pipe at various places along the line and out through all ; the perforations in front. It was ? like a long sprinkler, except that it didn't sprinkle. It supplied air, and j all these jets of air, expanding, unit ? ed at a little distance in front of tho i perforations, and, still expanding, I but yet retaining ampin strength, ? they made a continuous and siifli ciently vigorous blast reaching from I the ground to a height higher than j mosquitoes fly-a wall of wind against which mosquitoes could make no headway. One man could operate this whole plant easily. "Of course, we made some mis takes at tirst, including one that might have been expected in the in terest of economy. In those days we never used to light eur street lamps on moonlight nights-that is, on nights that were moonlight ac cording to tho calendar. They might be the cloudiest, blackest nights that ever were, but if it was moon light officially we didn't light up. We made a similar mistake ut first in operating the wind plant. When the wind was in the right quarter to blow the mosquitoes away and there was plenty of it, we used to save fuel and let the wind plant lie idle, but after tho wind had changed once or twice in the night we gave up the economy ideu and ran the plant regularly every night without regal d to the weather from tho be ginning to the end of the season. I think our season there was a little shorter than it is about here. Wo used to start the wind plant June 1 and shut down Sept. 30. "But the greatest difficulty we ever had over the plant was when a town just to tho south of us sued us on account of it, claiming large damages from the operation of it, and getting out a temporary injunc tion restraining us from the use of it During that period of suspension we suffered from the mosquitoes, as we had done before the inaugura tion of the plant, these sufferings being magnified in our minds no doubt by the freedom from them which we had for some time en joyed. "This town that sued us claimed that they had got all our mosqui toes. They said that of the original current of mosquitoes from the swamp the part that under ordinary circumstances would have come to Storkvillo Center and staid there had not been permanently held back by our wind plant, but only deflect ed around its wings, and that tho mosquitoes thus deflected had re united below Storkville Center and gone on to them, and that so they got their own and ours, too, and they asked for a permanent injunc tion and damages. "8torkville Center won, but for all that the wind plant finally fell into disuse. I don't know just how this came about. I suppose they didn't keep it in order, and it didLi't work so perfectly, and then there were new people corning up all the time and more or less opposition from them, and the tithers didn't take so much interest in it as they did ut first, and finally they stopped using it altogether, and the whole plant went to decay. I was out that way toward the swamp the last time I was in Storkville Conter, and there wasn't so much as a single post ol' it left"-New York Sun. Tho First ?Juarrrl.
