li Between the stories of Conductor Tom Pope and Sandy McTougal, backed by Sandy McTougal's friends, one gets a pretty good idea of Sandy's remarkable adventure with a voice*or, as Sandy terms it, u-iththedev1l4nabox. Tom Pope is conductor and Mc Tougal is baggage master on tho Air line, which runs from the At lantic ocean td "the middle of next week." 1 "Most astonishing thing, that hunt of Sandy's for a voice," said thc conductor ?ho other night. '.What was that?" "Well, it was thisr Sandy was loiielv and miserable. Nobody talk ed to him or gave him a quarter for not smashing the baggage, so ho took to brown studies and naps be tween stations. Tho night of his voice business his car was jomful of luggage. The more trunks Sandy bas on board the crosser he gets. There was a camp meeting on a switch off track, and at the junction I picked up a lot of nobby passen gers who were leaving for other places of amusement, and th?re was 110 end of trunks. "McTougal got th:'r*gs into shape about ll o'clock, I reckon, and as there's a part of the run where it's a good hour between stations he rot ready for a snooze. He picked out thc softest trunk in the pile on which to pillow his head, tilted back his chair with his feet on the rounds, pulled his hat over his face and went to sleep. How's, that, Mac?" "Quite keerect," responds the baggage master. "Very well; then you tell it for awhile. I wasn't there, you know." "It didn't seem's if I'd been asleep more'n a minute," began Sandy, "when there was a lively jump of the car, an' I sort of come to life with a jerk. At the same time I liecrd, as if 'way off, a noise like some one a-t&km'. But I thought 'twas a brakeman outside an' was jes' a-dozin' off ag*in when right at my ear in a thin, sharp voice suthin'said,'O Lord!' "I ain't no fool, I ain't," Sandy asserts, throwing back his head de fiantly, "an' when that tin whisper comes into my ear I jes' openad my eyes, spectin' to see some of the boys around. But not a livin' thing was visible. So I said to myself, 'I snored; that's what's the matter/ An* off I goes a-noddin' an' dream in'. "Then ag*in I hears that voice. It says quite distinctly, 1 want to get out !' "Now, I wasn't a bit mistaken this time. I heerd it. But 'fore I could get my wits together there was a yell soundin' 'way off. "'That's my death call,' says I to myself, instantly callin' to mind 'fellows who had heerd like sounds an* were dead in less'n a week. Then I says to myself, 'Sandy, don't be a fool 1' an' jumps to my feet as wide awake as 1 am now. "It was a woman's squawk, an' I could hav* sworn to.it, 'Then it sung out in tin trumpet style: "'Eelp,?elpl* "I hauled over the tool chest an' the water barrel an' the cupboard in the corner an' looked out on the platforms an' did everything a man could do under the circumstances to find out what was a-makin' of that fuss. I went to the sido door to -?ool myself an* was a-fannin* my face when, blame me, if I didn't hear a cornet start off with the Hogues' March' ^.n' a gruff voice foller it with: " 'In the midst of life we are in death.' "? yanked my head round an' didn't see mithin' jth?t wasn't there before. That threw me off my pins. Then a roor.ter crowed, an' a feller with a cold in his nose counted ten forward an' then backward, an an other cuss with a bullfrog voice or dered me: 'Wake npl 'The dev{1 wants you!' Yon needn't laugh, gentlemen, when I tell you I run, an' so'd you if you'd beenV thar. I was certain the devil had come for me, late, but sure, an' I didn't wait for him to ask for my ticket." Tom Pope at this point broke into a stentorian laugh. "If, gentlemen, you'd seen San^y come flying into the car where I was sitting, you would never stop laughing. You may not believe it, but his brown faco was as white as your shirt fronts, and his eves were as big as billiard balls. He dashed down the aisle and whispered in my ear: "'Tom, Tom, come with mel' "'What's the matter, Macr* I ' said, mat ails youf "Tom, the devil's in my car. ! He's been a-cuttin' np for an hour, ! AD.' I'm most crazy. If you're my : friend, como with mel' "He wasn't drnnh because he doesn't drink. It wasn't religious enthusiasm, because Sandy had no religion. I almost behaved ho jneant what he Baid and that he had been called for. I got up in a hur ry and followed him. 'I hadn't more than got inside the baggage car when from among tho trunks something sung ouV abut that door and pull down your vest!' . "Sandy wanted to fight then," continued Tom. "He danced around that car like a prizefighter in the f^g until tho voice cried out quite loud^JDainnationl' ' ?rlgln and Evolution of This Popular hi English Puppet Show. The drama of ?T?nch and Judy"' h is supposed to have originated in d< Ltaty about 1G00. It soon spread md became very popular in En?;- m] Land, especially in the reign of h Queen Anne, 1702-14.. The abuso k of performing in churches had led to the practice of performing plays fi in inn yards, on scaffolds upon a tl green adjoining a town or village, r? sometimes in public halls of bor oughs and cities and sometimes in ? tho dwellings of the nobility. This v, drama, as originally performed, was (, very lengthy as compared with tho present and had never any pro,- ?, gramme or bill of fare, but largely t worked in passing events. . About 1813, however, a play was cast, of which the following is an r outline of the plot: Mr. Punch.is ? a gentleman of very courtly pres ence and tnarrics a lady of the 1 name of Mrs. Judy. This is tho* A. distinguishing title of maiden la-* \ dies not ennobled, a title which Mrs. Judy retains in wedlock also. Tho 8 issue of the marriage is a beauti- j. ful child, a little girl, whom Mr. , Punch kills in a fit of frenzy, but as the deed is accomplished Mrs. Judy enters, but leaves thc sceno to return with a bludgeon, with which 6hc belabors her lord and master. Tho tables are soon turned, how ever, and the dead infant and tho dying mother arc shot out through thc window into the street. Tho house being entered, Punch escapes on horseback to Spain. The play ends in a satire, idleness being rep resented by a black dog, disease by a doctor, death by a skeleton and thc devil first by a beautiful woman, then ir. propria persona, dragging Punch to the infernal regions. But the attempt fails, and Punch tri umphs over doctor, death and tho devil. The drama was entitled "Punch and Judy," which appellation the puppet performanco still retains. In 1710 there was no dog in tho play, but a pig, so well trained that it danced a minuet with Mr. Punch. An Extravagant Compliment. A young woman from tho north had a class of dusky pupils whom she instructed in reading and writ ing three times a week. They ^dmircd her, and one even ing a member of the class undertook to inform her of the sentiments of her pupils."
