In which the Joi'us n. has a larger circulation than all ether county papers combined. Advertisers tcilivlc asc make a note of thi The Mystified Messenger. There are comparatively few per sons w ho knew that George Gleason, the favoiito express messenger of the 1\ C. and St. L, lload, was a somnabulist. His strange freaks performed dining a souinabulistic trance were known to a small circle ot friends and associates, who men- j tioned them not when our hero was appoiuted to the position he was des tined to fill with honor. For two years he ran his car with out incident, no train robbers at tacked it, and he became the favcr- ; ite messenger of the road. Strange to say, that during the time, while he dcz.-d often in his car, he did not once fall into the souinabulistic state, ami he was congtatulatin himself that the singular trances had left him altogether, when ic-; curred the incident I am about to ! relate. llis downward run on the night express extented from Coshocton to Springfield, a uistauce of one hun dred and eighty miles. There were few stations of importance on the route, and the train made but three halts between the two cities. The officers of the road were, at the date cf our story, and still are careful men of busiuess, jealous of their patrons' interests, and gentlemen of integrity. "When robbers became common on other roads, the messengers of the P. C. and St. L., were sure Lo re ceive orders commanding extra pre caution, and it was to the obedience of these orders that much of the popularity of the road was attribut ed. "Hello !'■ exclaimed Messenger Gleason one evening while looking over the columns of the Clevelaud Herald. '"The express car of the C. C. and I. O. robbed of 830,000! That's a good haul. Why dou't the car thieves try my 'car ? Here I've been on the road for two years, an never for a moment has the safety of a dollar in my safes been jeopar dized." He considered himself one of the luckiest messengers in the country, ar.d with the paper in his hand, stepped into the express car, which a moment later moved out of Co hoctou. It was a beautiful Autumn eve- Ding, and the messenger sat at the open side door, enjoying a cigar, un til the sun went down and darkness fell over the earth. Then he shut the door, lighted the lamps, and saw that everything was safe. lie knew the value of the con tents of the company's safes, and he thought what a haul thieves would make if they would successfully burglarize his car on the present trip. But he felt secure, for lie dropped into his own chair and fell asleep. The train had a run of forty-nine miles, before the messenger would again be called to service, and he thought of this perhaps when he settled into the chair, revolved upon a doze. , | By-and-by he rose, and his eye lids parted. He walked directly to the safe 3 which stood side by side, and opening the combination locks threw wide the burglar-proof doors. Then he took forth valuable pack age after pack ige until he had emp tied the strongholds of their trea sures. It is safe to say that Mes senger Gleason deprived the safes of money and other valuables to the aggregate of seventy thousand dol lars. After doing this he closed the d>ors, and with the pack ages, walked out of the car to the tender. It was filial with coal, black and grim, and the heavy smoke of the engine, the toy of the smart breeze blowing, beat against his face- But he did not seem to heed it, for he climbed upon the tender with one haud and deliberately secreted the packages am )ng the coal in Joue corner. Having accomplished bis singular task, he returned to the express car, washed his ;hands, which had been begrimed by the lumps of coal, and retired to his chair, where his eyes closed and he breathed like a sleeping man. George Gleason had robbed the safes in a state of somnabuiism, and t'leir iron doors guarded the mes senger's books and a few old papers of little value. lie slept for half an hour longer, when he awoke ami rubbed his eyes. llis first action thereafter, was to consult his watch. "We're approaching Grafton," he said to himself, and drew another cigar from his pocket for a quiet smoke. A minute later the fragrance of a prime, /for dd fumar filled the car, and the messenger was half envelop ed in smoke. Grafton was yet nineteen miles away. All at once Gleason heard his name pronounced, and turned quick ly in his chair. lie sprang to his feet the moment afterwards, and as the half-consum td cigar fell to the tloor, his hand flew to the pocket that held the re volver. For there stood before him two men whose dark masks hung far be - low their chins. "Don't draw, Mr. Gleason," said one of the strangers, and the mes senger saw a revolver covering his head. "We don't want to be so un gentletnanly as to slay you here. The road can't spare you, indeed it can't!" Gleason's hand shrunk away from the pock*, tit had touched, and he looked at the m n for a moment in silence. "What do you want ?" he asked. "What most men earnestly de sire— money !" "I have none." "But the safes have." "Then open theui if you can," said the messenger wiMi a smile. "With your assistance we will," answered one of the masked men. who until that moment, had not spoken. "Mr. Gleason, we didn't come here to parley, and, as we m an business, we will proceed to it at once. You have the keys, and will oblige us by producing them." The young messenger looked twice in the eyes of the men, and once Into the muzzle of the revolver, before he displayed the keys. "Ilere they are," he said, extend ing them. "No, no, Gleason," was the re sponse, and the twinkle of the dark eyes told our messenger that the face beneath the mask was smiling. "It's a combination lock, you see, and we happen to be ignorant of the cabalistic word your seasame Open the doors for us if )*ou please." Gleason saw that pleading would avail him naught. There was stern determination in the robber's tone ; death in the depths of the black eyes. He had often read of such burglaries ; how cashiers weae made to open the safes of their own banks and throw thousands at the feet of the robbers. lie had never dreamed that such an event would happen in express car No. ofi much less t'.at he would be compelled to assist in robbing the patronizing pablic. But he was at the rnetcy of the villains, and his life was in startling eopardy. He came forward with paleface, and stooped before the safes, "Be lively about it," said one of the men. "You know the locks like a book, and we kuow how to treat a man who obeys our orders with alacrity. We give you two minutes grace in which to work. If at the end of that time the doors do not swing open, the P. C. and St. L. will lose her best messenger!" The imperiled man did not reply, but fell to work on the locks. The combination was quite intricate, but Gleasan was familiar therewith, and in less than a minutes' time he opened the first door. "Now for the packages," said one of the men. The messenger put forth his hand, unlocked an inner door, and started back aghast. The money pocket of the safe was empty. "What's up, Gleason ?" exclaim ed a mask, looking at the messeng er with astonishment. Gleason pointed to the empty re ceptacle, almost too amazed to speak and the robbers exchanged strange glances. "Opon the other safe!" com manded one. The messenger obeyed. It, too was moneyless. "George Gleason, we want no trifling. You know where the mon ey is !" "How should I know ?" cried the messenger, mystified more than the robbers. "Did I know that you were coming, and secrete the mat ter ? If so, who betrayed you ? Here are my books, look at them for yourself. I swear to you that there was seventy thousand dollars worth of express matter in the safes when we left Coshocton. I haven't left the car for one moment, though I have dozed, but like the cat, a footsep, however soft, will rouse me. You ask me where the money is, I throw the question back at you. Upon pain of death I could not tell you !" He ceased, and tlie foremost rob ber said : "This heals me. I believe you, George Gleason. Somebody has robbed the safes before we struck. They did it while ycu slept. Will ! you slacken the speed of the train?" The messenger seized the bell rope, and the speed of the train be gan to diminish. "Now good night, Gleason," said tne disappointed robbers, moving to the sliding door; "We hope the company won't discharge you for sleeping at your post. Of course wo are disappointed—we expected to make a big haul to-night." The next moment they sprang from the car, and the messenger heard a prolonged whistle. Then lie saw the bell-rope mov ing, and the train fast returned to its speed. lie fell back into his chair com pletely mystified. Ho could not imagine who had robbed the safes, "Whose empty poekets stared at him from one corner of the ear. His thoughts were suddenly in terrupted by the conductor, who bounded into his presence. "They did, eh ? Money all gone, Curse the (lends t They had a man on each platform, masked and arm ed. How much did they get ? They came on board as passengers." "Not a dollar !" said Gleason. The conductor looked at the safes, and then at the man, whom he seemed to regard as mad. "Where is ihe money then ?" "1 don't know !" The train was stopped, and as the messenger had told his story, search for the packages began. It came to an abrupt and happy termination. The engineer placed the lost valuables into Gleasou's bauds. "Bob, the fireman, saw you climb on to the coal in the tender, and then you stuffed all these enve lopes into one corner. When you went back into your car we pulled 'em out, and intended to keep 'em for you till we got to Grafton. Why, you nad your eyes open, but Bob and me knew you were in a walking trance." Thus spoke the engineer, and the reader may imagine with what thankfulness the messenger received the envelopes, not one of whose original number was missing. 1 do not know whether the rob bers ever learned the story of the missing valuables, but I do know that sii.ee that night George Glea son has not been a somuabulist. - GOING COIRTIXG. One of the chief eomnensatuns of a woman's life is found in the fact that she diedn't have to "go a court ing." Ic must bo confessed that in these days the modern belle does not have to dress up in a stiff collar and a pair of bcots a size too small for her and walk up to the cannon's mouth of her inamorato's family, consisting of father, moth .-r, grand, mother, a maiden aunt, and pi r haps a dozen brothers and sisters and inquire in a trembling voice : "Is Miss Arabella at home ?" "Whenever a mai goes a-cv.irtlng, ever}body seems to know all about it. lli3 demeanor tells the obser vant spectator the business he is intent upon. He nrght as well placard himself, "I'm going coiut ing." Everybody is cognizant of it and looks knowingly, and ask him if "the Northern lights were bright last night about one o'clock, and how the market is for kerosene at Daddy Brown's ?" and a score of other questions out of place. We know a young man who is deeply and we trust successfully en gaged in going com ting, and our warmest sympathies have been ex tended toward him. When Sunday afternoon arrives it is plain that something is about to happen. lie is tidgety and non-communicative ard cannot sit in one place half a minute at a time ; he is continually interviewing his watch and compar ing it with the old eight-day, eollin shnpped clock in the corner. lie looks in the glass frequently, and draws his forward locks back and then forward, and puts them down, and is unsatisfied with the effect throughout. The smell of bay rum and bcrga mot is painfully apparent. When he shakes his handkerchief, musk is perceptible. II is boots shine like mirrors, and there is a faint smell of {cardamon seeds in his brenth when he yawns. He smoots his budding moustache with affection ate pats and feels his invisible side whiskers continually to make sure they are there, a fact which is not esta dished to outside observers by sense of sight. He tries on all his neckties without finding just the thing he wants. Then ho has spasms of brushing his coat, that commence With violence and last un til one grows nervous for fear the broadcloth will not be able to stand the friction. If spoken to suddenly he starts, and blushes, and looks guilty as if he were stealing something, and di rectly if one does not speak to hi in he goes back to the delightful occu pation of staring at nothing and waiting for the hour to peep around to seven. — Portland Press. WHAT I HAVE SEEN. An old mail of experience says : I have seen a young man sell a good farm, turn merchant, and die in tne insane asylum. I have seen a farmer travel about so much that there was nothing at home worth looking at. i 1 have seen a young girl marry a man of dissolute habit*, and repent for it as long as she lived. I have seen a man spend more money in folly than would snpuort ; his family in comfort and indepen dence. I have seen a man depart from truth where candor and voracity would have served him to a much better purpose. I have seen tho extravagance and folly of children bring their parents to poverty and want, and themselves to disgrace. I have seen a prudent and indus trious wife retrieve the fortune of a family, when tho husband pulled at the other end of th o rope. I have seen a young man who de spised the counsel of tho wise and the advice of the good, and his ca reer end in poverty and wretched ness. AN INTERMISSION SIMPLY. Yesterday noon a commotion was observed in a fanner's wagon on Woodward avenue, near Davenport street. A citizen advanced to dis cover that a farmer and his wife were having a regular old-fashioned domestic light at the bottom of the wagon, while the horses were eat ing gi ass over the curb stones. "Here—what's to pay ?" shouted the citizen as ho climbed upon the wheel. "Fighting 1" gasped the woman whose head was half buried in the straw. The farmer made 110 reply. llis head was under the seat, one leg over the wagon box, and be was clawing the air like a man whose lungs wanted more air. "I should think you'd have wait ed till you got outside of the city to engage in such disgraceful con duct," continued the citizen. 4t l know we ortor," replied the woman as she sat up, "but when I found six plugs of tobacco, a new dime novel and a pack of cards in his hind pocket, and remembered how I had waited six months for a kaliker dress, I nz right up and tackled him on the spot. 1 couldn't wait a minute thin, mister, but now if you'll check up that high boss I'll drive along and renew the combat beyound the toll-gate !" The citizen complied, and she was seated across her husband's knees as she took the lines and shouted : i4 .*et up !"— Detroit Free I'rcss. FAVORITE PIBIKVIIOAS.
