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.
