I had not been on the inn more, than a triotilh idtvions to the date of the occtir if nee of which I am K'-iti? to 'eh you. I hat I been lunoiiip on h bianch route lor more than a year, and I tntht have staid there a good deal longer, if 1 had not been chosen to take Paxon's place w hen he went off. Yon see two or three Attempts had been made to rob the express car, and at l.ist,at the end of a hntej mn, I'ax.ui was found dead in the car i ha bullet 1nIe in his head. But the safe was closed tight none, though an attempt had. been made to blow it open, nhich proved inetl'-ctual. ilnt the strangest part of it was that the key was missing fiom I'axns pocket, and it was not. found till a good fix we, ks rF leiw.ird. Then K was discovered at the side of the tiack, w ith a caid lied to if, on which it was wiitten that lobbeis weie in the car, and he expected I hey would mur der him if he refused to give up I he key. lie was title to the last. Well, you may suppose, that I felt j'lst the least, bit s'lueamish about aocepinig such an unin viiing ber h ; but the supei intendent gave me orders, and I meant to do my rimy, however disagieeable ii might le. 'I hen !te pay w;ss largertlian I had ever received befoie; and as I was acquainted i h a go.d giil, who was leady 10 help me in habit a house whenever I should be able own one, that was quite an object to ine, I can assure you. Well, everything passed ofT smoothly enough for several weeks and 1 had become npeuN'orned t the route, ami made a dozen o. i wo of very pleasant acquaintances, and w:..s growing to be pretty well con.ented viih tny life. I had almost: begun to think the robbers, whoever I hey might be, had given up nil thought of ever making any . hing out of my car, aud had sought anoth er fn Id of operations. One day I was informed by the agent at H that sometime within a week I would have to take chaigeof about .s0,000 in specie in its transit over our road, on it way from Washington to San rrancisco. The oRieers of the express company had been advised of this intended important shipment in Older thattbey mightexeicise redoubled vigilance in view of Ihegieat risk incurred in the transpoi tatiou of such a valuable consignment. .

He produced an envelope, aud handed it to me, saying as lie did so : 'Thete, Bill, are your orders, direct from the superititen. ent, with It is own signatnie afached. Head them carefully at7d obey them to the letter, for a little niismove might cause a great loss to the company', and cost you your position." 'I shall do my duty to the very letter,"' I replied. "1 am sure you mean to do so," returned the agent, "but you can't be too careful. Some f the members of the light fingered profession are as quick as lightning. "The plans they can't devise ain't worth think ing of, and t hoy are as feittle in expedient as the evil one himself. I thought. I'd just put yon on jour guard in a frieudly way, and ' There was a slight sound at the door. If the depot hadn't been deserted by every one except ust.vo, and the switch engine hadn"t been up at the yard, where we couldn't hear its incessant prliing, I don't believe jve would have heard the sound at all. But wc both noticed ii at once, and as I looked out of the oliice into the large room beyond. I saw a man standing jiTst inside the outer door, with his head in clined towaid us as if he was trying to oveihear our conrersaiiou. He saw"me about ihe tune 1 iii st noticed him. I knew it Irom the little start of surpiise he gave me as his eyes met mine. lie was all over his awkwardness in a minute, foi he dieiv his lace down to an expression of the utmost unconcern, and came boldly forward to the window of the otilee, through which ihe agent transacted any business ho :niei,t have with peisons w it bout. He was a very fair appealing man, ap parently about 40, though he might have been a lit le older. He was d-l-ssed in black, and weAiiug a high hat, he might have passed veiy well for one or the cl.nh, if his nose hadn't been just a trille lumi nous. The t.i her peculiarly I noticed about the man was I hat he had a queer sort of a icd-looking eye. It appeared rixed and stating, and, as became nearer, I con cluded it as glass. It was so strange and unnatural in its expression Hint I thoneht I should know it if I should see it peeibig at me over the great wall of China. "Is thrie a small package here for Isaac G. Van Scoter," he asked in a business-iike way in answer to the inquiring glance of the agent. The agent referred to one of the big registers oti the desk, and answeied iu the negat ive. "Queer," said the man with the red eye. "It ought to have come yesterday. Iliive you read the Ere King ClisonicleV And after thisabiupf. interrogation the strangei stood quite motionless, eyeing the agent intently for as much as a miuule. Wc both answered "Xo." The man took a paper out of his' pocket, and spreading it open before us put one of his slender forefingers ou the following paragraph : "Fatal, AccrnKXT.

I don't know how tny poor si-tei w ill bear it . It's about this sad iiilait lii;.t I came here ohietlv. I want to send ihe two bodies through to G by express. Thuisdi.y, by the 11. 4J train. "What wiii be I he charges? ' "The cliaiges will be 2-V answered the ageti'. The stranger only bowed solemnly in recognition of Ihe reply. Then he was si lent for a minute or t-vo, riming which time he appeared lobe struggling with his grief. "The bodies will be hero Thui sday morn ing," he said, "I hope y.. u will make all arrangements to prevent delay; I guess my package won't come this week." The agent assured him that there would be nodelav, and he might depend on hav ing the bodies rro thronuh to G willi the greatest possible expedition. The man bowed again politely; then he said : "Is the telegraph office near? I must break the sorrow lul news to tny poor sister, I suppose, though it's anything but a pleas ant duty." I told him how to reach the place he sought, and with a polite "ihank you." ihe sad man wilh the red eye walked out of the oliice, and in a couple of minuses t be sound of his footsteps died away i.i the distance. "A queer soi t of a chap." said I. "A lillleodd," answered the agent. "I wonder if he heard us talking about the specie ?"' I queried. "He seems honest enough.'' "Yes," said I; "but I am sure he was listening to oui talk tilion I first saw him." "A.e you certain of it? ' the agent ask ed, eaiiei ly. "Well no, not altogether cettatn, be yond all mistake, but it looked mightily like it, I can tell you." "Suppose you go to the telegraph office and see w hat kind yf a message he sends," suggested the agent. No sooner said than done. I hastened around to the telegiaph office, and as I went iu the man came out. He did not seem to tecognize me at least, he did not look at me and I thought it prudent to appear not to notice him. "Did that preacher looking fellow send a message to G ?" I asked ;f the opera tor, when I had gone in and closed the door after me. "Yes. Why do 5011 ask ?" "Oh, only out of curiosity," I replied. "Was it. anything of importance? The man said that his brother aud brother-in-law were both killed this afternoon." The operator took the copy oF Ihe mes sage from a file on the table ami laid it, be fore me. Ii wns addiessed to Mrs. C. II. Grirgs G , aud signed Isaac Vau Scoter. It read : "Henry and Charles are loth dead. They will be sent home Thuisday." Everything seemed consistent, and any doubts which I had enteitaintd of the good intentions of the stranger were speedily dispelled. I didn't go back o the office, but .'nriied tny steps towaid my hoaidmg place, thinking, as. I wi. Iked hIool', that Thursday would be an uncommon one for me with two .vni aud $3'),0O0 in my car.

Thursday morning. It was securely locked in two strong iron bound chests, and when l hey were stowed away in the huge stife and Mie heavy doois made fast, I hopght everything was pielty well lixed. A few miiiuies before we pulled on, two wairons passed bj the eat. one of them con taining two Collins, and the other six men, who were evidently acting as pall bearers. I looked arot.nd for the bereaved biother with Ihe peculiar eye, but he was nowhere to be seen. 1 thought it a little stiauge that ho should be absent at such a lime, but I forgo! all about it iu a moment. The oofiiiis were placed in tine end of the car, and after it had been arranged that one of the men should come into the car and take a look at the bodies when we ar rived at Bedwood he shook hands w ith the others and rnlPiejoite of Hie coaches. As the door closed ou him, the bell mug and we went steaming away. I was pretty busy for an hour or more, and we had ptissed three or four stations befoie I had time to cast more than a cas mil glance towaid the quiet passengers at I he end of the car. But after a little, w hen I had more leisuie, an uncontrollable wish !ook possession of tne to look at the faces of Ihe two dead men. I, wasn't mere morbid cttiiosity, and I ctu't describe it in any way better than to say it was a sort of vague desire which I could not quiet with out satisfying i. I noticed that the lids were not fastened down. My next discoveiy wns that the sciews were gone. This stiuck me as strange, for I was sure I had noticed them when the cofii ns wet e lifted into ihe car. I remembered that I had given the attend tints permission to arrange ihe casket to their own satisfaction, and that they had been a long time doing it. If they had removed the sciews unobserved at that lime, what possible object could they have had iu doing so? Wilh this question in my mind I laised the upper poiiion of the lid of the cofiin nearest n e aud took a look at the face of the occupant. He was a young man with a full lace and jsquare features. His cheeks were not sunken, aud he had a de cidedly fiesh appetu ance for a y. mug man who had beeu dead nearly two days, 1 thought. Replacing tlie lid, I passed away to the other cofiin. Here a new and staitling sur prise met ine, The man in the coffin was the man whom I had seen iu the express office ! That red eye was staring straight t me, and I was not mistaken ! For a moment my consternation was loo great for words. I could not have ut'.ered a sound had my life depended tin it. This man who was aiive afier the acci dent, which the paper said caused Ihe death of Van Scoter and Grggs, and who had made anangemenis for the transporta tion of their remains, was now here in this collin, to all appeaiance dead ! Then I remembered that Ihe bereaved stranger hail said that his dead biother had resem bled him very closely. ln: two biotheis are not apt to have led glass eyes ! Such a coincidence as this was beyond the pale of reasonable probability. hile yet I gaz d at the supposed corpse, the other eye opened a little and I was sure that, it was looking at me! 1 was con vinced there was fraud here, but to show that I had discoveied ii might cjst me my life. So I very quietly replaced the lid uf tin ; oftln and took a momem'.-J ime to think I remembered my convetsation with the express auent, which we feared bad been oveiheaid by the cleiical appeal ing s:i an iter, and could only come .o the conclusion that the whole thing was a delilierate plan to murder me and gain possession of Ihe sfSO.OtiO in my charge. There was no de nying that ihe man with the red eye was alive, and I had no doubt that the other man was also. Kneeling down I placer" my ear close to the side of Ihe coffin and could hear him breathe quite distinctly. I remembered that it was the intention of the attendant who had boaided the train to enter Ihe car at Redwood, tisiensibly for the purpose of seeing to the bodies; and I coul i not doubt that the three men in tended o attack me after the train pulled out from the station, and rob the car be lore our arrival at the next stopping place. I here was but one station befween"us and Redwood, and I knew we would be there in ten minutes more. I had no time for hesitation. Instant action was my only chance Tor safety. If I could secure myself against an attack until we reached ihe next station, I rer that all would be we'l. In one instant I had decided upon a plan of action. As quietly as possible 1 p.led seveial heavy boxes of merchandise" on lop of the two collins, and then I knew 1 was safe. Scarcely was this accomplished when we ran into the station. 1 immediately found twoor three ".ffiCeTS. First the man iu the coach was seemed. He was highly indignant that ,e should be disltii bed on such a solemn mission. j;,,r it was no go. He w as handcuffed in less than two minutes aud marched out oh the pi. ii form. It was an easy matter o secure the two quondam dead men. They were i.ikeu greatly at. a disadvantage, and wete de prived of fall power to u-sist almost In-fore they became aware how their nice little scheme had terminated. A.l three had been well armed. Bound and guarded the three miscreants were l?ken to Redwood and lodged iu the count) ja'il. Befoie I left I took a look at them tluo' the grated doors of their cells. When I paid my respects to the man with the red eye, he smiled a little and reuiat ked pat ronizingly : "You'ie a pretty sharp young man. Il takes a middling keen boy hi oui w it us." "IVimit n.e to sympathize wiihyu i:i your sni row at ihe loss, of your dear bi oth er. just a little, ' I said, "and inoieal our failme to get the $0.(HX)." 1 hey all bioke jail in less than a week, butn.it before one of ihem, the y-uioges:. cmpse, was recognized as the noloi hu Jesse .Tames.

This great length is taken in eighty-five spans of varying w id'h. Theie are longer viaducts over marshes and meadows, but there is no biidge of the same lenoth over a running stream.
