A Doll's House j By ELINOR MARSH Train robberies, which bad quieted down during the early part of 19 —, broke out with renewed vigor in the autumn of that year. One of these attacks was not only well planned, so far as getting treasure was concerned, but in getting away tvith it. Jim Charnley was the leader of the hand that made the attack and chose the field of enterprise by personally in vestigating different points on the rail road he proposed to operate on. He discovered a cave concealed by thick undergrowth where a party of men might hide. So far as he could learn, no one knew of it. He proposed to rob a train as it passed within a few bun dred yards of this cave. A part of the force would make off on horseback while another part with the plunder hid in the cave. <4 posse would follow those who had ridden away while the men in the cave waited till the excite ment had died out and then make off. The robbery was eminently success ful. The train was stopped and the plunder taken from the express car. The robbers made off through a wood, dropping the treasure into the hands of four men who made their way to the cave unseen. Those who had rid den away were followed but not cap tured. A surprise awaited those who had gone to the cave, among whom was Jim Charnley, the leader of the gang. He had not been to the cave since he had discovered it several weeks before. On entering It he saw a doll in a little bed and several articles of doll furni ture beside it. The presence of this Inanimate com bination of china and sawdust caused a commotion on the part of the rob bers. Some of them, fearing that their presence there might be discovered, were for moving at once. But Charn ley argued that the region of the rob bery would be filled with persons mov ed by curiosity, if nothing more, and that any move for the present would be dangerous. If the child came to play in the cave she could be taken in and held from giving information of their presence. Little Margy Bickford, who lived on the other side of the rise from the mouth of the cave, was the child who had made the place a playhouse. On the afternoon of the robbery she start ed to go there to get her doll and bring it home. Coming to the rise, she pass ed over the roof of the cave, where there was a break in the rock that formed it, not sufficient to let in light, but through which sound might pass. The robbers had closed up the mouth of the cave and supposed that they might talk with freedom. At the time Margy was passing over the break in the roof they were discussing whether they should get out or remain where they were. The question was a mat ter of life or death with them, and their arguments were by no means subdued. Margy, hearing voices in the bowels of the earth beneath her, turned and ran back home as fast as her lit tle legs would carry her. Her mother, seeing that the child had been fright ened, questioned her and was told that some men were In her playhouse and would take her dolly away with them. Mrs. Bickford had heard of the train robbery, and it was not long before she began to suspect the truth concern ing the voices her daughter had heard in the cave. She went at once to a neighbor and reported the case. Un fortunately most of the men there about had gone off after the robbers, who had ridden away, and not enough men could be got together to warrant attacking an unknown number of des peradoes ensconced in a cave, so noth ing was done except to station a boy of sixteen to watch the hiding place. Charnley decided to remain where the robbers were only till midnight, then to walk to the nearest station two miles distant and board a train that would stop there at a few minutes aft er 1 o'clock. Billy Simpson, who was on watch, saw them leave the cave. He followed them to the station, near which they waited till they heard the train coming, and then went up on to the platform. Billy went to the rear car unseen by tbem and got aboard at the same time they did. There were four men in the gang, but they took separate seats They paid the conductor their fare, and he passed on to the rear car, where Billy Informed him as to the nature of the passengers who had just got on the train. The conductor wrote a telegram, which he gave to Billy, instructing him to get off at the next station, five miles distant, and send it. believing that his own motions would be watched by the robbers. On reaching the station Billy stepped off on the dark side of the car unseen, and the train went on. The agent was in bed, but Billy routed him out, and the telegram was sent to a sizable town ten miles distant. Meanwhile the conductor directed the engineer to slack speed that sufficient time might be given for preparation for a capture. But few men could be got together in so short a time, and they were dis guised, having boarded the train and went on with it- The robbers began to leave it one by one, thinking they were unsuspected. This rendered their capture easy, and they were all seized without a fight. Little Margy. who had saved $40,000. was adopted by the express company. Billy was given a handsome reward and later a position on the railroad.

Sarah Martin married Jim Hewsou because she was a hired girl and work- s2 a week; because, again, she was tired of work and wanted a home. Jim Hewson married Sarah Martin because he also wanted a home and because he knew that she earned $8 a month. That would pay the rent on a cottage in a village in those far back days. Jim was lazy. He was born that way and couldn't help it. He hadn't energy enough to sweat a shirt collar, and therefore when he worked he got paid according to his energy, wLueh pay seldom exceeded 15 cents a da\ l . The bridal tour of the newly weds consisted of walking a mile arm in arm, each with a basket on the free arm, to a huckleberry swamp a mile away. There they picked twelve quarts of berries—that is. Sarah picked ten quarts and Jim two. Then they walk ed to town and sold the berries to 2 grocer for 0C -cents in cash. "i'ou see." said Jim as he jingled the money in his hand, "we can get along as easy as grease. money would buy us provisions for a week." The bride half laughed at the re mark. but soon felt serious and hadn't much more to say. Two weeks later, however, she had. Jim had gone to see her in the kitchen In which she worked and was feeling glad that he was a married man when she said: "Jim. I have been thinking things over." "Well?" was the query. "I have come to the conclusion that I was either a lunatic or an idiot to have married you. You are all wrong. You are lazy and shiftless. . You haven't got the energy of a potato bug. You want me to work and support you in stead of it being the other way. If you were the best husband in the state I wouldn't do it" "Well, what are we going to do?" asked the husband after a lapse of a minute. "I can't get a divorce from you, Jim, for I haven't got the money to put one through. If we agreed on a separa tion it would do me no good, for I'd still be bound to you. If I was free altogether I might stand a chance of getting a husband who would provide a home and comforts for me." "You mean if I should die you'd have your chance?" The wife didn't reply. She only looked at him. Jim rose up and left the house with out a good night and went to his bed of hay in the stable, and for an hour he did more thinking than he had done in a year before. In about a week he tried suicide. He went over on the railroad track iu midafternoon, and when the 3 o'clock express came along he was standing between the rails and facing it. The whistle screamed and tooted, but Jim stood there as if spiked to a tie. The engineer tried to stop the train, but the pace was thirty miles an hour when the cowcatcher did its work. Five minutes later a man who had witnessed the accident from forty rods away came running up just as the vic tim was climbing the fence of a corn field into which he had been hurled. He had a slight limp in the left leg. but that was nothing for Jim to kick about Sarah had heard of this attempt and started out to look for Jim. but she didn't have the luck to find him. He was missing from his usual haunts for three or four days, and then he turned up on a bluff overlooking the mill pond half a mile from the bridge. He was going to try the water cure this time. Tne bluffs were thirty feet above the water, and Jim couldn't swim a stroke. Instead of striking the water, how ever. he struck a strip of mud. "You blamed idiot! What -did you jump for? I saw you when you made the leap!" said a passerby. "I wanted to die." replied Jim. Sarah got every loose boy in town to hunt for Jim. but they hunted in vain. He had one more attempt com ing to him, and if found at all he want ed to be found dead. He went two miles away from town and hired to a farmer to sprinkle paris green over the potato vines of his patch. The farmer left him alone for an hour, and Jim mixed a big dose of the powder and drank it down. It was an overdose, however, and it was thrown off. and his life was saved again. It was when poor Jim was tottering down the road toward the village that a man in an auto overtook him and halted to say: "If you aren't drunk, then you are sick. Get in here. Now, what's the matter?" Jim told him all, and, curiously enough, the autoist proved to be an uncle of his whom he had not heard of since his boyhood days. When the uncle had heard the story to its end he said: "Jim, you had a fool for a father. You have got three fool brothers and fool sisters and about five or six fool uncles and aunts and the Lord onJy knows how many fool cousins, but you are the first fool in all .the family that ever owned up to being a fool. You shall be rewarded in consequence. ! will buy you a house and lot in the vil lage, give you $5,000 to set you and Sarah on your feet and bet that you'll come out very near the top. A man who is a fool and knows it is a better man than one who thinks he is wise and doesn't know it." And Jim and Sarah made up and have lived happily ever since.

Bha could trace in the faces of those peo ple who visited her a resemblance toi some aort of animal. For instance, if some one reminded her of a certain lady she would probably hesltata for a moment and then say, "Oh. yea, the lady with the camel facef or, "Oh, I remember—she had a cow facef' This memory system was not flattering to ber friends, but it showed how satu rated she was with a knowledge of an imals and their characteristics. On ev ery human face she found a likeness to some animal she had studied and de lineated.
