as Uichmond was of the Federal. Its
preservation was of vital necessity,
and there was uo place of better stra
tegic value for such guardianship than
Arlington, directly In front of It. on
the Virginian bills that skirt the Poto
mac. It was not strange, therefore,
that the gates of the mansion had
scarcely closed on the retiring I.ee fam
ily after the fail of Sumter than they
swung open again when the tlrst army
called by Lincoln marched into the
grounds and bivouacked beneath the
stately trees where, later, some of them
were to lie' asleep forever.
Hut It was not n question of Wash

Quartermaster-General on that spring

much more serious problem in his esti

The matter was Indeed a pressing
one. The dally list of deaths from
wounds nnd disease In the hospitals In

large, and the utmost limit of accom

of her sons who had ralleu In such ap

taken at once, for from these very peo
ple must be drav.n further recruits.
irant had Just declared his Intention
of "lighting It out on this line," nnd as
an earnest of his sincerity the roar and
thunder of the nwful Battle of the
Wilderness could even now be beard.
Sixty-four thousand new men would be
required to fill the place of those who
helped the great General to win the
famous victories of the next few
weeks. And the man who so brilliant
ly contested every one of them and
every inch of that lino was Itobert L.
Lee.
"lie shall never, never return to Ar

the Prrsldctit rejoined him.
Senrcely were the words free from
his lips when a squad of men ap
proached with a melancholy burden
stretchers with the bodies ot a dozen
soldiers from out the tents.
"Set them down," commanded the
quartermaster, "(hiptaln, see that all

The STORY OF THE TRAIN ROBBER
A "Rcd-Hcaded,
Humanity . But
I-:ipulse Once.
"WHAT C - A -
THIS is n hit of the unwritten
history of tho Southwest, un
worthy of preservation save
(, for the thread of human in
ieresc inextricably Interwoven wrli and
lighting tip Its sombre passages. It is
given as near iis-mny lie In the lan
guage of one of tin; chief nctors lit
the drama, my friend, the train robber,
the only man on record who served
n life sr-htence at Columbus, Ohio, for
one offense and a live-year term at
Fort Leavenworth for another simul
taneously nml was purged of both In
hout thiee years.
l!ut the details o." his primes, con
viction, punishment and successful
l;!gal battle for liberty are another
tory nt:d It has already been written.
That the present story M l:ot couched
In the vernacular of the alkali and
agebrush melodrama Is due to tin
fa.'l that the man who told it Is a
graduate of tho University of West
Virginia nnd ns a condition precedent
to becoming a knight of the road was
prosecuting attorney of a:i Oklahoma
tounty In the early days when the
(licking was better' than it Is now.
He was not an imposing nor n par
ticularly heroic figure ns lie sat In the
dingy old cliy room nnd told his story
to the accompaniment of n tloz"n click
ing typewriters grinding out late copy.
He was a red headed, live-foot scrap of
humanity viLh the prison pallor on
his countenance and the prison taint
enveloping him ns a garment, but he
had n cold, steel-blue eye, a fighting
Jaw snd a mouth tlint closed In as
Mrong and expressionless a line ns the
two halves of a steel trap. As ho
talked one could understand how In
the free and lawless atmosphere of the
short grass country even a normally
conscientious man, Jiot on the trail of
ids brother's murderer, ns . he hnd
been, might through a combination of
fortuitous circumstances and nlavistlc
Impulse, become In turn n hunted out
Jaw, lie wns but five hours out of the
United States prison at Fort Leaven
worth, and the reason for his being
there and the manner of his release
made his story news. Not ,n thrilling
possibly, as the telegraph stories that
used to come in over tho wire when his
"gang" was alleged lo be terrorizing
the twin territories, but Interesting ns
marking tiie clove of an ep! s )de In the
vlnt'.hig of the West.
"And I guess thit'Il be about all." he
ia'd, as he finished the rccl.nl.
"Hut surely there must lie some in
cidents during all that tlun? to which
you can revert without regret," was
suggested.
"Well, yes," was the response, nnd
n reminiscent look came Into his .eyes.
'Them was one case that doesn't give
me unmixed gilef when I think of It.
One day during the recent unpleasant
ness I was In Western Texas on my
way to California by an unfrequented
route, ns main traveled ronds wer a
bit dangerous to me at the time. I had
been in th? saddle thlr'.y-slx hours on
end nnd without food for n day, so you
cr.n Imagine how glad I was to come
upon a solitary dugout with a rusty
Ktovpipc sticking up through tin roof,
th first I had seen for three days. I
called for several minutes before any
one came, but finally the tloor slowly
upenetl nnd womaii stuck her head
lauvIoLtsly out.
"Say, she wns a picture of poverty.
Thin faced, gaunt to the point of atten
uation, tlrissed ns far ns I coul l judge
In n single scant calico garment, nnd
barefoot. Several to-,v le ndeil kids
Willi Reared faces were pc-pIns; out
from behind her and holding ou to her
JrcM.
" 'lld!n.' she mponucd faintly to the
usual saluatlon of th: plains.
"'I've rede a day wh!io;:t eating ami
rim nearly famished.' I s-ild. 'Can't
jwiii (!x nie soate diuinr? I'll pay jou
well for it."
" 'Strange;-,' she report, 'I'd be
luiglily glad to, but there r.lu't a thing
t 'tit oa th: place and we're pretty
hungry t;urse!ves.'
"I'm reasonably hardened, but the
1 ok in that woman's eyes nnd those of
the kids ft the mere mentioti of food
touched me, and hnving learned that
tho nearest runcho was twelve miles
nwny I rode over there and back as
fast as my tired cayuse could carry me,
with bneoa, spuds, flour and conVe
tnougU to last n week. Man, It was
pitiful to see those hungry kids chew
ing a raw bacon rind to stay their
pinched little stomachs while the moth
er was cooking something for us to -vat.
Well, wo all gorged ouriselws. and af
ter supper, stimulated by the fond and
coffee, lh woman told me their story.
' l .hud wondered where her husband
r.-ns, nnd -she told m. lie had gone n
tveri before over nbut WJ miles cast
where a man owed him some n-.uney,
nnd she had expected hliu back for sev
eral days. Her supplies were exhaust
ed, and she and the children wero In
desperate straits when I providentially
drove up. She wns sure something
must have happened to li'-r husband,
nnd the worry about him was added
to her other troubles. It sDfms they
had formerly owned a little farm over
In Eastern Texas, but some Bhylock
of a cashier In a .country bank bad
made them a small loan and closed
them out when they were unable to
pay tho, Interest. Then thfy drifted
around for a year or two, nnd finally
stranded high and dry in that dugout
Jn the short grass. I left her some
money and wont on the next morning,
feeling mighty chesty over tho thought
that I had hplped some one out of the
hole, hut I remembered the name of the
town nnd Uk bank, and mndo up my
mind some day I would break even
with the cashier for robbing those peo
ple of their home.
"About a year later I wns In a little
town In Knstern Texas wllh a couple or
friends. I had business at the bank,
and ns I sieppca in the door It just
struck me thtit was the town where my
friends of the dugout bad been touched,
Olid that the fellow sitting ut n deik
behind the rolling was lb one who
turned the trick. I didn't like his look
anyhow, I leaned over nnd looked at
ldut (or a minute wlihoiu speukuig,

nnd finally he looked up nnd snapped:
" 'Well, young man, whnt do you
want?"
" 'You,' I said, and Jumped over the
rolling. He wns rattled and when I
told hi in to back himself up In a cor
tier nnd stay there he minded like a
good Imi.v, nnd stood Mill while I wasted
valuable time telling him what I knew
of Ids misdeeds nnd family history. I
broke even on thnt fnrm lonn. Ky the
time I was through with him anil his
Institution the town was popping pretty
lively, nnd the boys were yelling for
me to come on. Every blamed citizen
of the hamlet snd n few 'nesters' who
were rank outsiders felt privileged to
take a crack ut us, nnd one of tho boys
wns winged. But ive got hlni on ills
horse nnd retreated In good order.
"They were n persistent bunch, and
we had lo stop every Utile while nnd
kind of brush them back, but they
hung on till we got across Ited Itlver
nnd nwny. Another overland trip to
Soul hern California wns in order, nnd
soon I wns ngaln In Western Texas,
this time with my friends, nnd we
stopped nt the same dugout over night.
The man wns nt home nnd didn't act
ns friendly as I thought he ought to to
the man who had kept the wolf from
Ills door, but I never thought anything
of It, ns we were not n particularly
pretty trio io look nt. The next morn
ing when we woke and went to look
after our horses the mnn was gone.
Well, we snddled up right away, but
almost before we could mount here
come a sh-Tiff and n whole posse coml
totus after us. There was some lively
shooting, and the last tiling I noticed
wns that skunk who had piped us off
standing In the doorway of the dugout
smoking peacefully. He wns clearly a
non-conibntant, a coward as well as a
spy.
"We had a running fight for twenty
miles, but our hors;'s were fresh and
the posse was mostly made up of 'nest
ers," who don't liktf the smell of pow
der, and wo finally shook them off and
com limed our ltitr minted Journey to
California.
' 'I'm coining this way just onen
more,' I said when w-:- made camp that
night, 'and I'm going to get that un
grateful hound who gave us away."
" 'Oh. don't fret yourself.' replied onp
of the boys, 'he won't be there. I bust'

been discovered In the PIJo Mountains,
in Honduras. The vine grows to a
length or about 100 feet, varying In di
ameter from four Inches to two feet,
nnd is snld to produce rubber in con

the new plant yields rubber of a supe
