A Midnight Raid.
By

W. THOMSON.
Gleddebedodedod
While residing in’ the Canadian Vil-
lage of Chippewa, I happened one day,
in July, 1864, to be detained very late
at my office, on the south side of Chip-
jewa creek, which discharges into Ni-
agara river about two miles above the
falls. The creek has two mouths sep-
arated by Hog Island, which is some
three hundred yards below the bridge
by which I must cross to reach my |.
house.
Thirty feet from the south end of
this bridge stood a large storehouse for
bonded whiskey. The building rested
upon piles driven into the bed of the
stream, and its plank floor was about
four and one-half feet above the water.
Walking quietly, I had barely come
upon the bridge when I heard above
the drowsy murmur of the Falls a pe-
culiar grating sound, coming appar-
ently from beneath the warehouse.
‘What could it be? Leaning over the
railing, I listened intently.
The grinding noise seemed like that
produced by a hand-turned auger bor-
ing through soft wood.
I surmised at once that scme one
was about to tap the lower tier of
whiskey consisting of the casks con-
taining one hundred and tweniy gal-
lons each. Who could it be? Probably
smugglers from the American side ot
the Niagara were at work, not buying
their stuff, as usual, but stealing it.
At this time the United States im-
port duty on spirits was two dollars a
gallon. Common whiskey could be
bought at the Chippewa distillery for
scventy cents per gallon in geld, and
readily sold across the line for five dol-
lars in greenbacks; so there was large
profit in the contraband trade, even
when the smugglers paid for the liquor.
Men engaged in this nefarious traffic
used to row down from the distillery
to the mouth of the creek at night;
then tow their boat up the Canadian
side of the Niagara to a point opposite
the head of Navy Island, push across to
Buckhorn Island, and thence drop
down to some previously selected spot
on the New York Skate shore anywhere
between Schlosser and Port Day. The
smugglers always knew, by a prear-
ranged shore signal, that no officers
were in the way, and that a cash cus-
tomer was waiting for the cargo.
I had listened scarce a minute to the
mysterious noise, when a chug was
heard, then a renewed and sharper
grating. So I know that the auger had
gone through the three inch pine plank
north er down river side of Hog Isl-
and, was too near the rapids for any-
thing except very light craft to try.
Softly regaining the shore, I got a
loaded revolver from my office, and
then hurried away to the shanty of the
duck hunters, and soon woke both.
They readily agreed to help me, and
brought their guns.
“It’s sure to be the Schram boys,”
said Bullamore. ‘No one else around
here has grit enough’ for such:a job.
Them fellers has got rich since ‘the. be-
ginning of the war; but I'll be hanged
if I thought they’d steal whiskey!
Square, honest smugglin’ isn’t no great
‘sin, I s’pose; but out an’ out robbin’
—I didn’t b’lieve the boys would de-
mean theirselves to that.”
Ignoring Bullamore’s fashionable dis-
tinction: between robbing a government
and a private individual, I led to the
cut, which was about one hundred
yards long and fifty feet wide, separat-
ing Hog Island from the mainland. We
sat down under the clay-bank midway
of its length. The night was not so
very dark, but at a distance of ten feet
the sharpest eye could hardly have dis-
tinguished our gray-clad forms from
the background against which they
rested.
We knew what the thieves must in-
tend to do. Their scow was so heavily
laden that they would, of course, not
attempt to row it out on the Niagara
here. They would tow it up the Can-
adian shore a couple of miles, conceal
part of their cargo and use their long
sweeps to row the scow diagonally
across to Navy Island, where they
would probably send small boats for
the hidden whiskey. So somewhere in
the cut they must put a rope and two
men ashore. The third would stay on
the scow to steer it while ithe others
towed.
We patiently waited for more than
half an hour. Then we dimly saw a
shadowy black object floating slowly
toward wus.
Presently, on striking the current of
the cut, it began to move faster, and we
then saw a single row of kegs ranged
on its deck. Two men were sitting on
kegs; the third, nearest the stern,
noiselessly worked a steering oar.
In a minute or two as the craft was
abreast of us and the steersman try-
ing to put it in touch with our shore,
we rose to our feet, and I said,
“Land right here with that whiskey,
men! I’m an excise officer.”
""o to thunder!” yelled one of the
¥s in reply. “Keep quiet, if you're
’s the Schrams, sure enough! That
e's voice,” whispered Johnson.
i he called out, “The game’s up,
! Run right in, or we'll fire on
ullo, Bullamore! That’s nice work
ou, isn’t it?” retorted lke. “Fire
* and be hanged!” :
:antime the steersman threw the
’s head toward Hog Island.
our design was to capture the men
out bloodshed, I now fired a pistol-
over their heads.

owner instantly crouched behind
1egs.
mere chance, I presume, one of
blindly aimed bullets grazed one
allamore’s ears, which so incensed
that he threw up his huge smooth-
and pulled the trigger. Most of
shot rattled against the kegs, but
nothered and somewhat forcible
ulation showed that a stray pellet
hit one of the thieves.

ler. She was fast nearing the
aty Niagara. We became frighten-
fen, don’t throw your lives away!”
plored, as we kept pace with the
'. “Come in and surrender. If
run into the river, mothing can

‘ou tend to your business and we’ll

ose they did not know they were
sar the river. But in another mo-
. the clumsy hulk had cleared the

1, which strikes against Hog Isl-
and takes a sfrong outward trend.
ubtless they thought they could,
ightening their boat, work their
diagonally up and across the
m to a safe position; for now, as
island hid them from view, we
hear them pitching the whiskey
oard and shipping their sweeps.
ly one way, however, could they
bly save themselves,
iting his hands, funnelshape, ot
aouth, Van Wyck, hailed—
urn your bow down stream, you
, and scoot ashore just below the
‘hannel! That‘s your last chance!”
reply was made to this friendly
:e end we heard the men begin to
desperately. But not for one min-
ould they hold their own against
tremendous rush of water. A light
needs strong arms there. Every
nt they were swept farther down
out, while the sound of their rap-
r-strokes grew fainter and faint-
was impossible for us to aid them.
They would be at the head of the cata-
tracts before we could bring a boat from
the village and start to rescue them,
which at best would be a desperate
venturing of our own lives. The plash-
ing of their heavy sweeps was still
audible—but not long. Suddenly a
sharp snap was heard, and we knew
that one of the overstrained sweeps
had broken short off. At this, break-
ing their silence, they shouted again
and again for help. Too late! No hu-
man power could save them.
We could not even follow them
along the shore, because the broad
creek intervened. Shuddering, we lis-
tened to their ever receding shrieks.
Presently these ceased, and all was still
save for the steady roar of the Falls.
“Poor critters! They're gone,” said
Johnson, as we turned sadly away.
“There was lots of good in them fellers,
and two of them was married men.
They must have swallowed too much of
the whiskey, or they'd a’ known bet-
ter than to go out in that tub. Drat
‘the whiskey trade, anyhow! I'm
blamed if I'll ever touch another drop
of the stuff; not duck huntin’, nor
fishin’, nor no time.”
“Bullamore, I'm there, too,” exclaim-
ed Van Wyck, and they shook hands
on it:
On the afternoon of the next day, two
men came over from Grand Island, in-
quiring for the hapless smugglers.
On learning the melancholy facts,
the men went at once to the Whirl-
pool below the Falls, whose circling
eddies scmetimes carry to shore the
remains of objects that have taken the
great plunge. Here they found part of
the broken oar, a fragment of the scow,
one keg of whiskey intact, but no trace
of human bodies. Indeed, the fearful
rock-strewn depths above the whirl-
pool do not always give up their dead.
Having their worst fears thus con-
firmed, the messengers returned home
with the mournful tidings, leaving me
to feel almost like a murderer, though
I had acted from a strict sense of duty.
For months I brooded over the events
of that terrible night. Whether wak-
ing or sleeping, the dying shrieks of
the unfortunate men seemed ever ring:
ing in my ears, and I now thought of
a dozen different ways in which I
might have averted their fate. Vain
regrets! The mischief was already
done.
Late in November of that year, I
heard that the wives of Isaac and
Moses Schram, whose mourning for
their departed husbands had been, my
informant said, extremely violent, but
brief, had sold off their household ef-
fects and mysteriously disappeared.
For unknown reasons the widows had
so artfully covered their tracks that
no one was able or cared to trace them
beyond Buffalo. I could not have told
why this news comforted me, but it
did, and I gradually recovered from my
depression.
One October afternoon, six and a
quarter years afterward, I was sitting
in the office of a Minneapolis hotel,
when I noticed a respectably dressed
farmer-like man glancing alternately
at the register and at me.
After a few words with the clerk, he
seated himself by my side, making
some commonplace remark about the
weather. He seemed a well-informed,
agreeable fellow, and we were soon en-
gaged in conversation.
By-and-by, apropos of field sports, he
said,— s
“Stranger, the clerk tells me you're
out on a shooting trip. Now, I live
about twelve miles out of town, and
we're just overrun with prairie-chick-
ens. If you like to come out and put
up with us, it won’t cost you a cent
and you’ll have loads of fun.”
“Thank you—glad of the chance,”
said I. “And what is your name, my
friend!” for he had repeatedly used
mine.
“Well,” he laughingly replied, “if you
call me Peters you won’t be far out of
the way.”
Soon I jumped into Mr. Peters’ spring
wagon and away we went, behind a
pair of lively trotiers. After an hour
and a quarter’s delightful spin my
driver stopped beside a handsome
farmhouse, and ushered me into the
great, cheery kitchen, where a bright-
faced woman was busied in preparing
supper, while two sturdy-looking men
each dandling a child on his knee, sat
waiting.
“Do you know who this is, boys?”
asked my conductor, as both rose.
The men had no more than glanced
at me thon they placed the babies on
the floor, rushed across the room and
warmly grasped my hands, while one
of them fairly shouted,—
“Guess we do, Pete! It’s the man
that did us the best turn of our whole
lives!”
Then the woman, who had been cook-
ing, and ancther one, who had mean-
time come in, heartily joined in the
hospitable greeting. i”
“Friends,” I said, “you must mistake
me for some one else. I never before
saw one of you. What good could I
have ever done you?”
The women laughed merrily.
“Tell him, Pete,” said one.
Then, Mr. Peters, s'raightening his
face said,—
“We three men are Ike, Mose and
Pete Schram!”
At this astounding: announcement,
such a feeling of joy thrilled me that,
for a time, I could not spzak. At last
I managed to exclaim,—
“Why, men, what miracle is this? It
is more than six years since the Schram
brothers went over Niagara Falls.”
“No they didn’t,” said he. “Pete got
a couple of duckshot in his shoulder
from Bullamore’'s gun, that’s all. We
managed more by good luck than any-
thing to land on the middle edge of
Sireet’s Island, which is actually in the
rapids!
“Then,” he went on, “we shoved the
boat off and let her go over the Falls,
on purpose to make you folks think
we’d gone too, for we knew our profit-
able trade was knocked in the head,
as we could. never go back to Chippe-
wa: to buy whiskey, after being such
fools; as to steal a cargo.
"“So we made up our minds to clear
out’ secretly to Minnedcta. We wrote
to our wives by a roundabout way and
bought this six hundred and forty acre
section of land, and finished paying for
it as soon as the women came with the
bulk of our mcney. But that time we
had the house ready for them.
“The land was wild prairie when we
bought il; dur you see, we've made a
splendid farm of it. We're well fixed
for everything; we're leading straight,
honest lives and are as happy as any
folks can be. All of this has come
about because you scared us away that
night.”
“But, Mr. Schram,’ I asked, “how did
you know that ‘twas I who tried to ar-
rest you? You couldn’t see me.”
“Why, man alive, don’t you remem-
ber saying, ‘I'm an excise officer? We'd
seen you around the distillery scores of
times, toe. Do you live in the old vil
lage yet? ” :
“No, I removed to the country town
some time ago. But Bullamore and
nol, seen them for a couple of years,
though. They're prospering since they
turned teetotallers.” : .
“Teetotallers! Well, that is news,”
exclaimed Ike. “We sent old Bulla-
more and Vert each a good breech-
loading duck-gun last year. More than
that; we've paid the Chippewa distil
lers full price and the Canadian excise
duty on all the whiskey we stole that
night.”
“Good for you,” said I.
“Better still; we're sending ‘con-
science money’ to Uncle Sam’s treasury
every month now, and we’ll keep it up
till all our smuggling’s paid for. We
know to a cent what the debt was to
begin with, When we're square with
all the world, then we’ll come to life
again. Now, mohter, let’s have sup-
per.”
Nowhere could be found a happier
paily than that now gathered about
the table. The two handsome matrons
—sisters, it seemed—had consigned Ike
and Mose junior to their respective
cribs and did the honors with charm-
ing heartiness.
I stayed two weeks with my hospita-
ble friends, and had “a good time” in-
deed, as well as the best of chicken-
shocting. So the whiskey stealing mid-
night raid had not turned out very
badly after all.

A PAIR OF MYSTERIES SOLVED.
Mr. MacSwilliger Now Knows the
Fate of Old Trunks and Suit
Cases.
“I used to wonder,” said Mr. Mac-
Swilliger, “what become of all the old
leather trunks and suit cases and
handbags and that sort of thing. Of
course they must wear out and be
thrown away, but you never saw an
old leather trunk on the rubbish carts
of the Street Cleaning Department,
did you?
“I never did, never; and still they
must go somewhere; and I wondered
where. Now I know, or I think I
know. They go into meat pies and the
stews and things that you get in
boarding houses. I used to wonder
where they got the beef that they
put into these pies, it was so tough;
but now I know. They buy these old
leather trunks and cut em up into
suitable sized chunks and make this
leather beef up into meat pies.
“It is true that I never yet found in
a boarding house meat pie or beef
stew a trunk lock or a piece of a
hinge or any rivets or corner clamps
or other trunk hardware, but it isn’t
necessary for me to find these things
in the pie to know; there’s a whole
lot of things that we may not be able
to get any actual proof of that we
know just the same are true, and this
is one of them.
“I may not find any buckles or keys
or casters in my meat pie, but I don’t
have to; I know what the meat in the
pie is made of well enough to satisfy
me, and this is to me a great, in fact
a double satisfaction. I know now
where the boarding house keepers get
the meat for these pies, and T know
also what becomes of the old hand-
bags, suit cases and leather trunks.—

The Halcyon.
The kingfisher is the halcyon of the
ancients, who attributed to its spirit
after death the power of directing the
course of the winds. The week pre-
ceding and the week succeeding the
winter solstice comprise the fourteen
days that were known as the halcyon
days, and it was during this time that
the sea always remained extraordi-
narily calm in order that the king-
fishers might more easily build their
strange nests.
To their dead bodies was attributed
the power of giving peace and plenty
as well as strength and beauty and all
the necessaries of a happy existence.
They were also supposed to be able
to turn aside the thunderbolts and
therefore any house in which one was
kept was perfectly safe from light-
ning. In some parts of France even
to this day they are often called “moth
birds,” on account of the supposed
power which their dead bodies have
to drive away and keep away moths
from woollen cloths.—Suburban Life,

Always Keeps a Bottle in the House.
