I alwayt knew T served tlie com pauy in a dangerous capacity, bat T had been an express messenger for so many years that I thought nothing of the risks 1 ran. My route was through a rough region too, afi er I was changed fjoru the Central Pacific to the Southern l'a citic road ; a region but half settled and civilized, where ludiaus aud ru Diana were as plentiful as China men in ’Frisco, My "run" was a long one, thro' a now country where railroad sta tions were often ene handled miles apart, and ihe loveliness of the scenery, combined wiih solita ry confinement in an express car, which looked more like a cell than aily hing else, made four days of every week haDg heavy on my hands, though I was often kept busy for hours at a time. I generally had a mixed assoif rnent of express matter, with plen ty of gold and silver in bricks and specie ; and occasionally, not much to my liking, a coffin or two going eastward, each enclosing a dead body. I would not mention /his but it is necesssry, as will be seen further on. I left Los Augeles every Mon day moruing at ; and from that time until the following Thursday I did uot leave my ex. pleas csr, having to go to E Paso and return for my week’s work, a distance of nearly fifteen hundred miles! This may seem a long "run,” and so \t was; but as the stations were few across the southern part of Arizona aud New Mexico, I had opportunities to take ray much needed rest, which I did after I became accustomed to tlie aitua tion. I was always glad lo get back to Los Angeles, however, for traveling ninety six hours wifLout any change is extremely tedious even iu a drawing room car. Imagine the contrast between riding that and riding in a heavi ly loaded express ear, with two small barrel “'indow* lo look out of, and a hard bunk in one comer to sleep on,*and you may form some idea of the monotony of my trip. Tbe mile* passed t lowly after I had assorted aud billed the ex preasage; my pipe was kepi burn ing ; and the constant roar and rumble of the train sounded dur ing the day, and lulled me to sleep at night, when tLe windows >vere securely fastened, the lamps light ed, and several rides and revolvers hung around in case of an emer gency. I ran as express messenger sev eral years without being in a rail road accident, or having the train stopped by robbers. Some of my brother messengers met with ad ventures on nearly every trip, but tor a long time I was unmolested, until I began to disregard the dan ger altogether. During that time I became accustomed to eveiy phuse of my situation, and al though my loaely life gave me a verv'silent and taciturn habit, I enjoyed my two days at Los An geles, or at Santa Monies, sea bathing, as much as my more formuate friends, who ran North over the Tchochapi /'ass, and were at home every Digln, enjoy ed their rests. Train bad lately been frequent, and while I did not ex Lawrenceville Georgia, Tuesday May 27, 1884, pent to be attacked. I learned to be pn the lookout. I had a set of signals wiih the bell rope to let the traiumen koow when I was ill danger. Robberies were often mad# while the trains were in mo tion. aud the express messengers were either bound ham! and foot, or killed, the robbers being des perate men who hesitated at noth ing. OccasioLally however I did re lax my vigilance, and slept as souud as at the hotel where 1 boarded. Finaly my turn came. The train arrived at Tucson one night nearly au hour late. There was a great deal of express mat ter to exchange and forlifieen min utes I was kept busy loading and unloading bundles and boxes. The passengers walked up and down the platform to stretch their legs; the engine’s safety valve hummed with escaping steam, and the long train of cars, reaching the full length of platform, presented picture of bustle and activity. When the last bundle was piled away, I had a chance to talk a few minutes with the expressman ; then the train started, and I clos ed the door, locked it and turned to the boxes and packages that were scattered around. The first hiug that attracted my attention was a long pine box I bad not noticed u when it was leaded, and thinking it was a queer time for a funeral to s’art Fast, I examined the address. It, was cons gned to New Orleans. I entered it on the book with the other express, and for an hour or more, while sorting ovei the pack ages, l took no notice of my silent companion. It was a common thing to have one or two funerals the whole length of the trip eastward, and I thought of this as I thought o f others : "Some poor fellow who left a pleasant home to come here iu search of a fortune, only to die ou the alkali plains, without a frieud." And after I had shoved the box against the side of the car, I open" ed a bundle of newspapers and se* looted one to read. It was not very late, and tilting my chair a gainst the side of tbe car beneath a lamp, / was soon interested in the news of the day. /7ow long I was in that position I do not know, but unconsciously I feel into a light sleep, I woke with a feeling of dread and fasci nation in complete possession of me. I did not move; I coul.l not. Something held me al nost breath less, and several minutes passed befjre I could open my eyes.— When I did, my heart gave a quick throb 1 Tl e top of the pine box was partly ra sed, and tiie features of a man, shaded from the dim light, were levealed to my acute senses t Even then, though greatly star tied, I did not make a motion, aud my eyes were all but closed. — Peering from the corner of one eye, I tried to make out his feat ures, but saw nothing beyond tbe brutal eyes aud half savage ruoutn, In an iustaut it flashed across me that he was a train-robber ! He was evidently waiiiug to see if I was fast asleep, for he ctid not move during several minutes, keep ing h>s eyes fastened on me with the steadiness of an animal. I scarcely breathed. The rifles and revolvers were on the opposite side of the car. Itl attempted to get them he would shoot before I matte two steps.— With my blood tiugling and my ears strained, 1 waited expecUnt ly for Lim to move, lasolving to wait for a favorable opportunity to spring on him. Probably there were a dozen more of h»s associates in tbe pas senger cars, and as soou as he had secured his prize they would be notified and the passengers rob bed, There was euough gold and silver in bricks in my car to make one man iudependly licli. The small safe was full of specie, a mountiug to SIOO,OOO worth. W illi tbe thought of my respon sibility came a feeliug of resolu tion. I must do something with out besitatien. Tbe dark eyes glared at me, but the robber never changed his posi REVOTDTO NEWS, LITERATURE AND DODAD AFFAIRS tion. I could read the meaning of their cold gb ter, and I must act if 1 saved mv life- I pretend ed to awt ken, by making two or three movements with my hands, and (o my intense relief the cover of the pine box quickly and quiet ly dropped to its place. Withpup making any hurried n otions, 1 l rubbed my eyes, gaped once er twice, aud slowly rose to my feet. "Well well, f said aloud, "I've been asleep.’’ Then T proceeded to lummage around the Cai as if nothing liad happened, but my serves were fit)t relaxed an instant. Befort the train had gone five miles farther I had some nails in my pocket. A quick, careless glance showed me a hole in the side of th# box, thro’ which the robber was undonbtly watching every movement that I mads I did not go near the revolvers or rifles. It would Lave taken but a secoud for him to have raised the l\ 1 and shot me, and I knew he would do so if 1 approached them. Instead of that 1 carelessly assort ed a pile ®f express matter near the box, with a view tojwbat I was about to do. I was terribly exciied, though I tiied to appear cool. When I was all ready I threw several heavy packages on ihe lid, sat down ou the box and hastily nailed aiowu the lid. I heard a noise within and felt a pressure as my prisoner endeavored o raise the lid. The weight was too great, and I soon had all the nails driven in to hold him fast. He was secured, but to make sure of him Isurronnded the box wi/li heavy bundles and piled upon it the heaviest boxes the car contained. 1 sat down for a minute to re cover myself, then taking . own a rifie. I cocked it loud enough for him in hear. "//ow many more are theie up on tins train ?’’ I asked, placing my mouth to a crack between the bricks. In reply I heard ainuftled souud resembling a curse, and as all the holes through which he might shoot were covered with gold aud silver. I put my mouth nearer aud asked the question again. I received no reply, and going to the other end of the car, I qui etly opened the door leading to the platform. The night air rush ed in aud the noise of the train came with it, making a din iu my ears- We were running at a high rate of speed around the hill® that abound in that region. I stepped to the platform of the next car, it was a smoking car.— The train-robbers were all ready at work. Two men, ir tbe for, ward end, witbin live stet of me, commanded a view of every pas senger with their leveled revolvers* and two more were going down the isle for the valuables. It was a terrible moment to me. I felt a keen sympathy for the pas sengers, whose terror-stricken fa. ces I could see in the dim light from the lamps, but I was help less; doubtless a similar scene was being enacted in the other pas er passenger and sleeping-cars. I wus hot and cold by turns. I watched the villians going cooij on with their work uti'il l began to think of my own safety. Char ley Slate, a brakemau, was bound h: nd and foot to the forward seat ; iu a few minutes they would fin ish their daring work aud come to my car. I did not doubt that ilie fellow I bad imprisoned in the pine box was au accomplice, and if they should should find the door of the express car locked, they would break it open to see what nad become of him, and kill me if 1 resisted. This would enable them to take possession of tbe money, bullion and valuable packages, and escape I knew mat they would not kill any one if he did not resist; and inside of five minutes they would demand an entrance to my car. Already the two robbers had nearly reached the lather end of the smoking car; thousands of dol lars were iu *ny cure; I must save it. Win out any more hesitation 1 stepped t<> the platform of my car, grasped the leaver that operated the Miller coupling,and, with a stiongpull, sepp#rated the two draw-heads. I was not a moment • too soon. Before the engine and express car had shot two hunored fed ahead of the train, the door of the smoking car opened and »he robbers stepped out. I heard their cry of rage, saw the llashe** of their revolvers, and felt the bnl lets strike the wood-work behind o>e. Hurrying forward, 1 told the engineer what I had done. He heartily approved of my ac tion and his words re assured me » I had taken a desperate course,but I had saved a great deal of proper ty. We burri d on through the darkness, aud soon reached 'he next station, from which the news was teh graphed to the company’s officers iu San IT tucisco and Tuc son Tilt robber in the pine box was then secured, but refused to say a word, and with a gang of a.iued trackmen, we returned to where we had lef' the train. The robbers had departed, takiug ev erything valuable with thorn, and the passengers hailed us with shouts of jov aud sighs of relief. The initials at the end of this do not belong io me, but to one who cooly listened to my ytury, as I told it in'lie company’s office at Los Angeles.— Youth's Compan ion. • "Sambo," said the Judge, "you are charged with s eal'ng two chickens from your neighbor Mr. Brown.

Not Alter tlie Jug A day or two ago a report was whispered along the docks that a jug containing I gallons of brandy had slipped oft'the wharf at the foot of first street, and wa* at Hie bottom of the river Within au hour after Ihe information had reached the first pair of eats a mau came sauntering down upon the dock with a sort <f grapnel attached to a clothes lint, and as he caught sight of Ihe owner of 'he waiehouse he said. "Being that the ice is all out I'd like lo grapple for lhat gold watch lost Lore last fall.” H« was told to go ahead with all his might, but he had scarcely made ready when a second man arrived. He had an iron hook faH teued to a stout cord, and he promptly explained. "Being as I r.ad nothing to do to day 1 thought I’d try and look up oue o' them grindstones that, tumbled in here las' fall. The two were work ng away wi h their lines when a third man put in ail appearance.

It wasn't over a quartet of au hour before a fourth man arrived He had an irou rake at ached to a long pole, and as he found the trio at work he sung out; “Well, now, but if any of you fellers find the shot-gnu I lost here last summer I’ll set up the drinks."
