HELD UP.
Tld<t Is not my story, and I have really
oo business to write it. It belongs to the
railway manager. He ought to tell it,
but he won't. A railway manager will
BO t admit in print that trains are ever
“heLl up” on his road, whatever may
happen on the opposition line. Thus it
comes that I have to set down the story,
who should not. Besides I cannot write
it down in such a way as to indicate the
map an,l ro of the narrative told ns by
the railway manager, for he was drunk
at the time, and no sober man, with a
non in Ins hand, can emulate the elo
quence of a railway manager when the
champagne flows.
Of course a sober railway manager
would not tell an incident that might
frighten traffic away from his road, so
♦on have to learn these things from them
when they are half seas over. The story
is strictly true, because I related it to
the manager next day (he was suffering
from a headache), and he admitted its
accuracy and said with a groans
•1 had no idea I drank so much as
that.”
He implored me not to tell the story,
and I will not. I merely writeit. Hang
a man who won’t keep his pledged word
witli even a railway manager!
The railway runs through a wild part
of North Carolina, and Tompkins had
been manager of it for some years. It is
a picturesque line and gets itself tangled
up among the mountains in the most be
wildering way. The train puffs and
staggers up awful grades, winds and
twists and doubles on itself in the most
confusing fashion, goes round and round
enplike depressions and seems in' general
not to know where it is going. But,
like the person in the song.it “gets there
just the same.” The road passes through
some pretty rough settlements, but there
is civilization and wealth at each end of
the line, and this enables the r'-tiWhy to
pay a good salary to the manager, al
though I never heard that it so far forgot
itself as to pay any dividends to the share-
holders.
Well, one day there was a lot of na
bobs going east, and as the manager was
also traveling in that direction he or
dered his private car hitched to the noon
express, and away they went.
A private car, the manager tells me,
differs from an ordinary coach and is
superior in some respects even to the
aristocratic Pullman. A good deal of
course depends on the manager. If the
manager is a prohibition man—but, then,
what is the use of disenssingthe improb
able? Tompkins knows them all, and he
says a railway manager is content if the
engine drivers and trainmen are teeto
talers, without carrying the temperance
fad to extremes. By extremes Tomp-
| kins means the rear end of the train,
where the manager’s private car is con-
| pled. Anyhow I am riven to under
stand that the interior decorations of a
manager's car are very fine and expen
sive, including artistic effects in.Bur
gundy, dry champagne, fine flelicate
brands of old Kentucky, cigars from
Havana and things of that sort.
The time of this memorable trip was a
few days before Christmas, and people
were going east to see their folks, many
of the travelers having considerable
amounts of money on them. Besides
this, there were $400,000 in the safe of
the express car going through to New
York. This fact made the manager a
trifle anxious, and it was one of the
causes that was bringing him east. How
ever, the train would be out of tbe moun
tains while it was still daylight, so the
manager felt no real anxiety.
All the nabobs who amounted to any
thing were in his private cp.r, and they
were enjoying themselves as people
should during that festive season, but
Dot, if 1 understand Tompkins aright,
entirely by admiring the scenery, al
though doubtless that added to their-
pleasure.
Just as they were in the roughest part
of the mountains there was a wild shriek
of tho whistle, a sudden clamp of the
Airbrakes, and the train, with an ab
ruptness that was just short of an acci
dent , stopped.
“What’s up?” cried everybody.
“I don’t know,” said the manager, get-
tbig a little pale around the gills. “You
stay here, and I’ll go out and see.”
It need hardly be said that none of the
passengers knew of the money in the ex
press car.
Tne manager stepped down from bis
private coach at the rear, and the mo-
tot nt he looked toward the front of the
bain he saw that his worst fears were
realized. Just ahead' of the locomotive
the rails was a huge pile of logs and
railway ties. Standing around the en-
and the express c;ir was a group of
jhe most villainous looking mountaineers
“• manager had ever seen—determined
f™* desperate men, who could put abul
ia a man half a mile away. All were
Jf^ed with their long rifles, and two had
ctr weapons at their shoulders, while
trembling express messenger and the

go forward and parley with them as long
as possible, so -.ut to give you time. I
imagine that if they break open the safe
they’ll be in a big harry to get away and
will leave i he passengers alone. Still I
don’t know, so warn everybody.’*
There is no question bnt the manager
was a brave man. He went briskly for
ward, as if nothing particular was wrong
and it was all a little mistake that could
' be explained away in a few words. As
he walked the length of tbe train, be
made up bis mind to sacrifice the $400,-
000 if by so doing he could prevent
i bloodshed and further robbery,
“What’sthe row here?” he cried cheer
fully as he approached the gloomy group
of mountaineers.
“Who are yon, anyhow?** asked the
man who waa “covering” tbe express
messenger.
Who am I? I'm the manager of this
railroad. What do yon fellowB mean by
stopping ono of my trains?”
The man lowered bis rifle and looked
at the manager.
“What*a the matter with yon?” added
Tompkins.
“Tbe matters just this, Mr. Manager.

Tbe other mountaineers nodded their
approval of these sentiments.
“Monkeying with your whisky? What
do yon mean?” cried tbe bewildered man
