After satisfying themselves that I was unarmed, and warning me to make no call for help under penalty of immedi- ato death, they then ordered me to pro- duce the monay orders, which I immedi- ately did. I had by this timesomewhat recovered from my Burprise, and had come to the conclusion that their intention was to compel mo to issue monoy orders paya- ble to bearer, so they could be cashed elsowhore, and they would therefore make a larger haul with less danger to themselves than they would by taking the blank orders and the insignificant amount of cash that was in the offic the time; this, I concluded, was an pl.umlmu for their apparent magnanim- ity in *‘nov wanting my money.” and iy conjecture proved to be correct, by w followed. “*We want no funny business now, but want you 1o writo ‘out some of them orders, and do it blamed quick, too.” Suddenly o s:heme flashed on my muul by which, if I could only make it work, ['could yet frustrate their plans; 50, in as brave a voico as I could muster up, I said, *What amount do you wunt them made out for? “‘Heh?” said the spokesman. “What amount do you wish the orders made out for, sixty dollars oach?” I asked. “Ye sixty dol will do,” said he, “M thém payable to bearer,” ho further added, and for the next hour I steadily filled out money orders *pay able to bea for the amount of $50 ench.

After hav! completed tying my arms and f curely and tying a handkerchief ov my mouth, they extinguished the lamps and with mock politeness bade me good ht; then locking the door with the which they had tiken from my pocket, they depurted, taking with them my telegraph instrument, The sound of their horses hoofs had searcely died out when I had the hand- kerchiel worked off my mouth, which wes dona by hooking it on a nail that projected from the mopbourd, and roll- ing away from it; but try as I would [ could loosen neither my hands nor my feet. It wus mearly train time, I was cer- tain, and hoped to soon be releaged from my present difficulty. 1 knew that it would be useless to attempt to make my- self heard by any one in the town, as there was not one chance in one hun dred of any one coming within hearing distance of the station at that time of the night, as the station was sit nearly a balf mile from the ne building in the town. My only hope seemed to be to make the bestof the situation until the train should arrive, when I could no doubr make the train crew hear me, and explain the situation and have them release me, Time sped on and still no train came. A storm had been threstening all the evening, and it at last broke forth in all its fury, For fully two hours nothing was heard © the incessant beating of the rain and an occasional peal of thun- der. Presently some one tried the door of the waiting room and called my pame. 1 recognized the voice of the section foreman, who on account of the storm had come down to look after the track.
