still cries when weaned from uia classes and lounging at some watring place oh ikife me summer lasses opb sioar tbzlb ttaoe oriver8 8t0rt foarteea years ago i drove from danfcary to littleton a distance of fortytwo miles and ak i had to await tho arrival of two oc three couches aad did not stirt until after dinner l verr i often had a good distance to drive after dark it was in thedesd of winter and the aeaaon had been a tough one a good deal o snow hpd fallen drifts were plenty and deep the mail that i carried was not dae at littleton by contract until one oclock in- the morn log but that winter the postmaster was obliged to ait up a little later than that hour for me one day in january when i drove up for ray mail at danbury the post master called rite into his office pete said he with an important aeriooi look theres some ptetty beary nouey packages ill that bag and he pointed to it as he spoke he said the money was from boston to some land agents up near the canada line thee he asked me if id got any passengers who were going through to littleton i told him i did not koow bac i sapposa not says l why said fie the agent of the lower toad caoie in loday and he says that than were two suspicious charac ters on the stage that came up last night 4nd ha saspecljs that they have an eye oa this mail so it will stand you in hand to be a little careful this evening h said the agent had described one of them as a short thickret fellow boot forty years of age with long hair and a thick heavy clump of beaid under his chin but none on the side of hislface he did not knew anything about tbe other i told hiin i guessed there wasnt much danger oh no not if you have got pas senger all tho way through but i onle told yba this so that you might look out for your mail and also look sharp when you change horses i answered thac should dd an and then took the bag under my arm and left the office i stowed the mail away under my seat a little more carefully than usual placing it so that icottld keep my feet against it but beyond that i did not feel any concern it was past one when we started and i had four passengers two of whom rode only to my4ttt stopping place i reached gowana mills at dark where we had aapper and where my other passengers icluded to remain for the night wut six oclock in the evening i 3owans mills alone having seven teen miles to go and a hard seventeen it was too the night was quiteclear but the wind was shirp and cold the loose snow flying in all directions whilst the drifts were deep and closely packed it was slow tedious work and my horses soon hecame legweary and restive at the distance of six miles t came to a little settlement called bulls corner where i took fresh horses id been two hours going that distance as i was going to start a man come up and asked me if i was going through to littleton i said i should go through if the thing could possibly be done he said he was very auxious to go and as he had no baggage i told him to jump in and make himself as comfortable as possible i was getting up my lines when the hostler came up and asked me if i knew that one of my horses had cut himself badly i jumped out and went with him and found that one of the animals had gbta deep cork cot on the off fore foot i gave such direc tions as i considered necessary and was about to turn away when the hostler remarked that he thought i came alone i told that i did then where did you get that pas senger 1 said be he just got in i answered got in from where t i dont know wsll nowaaid the hostler thats u whole no 344 kind of curious there aiut been no such man at the house and i know there aint been none at any of the ueighbors lets have a look at his face said i we can get that much at any rate do you go back with me and whjni get into the pong just hold your lantern so the light will shine in his face he did as i wished andraa f stepped into the pung i got a fair view of such portions of my passengers fae as wero net muffled up i saw a shott thick frame full hardifeafures and i could almost see that there was aheavy beard under the chin tlhorght of tho rain whom the postmaster had described to irie but i did not think seriously upon it until i had started perhaps i had gone balf a mile when i noticed the mall bag wasnt in its place under my feet hallo aiya j holding up my horses a little wherea my mail 1 my passenger sat on a seat behind me ann i turned towards him here is a bag of some kind slipped back under my feet be saidjtring it a kick as though he would hove it forward just at tins raotnent my horses lumbered into a deevsnow drift and i was forced to gel out and tread down the snow in front of them and head them through it this took me all of fifteen minutes and whn i got in i pulled the mail bag forward and got my feet opon it as i was doing this i saw the man taking some thing from his lap beneath the buffalo and put intokis breast pocket this i tholight was a pistol i had caught a glimpse of a barrel in the starlight and when i had time to reflect i knew i could not be mistaken about this time i began to think somewhat seriously- from what ihad seen and heard i soon made up my mind that the individual behind me not only wanted to rob me of my inail but was prepared to rob me of my ufa tf i resisted him he would sbocjt me and perhaps he meant to perform that delectable operation at any rale while i was pandering the hotses plunged into another deep snow drift and i was again forced to get out and tread down the snow before them i asked my passenger if he would help me but he didnt feel very well and wouldnt try so i worked alone and was all of a quarter of an hour getting my earn through the drift when i got into tne sleiijh again i began to feel for the mail bag with my feet i fouud it where i had left it but when i attempted to withdraw my foot i discovered it bad become fast in something i thought it was the buffalo nd triedtofkick it clear but the more t kicked tbe more closely it held i reached dawn uif band and after feeling atound for a few minutes i found hat my foot was in the mail bag i felt again and found my hand in among the packages of letters and pipers i ran my fingers over the edges of the open ing and became assured that the stout leather had been cut with a knife here was a discovery i began fo wish i had taken a little more fore thought before leaving danbury hut as i knew making such wishes wss only a waite of time i quickly gave it up and began to consider what i had better do under existing circumstances wasnt long in making up my mind upon a few essential points first- the man behind me was a villain second he bad cat open tbe mail bag and robbed it of some valuable matter he must hare known the money letters by their size and shape third he meant to leave the stage on the first opportun ity and fourthly he was prepared to shoot me if i attempted to arrest or detain him i resolved these things in my mind and pretty soon thought of a coarse to pursue i knew that to get my hand safely upon the rascal i must take him wholly unawares and this i could not do while he was behind me for bis eyes were upon me all the time bo i must resort to stratagem ouly a litth distance ahead was a house and an old firmer named longee lived there and directly before a huge snowbank stretch ed across the road through which a track had been cleared with shovels as we approached the cot i saw light in the front room as i felt confi dent i should for the old man gener ally sat np until the stage went by j drove on and when nearly opposite tbe dwelling stood up as i bad frequently done when approaching difficult places i saw the snow band ahead and could distinguish tbe deep cut which bad been shovelled througlnt i urged my horsea to a good spwd ar whenj near tho band forced hem info it oqe of he rannera mounted tbe edge of- fie bank after which the other ran into the cut thus throwing the sleigh over about bajuick as though lightning had struck isf my passenger had not cal culated on any auch movement and wasnt prepared for it but i had calculated and was prepared he rolled out into the deep snow with a heavy buftulo robe about liira while i lighted directly on top of him pouncing his bead into the snow i sung- out or old lougee and the old farmer who bad been waiting to see roe pass had his lantern lighted and was with me in an instant whats lo pay i asked the old man as he came up lead tbe horses info tbe track and then come here 8peaking thua 1 1 partially loosened ruyjgrip upon the villains throat and he drw a pistol from his bosom fout seeing it in season bit head was jammed into the snow and tbe revolver taken away from him by this time lougee had led tbe horses out and come back and the matter was explained fo him in as few words aa possible we lunled tha rascal out into the road and up examination we- found abaci twenty packs j es of fetters whicfp he had stolen from the mail bsg and stowed away in his pockets j i he swere threatened and prayed but we paid np attention to his blarney lougea got tope atout cprd and when we had securely bound tbe villain we tumbled him into the purjg the old man said he would accompany me tfe littleton sod so we started we reached the eqd of the route with the mail all safe though not as snug as it might have been and my mail bags a little the worse for the game that bad been played npoti thetu however the mail robber was secure and within a week he was identified by some officers from concord as an old offender indj was sent to state pnaon where he yet remains so far as we koow i tbats tha only time i ever had any mail trouble and under the circum stances got out of even that one pretty well the sweet hjbpsib bt riocts1t v
