terror to law-abiding citizens, and no jury
could be found to convict the most heinous

of the twelve jurors were in favor of bring-

.As a natural consequence of living in such
a state of sociefir, every man walked abroad
with his life in his hand, and without a sin-
gle exception every one went armed to the
teeth- Ihave known men to be shot down
like dogs for a word, or even a look.

. There were hundreds of men who made
it their special business to try to pick up
quarrels with the better class, that they
might have a chance of killing and robbing

You will readily understand that carrying
on a bank under these circumstances was a
most arduous task. Every one’of the em-
ployees was heavily armed, and the vaults
bui t for the specie and valuables of the bank
were of the most massive character. In fact
so much was this the case that they became
a kind of a show place for strangers; and

the city was sure to visit the vaults of the
Citizens’ bank. , . .

Our president was a strong, powerful, en-
ergetic man, who had more than once proved
his courage in a melee; consequently the
ruflians of the place kept him at a distance,
and for two years after the bank was
"started no one offered to molest us. We had
orders from him to shoot down the first man
that showed the slightest disposition to be
troublesome.

Mr. ‘ Braintree, for such was our presi-
dent’s name, was accustomed to mingle a
great deal with the rougher portion of
the community, thinking by this means
he might learn if there was any scheme on
foot to‘attack the bank. Of course, these
iflquiries were always made in disguise, and,
indeed, Mr. Braintree possessed the art of so
altering his features that he could deceive
even his own family and particular friends

when assisted by the aid of dress. . ”
He had carried out his plan for about two
cars without anything occuri'ing to prove

genuit of man i” ,
At t at moment Mr. Braintree called the
clergyman to see something else in the stone
vault, and they moved away to the extreme

end of the apartment. ‘

0n glancinginto the safe I noticed that

two ledgers we out of thcif places. I en-

tered the safe'to place them in their respec-

tive cases, when either the clergyman or Mr.

sclously knocking against-the door as he did
so, which gave it such an impetus that it
closed on me, and the bolts slid noiselessly
into the sockets and I was a prisoncf.

There was an acoustic phenomenon cOn-
nected With this safe which I never heard-
eprlnlned, and that was, any one shut in-
‘sxde it could hear every word that was nt-
tered in the vault, while no noise‘ that' he
might make could reach the outside. I was
aware of that peculiarity, and knew that it
was utter] useless for me to call out. The
only hope had was, that when Mr. Brain-
tree missed me he would surmise where I
was. But to a few moments this illusion
was dispelled.

“Wh , where can Mr. Archer be?” I
r: Braintr‘ee observe. “ Oh, I re
member,now,hc had an engagement after ,
bankinghours, and I suppose he has gone
to keep it; but I think he might have left
the lantern with me. But we ‘can find our
way out easy‘enough.” -

I heard them leave the vault, the iron bar
put up in its place, and the key turned in
the padlock. I‘rcalizcd that there was no
hope for me. I was a prisoner, and there I
had to remain until Monday morning.

It Iwosno pleasant thing to contemplate
remalumg shut up there forty-two hours

'without food or water; but there was no

help for it, for I knew that all the screaming
in the wCrld would only be so much breath.
wasted. I therefore determined to take‘
matters as philosophically as I collld, and

not indulge in useless repining.

Fortunately I had in my pocket a volume

of Shakespeare, and the dark lantern was also

in my possession. I made a seat for myself

of some ledgers, and turning down the lamp

to a point at which I could read 'conveni-

ently, I began to enjoy myself as well as the

Braintree brushed past the safe,.uncon- ,

teeth. I thought this was 'a favorable time
to wake up, and I did so. It immediately
transpired that I might better have stayed-
where l was, and taken the chances with the
saw.
I found myself sitting strai ht u in bed
with one hand spas'modicaliyggraslping my
jaw, and the other swaying to and fro with-
out any apparent cause.
It was an awful pain. It shot round like
a dog that had been cruelly camphened. It
bored like lightning through the basement
of my jaw, darted across the roof of my
mouth, and then.ran lengthwise of \my
teeth. If every pang had been a drunken
plow chased by a demon across a stump lot,
thlnk the observer would understand my
condition. ‘I could no more get hold of the
fearful agony that was cavortlng around in
me, then I could pick up a. piece of wet
soap when in a hurry. ' 2
Suddenly it stopped. Igwent, gi ' me
a parting k‘ that fairl made me a.
. I though was rid o the teethache, but
‘9' grumbling set in next morning. "It was
just like the feeling of the night before;
and a still voiéc said to me, “ Look out,
Perkins.” ' .
I did. I went right away to the dentist
who has pulled the teeth of our family and
knew our peculiarities. There was an un- -
easy smell about his oflice.. -It was very
suggestive of trouble, and as I snuffed it in

‘ I experienced a sinking feeling in the pit of

my stomach. I looked at him, and sickly ‘
smiled. He was never, even on a. holiday,
the handsomest of men, but now his a
pearance -was very, veg depressing. e
lookedlikea corpse wi a lighted candle
inside of it. .

I told .him what the matter was with me,
how that I had been up all. night with a.
four-story pain; how ‘my wife had been
thrown out of-bed by the violence of my
suffering; how—

He asked me if I wouldn’t sit down. I ,.

.sat down'on what was oncea hogshcad, '

but now out down and newly carpeted. He
held back my head, opened my mouth, and
wen: tofishini around inside with a piece
of- watch spr g. ,

And while he angled, he conversed. Said

The one irreparable 093 from the late

struction of villages nor of city. Human
life is, of course the oneiloss that claims
precedence ofall- others; but-leavin that
out of the question, the loss we sbai feel
most certainly and most deeply is the de-

will be rebuilt long before tha destruction
can be made good. Ten years will make
over again that great center of trade and
industry. Its streets will be as bustling,and
its business men -as'driving as before the

can not be hurried, and this generation: at
least will pass away before the woods can
recover themselves. I ,

It is by no means as so muchlumber that
the trees are most valuable to us._ Their
value as lumber is, of course, enormous to
us, but the living- trees are ultimately of
more consequence to us than the felled ones.
A great tract of forest like that destroyed

an enormous extent without inducing seri-

“ You have heard of ‘ White Haired Bob-
by ?” said Mr. Braintrce.
“ Do you mean the great bank robber?” '
I asked.
“ Yes, he himself. He has robbed more
banks than any ten men in the United
States. He has never fafled in one instance.
His success in breaking into safes and vaults
has something marvelous in it. He works
generally in company with a friend of his
IvithoIgoes-by the m de guerre of ‘ Slippery
lm.
“ I.have heard of that rascal, too,” I re-
turned.
“ Well, now for my information. I learned
last 'night that White Haired Bobby and
Slippery Jim are about to visit Milwaukee
for the ,express purpose of depriving the
Citizens’ bank of its specie and valuables.
“ The deuce they do," was all I could say.
“Mr. Archer, I do not intend that this
worthy pair shall accomplish their purpose,
so I want you to keep an extra look-out. I
shall visit the ‘ Three Swans’ nightly for
some weeks, to find out, if possible, the mo-
ment they arrive.” .
Six weeks passed away and we heard 'no
moreof “White Haired Bohb ” or “ Slip-
ery Jim.” Mr. Braintree continued to'visit
the “ Three Swans” nightly, but heard
nothing further. We came to the conclu-
sion that the two famous bank robbers had
chan ed their minds, and had gone to exer-
cise tieir enterprising profession in a differ-
ent field. , .
, We had forgotten all about the matter,
when one Saturday, in the middle of the
month of September, while we were busily
engaged in our various duties, a clerical in-
dividual entered and asked to sec‘the presi-
dent. The request ‘was addressed to me,
and I had an excellent opportunity for. 0b-
scrving his external appearance.
He appeared to be about-forty years of
age, of commanding. presence. His face
was fresh, fair, and exceedingly good look-
ing. His hands were very white, and he
wore a diamond ring on the little finger of .
the right hand. He was dressed in a suit of
black, which fitted him erfectly, and must
have been made by a rat-class tailor. It
was this black suit, together with the whitest
and stiffest of cravats, and' a short-sighted
eye-glass which dangled fro his neck, and
which be every now and th it raised to his
eyes, that gave ,to him the intense clerical
appearance to which I have referred above.
' “ Do you wish to see Mr. Braintree on
business? ” - '
“Not exactly on business,” returned the
stranger; “ but if he is disengaged, I should
like to speak to him.” , , .
“ Here is Mr. Braintree new,” I replied,
.as the president stepped out of his ‘private
room into the bank. , ,1
“ Mr. Braintree,” said the stranger, cour-
teously removing his hat and speakmg'in
the most polite tone, ‘5 allow me to intro-
duce to self. My name is Elliot, the Rev-
erend obe‘rt Elliot, I am an Episcopal
clergyman, lately, a pointed pastor of a
church in St. Paul. am now on my way
there, but cannot leave until Monday. At
my hotel. to-day,I heard the laindlord speak
of the extraordinary safct vault you have
attached to this bank. As have a penchant
for’seeing such structures, I have thought,
.perhaps, you would allow me to see yours,
of. which ,I have heard so much."
. “ Certainly, air, with pleasure,” replied
,Mr. Braintree. who, by the way. was par-
ticularly partial to clergyman, doubtless be-
cause the formcd such a striking contrast
to the in abitants of frontier cities. “Mr.

glanced at my watch and found to my ex-
treme surprise that it was‘exaclly 12 o’clock
at night. »

. By some intuition the truth struck me in
a moment. It was some one come to rob
the bank, and the reverend visitor of the day
before was a spy, ~
The first words I rd copfirmed the
truth of this conclusion, or I heard the Rev.
Mr. Elliot’s voice exclaim to his confeder-
ate: ‘ . -- '
“Well, here we are in the famous stone'
vault. Do you know, Jim, we got in- much
easier than expected.” '
“ Thanks to your visit on Saturday after-
noon, Bobby, as one of the black-coated
entry."

The robbers were, then, the famous

“White Haired Bobby” and “Slippery Jim.”

“Yes,” returned Bobby, “ I think I gam-
moned the two buffers pretty well. You
see, Jim, what it is to be a man of educa-
tion. I should just like to see you in the
part of the Rev. Mr. Elliot, and see what a
figure you’d cut in it.” '

“ That ain’t in my line, no how; but I tell
on what, Bobby, you can’t beat me at pick-
ing a lock.” . _ ' =
“You are pretty goodpt that, and no mis-
take. But come, let us get at the swag.”
“You are sure on haven’t forgotten How
to open .the safe, obby ?” — ’ ‘

.“ No”, indeed; the fool told me that it was
by turning the handle around seven times.
Of all the blessed babbies I ever saw, 1
never saw any to come up to this man Brain-
tree.

I saw that it was now time for me tvct.

Fortunately, I had my pistol with me. I
drew it from- my pocket, cocked it, and
turned up the lamp to its full. I waited for
the door of the safe to be opened, realizing
fully that my only chance of overpowering
the two rufiians was to take them by sur-
prise, for if I allowed them to recover them;
selves from the sudden effect of my appear-
ance, they, being two to one, would soon
overpower me.
I had not long towait. I heard the ban-
die turn seven successive times, and then
Bobby gave a strong pull at the heavy door
of the safe.
It yielded, but in a moment I stepped out
with the dark lantern turned full upon the
robbers, and with my arm stretched out
holding the cocked pistol in my hanfig

The effect of my appearance on obby
and Jim was absolutely terrific. They must
have thOught me a ghost, for they both
turned perfectly livid with fear. . . ,
Before they had time to recover themselves
I knocked Jim senseless to the floor with
the butt, end of my pistol, and, springing
upon the other, I grasped him by' the throat
and bore him to the ground. .
‘ Fortune favored me in another respect.
for I saw hanging out of the pocket of the‘
rufiian I had under me a long piece of strong
cord. He struggled violently, but I was the
strongest man of the two, and succeeded in
binding him fast without much trouble.
When I had White Bobby secured I
turned my attention to his companion,who,
fortunately for me, remained in a condition
of insensi ility.

In 'five minutes I had them both 80' se-
curely bound th at they could not move hand
or foot. I left them while I went to arouse
the house. .

I proceeded first to-Mr. Braintree’s room. .
He slept over the bank. I knocked loudly
at his door.

The New York Citizen, edited b a. demo-
cratic member of Congress, tells e follow-
ing story: A entleman fiom New York
was dinlng wit a few friends in Rochester,
not long ago, when the conversation natur-
ally turned on New York affairs and the

 

charges of corruption against our municip-

al 0 cials. One of the guests was a. demo-
crat, and was quite silent, while the rest
being republicans were loud‘in their denun-
ciation of democrat- mi vernment. At
last the New Yorker, turning to the demo-
crat, asked what he had to say, and how
these matters affected him ? ' “Afi'ect'me,”
was the energetic reply, “I will tell you
how they affected me : I never let anybody
know that I am a democrat ifI can help it.

 

Annomv Hut—A correspondent of the
Herald and Pmbym, writing\fi'om Minnes

I have picked up a little story which I
think' too good a reproof for distal-bars of e
the peace in churches to be lost. A presid-
ing elder in the United Brethren church'
was preachin‘g in the same neighborhood,
and was much annoyed by persons talking
and laughing. He paused,looked at the
disturbers, and said: “jam always mind
to reprove those who misbehave in church.
In the car] part of my ministry I made a
great mista e. As I waspreaching,,a young
man who sat just before me wasconetantii

paused and administered a severe rebuke.
After the close of the service one‘of'the 0f-
ficial members came and ”said to me,
‘-Brother —-, you made a great mistake.
That young man whom you reproved is an
idiot.’ Since then I have always beenafi-aid
to re rove those who misbehave in church,
lest L should repeat that mistake and re-
provc another idiot.” During the rest of
that service at least there was good order.

It wanted about twenty minutes to our
usual hour of closing the bank, and 1 had
just finished my work. Had such not
been the case, I should in all probability
have sent one of the clerks in my place.
There was nothing, however, to prevent me
