The Denver express was due in Colo- rado Springs at 7 o'clock p. m. on Sat- urday, May 15, but she was nearly two hours late. Iiewever•, a fresh engine, re'ndy coaled and watered, with a full head of steam, was ready and waiting. The mail bags and newspaper bundles were flung out before the train fairly stopped, the half dozen invalids for the, famous sanitarium disembarked, and in five minutes the "Thunderbolt" was once more on its way, the dying fires of day lingering on the summit of Pike's peak away to the westward in full view of our friencls In the Miranda as the express cleared the town and once more breasted the desolate ribbon of track on the last lap for Denver, 75 Miles away.

In the Miranda the following was the situation: Mrs. Hurst was dozing is a wicker chair. John Draper and Fior- .•ence were playing a desultory game of .chess, while Madge and Cbester were simply doing nothing but making love, and that without any attempt at con- cealment, If Madge had told the truth now she might have written back to her "dearest Fan" that two weddings were in prospect.

Six miles north of a little place cell's ed Greenland the trach makes a suil� den bend to the west, and then just be. fore Palmer Lake is reached as quieklp turns nearly due east and begins the long ascent of one of the steepest places on this part of the road. The great engine puffed and pulled, and ev" ery coupler and pin told of the sagging strain of the beavy train compose mainly of Pullman coaches. Slower and slower became the speed until at length the bead of the grade wad reached, the track for a mile being then quite level Lefore commencing the descent of a down grade nearly not quite as steep as the one just sur, mounted. Here was situated a watering tank, and here No. 89 paused for a drink. At this instant a man, all dusty and begrimed, crept from under the trucks of the Airanda. A half dozen human figures appeared as if by magic from the desert shadows at the side of the track. Dalton himself leaped noiseless - tyon the platform of the private carand with one stroke of his keen knife sev+ ered the bellrope, deftly knotting the two ends to prevent their sagging to either car. In an instant the air coup- ling:; were disconnected; so that the Miranda was held to the rest of the train by the coupling pin only, Two of the gang then ran to tile rear platform of the Pullman, two more stowed themselves away on the rear steps of the Miranda, while Dalton and the rest remained on the front platform, guns in hand, ready to menace any one who might appear from tbe cars ahead. But the stop was such a slight one and the station such an insignificant affair that no one troubled to get out. Two short blasts of the whistle, and the ex- press was in motion again. Scarcely had the lights of the station faded from sight when Dalton yanked the chain of the coupling pin, and the en • gine and cars shot into the blackness away from the -Miranda and her escort. As a result the trwo coaches soon slack- ened speed and came almost to a stand- still. Then there was a sudden jolt as the Miranda took the disused switch, and immedately the speed increased again, but the hoarse cough of the loco- motive was gradually dying away in the distance, and tbo motion of the cars became of a gentle sliding nature. Chester sprung to his feet and peered out 0f the window. "Uncle John" look- ed up from his game, while Madge and Florence excitedly exclaimed, "What Is it?" Then Mrs. Hurst awoke and added her questions and ejaculations to the rest of the clamor. 13y this time it was plain to all that something out of the ordinary was going on. Chester ran to the forward door, but found it fastened. Meanwhile the ears were moving at a fair spsed ova, a rough and uneven trot'., beim evidently eontt•oiled by means of the basil brakes. After per- haps 2t) neautoe of this suspense the pave slowly ,tae!;cued, and the win- dows meleit'd the uncertain flickering 1lr;ht of a toreb ll: sine back and torch. Then there' ems n sudden grindIii of the brakes. tae souud of rangh voices giving quick commands. a jolt, and all was quiett In vain the ladies implored to know what had happened.

This is what had happened. The Dal• Ion gang had stolen the Miranda and the Pullman) When No. 89 pulled out from the wa- ter tank, the two ears. as we have seen, were held to the rest of the train by a single coupling pin only. .lust be- fore reaching the old switeb they were disconnected, when the main body of the train shot away on the down grade. which was the reason that the engineer did not imutediattly discover the loss of part of his load.

The railroad people Haight find tate sown. Talk of consummate daring! Ens Ines have been stdlen again and again, train robberies there have been without number where a handful of gritted des- peradoes "held up" and held at bay an entire train crew and a bundred pas- scugers, the latter being stripped of their valuables, but robbers had never before been knower to attempt to get away with a train Itself or part of a train. Dalton slapped Itis leg and chucked with glee at the success of his plan so far, The rest, be thought, would be comparatively plain sailing. When the Aiiranda and tbe Pullman carne to a standstill, guards wore post- ed all around the ears, two on each platform, five or six on eack aide, some 13 or 20 in all, with strict orders to prevent any one getting away. As the doors were securely barricaded from without the only possible chance for escape was through the windows. Within the Miranda all was dismay. The brightly lighted interior --the car bt' its own gas tank—only served to antes the darkness outside more palpa- ble and intense. After the ear carne to a final stop and It was discovered that the doors were fast Draper and Ches- ter both rushed to a window, but on opposite sides of the car. Scarcely had the sashes been flung up than there Came the peremptory command: "Suet that winder!" accompanied by the ominous click of a Winchester. Draper obeyed, but Chester tried to parley. The only answer he received was the reiterated command: "Shet that winder and shet It domed quick!" Though bas blood boiled with Indigna- tion at being thus caught like rats In a trap, Cllester was compt';"ed to obey out of regard for the feelings of the Ia- There came the perempto'p command, "8/tet that win arra. dies buddled together in the middle of the car, who begged hint to come away before he was shot.

Rec An Ideal Remedy IAS W. ti, BOND, Eso, Lloydtowu,rOnt., March. 19th, nom "For some years 1 Lave been greatly troubled with headaches and indiges. lion, brought on by stomach disorders, cotistipntioa and biliousness. I had tried many remedies with only indiffer- ent success, until "Vruit-a-tives" came to my notice. Being a general store- keeper, I was selling a good many "Fruit-a-tives" to my customers and, remarking how pleased they were with the results obtained from using"Fruit- a-tives," I decided to try them and, I might say, the effects were almost magical. Headaches and biliousness disappeared and to -day I recommend "Fruit-a-tives" to my customers as 'An ideal remedy.' "I might. also add that about three years ago I was laid up with LUM- BAGO AND SCIATICA—couldn't get nut of bed or lift one foot over the ,,cher. A good treatment of "Fruit-a- tives" cured me of these pains and banished the Sciatica and Lumbago so that to -day I am as well as ever and can lift anytl;liug necessary." (Signed) W. S. BOND. Mr. Draper in a low one. Going to her side, she drew him to the window, and there, peering out, the forms of five or six men could be seen standing and lounging about, while to and fro paced those on guard. The cars were completely invested. There was evi- dently an animated colloquy going on, and voices could be beard In excited argument. One of the men raised his arm and pointed overhead and around. Then another of the gang came to the side of the ear and tapped on one of the saloon windows with his gun barrel. "Open th' winder!" he shouted. Ches- ter obeyed and thea demanded: "What do you want?" "Them lights has got to be put outs" Every ear in the Miranda was on the alert, and a chorus of protests came from the Iadies. "Keep us In the dark! What a per- fect shame!" said Mrs. Hurst. "Whoever you are," said Chester, "re- member that there are ladies on board. They are already terrified beyond en- durance, and darkness will only in- crease their alarm:" "Carnt help It, bass. Them lights is too bright:" A confirmatory murmur came from half a dozen throats in the darkness. Chester tried one more ap- peal. "We can pull down the shades. Won't that do?" The figure turned round and address- ed some words to his unseen confeder- ates, and an earnest discussion ensued, during which Chester caught such fragments as: "Too much blomin gaslight!" "Reg'lar Fourth o' July illumina- tion!" "See it from one end o' the gulch to th' other!" "Put 'em out, I says!" At length the leader of the gang—for it was Jim Dalton who spoke—came under the window again and said: "Only one !shin''' be allowed, and you'll pull dons theta shades:" Ives was about to parley again, hop- ing to gain some explanation as to the meaning of the strange events of the past couple of hours, when John Dra- per thrust his 'lead into the narrow *pelting and began: "You impudent rascals"— "Shut that winder!" came the eurt command, emphasized as before, and feeling two soft hands on bis shoulder dragging him away, he turned to be- hold Florence, who had followed him into the saloon. "Do not expose yourself," she said, as she drew him into the interior, and for her sake he desisted. lyOS let the sash fall with an angry snap, saying with a grim laugh, "There's no use arguing with a man when he's at the trigger end of a gun end you are looking into the business end!" and then went about the car low- ering ail the lights but one and draw- ing down the heavy damask shades. "Why, where's Mr. Bliley?" sudden« ly exclaimed Madge. Sure •eirougb, w'her'e teas he? They looked in each other's fakes as if to recall when he had previously been seen. TTh ea it oral remembered that bis last appearance was et dinner. "And henry and Aleck, tot,"' added Uncle John. "Doubtless they are as snugly trap= pod to the other cat as we are," laugh- ed Chester. To make certain Chester event to the rear door of the Miranda and peered through the glass, Yes; the Pullman was there sure enough, shrouded ix gloom, but with their backs to the doors stood A couple of guards, motion.- less as statues, with the butts of their rlfles resting on the platforttts.. "No chance to homniubteate, that's certain," thought Chester. "Mete the fellow's all safe, thong''.' At least there was nothing to prevent the prisoners froth tnot•]ag about in the car with perfect freedom, f`'*turelty enoulll, no one eared to Sleep, Meeh less to think of going to lied. 4.1! con- ventional disgulses were throne' aslde in this bour+of peril. Draper and II'lors once strolled from one e;aci to the others arm in arm, he stroking anti patting the little hand that lay on his sleeve as he strove to reassure her and quiet her alarms. In their wake came Mpdge and Chea, ter, likewise linked closely, he talking hopefully and consolingly, while Mrs. Hurst sat by and sold never A word. Luckily feunette, the maid, and Gus, tave, the cook, Were with the party IP tite Miranda, and when the latter had been dragged out of his buffet, the door of which, with Gallic prudence, he had shut and locked at the first intimation of danger, be was prevailed upon to set about preparing some refreshmeutst for it was now past midnight, For the tenth time at Ieast Florenee voiced tite question: "Wat do you suppose they mean tO do with us?" and for the tenth time John Draper mule answer: "I can't imagine. But," he Contin. ued after a pause, "it's my opinion that we shall not be kept in doubt. Thee will show their hands at dawn." Nor was he mistaken. Faint tinges of grayness began to outline the maps be -4 twecei the shades and the glass when there was a sudden bustle outside and tbe sound of comtnands delivered in strident tones. Then came the tramping of feet on the steps of the Pullman. Draper and Ives sprang each to a window and flung up the curtains. .Yes, the dawn was all abroad, though as yet no clear idea of their whereabouts could be gleaned. Brit the Iiglit was sufficient to enable them to perceive Filley, Hen- ry and Alec standing by the track side by side, their arms pinioned behind them and blindfolded. This, then, was what they, too, might expect. In a few moments a noise was heard at the front door of the Miranda, and almost immediately :It was Sung open with a crash that shook the car, and then the command was given: "Step out here, John Draper, and pretty darn quick!" "Don't gal Oh, don't• got" begged Florence, grasping htettegro, to Mich plaint Airs. Hurst added her plea. Draper stood irresolute. Them a quick . footfall was heard, and Jim Dalton apt., peered in the curtained doorway, car-' bine in hand. "Did you hear me call?" he thunder. ' ed. "John Draper, I want you! No one's goin to hurt you, man! Onless you want to be carried out you'll walk out!" Gently releasing Flo's grasp he led her to Mrs. Hurst and with a nod all around stepped out ahead of the rob -1 ber leader. On the platform he was seitzed by two of the gang, who rapid. ly searched him for concealed weap-i ons, taking away even a small pen- knife, and then proceeded to pinion' his arms and blindfold him. This done I lie was led to a place alongside Filley and told to "keep his mouth shet!" Chester was subjected to the same! treatment, and then came Gustave's turn. The poor Frenchman made lots of sport for the band, falling on his; knees and begging for his life, be-; seeching them not to "coot treat" un- til at last he was forced to rise by a well placed kick in the nether regions, and ranged alongside the five other un- happy masculines. Sullen despair sat on Filler's counte- nance. Ile saw all his plans dashed to !finders by this entoward break In their journey. At this• instant he had hoped to have been 'sound eastward on' the fastest express, and he cursed John Draper by all kis gods for having drag-! ged shim out west at such a time. Cowl sequently he telt none of the tndigna tion experienced by Draper and Ivesi when they were forced to stand by and; know that rough hands were being laid on the women they loved, while they, were powerless for help or defense.' Chester ground his teeth and strained, at his bonds until they cut into his coat sleeve. The veins in Draper's neck and forehead swelled, and he grew purple in the face with suppress- ed rage. "You infernal villains!" he roared,' and then could have bitten hit tongue in half, for at that instant the voice of Florence Grannies became audible as she ;appeared at the car deer leading the little procession of four. Their captors bad forborne to pin- ion the ladies' assts, but they were blindfolded like the rest, nor, were they suffered to come near tbeir natural pro- tectors. "I can't stand this," exclaimed Ches- ter, as he started to run after the wo- men, the bandage having dropped from his eyes during his contortions. But he was speedily yanked backward and downward by one of tbe desperadoes, who proceeded to sit on his chest until Dalton himself came up an inquired: • "What's the row?" "Gettin a little obstropolus, that's all:" was the response. "Set him up," was the command. And then, addressing himself to Drar per and Chester, the captain of the' gang thus spoke: "Yon needn't be afeared that we're goin he harm them Indica o' yourn-* leastwy y e'v a s, not etl 'i� d got tf, little :tatter 0" business to settle with you Hien first, and we're goin where *et kin talk quiet and toniidentlal like," 1 "If you harm a hair of their heads you shall tray dearly," exclaimed Ches•r ter betty, and In the s*mo breath d'obz Draper uttered the words: "As Sure as there's a Ged in heaven you shall buffer for tbts, you hound'" A Sneering laugh Wee the only res 'sponse ae'the chief rascal gave the sig-, nal to tnarch.
