It belongs to the railway manager. He ought' to tell it, but ,ho won't. A railway manager •will not admit in print that trains are ever "held 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 oannot write it down in such a way as to indicate tho snap and go of the nar rative told us by the railway manager, for he was drunk at the time, and no sober man, with a pen in his hand, can emulate the eloquence of a railway managor when the champagne flows. Of course a sober railway manager would not tell an incident that might frighten traffic away from his road, so you liavo to learn these" things from them when "IVhat's the rom heir?" they are half seas over. The stcry is strictly true, because I related it to the manager next day (he was suffering from headache), and he admitted its ac curacy. He implored me not to tell the story, and I will not. I merely write it. Hang man who won't keep his pledged word with 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 picturosquo line and gets itself tan gled up among tho mountains in tho most bewildering way. The train puffs and staggers up awful grades, winds and twists and doubles 011 itself in the most confusiug fashion, goes round and round cupliko depressions, and seems, in general, not to know where it is go ing but, like the person in the song, it 'gets there just the same. Tho road passes through some pretty rough settlements, but there are civiliza tion and wealth at each end of the line, and these enable tho railway to pay a good salary to tho manager, although I never heard that it so far forgot itself to pay any dividends to the share holders. Well, one day there wero a lot of na bobs going east, and as tho manager was also traveling in that direction he ordered 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 tho manager. If tho manager is a prohibition man—but, then, what is the use of discussing tho improbable? Tompkins knows them all and he says a railway manager is con tent if the engine drivers and trainmen are teetotalers without carrying the temperance fad to extremes. By ex tremes Tompkins means the rear end of the train, where the manager's private car is coupled. Anyhow I am given to understand that tho interior decorations of a manager's car are very fino and ex pensive, including artistic effects in Burgundy, dry champagne, fine, deli cato 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 peo pie were going east to see their folks, many of the travelers having considera ble amounts of money on them. Besides this there was $400,000 in the safe of tho express car going through to- New York. This fact made the manager trifle anxious, and it was one of the causes that were bringing him east. However, the train would be out of the mountains while it was still daylight, BO the manager felt no real anxiety. All the nabobs who amounted to any thing were in his private car, and they were enjoying themselves, as people should during that festive season, but not, if I understood Tompkins aright, entirely by admiring tho 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 the whistle, a sudden scrunt of the airbrakes, and the train, with an abruptness that was just short of an ac cident, stopped. "What's up?" cried everybody. "I don't know," said the manager, getting a little pale around tho gills. "You all stay here, and I'll go out and see.'' It need hardly be said that none of the passengers knew of the money in tho express car. The manager stepped down from hia private coach at tho rear, and the mo ment he looked toward the front of the train he saw his worst fears were real ized. Just ahead of the locomotive, on tho rails, was a huge pile of logs and railway ties. Standing around the en gine and the express car was a group of the most villainous looking mountain eers the manager had ever seen, deter mined and desperate men, who could put r. bullet in a man half a mile away. All wero armed with their long rifles, and two had their weapons at their shoulders, while the trembling express messenger and the engineer stood with their hands above their heads. "What's wrong?" cried a nabob who had followed the manager out. "Everything's wrong. We're hold up, that's what's wrong. Go back and toll tho rest to conceal their valuables. know what they're after. There's nearly $500,000 in gold on board. I'll go forward and parley with them as long as possible, so as to givo you time, imagine that if they break open the ,fe they'll be in a big hurry to get away and will leave the passengers alone. Still, I don't know, so warn ev erybody. There is no question but the manager •was a brave man. He went briskly for ard, as if nothing particular was rong and it was all a little mistake that could be explained away in a few words. As he walked tho length of the train ho mado up his mind to sacrifice the $400,000 if by so doing ho could pre vent bloodshed and further robbery. What's tho row here?" ho cried cheerfully as ho approached tho gloomy group of mountaineers. "Who are you, anyhow?" asked the man who was "covering" the express messenger. "Who am I? I'm tho manager of this railroad. What do you fellows mean by stopping one of my trains?" The man lowered his rifle and looked at tho manager. "What's the matter with you?" add ed Tompkins. The matter's just this, Mr. Mana ger. You run the gol darndest railroad in all creation. That's what's the mat ter, an wo ain't a-goin to stand it no longer. I don't mind your trainmen throwin coal at my dog, I don't mind em sassing my wifo an makin fun of my clothes, but when it comes to moil keying with my whisky I'm dod gasted if I'm a-goin to stand it. The other mountaineers nodded their approval of these sentiments. "Monkeying with your whisky? What do you mean?" cried tho bewil dered manager. I mean just what I say. They can throw coal at my dog, they can sa=s my"— "Yes, yes, but I don't understand about tho whisky. What have my men to do with your whisky?" "Why, don't you know, and you manager of the road? Well, moonshine whisky's all right enough ordinary days, but we alius has good old Ken tucky for Christmas. Day before yester day I gavo your man in this here kyar a jug an .$2 to bring me some prime Kentucky from town fur Christmas. Yesterday bang through goes your train, jug an whisky an all, an never stops. Now, wo ain't a-goin to stand that from no road that ever tooted a whistle to scare the steers. I said I'd bet my boots next train'd stop, an she has. I don't allow no man to monkey with my liltker. He kin sass my wife an chuck coal"— "See here," said tho manager to the expressman, "did you take his $2?" 'Twan't me," said the messenger. Must have been Bill Simmons on No. 9, and she must have gone through with out stopping yesterday.'' "Then all you want is your whisky?" asked tho manager, with a sigh of re lief. "Fair's fair, boss. 'Tisn't Christian like to drink moonshine this time of tho year. Besides he's got my $2 an the jug-" "That's all right," cried the mana ger. "Have we got a jug on the train?" "Here's one," said the mountaineer, taking a jug from behind a log. They had been refreshing themselves while waiting for the train. The manager grasped it by the han dle, turned it upside down and let the remains of the 'moonshine'' gurgle out, to tho. horror of the mountaineers. Then he started through the train, shouting: "Here, you men with flasks! I want half your stock! Pour it in here and bo glad to get off so cheaply!" Every man who had a bottle produced it, and before Tompkins had gone through two cars the jug was brimming full. He went back to the leader, who now allowed tne engineer ana express man to hold down their hands. "Taste that," said Tompkins. The mountaineer smacked his lips aft er sampling the contents. "That's a good blend,'' he said, with solemn rev erence. "Blend? You bet it's a blend. I've blended it myself. There's a sample of every known brand in the States there. Now, tomorrow I give you my word I I rv want half your stock." that No. 9 stops and unships your jug, or there'll be a row. Ia that all right?" "It's all right, boss, said the leader, who had given the word. Thereupon his lank company had flung the old ties and tree trunks clear of the track. "You're a white man, if you are the manager of this road. An your men oan make fun of my clothes an sass my wife all they've a-mind to an heave the company's coal at my dog as Ions they know you ain't a-goin to let 'em mcakey with my whisky."
