Captain Alexander H. Lacy, the
veteran editor of Weatcllff, Colo., had
headed for home after visiting many
places In Missouri made personally In
teresting to him In the days of the
civil war.
While shaking hands with his many
old friends at Macon. Captain Lacy i
reverted to an Incident of 1S(V1, when
he was a railway postal messenger
handling tin* mail to and from the
? oast.
"1 am not a believer in dreams nor'
In gliosis." said Captain Lucy, "but I
till; is the way a warning came to me.
One night v.- lieu we reached St. Joo 1 j
was too lire.l to walk uround to thei
hotel and went to sleep on the sacks
lu the mail room. *1 awoke about!
ml Inlght lifter a distressing dream ofi
being carved Into small pieces by
guerrillas, llill Anderson's desperate
|.-ang had but recently annihilated
A! ijor Johusou's militia at Ccntralia
and shot down a train load of soldiers
there besides The whole country was
aghast at the atrocity. 1 told Con
ductor Harris and several of the crew
al? >ut it.
"They laughed and said I was get
ting woma'iisti. On the eastward trip
that day they ma'dc life a misery by
proposition she i had ever heard. I ex
plained tersely:
"'We're heid.up by Bill Anderson's
gnnp, and one/ of them has sworn to
take my life, lie knows I'm not mar
rled, and If you'? ?
"But pile understood by this time,
and It was not necessary for me to
say more. The average woman can
always be relied on to do the right
thing in time of peril. The civil wai
demonstrated that over and over again.
She passed her baby over to me to
help out the subterfuge. It was a
quiet, chubby little chap and made uo
protest over the chautce. The woman
sat close, with her hand resting care
lessly 011 my shoulder. By this tlm>?
the bushwhackers burst in like a tor
pedo. At the head was the deadliest
foe 1 ever had In the world. Unless
some one had pointed me out as the
messenger 1 was safe, but It seemed a
slender hope, as he made right for me
Then he stopped and glared down.
" 'That yo;ir man?' he asked the wo
man.
" 'Yes. sir,' she said promptly.
"Half a score of outlaws were crowd
lug up to us.
" 'Stand up and let's see how you
hold the baby!' the man commanded.
"My sister had a baby, and 1 had

putting their heads Into iu.\ depart
incut and saying. "Wheiv's them
bandits'/" At Hiiuncwcll, somewhat
more than half across the state, we
wore held until a wreck ahead of us
was cleared away. The suspense of
waiting brought the dream back with
double force, and I secreted the regis
tered mall and valuable packages
about rn.v clothes. Then I told Con
ductor Harris that I wasn't going any
farther down the road that day. He
questioned my courage, and this time
he was serious. I could not stand
that and resolved to stay with the
train.
"We had proceeded but a short dis
tauce before we were stopjied with a
Jolt. A stack of ties had been thrown
across the track, and we were sur
rounded by the toughest looking set of
buskwhackers I ever laid eyes on.
.They seemed to be shooting at every
thing ^ind everylnxly as they circled
around the traiu on their frantic
horses. I looked at them until I rec
ognized In the gang the brother of a
man I had run down when I was in
tho secret service.
"He did not know me personally, but
he knew the man who had chased his
brother was a mall messenger on the
steam end of the 'pony express.' If
anything was to be done It had to be
accomplished lu a hurry. I slipped out
of the mall car and made my way to
the rear coach. A young woman hold
ing an Infant gave me an Inspiration.
I went to her instantly.
" 'Madam.' I said, 'would you object
to my being your husband about flf
teeu minutes';'
"I have no doubt she meant It when
she said It was the most remarkable
V
acquired some practice, for which 1
? thanked a merciful heaven.
j "'Now ki s it.'
"My heart shot down In my hoots.
I tail lie naked me to kiss my alleged
wife I liaveu't the slightest doubt thai
hat good angel would have met the
ltuatlon promptly and satisfactorily
I But who knows the whim of a child?
The slightest Indication of disdain of
he tiny face would have meant a va
: oancy In Uncle Sam's postal service.
But the blessed baby didn't balk for
tn Instant. It turned Its little face to
ne. cooed ^nd touched lis lips to mine
I'hen It tbrcw one chubby arm arou:id
my neck and laid Its curly head upon
i ny shoulder. I was young then, and
j iny mustache had not become tierce.
The fellow w ho had been Angering bis
j revolver slipped it back in his belt.
As he turned away the mother reached
lor her little one, and 1 never saw a
baby get such a kissing.
"The gang got $50,000 In gold dust
out of the safe and took the engineer's
gold watch. There were two soldiers
on bonrd, but the women tore their
uniforms off and threw blankets over
them. Then they made them lie on
the seats and pretend to bs sick. To
; do the soldiers Justice, they wanted
, to tight the miscreants and would
; have faced the odds, great as they
; were, but the women forced them to
! play sick.
"One of the guerrillas found an ac
cordion In the possession of a passen
ger nnd Immediately appropriated It.
He seemed to be an expert |>erformer,
as he began playing as the troop rode
away, and the last we heard of them
was the mournful walling of the In
strument"
