up a warning fin ger leat I should cry out in a star tled tone on opening my and so awaken the other children But I sat up quietly for was not- used to alarms and mysteries My father had long been one of those who aided slaves to escape and in that capacity- as- well as in bis business capacity of manager a railway which ran north and south he frequently had entertained secret guests and been called on at home when the general world was asleep 9 Louise said mother stooping over me and kissing my fath er wants you to go south With him today Why mother is father home He had been absent for more than a in my heart had been many times a fear that confederate raiders or sympathizers had captured or killed him me to you to him Not in those old things mother I said shocked for she held up an old dress old shoes and a dingy old petticoat Hie things I used for going on tramps with the boys lor berries and nuts Now not another word of objec tion dear Father wishes it You are going to be very useful to him today and she tied a faded ribbon on my hair and brought me an old hat that had long hung in the back hall She refused to let mo have my gloves stained my face neck ears hands arms faintly with walnut juice and altogether made me look like a fright But my young soul was up at tins idea of being use ful to father and moreover the mys tery of the disguise interested and pleased me so that I said not one more word of complaint Alter mother had given me some breakfast I went to in his study and he looked hard at me be fore he kissed me and said That will do very well Louise Then he told me the hardest thing You arc to ride in the day coach south al day I shall bo aboard and you will sec me often but you mo or give any matter what a man or several men holding me or He said nothing to me though and when I found my seat in the car I was ready to cry as I looked through front door at fathers private car and knew I miss alt the of a ride with Railway trains were slow then and stops many and long so it took ail day to go from our home in cen tre of the state to the end of the road on the Ohio River It was a strange day for- me The conductor took my ticket without a sign that he me I had gone too and on the road so often that I knew every station and many of the people who came aboard but that day all looked at mc as at a poor stranger girl Sometimes fa ther walked through the car and how I wanted one word from him even a look Thai was the hardest to have him pass without a- word or smile Yet in some way real ized he knew just what was in my heart all the time morning was quiet and at noon I ate the lunch I found in my shabby old basket This was the one mat ter in which mother had been she had given me fried en and iced cake and somesoft Oan- and two peaches altogether a lunch far too dainty for my appear ance How well I remember the fling and wondering looks of an old woman j who came and sat beside me as I ate and said seems like your folks is the kind that puts it all inside and mighty little on their backs sissy Whereupon I made my under Up quiver most even while a piece of the fried chicken was half way into my mouth and looked so much as if wan going to cry thai flounced up in a sort of dismay me I think she had hoped that I would share my lunch her and probably I should have so had not father so strictly en- joined me not to sneak with anybody As we the southern part of the state and made long stops wait- ling for word to go on under stood what trouble was feared for at that time many a train was held up or boarded or robbed by despera does who made of wartime a con venient excuse for plundering j I saw father during the Jrnoon He would stop in the day car for a talk some one he knew and the conductor also seemed find much to keep him busy near jroc So there were friends about me even if could not speak to them My mysterious package seemed to grow larger and more of a care every hour I kept it in my lap with my hand

despatches would he given to an officer and probably to one with a guard of soldiers And any rate we were not going as far south as the region active war or beyond regular telegraphic connec tions with Washington Perhaps package might have something to do with the employees of the railway at our southern us I knew my father had some sort of trouble about them oh his mind I had overheard him say to my mother that It was a wonder thcy stood by the company as they did But how my package could concern them I could not Imagine women triod get Into talk with me and asked mc where I was bound To all their questions I replied with yes or no quite irrelevantly and I am sure some thought an idiot Once I heard two of them in intermitted about me the younger woman j repeating shes no fool but shes as sulky as a pig to which older one as often reiterated tol- Oh dunno seems like but I reckon sho aint no kinder ignorant an shy As wo went on into night the faithful engineer had to watch for prledup rails or logs on the track attempts to stop the train am rob tho passengers especially when father was known to be aboard were always expected Perhaps lather was generally supposed to carry good deal of money in his pockets and in that region In those days a few dollars would tempt attack from the baa men I held my package In my lap all tho time and as darkness came on I felt very lonely and homesick It must been after ten oclock at night when reached the termin us and not till then did I get an self in- midst a dozen men from the office of the company all ot whom I knew and who me in spite of ray disguise Good for you Louise I said Mr the graybearded audi who stooped to take me and my package in his arms Came we will take care of you now But even as he spoke a wild fight broke out on the platform For there the attempt was made which my father had been all day fearing and which he had now ceased to ex pect or fear- A he stepped off bis- private ear a rush was made at out of the crowd by as many as twenty men it seemed and he was not ready for it Before he could raise stick he was knocked down and bis clothes halftorn oft him by hands searching his pockets At the same time six or eight men sprang into his car and began rum- it although a furious row was going on The railway men left to the auditor and rushed to my fathers laid with clubs pistols and knives At the same time the auditor hurried with me into the building and carried me lipStairs I hugging my package although almost swooning with Then he placed in the chair before his desk thrust my pack age into his safe and stood ready with two big heavy revolvers to meet any attack on Ibe But already the noise of the flghb- ceased There was a roar of pursuit for some distance and then my straining ears caught the galloping of horses on the hard roads l that sound in hearing my fa- thers Voice in the upper hallway Ho there Have you got my little girl safe Safe as a church sir said the auditor throwing open the door Father looked as if he had been roughly treated but he was not much hurt And the money He looked about with some anxiety as he clasp- me to his heart It is in the safe said the audi tor I Well done Louise my pet I They would have got it after all it you had not been so obedient end shrewd good He kissed mo again Father Was I carrying money Yes dear Fortyfive thousand dollars in good greenbacks to pay the men here They are badly in need and we were afraid the money would bo stolen on the way if used any ordinary conveyance I Think of their impudence in try ing it right here father cried turning to the auditor and several other officials who had come in They wore sure I had it they must have got some inkling that a large sum was coming Its well they did Weve got em tight cried an excited man coming along the hall reckon that no more than three got to their That gang is broken up for good then said my father And who deserves more credit than my little Louise Imagine how proud I felt I for got my old clothes and only heard the praise and saw the kind beam ing laces But at the hotel I found my better clothes all I needed Mo ther had cared for that and for a few days I
