It was like tin Pinkertons to detect in this almost iH-nrdicss boy n remarkably intelligent Pippin got an offer of employment he nterpted it and was sent nt once M a small town in Illinois to find out a band of thieves who were stealing hogs and robbing shops. If Doc had tried he could never have dressed well. Even clothes that were made for him didn't fit, and hr woi his hat crossw ise, like the leading mi nt a French funeral. Hia appearam ujvon this occasion waa in bis fat or, at hr was not long in forming the a •piaintance of the toughest lot-of loat.i* in the town. They liked Doc. ns everyone did who knew hi a'long time before they him. Doc's money gavy out, and he tried to borrow, nnd the gang gave him the laugh. "Git out an* turn a trickwork.” aaid one of the men. “What can I do? Show me and then watch me.” raid Doc. ty ridln' out o' town?" . nodding down the road where a lone horseman waa going away with the sunset at hia hack.

“Yea.”

"Well, be'f goin' out to his place in the country—goes every Kat'day night an' cornea bark Monday—hold 'lm up.” Doe knew the man. as he knew nearin the place, by the description given him at Chicago, and by the middle of the following week this wealthy citizen had been notified from headquarters that he would be held up on the next Saturday night. Doc was at his post, and aa the lone horseman earoe down the road the highwayman stepped out from the shadows of a jack oak and covered hla man. That night the gang drank up th, icst part of the $28.60 and voted Doc ”a lead game toucher."

roaches piled u|>oii the pieces, nnd the wreck iH-gao to burn. When the trainmen and [lUKi'riiffcr<ume forward to look for “the fellows up ahead" they saw large nnd small envelope* railing out of the burning debris, and they knew at oner tluit the mail agent must Ire fast in the urccl.. Tbe whistle valve had been foreed o|ien. nnd now the wild, ceaseless cry of the wounded engine drowned all other sounds, nnd made it impossible for the men to hear the cries of the imprisoned |s>stal clerk. All this he knew, and while tbe hungry flames were eating their way to where he lay he pulled the tagister liqf to l dm. and began to shy the valuable mail into the sagebrush. When the steam was rxhaiisLd and the cry of the cuginr hoi?hushed there their voices wen- hushed in death. Above tbe sound of the crackling flurare they could bear Doc railing to them from hia place below the wreck, and the train crew worked desperately right in the very face of the fire to rraruethr

unfortunate.

Gradually the voice of the prisoner grew fainter and fainter, nnd before the rescuers reached him it hushed en-

tirely.

At last, just as they were about to five him up. as he was now apparently dead, they succeeded In dragging Doc from the w reck, and to the joy of nil hr noon revived. He un* yet alive, hut had breathed so much of the flames tluit bli left lung waa almost ruined, and he was nevyr able to resume his place on the It was this unfortunate wreck and the story of his heroism thatgave him the imjiortnnt place of amiatant superintendent of the w estern division of the United States mail service when Le was not ye* 30 years old.
