The UTe of telegraph opcratora In the city
a very unllko that of their brothers In the
ountry , and the duties of the "coramcr-
lal" operator differ greatly from thoao of
: io railroad man , The lattcr's work may
ot bo aa nrcluoug na the other fellow's , but
t la frequently attended with much greater
eaponslblllty. .AnJ ono docs not need to
0 to Mexico or Montana la order to satisfy
ilmselt that the 'railroad operator also has
his ( hare of clowo shaves and hair-raising
xpcrlcnccs. A Now York Sun reporter mot
ecently a veteran "key twister" who used
o ba employed nights on the eastern di
vision of the Ucston & Maine railroad in
s'tnv Hampshire. Ho tells a startling story
f his experience with a burglar while
laving orders from headquarters to stop a
hrotigh freight. The predicament In
vhlch ho placed himself by fallluaoleep ;
at hLi peat should be n warning to all night
oiierators who have a hand In the move
ment of trains.
1 'Just throw two or three sliovofuls ot
coal ecu the Ilro every hour or so and niako
ourself comfortable. There won't bo much
doing tonight , and after No. 2 goes why ,
coot home. '
"These were- the last words Hd enlJ tome
mo as he buttoned his collar high around
ila neck and hurried out of the olllco.
'Ud wao the regular night telegraph
operator at the llttlo town of Hampton ,
situated on a staglc-track railroad In New
lampshlre. Ho waa not more than
J5 years old , and the monotony of hn !
vork caused him to seek frequent recreation
away from tto olllceIf a dance waa to
como off In the town hall or within ten
miles of It Kd would be there , provided ho
could find some ono to take his plucu for
hat ulght at the office.
DEOAN QUITE YOUNG.
"I was only 1C at the time. A few years
jeforo my brother mil two other young
nen , all older than myself , had built a pri
vate telegraph line between their homes In
order , as they said , to learn how to 'ellng
Winning' well enough to work lei n busy
onite. 'Kach became a very gooil operator
and la time found employment at hltf
rude.
"Although an eager disciple of the art , I
waa almcat too young to have a thorough
knowledge of telegraphing when my brother
oft home , but I knew enough about It to
want to know more , and the day nnd night
operators at Hampton were annoyed by my
visits till they decided that I wasn't an
entirely hopeless case and could even bo
trusted occasionally to 'sub' for thorn.
"And that Is what I dad agreed to do for
Id on the night mentioned a cold and
blustering might In February.
The task was not nltosether an agreeable
one. No passenger trains stopped at Hamp-
, on after C:25 : o'clock In the evening. After
9 no ona ever called at the station to In-i
qulro for freight , and by half past 10 all
sounds of footsteps on the platform ceased ,
only a dim light here and there could bo
seen , and everything about the place up-
> carcd to bo dead.
'AJhlck snow storm , which set In during
ho evening , did not detract at all from the
oncsomeness of my quarters. 'But every
place is lonesome at night' , I mused , 'and ono
cannot always have company to cheer him. '
'This thought , coupled with the reflection
that In the morning I was to receive $1.GO
tor my services , quieted niy ears for the
tlmo be I n 2.
"A red , a white , and a blue lantern were
always kept burning in the office at night
In case they should bo needed quickly. I
examined each of these lanterns to BCD If It
was properly fllled and secured , looked after
the Ilro In the big coal stove , readjusted the
relays on wires Nos. 2 and 16 , and lay back
In the big , cushioned armchair with the air
of one who had done his full duty.
"Aside from the clicking ot the telegraph
( which was Intermittent and made me start
when it struck up suddenly after a sllcnco
longer than usual ) , all that could be heard
was the groaning and sighing ot the wind
and the incessant and wearisome , hum-m-m-
m-m-m-m of the wires outside the station.
The blending of the last two sounds was as
doleful as the clang of a bell buoy In
violent etorra.
"Twelve o'clock came round. That was a
little too early for luncheon , but I felt
hungry and proceeded to despatch the con
tents of a small basket which I had brought
from home.
"After that t became somewhat drowsy.
None of the 'trains , go far , had been more
than twenty minutes late , and I had reported
each of them promptly to headquarters when
It passed my station.
SLUMBERS DISTURBED ,
"Tho temperature of the office must have
been eighty when I turned the lamp down tea
a mere glimmer and again settled back In the
big chair about 12:45. : Through freight No.
252 from the north would bo due In quarter
of an hour. I hadn't heard it reported up the
line , but supposed it would bo pretty nearly
on time.
"Tho storm appeared to be growing fiercer ,
and I eat and listened to It.
"How long'I listened I do not know.
"A light pounding nearby made mo Jump
up.
" 'What can that bo ? ' I asked myself.
"Tho pounding grew louder. ( All the In
struments were still and the sound was dls
tlnct.
"I stood almost breathless bosldo the table.
"In less than a mlnuto I was convinced
where it came from.
"In the back part of the office were the
ticket windows opening respectively into
the men's and women's waiting rooms. A
heavy blue shade on each window provcntci
any ono from seeing the Interior of the
office. Thcso shades were always drawn
after the departure of the last passenger
train for the day.
Some ono had broken Into the women's
room and was trying to force open , the win
dow to the oince , using , evidently a chlsc
and mallet.
"Tho doors of that room were always
locked by the day man before going off
duty , and I made sure elrly In the evcntaf
that that task bad not been neglected
Moreover , as tramps -were not allowed In
the station , and It was easier to keep then
out than to put them out , I bad also bolted
the doors of the mca'a room , Ed often dl
that after 12 o'clock.
"Tho safe , containing books , tickets am
perhaps $200 or | 300 In cash , was midway
between the two windows and about fou
fe t from each.
"For fully five minutes I etood perfectly
rigid.
" 'Apparently tfio thief la uncertain
whether there Is any ono here , ' I thought
'If he Imagined there wasn't , lie wouli
certainly smash the window , iron guard am
all. In short order. Maybe he expects to
flncme asleep , and 00 soon as ho prlcu open
the window will thrust in a pistol aad ordei
mo to hold up my bauds. "
"How was I to defend myself ? If I wen.
to the window , it 'would probably mean
prompt surrender or death , atvl to hesitate
muili longp.r did not seem likely to rellev

" 'If I only had a revolver ! ' Ed owne
one , but ho always carried U with him.
"I resolved to start up ono of the Instru
ments in the hope that tbo loud and sud
den ticking might put the Intruder t
flight.
"Bonding over the table I opened the key
on wire No. 1C. The machine did no
respond. Realizing that tbo dampness o

"Tbo sounder was making those signals
with great rapidity , The train dlspatche

meant , 'Quick. Wo want you to hold

"I answered , anil the query came back
clear and sharp :
" 'No. 262'

" 'U '

or a minuteor two , had now recommenced

uent tnu-t surely give way very aocci.
"In ordcv to stop No. 252 A rrd lantern

"Thus I argued nervously to myself.
"Then a happy thought truck me. I ro-
iiembered that ono of the lantern brackets
ra-n't moro than two feet from the front
vlndow , which was close bealdo mo odd
vcrlookod ttio platform , lly lowering the
vlndow nt the 4op I could probably reach It.
"Taking advantage of every rush and sweep

nd open tdo window wlldout making A nolso
Ikely to alarm my lawless visitor. Nobody
was to bo eecn on that aide ot the place and
ho signal was quickly miulo fast to the
bracket.
" 'Jn n few minutes the freight will stop
ippoelto the olllco and the conductor Mid
' .iglncer will bang rci the door for their
rdirs. I can loll thorn my predicament In a
Iffy and the rascal won't dace to tackle

( Julio satisfied wild this reasoning I shut
ho window softly nnd fixed the nluida no

"Tint done. I rotumcd to the key and took

'Attracted ' by a otrango ray of light. I
looked around and saw that the 'ticket ' win

Putting1 0110 foot on the table , I Jerked
open the window and leaped out.
"In less than twenty seconds thereafter
Conductor Henderson , Engineer Cole , I'rako-
tnan Kelly , oich carrying a lantern , ami
myself , marohed Into the women's waiting

"Mr. Thief was all prepared to make his

It WIB bettor to surrender.
"No. 252 was standing Just above the sta

peated the order to headquarters , with the
proper signatures , received the dispatcher' *
endorsement , nnd 252 went on. Her delay
