I told her no, and explained that the express and mail-cars were
the only ones to which the road agents paid any attention. She
wanted to know the way it was done: so I described to her how
sometimes the train was flagged by a danger signal, and when it had
slowed down the runner found himself covered by armed men; or how a
gang would board the train, one by one, at way stations, and then,
when the time came, steal forward, secure the express agent and
postal clerk, climb over the tender, and compel the runner to stop
the train at some lonely spot on the road.
