Saved from the Robbers.

Some years ago prominent railroad
builder of Warsaw, Poland, expert
enced one of the most remarkable
marrow escapes" on record. He was
employing several thousand laborers
along the line of railway then under
construction, and as there were few
banks in the provincial towns of Po-
land in those days, he was compelled
to carry with him large sums of money
from headquarters on his regular trips
to pay off his hands. He usually
drew the amount he needed from the
Bank of Poland on the day before his
departure, keeping the money over
night in his own safe, which he con-
sidered a perfectly secure depository
for these funds, as the art of safe
cracking was rot yet very exclusively
known at that time.
One afternoon. as he was engaged
in counting and arranging the money
he had just drawn from the bank,
some one called him into the outer
office on some urgent business. Mr..
- threw a newspaper on the bank
notes which he had spread oGt on his
safe, and stepped out, expecting to be
back directly. On his return few
minutes later he very carefully locked
his safe and went home.
When he entered his Office about six
o'clock the next morning to get the
money from the safe. he was terror
stricken on finding that the safe had
been broken open and its valuable
contents were missing. Detectives
were called at once, but when they ar
rived and started to make careful
survey of the premises they found all
the money lying intact on the safe,
still covered with the newspaper which
the contractor had thrown over it the
day before. He had forgotten to put
the money into the safe before locking
the latter, and the burglars never
thought of looking anywhere else for
valuables, but took the few hundred
rubles they found in the safe and de-
parted. His forgetfulness saved the
contractor about eighty thousand
rubles.
