Guarding Bank Of France


Like the Bank of England the Bank
of France is now guarded every
night by soldiers. But within quite
recent time the officials at the French
bank resorted to a very novel method
Of portecting their bullion.
This consisted in engaging masons
to wall up the doors OF the vaults In
the cellar with hydraulic mortar as
soon as the money was deposited each
day In these receptacles. The water
was then turned on and kept run
ming until the whole cellar was food
ed. A burglar would be obliged to
work in diving suit and break down
q cement wall before he could even
begin to plunder the vaults.
When the bank officials arrived
next morning the water was drawn
on, the masonry torn down. and the
vaults opened Strand Magazine.

Donald Saunders had his first great
adventure up in the Longs Peak
country, region famous throughout
Colorado for heavy SHOWS and ava.
lanches. Donald came over from Den

to spend the summer with Sumpter
Saunders, his fathers youngest broth
er. Sumpter was very young uncle,
indeed, being but 81 and not very
long out of college, while Donald was
10. Uncle Sump'' was a big-boned,
strapping fellow who had played cen
ter in his college football team, a man
with laughing blue eyes and teas
ing ways but entertaining serious
dreams of owning a great mine, If
strength and pluck and persistence
would bring one to light. He was run

be an excellent goId-bearing prospect.
up in the Longs Peak ceantry. Don
aid went out to help him. The tall
boy had notions Of becoming a min
ing engineer, and here was experience
that might prove of value when he
should be ready to enter technical
school.
The world is very much in confusion
up in that country, the earth having
been flung about at all sorts of
angles, heaped and ragged and
tumbled. Streams sprawl in foamy
abandon through the canyons and the
clamps of pines on the soaring sleeps
sing cheerily in the wind and sun.
Donald found it all quite magical.
He had purposed returning home
to Denver in the autumn, but Sumpter
having offered him an interest in the
mine. should they succeed in striking
quartz, he concluded TO remain at
least until Christmas. Donald's ia
the knowing the value of practical
experience, thought it quite as well
that his son should stay and rough it
for awhile.

other things, all, seemingly. In
single moment
1t must have been a very short
period in which he was leaping and
tumbling and whirling about on the
mighty toboggan, for the avalanche
ran down the mountain side like a
swiftly hurrying snake. save that its
undulations were up and down instead
of sidewise as with a serpent. It
seemed to Donald he had scarcely
drawn six breaths before the snow
slide shot from the precipice above the
cabin. Swift as was his flight he was
conscious that the slide had leaped
from the canyon wall, for throughout
a few seconds there was no noise and
he seemed being horne upon bed of
feathers through space, then there was
a roar as of muffied thunder and he
was wallowing deep in snow.
The mental picture that had flashed
through Donalds mind of his young
uncle sitting by the fire engrossed in
a printed romance, had been true to
the fact Sumpter had awakened to
the coming of the avalanche only
when it neared the brink of the wall
20 feet above the cabin. His book
dropped from his hand and he made a
leap for the door, The next moment a
bear crashed through the roof and
smote the floor in front of the fire,
leaving the luckless animal lifeless.
CurDDfar,c foco hIouchod &c ba cfarad
at the strange object, then he thought
Of Donald and hurriedly pushed his
way out of the door The snow about
the cabin was up to his neck and the
roof was piled deep with it, but the
bulk of the slide had leaped clear over
the little house, heaping the bottom
OF the gulch to the opposite wall, some
500 feet away. The bear had dropped
from the tail of this rushing mass di-
rect1y upon the cabin.
When Sumpter had got his fright
ened nephew out of the smother of
stuff in which he was foundering, the
two young fellows stood with pale
faces staring at each other for a little
space, then both. seeing what they
had escaped, laughed joyously.
Come into the cabin" said Stump
ter, I'VE will have broiled bear steak
for Christmas dinner, Too many
snowslides around here now; to-mor-
row we will pull out for Denver. In
the spring we viii come back and
tunnel until We strike the vein"
All of which came true.

The revolution was organized, the

And it was justified on the ground that
Colombia stood in the way of the canal
