ROBBERS BIND WATCHMAN,
Desperate Attempt to Blow Safe of
Portland Factory.

Portland, Aug. 10. = Safecrackers

safe of the Dornbecher Manufacturing
company yesterday morning and sue

with three charges of nitro. glycerine,
but did not get ct the contents.
E. R. Mickey was in the freroom of
the factory when he was suddenly
seized by one of four men, all of them
masked and armed. He was thrown
down and his arms tied behind him.
They then went back to the factory,
gathering up sledge hammer and
other tools, and went at the safe. They
knocked off the knob with hammer
and drilling holes, set off in all three
charges of nitro-glycerine. In the
midst of their work a switch engine
pulled into the siding to pick up cars
from the factory, the brakeman enter
ed the rear door to get his orders and
was met by volley of shots from the
robbers, one of the bullets going
through his hat. He promptly ran off
and the engine backed down town,
going back in half an hour with police
aid. AS the engine returned, Mickey
was found but the robbers had gone,
leaving pint bottle of nitro-glycerine
and all their tools in the factory office.

ship. One day, so the story goes, a
friend entered the room to find Poe
writing busily with both hands
What are you doing?" asked the
friend
Writing with both hands," said
Poe.
Both hands!' exclaimed the friend.
But how on earth can you make any
progress in that way?"
Easy enough. 1t is theory of
mine that 1t Is waste of time not to
be able to use both hands at the same
time. Both hands and brain may be
trained, with care and attention, so
that each hand may do its full share
of work-each hand being employed
on separate task. 1t Is not really an
affair Of the hands at all, in the last
analysis, but an affair of the intellect.
l am training my hands and brain
now so that / can do twice as much
work as the ordinary person in a Civ
en- period Of time. At the present mo-
ment l am writing poem with my
right hand; one that l confidently be-
lievc will startle the world. And with
my left hand I am blocking out a
wonderful story; story which should
capture thousands of readers.
1T will only be a short time before
/ will be able to take my examina.
tions In this manner and dispose of
two subjects simultaneously. 1t will
save time and will give hands and
brain their full duty"

felt the lock yield to the thin strip Of
steel, and in a moment the box lay open
before his eyes. He had flashed on the
electric light bulb in the vault and recog-
nized instantly Porter's inscription
Traction on a brown bundle. He then
opened his own box and took out his
Traction certificate and carried it with
Porter's packet into the directors room.
He sat playing with the package, which
was sealed in green wax with the plain
oval insignium of the bank. The packet
was larger than he had expected it to be :;
he had no idea of the amount of stock
it contained; and he knew nothing of
the bonds. He felt tempted to open it !;
but clearly that was not within his in
structions. He must deliver it intact to
Fendon, and he would do it instantly
He hesitated, though, and drew out the
certificate which Evelyn had given him
and turned the crisp paper over in his
hand. Each. of them owned one hundred
shares of Traction stock; he was not
thinking of this, but of Evelyn, whose
signature held his eye. 1t was an angu-
lar hand, and she ran her two names to-
gether with a long sweep of the pen.
His thoughts were given a new direc-
ton by the noise of colloquy between
the watchman and some one at the door,
He heard his own name mentioned, and
thrusting the certificates into his pocket,
he went out to learn what was the mat
ter.
Mr. Wheaton," called the watchman,
who held the door partly closed on some
one, Mr.. Margrave wishes to see you"
As Wheaton walked toward the watch
man, Margrave strobe in heavily on the
