LOST MONEY BY DETECTION
Baron NordenskIoId, Tempted by Of.
fered Honor, Made Mistake When
He Accepted It.

When the late Baron Nordenskjold
was at Ceylon on the way home from
his journey along the northern coast
of Siberia he received telegram
from the Russian government asking
him whether he would accept from
the car a certain decoration as an
appreciation of his services to Russia.
For many days the famous explorer
wavered, as he was member of
Bjornson's Antidecoration club, whose
members were solemnly pledged never
to accept any decoration from any
body.
Nordenskjold, however, could not re-
sist the temptation, so he replied to
the telegram in the affirmative. 1t is
not hard to imagine his disappoint-
ment when upon reaching home a
friend of his, high official, told him
the following:
THE Russian government was well
aware of your antagonistic views in
regard to decorations and had there
fore placed in readiness 100000 rubles
to be paid you in the event of your
refusing to accept the insignia, but be
fore paying that sum they wanted to
try your firmness. Russia is certainly
grateful to you for your failure to live
up to your pledge"
