A BURGLARY.
I onco know two industrious mochnnics
named Piorro And Baptisto. Thoy dwelt
in a ranishacklo tenement at Sault aux
Belcoull, whero each had a dozen chil
dren to support besides their wives, who,
it is grievous to relate, tvoro drones.
Thoy wore only nominally acquainted
with that goodly art commonly asso
ciated with charwomen.
Plcrro and Baptisto wero hard workers.
Thoy worked far into tho night and oc
casionally tho thin mists of dawn had
begun to break on tho narrow city ruivo
ments before thoir labors would ceaso'.
No ono could truthfully say that theirs
was not n hard earned pillow. Somo
times thoy did not toil in vain. It de
pended largely upon tho pollco.
It was early ono November that this
horny handed pair planned tho bur
glary of a certain safo located in a wholo
Bttlo establishment In St Mark street.
On tho particular ovening that Picrro
and Baptisto hit upon for tho deed tho
bead bookkeeper had been having a
wranglo with his accounts,
"I can't tnako hood or tall of this I" ho
declared to his employer, tho senior
moniber of tho firm, "yet I am con
vinced ovorything must bo right. An
error of several hundred dollars has been
carried oyer from each doily footing, but
whero the error begins or ends I'm
blessed if I can Und out"
Tho fact was that tho monthly sales
had been unusually heavy, and a pagoof
the balance had boon misled. Tho head
bookkeeper Bpont upward of an hour in
casting np both the entries of himself
and his subordinates after tho establish
ment hod closed its doors for tho day.
Then ho went homo to supper deter
mined to return and locato tho deficit if
ho didn't got a wink of sloop until morn
ing. Bookkeepers, it must bo borno in mind,
havo highly sensitlvo organisms, which
aro Buscoptiblo to tho smallest atom re
flecting npon thoir probity or skill At
8:30 tho bookkeeper returned and com
menced anew his critical calculations.
He worked precisely throo hours and a
half, at the end of which period ho sud
denly clapped his hand to his forehead
and exclaimed:
"Idiotl Why haven't yon looked in
tho safo for a missing' sheet? Ten chances
to ono tiny havo been improperly num
bered I"
Ho turned over tho pages .of tho bal
ance on his desk, and, euro enough, tho
osual.numorical mark or designation in
tho upper loft hand corner which should
follow 11 was missing. Page 12 in all
likelikood had slipped into some remote
corner of tho safo.
The safe was a largo one, partially re
ceding into the wall and containing all
the papers, documents and several day
receipts in cash and drafts of the firm.
The head bookkeeper in his efforts at
unearthing tho lost page of tho cash bal
ance waa obliged to intrudo his entire
person into tho safe; Fearful lest the
candle ho hold 'should attract attention
from the street, showing out u it did
against the black recesses of the safo,
upon entering it ho drew tho door slightly
ajar.
As ho stopped in tho tail of his coat
caught on an onglo of the huge riveted
lock, tho massivo gate swung to as if
it weighed no moro than a pound, and
the bookkeeper was a prisoner.
Ho hoard tho resonant click that was
all. His c&ndlo went out
Tho bookkeeper at tho outset lost bis
presonco of mind. Ho fought Uko a
caged animal. Ho first exerted almost
superhuman strength against tho four
sides of tho iron tomb. Then his body
collapsed, and not for an instant losing
consciousness he found himself Bitting
in a partially upright position unable to
so much aa stir a musclo.
It was almost at the same moment,
although hours Bocmed to havo passed,
that tho drum of his car, now abnormal
ly sensitive, waialmost split into frag
ments. A frightful, monotonous clangor
rent tho interior of tho safe.
Tho bookkeeper used to obsorvo after
ward that a singlo second's doviation of
characteristic thought and ho would
havo gono mod. Stronger minds in a
parallel situation would havo indeed col
lapsed. But a weaker man con never
confront the inevitable, but clings moro
stubbornly to hope. Thoy are only weak
individuals who in tho act of drowning
catch at straws.
As tho bookkeeper felt himself grad
ually growing faint for want of air to
breathe bis revivified hopo led him to
deliberately crash his fist into tho wood
work with which tllo interior of tho safe
was fitted, in secrdtairo fashion, ono
drawor being built aboyo another. This
gavo him a few additional cublo foot of
air.
As may havo been conjoct.ured, tho
noiso which emoto tho bookkeeper's cur
was that of a drill Although acutely
discerned within, tho sound was practi
cally smothered on the outside of tho
vault.
Ai one end of tho drill waa a cavity,
rapidly growing larger, in ono of tho
steel panels. At Us other end was a
heavy, warty fiat, part of the anatomy
of Baptbjte, the industrious mechanic
Baptisto hold the drill wnllo his com
rado, Pierre, pounded It in,
Soon tlio two burglars becamo nwaro
that sotno tmrt of nnlnml commotion woe
going on wlthlifthoHufo. It nearly drovi
them Into convulsions of astonishment
Baptisto was so startlod that ho dropiwd
tho drill.
"It is a ghost," ho said.
Baptisto was for throwing up tho job
uncompromisingly on tho spot, but this
proposal mot with obstacles. Ills follow
workman, who was of stiffcr cotitugo.
rejected it with scorn, as savoring too
much of tho superstitious. Pierro had n
large family to support, ho argued, He
ipoko fruhkly. Thoy could not afford to
throw away tho opportunities of provi
dence. To his friend and coluborer the
burden of his remarks wast
"Lachol Go lion I You make mo, tired
wis ycr ghosts an tings. Lot's not have
no benst foolln see? Do job Is com
mence. Allonsl" "
Tho upshot of this was that Piorro and
Baptisto went back to work. At the
third crack of tho drill Plcrro' crossed
himself and said t
"Baptisto, dcre's a man in dat safe!"
Both men grow jtalo as death at the
very suggestion. Baptisto, for instance,
was so frightened ho couldn't utter a
syllable. His tonguo clavo to tho roof
of his mouth. However, Picrro, as usu
al, was tho first to recover. Ho applied
his car first to tho lock and then to the
drill hok.
"Hey, in derol" ho cried, yet not bo
loud as to bo heard on tho sidewalk. To
this thcro camo a faint rcsponso a very
faint shout Indeed. It sounded as if it
were n mllo away:
"For God'H Bake, glvo mo uirl I ntn
locked in hero. Try and burst opeu the
safo!"
Tho two burglars ditl not stop to talk,
but went at onco to work as if their own
lives dependod on tho result instead ol
the lifo of tho mysterious occupant ol
the vault. In less tflan four minutes
they had n holo somowhat smaller than
tho business end of n collar button
knocked into tho panel of tho vault.
Then Pierro and Baptisto paused to
wipo tho sweat from their brows. Tho
man inside breathed.
It was now that tho pair began to
muso on tho denouement. Could this bo
a member of tho firm or on employee?
This hypothesis jeopardized tho success
of tho night's adventuro unless when
thoy had permitted tho prisoner to
cmcrgo they bound and gagged him into
sllenco.
On tho other hand, this courso would
havo an ugly look. If bo resisted, it
might mean murder in tho end; whero
as, if they did not let him out at all, they
would stand no chanco of profiting by
the pecuniary contents of tho safo. Bo
sides, as tho man could scarcely llvothus
till morning, thoy would bo rosponsiblo
for his taking off. Thus reasoned Piorro
and Baptisto. Thcso wero not comfort
ing reflections, but thcro was still an
other and a better in reserve What if,
after all, tho man wero himself a felon?
Might he aot bo a companion cribcrack
err In thateaso thoy would merely havo
to divide tho spoils.
"Hey, In dere," criod Pierro, suddenly
struck with an idea. "What is do com
bination hof do safe?"
"Fifteen three soventy-tlirooPcame
back in sepulchral tones.
It was evidently growing harder and
harder to draw breath through tho tiny
aperture.
Thus it transpired that at tho expira
tion of 15 eecouds tho lock of tho vault
gavo back tho snmo resonant click it
had rendered eight minutes previously.
Thanks to tho timely advent of Piorro
and Baptisto, it opened as lightly, as air
ily and as decisively as it had closed 480
seconds before on tho unhappy account
ant. The head bookkeeper gasped onco or
twice, but without any assistance step
pod out into tho free air. He waa very
pale, and his dress waa much rent and
disordered when his feet touched the
floor. But this pallor quickly mado
way for a rod flush at perceiving tho
two burglars with' tho implements of
then; profession-strewed around them.
Meanwhilo Pierro and Baptisto them
selves stood transfixed by the sheer nov
elty of tho situation.
Without any kind of speech or warn
ing or without making any attempt at
bravado, tho bookkeeper walked delib
erately to his desk and rang an eloctrio
call for tho police. Simultaneously, it
seemed, for so rapid and quiot waa tho
action, ho opened a drawer, took out a
small revolver and covered both bur
glars with n fatal precision. As lie did
bo ho uttered thcso reinarkablo words:
"GonUeinen, I would indeed bo tho
basest of men if I did not feci profoundly
grateful for tho servico you have just
rendered ino. I shall always regard you
as any right minded man should regard
those who havo saved his lifo with immi
nent peril to themselves or, which is just
tho Bamo, to their liberty. Any demand
in reason you make of mo I sliall muko
an effort to perform. But my duty to
my employers I regard as paramount I
havo accumulated a 'llttlo money, and
with it I proposo to engago tho best
counsel in your defonso, which Is cer
tainly marked by mitigating circum
stances. If, on tho other hand, you aro
convicted"
