Probably the most cunning ot nil animals
Is the mink. Its propensity for stealing IB
marvelous , and th methods of stealing and
hiding the proceeds of Its robberies are
unique In the history ol the lower species.
We 60 not refer here to the depredations of
the mink among poultry , for they resort to
henneries only when the waters are frozen
or a supply of fish Is unobtainable , says the
Lowlston Journal. Two gentlemen were
fishing on one of the rivers ot Maine.
The flsh were quite plenty , and as soon as
one was caught It was thrown behind on the
grass. After seme time one of the gentle
men thought he would take a rest and at
the tame tlmo examine Iris capture. Hut
he could not flud u single fish , Ho charged
his friend with having played him a trick ,
but the friend was as much surprised as he.
They now determined to watch their next
flsh , and their astonishment was unbounded
when they .saw a mink run from a hole
near by , snatch up a flsh and carry It off to
the hole , where they afterwards found their
entirecspture cunningly hidden under some
dead leaves.
In the same manner the mink steal * game
which sportsmen shoot. On one occasion a
gentleman shot a wild duck , but before the
tlogs could get tb It a mink had stolen It ,
carried it oft to a hole In the frozen snow ,
which one mink had prepared while the other
was watching for the opportunity to steal the
sportsman's game. Notwithstanding this
particular characteristic the mink is a bravo
as well as ferocious little fellow , and he
Is excelled In these qualities only by the
ermine. He seems to have a peculiar aver
sion for the muakrat. and although the
muskrat li generally more than double bis
size the mink attacks htm fearlessly , and
always wins the battle , after which ho drags
his dead enemy to some hiding place , as
In the cases ol the flih and wild duck. They
are found In almost every state ot the union ,
but in out frequent/ ! Maine and In the
stales bordering the great lakes. Mink skin *
are sold In great numbers by Maine trappers ,
and are told for furs under various ntmes.

HOPKINS' flORCLAR-PROOP SAFE.
W. L. Alden In SI. Pout Ploneer-Prrw.
"I see , " said the Jericho station master ,
that n train on the Denver read lias Jnil
been held up nnd the safe robbed ct over
J300.000. Well , these things have to hap
pen so long as the present style of burglarproof -
proof safes Is In fashion. Any robber that
lias been properly educated to the business
can open a safe Inside ot halt nn hour , and
can do It without any dynamite or such violent
lent ways. Now , a safe can bo miula Hint
nobody csn open except with the proper
combination , for 1'vo seen such a safe my
self. Saw It on this very road , too , nnd It
vns burled only about fltty miles from hero , "
"What In the v orld was tha reason for
burying the safe ! " I asked.
"Because you can't hive a funeral without
burying the corpse , " replied the station
master. "I've just about time enough to
tell you the story before the Athonsvlllo
express conies In , so set down ami you shall
hoar all about It.
"About ten years ago , or mcbbe eleven
I ain't nny sort of a liiml for dates thcro
was a baggage master on this road by the
namu ot Hopkins. He and I were on the
sanio train , which was on the regular day
express , ami carried the gold dust that nsetl
to be sent down once a week to Oustervlllc ,
whore the mines were panning out at that
time pretty middling well. This hyer Hop
kins Jim was his name besides being bag-
gaga master , also acted ns agent tor tha
express company and took charge of the
safe. As a rule the train was hch ) up unco
n month , and the safe was cither opened
by Jim , with a pistol to his car , or rise ,
it the robbers had plenty of time before
them and took pride In their prolusslon ,
they would open It themselves.
"Jim got tlrod cf this sort ot thing , and ,
being an Ingenious sort of chap who had In
vented quite a lot ot things , he undertook
to Invent a safe that nobody could open ex
cept with the combination. Moreover , ho
c.il'laleil to make It 33 strong that dynamite
wouldn't have no effect upon It , so that It
would really be a burglar-proof safe In good
earnest Well , Jim he worked at the safe
a good part of the winter' until he had got
It planned out In a way to suit him , and
then ho took KIDC of his savings , for ho
had a good lot ot money in the bank , nnd he
built his new patent burglar-proof safe and
put It In his baggage car ,
"The new sate was about twice the slzo
ot an ordinary express company's safe. Out-
sltlo It looked like any other safe , but , be
sides being twice ns strong as anything of
the kind ever built before. It had e good
many special features which I don't pretend
to remember , not being a mechanical sharp
mys lf. I do recall , however , that It had
a surlng lock , which Jim explained was for
convcmire. In case the train should bo
held up very sudden and there should be
time to close the safe and lock It In the
usual way.
" 'Seems to me , ' said the conductor , 'whoso
name was Sampson , though we always
called him Gates , after that friend ot Samp
son that ho carried nway somewhere on his
back , I don't exactly remember the name
of the town. 'Seems to me , ' says he , "that
when you get a pistol to your car that safe
will come open as easy as any other safe. "
' " So It will , ' said Jim , provided I over
flnrl that plstr.'l alongside my car. But 1
cal'ato that I've got through with that
style ot amnsiinent. The next time this
hyer train Is held up the robbers won't find
me , unless they can open that safe , which Is
Just what I mean they shan't be able to do. "
"Why , where are you going to be , " asked
Gates. "Aro you cal'latlng to hide your
self In the flro box , or under the water In
the tank ? "
"See here , " says Jim , 'I ain't no blame
foal , if I look like one. No , air. I don't '
cal'lato to try any such games as those
you're a referring to , but do expect to get
Inside that safe when the train Is held up
nnd to stay there until the robbers get tlrod
of trying to open It. "
"That's n big scheme , Jim , " says the con-
duclor. "but I'd like
lo know how you ex
pect to open the safe again when you want
to come out. "
"O ! " says Jim , "that part of the business
I leave with you , I'll give you the com
bination , and after the robbers have got
tired and gone home you can open the safe
and let me out. "
"All rlghl ! " Bays Gates , "I'll let you out
fast enough provided I can remember the
combination , but you know my memory
Isn't what you might call first-class , 'and I
might forgot the combination , and never be
able to open the safe. Of course , you
wouldn't mind a little thing like that , for
you'd be snug and comfortable , though per
haps a little bit hungry after a while. "
Well , the conductor kept on chafflns Jim
about his new invention , but the two were
good friends , though It was afterward
thought by people who didn't know all the
facts that Gates was partly to blame for
what happened. Jim gave Gates the combi
nation of the safe , and the "very next day
after the thing was put up in the baggage
car the train was held up Just this side of
Athensvllle.
The robbers climbed Into the baggage car
and when they couldn't rtnd Jim they
brought up the conductor and told him to
open the sate , The conductor swore that
nobody knew the combination except Jim ,
and he wasn't aboard the train that night ,
but had laid over at Jonts' Misery , owing
to not feeling very well. The robbers , see
ing as Jim was not to be found , believed
what the conductor said , and they went to
work to pick the lock ot the tafe. Of
course they couldn't ilo It. Then they tried
their center bits but '
, they couldn't make any
Impression on the safe. Tha bits would Just
Blldc around and scratch the surface here and
there , but they had hardly mode a dent In
the steel. By this time the robbers had got
pretty mad , and they slid the safe out Into
the open , und tried what they could do with
dynamite , They must have put a lot of
stuff under the safe , for when U wont off
the safe sailed more than thirty feet In the
air and came down BO solid that she nude a
big hole In the Eround. Hut when they came
to examine her she wasn't hurt a bit. Not
a joint nor a bolt was started , nml except for
a little blackening of the outsldo she was
as good as new.
"This hyar Is a low-down outrage , " says
the robber captain. The man that made
that safe deterves lunging If ever a man
did , for the thing Is going to put an entl to
train robbing , and will throw hundreds of
men out of employment. I hate a man what
hasn't any feeling for his fellow men. "
"Well , the rest of the robbers they stood
around the safe and cussed till they were
tired , but they admitted that they couldn't
open , It , and after awhile they told the con
ductor that ho might take his safe back
again , and start his train down the road.
Accordingly , we got the safe In the baggage
car again , and after the train was a mile or
two down the road , the conductor ho opens
her , and there was Jim , as gay as a jay
bird , and laughing himself sick over the
failure of the robbers.
"There wasn't any doubt that Jim's scheme
had worked well , and the express company
grvi > him $50 as a testimonial of their grati
tude for having prevented the robbbers from
seizing $200,000 worth of gold dust. Illme-
by a new idea occurred to Jim , You ace
nt that time there wasn't any telegraph on
this line , and tin re being only a single
track , and that a pretty rough one. acci
dents were frequent. One day when there
was a drove of cattle rn the line , and Jim ,
looking out ot the car. saw that there' was
certain to be a sirmshup. he just opens his
safe and gets into It to wait for better
times. That ( rain went off the track , and
the baggage car broke loose and went down
an embankment , turning over half a dozen
times and going clean to kindling wood.
When we began to clear thlnes up and
missed Jim. we all supposed that ho had
bren smashed , but when the conductor
opened the safe to see If the contents were
all right , there wns Jim , aa smiling ts n
basket ot chips , and Inquired In a careless
way If there was anything the matter with
the train. After that Jim regularly climbed
Into his saft whenever he heard the danger
signal , and he never once got the least
scratch or bruise. Ho went through three
collisions in that safe , and after one of them
the fcafe was burled so dftp among the rub
bish that ft was two days before wo could
dig It out. That didn't disturb Jim , however.
He Just took the lime oul In sleep , and ac
cording to what he said would have been per
fectly contented It he had been able to smoke

ity ot air In the safe. You see , as long as he
kept his mouth somewhere near the keyhole

what you would call an airy sort of place.
"Jim was a careful man and never nes'e'-ttd '
any precaution that would make the valuables
In his charge as safe as possible. This was
why he made K a ruleto chance the comblna-

too sick lo work as brakeman when wa

made.Well
Well , ivo set to work lo think of every word
n the language relating to robbery and con
taining five letters. It was llko working out
Bomo of those puzilos that you see In the
Sunday papers , but \vo couldn't hit on the
right answer. Seeing as "robbery" didn't
turnlsh us with the word we tried words con
nected with politics , nnd It wo had only
known It we were on the right track , but
wo never got there. Tin- conductor sent to
Ills house for a big dictionary , nntl proposed
lo begin and Irjr every word of flvo letters
In the whole concern , but after n while wo
found that It would take pretty near n year
to get through with them all. and by that
tlmo Jim wouldn't bo vanttng to get out.
"Wo worked nt the combination for a good
twenty-four hours , taking It allogcthcr , nnd
then wo Imd to give It up , Then wo sent
for the best safe burglar In the whole north
west , and offered him $100 to open the safe ,
giving him leave to try nny pl. " > he might
prefer , the man had heard of Jim's patent
burglar prcot safe , and being an ambitious
chap , who took a genuine pride In his pro
fession , he was glad of the Job. Dut ho
didn't succeed any better than wo had tlono.
Picking at ( ho lock , guessing nt the combina
tion and working with the Jimmy were all
failures , antl having heard about the experi
ment that tlio first gang of trnln robbers hail
made on the safe with dynamite , ho didn't
think It worth while lo try that sort of thins
the second lime , However , ho did say that In
his opinion sledge hammers would open the
s.ifo . If they were used long' enough. So wo
got the men with sledge hammers and set
them to hammering the safe hour after hour
In the same place , nnd when they were llrcil
we had two mote men to relieve them. AVe
took the safe and the men along with us
In the train , and they made such a nolso
that you could have heard that train n mlle
away , and would have- thought that she was
a. boiler manufactory on wheels. At the cml
of twelve hours of steady hammering there
wasn't so much as a good-sized dent In that
safe , and we gave up sledfio hammers nnd
made up our minds that wo had seen the last
of Jim.
"Kor all that we kept tinkering at the com
bination tor a fortnight or more afterward.
Jim had been quiet after tha end ot the flrsk
eight days nnd we couldn't ' get any
nmwer from him. So , seeing as thn tlmo
had come to bid farewell to him , wo decldod
that we would tnko the safe down to the
Athonsvllla cemetery nnd bury It as It
stooil. Which , accordingly , was done on
the following Sunday , and seeing as It waa
well known that safe belonged to Jim and
was empty at the time so far as Jim was
concerned there wa nobody who had the
right to make- any objection. The min
ister who conducted the funeral did say
something about lha extraordinary nature
of the comn that we hod chosen for the ,
deceased , but we told him tliat the coffin
didn't concern him und that all lie had to
tlo was to hcavo ahead and give U Christian
burial without passing any of his remarks.
Wo didn't ' think it worth while to sink the
safe- very deep , because some day the com
bination might be discovered , and then
Jim's heirs would want to get the safe out
again and put It among Jim's assets , for It
would have besii sure to fetch a big price It
there had been any way ot getting Into it.
It must have been a year after the funeral
when a passenger got to talking with the
conductor ot tlio express In the smoking
car about Jim nnd his safe , nnd lie acci
dentally mentioned that the night before
Jim shut himself up for the last tlmo they ,
too , had bsen talking politics , and Jim , who
was a democrat , was slinging language about
President Hayes and saying that ha had
stolen the presidency from Tllden , and was
no better than a train robber. When ths
conductor heard this he swore a whiles In a
thoughtful sort of way , nnd then ho says :
"We've got that combination at last. "
"How so ? " says the man.
"Why , " says the conductor , "Jim allowed
that the combination was a word ol flvo
letters tlmt had something to do cither
with robbery or politics. Now 'Hayes'
would bo exactly that sort of word , and I
can't think how It happened that wo didn't
try It. I haven't the least manner of doubt
that IfVQ was to dig that safe up and try
It with 'Hayes * it would open without the
least trouble. "
"What's the good of opjnlng It after Jim
has been occupying It for more than a year ? "
says the man ,
"Why , Juiit this , " says the conductor.
"That there safe Is the only burglar-proof
safa ever built and If the combination waa
known the relatives ot the remains could
sell It for $2,000 easy. I'll see them about
it tomorrow , and we'll have ono more try
at opening it. "
"Well , to make a long story short , the
relatives dug the safe up and found sura
enough that 'Jlnycs' was tha word that un
locked It. It was a little rusty on the out
side , but otherwise It was just as good as
ever. There wasn't very much left of Jim
by that time , but what thcro was received
a second funeral , for there wasn't anything
mean about Jim's family , nnd then the ex
press company bought the safe for $1,800
and It was used on this road for upwards ot
two years. "
"Wniit became of It finally ? " I naked.
"What always becomes of anything or
anybody that sticks to railroading too long ?
The train went off ot Three-Jills brldgo
nbout seventy-five miles north of Joscphus-
vllle , and , there being a quicksand at the
bottom of the creek thnt no man could ever
find the bottom of HID whole train , Including
Jim's safe , sank out of sight , and nobody
over found the least trace of It afterward.
You ought to have heard of that accident ,
for nbout 300 passtmgera went down with tha
train and the company never paid a cent oC
damages , because thcro vcro no remains
found and nobody could provo that anybody
In particular had been killed. I say It
didn't cost the company anything for
damages , though they do say that the jury
men cost altogether not far from $5,000
apiece. However , the company got out ot
It , very cheap , and the directors were inoro
disgusted about losing that safe than they
were about losing the whole train , Coma
