Rut He Saved HIP Hull road Man' * Life with 1IU Knife. The knld-licndcd rnllrond mnn who frequents - quonts the Totunda of the Gront Northern lotel tlirso evenings , rclntcs the Chicago hronlcle , Is usually the center of qulto a group of UningcrB , for ho has many Inter- sthiR Incidents of adventure to relate. "When I was n section boss down In Texas , " ho said llio other evening , "I had tlio crookedest picco of track In the elate couldn't sco two telegraph poles nt one tlmo it any point on my section. Right Where lie tool house \vnn thcru was n curve and nt one end of tlio curve there was n. switch 'or ' n passing track. I had my men working 0110 day around the curve , near the tool : iouse , and white they were filling In a > leco of track 1 mceeycJ down to take n look at the switch nt the other end of the curve. The men were nbout a quarter of a mlle from the switch , but out of view around the curve. In those days v/o didn't alee the precaution to put blocks of wood u the chinks of ( ho frogs and at the end of the guard rnlle ns thuy do now to keep jrakcmen from getting tlu'Ir feet fast. It wo had I would not have b en telling this story , because It wouldn't have happened. 'An I wns poking around the frog I got one of my heels wedged In one of the nu- nerous openings nnd could not gut myself free. I tugged nway and H\voro a little under my breath , but n machinist vise could not have held that heel tighter than ; ho frog did. You can easily Judge the ex- lent of my nlnrm when I heard a train whistle for n crossing which 1 knew to bo n mlle and a half from the point where Inns n-ns fastened. I looked nt my watch ; It was tho4 o'clock 'cannon ball' from the west , and 1 know Hint Itvuuld bear down upon mo In three minutes unless I suc ceeded In wrenching the heel off my shoe , which appeared a hopeless task. The train would shoot around the curvo. the engineer would not have tlmo to even slow down lu response to my elgnol , and I would be giound beneath the wheels. The train was approaching from the direction of my men and I shouted , hoping they might hear ma and flag It. but It was a vain hope , and I lieard the train roar across a bridge lesa than a mile away. I was beginning to ilespnlr , but cast n. glance around to see If lielp was coming from any other quarter , when I saw a small , tow-headed boy standIng - Ing In the mlddlo of tlio track behind roe , " 'Run up there , ' I yelled , pointing toward the tool house , 'and Hag the1 cannon ball. ' "Tho boy looked at me but did not budge. " 'Run , run , ' 1 whooped again , 'or I'll ba killed ! Don't you see my foot's fast and I can't get off the track ! ' "Tho boy said nothing- , but put his hand In his pocket and pulled out his jackknlfe. I thought ho would look for a stick next so he could wlilttle while he discussed my proposltlou , ns they do down In Texas. I could hear the engine bell ringing to warn my men to clear the track , and I knew that there : remained but a few seconds be tween myself and death , as the boy had stood Inactive too long to get any distance away and signal the engineer. "But the boy was not. as stupid as I had thought him to tie ; Indeed , he was not half as stupid as myself. Ho didn't look for a stick , but ho stepped up beside mo. stooped down , ran the keen blade of his knife over my shoo string , straightened up , grinned and said : " 'Yank yer foot out , mister ; here she comes. ' "I rolled off the track and the train swept past , and the boy sauntered away down the track just as If nothing at all bad happened. " GET THEIR TIPS FROM CROOKS. llaiilc ( Hill-lain Take iMeniiM to I'rolvct Tliolr TrciiHiiru from Tlilcvi'x. It is said by a police official at city hall headquarters , relates the Chlcngo Chronicle , that some of the city banks , whoso hoard oi surplus cosh has been Increasing largely of late , have been experimenting with an ex pedient long in UPO by Bank of England officials of paying known crooks for luforma- tlon of any contemplated raid upon their vaults. The Bank of England's first experi ment of 'this ' kind dates from 1800 , when th * directors of the bank listened to a startling proposition rondo by a "ditch digger. " The laborer < told the directors that ho bad discovered a now and unsuspected method of getting Into the cellar vaults , wbcie tba gold aud silver bara were kept , and that ha would sell his secret to Uiem for money , The directors hesitated , believing that they had taken every precaution against , loss from tbo vaults In putting up heavy masonry , with plenty of Iron bars , and by manning the building with aimed watchmen. But finally they granted the mnn , who eocmcd to talk fnlrfy , a chance to try bis plan , and night was named for tlio undertaking. At the appointed tlmo a committee of tb directors descended to the cellar and heard a peculiar scratching- pound under their feet. Two hours later the iloor opened and the ditch digger bobbed up serenely , Ilka tlio evil spirits In the spectacular drama , All around them lay bars of precious molal , totaling In value 3,000,000. The man ex plained satisfactorily how It was done and as a reward the directors assured him an In * coino for life on an Investment of $10,000 , The cVook was content and It Is believed ho remained honcHt over afterward , Dut other cracksmen were tempted by his luck to try the same game and the directors were Inundated with nuggeetlons and tips on now niethodH of burglary and how to pre vent them. Among other things , they paid J20.000 fpr a process , Invented by a young clicmlf/f' for copying the Ink , paper , water marks und designs of the bank noted BO per fectly as to defy detection. Tbo directors found they could use bis system rooro satli- factorlly and moru profitably than their own Jti the production of their currency. Dceplto the fact that theeo expenditure * liavo run up Into big figures In the last half century the directors of today say that all tbo money was well Invested , ir ( lie WnlU Are Thin.
