A Story That Won a Prize and Yet

A number of vears ngo a series of
prizes four the best detective story
wis oftered by nn certain well known
Western newspaper, aixl the inte F, R
Burtou, in collaboration with a fellow
craftsman, entered the competition.
Their story, the theme of which in-
volved an ingenious method of rob-
bing a safe in spite of the protection
afforded by au tite lock, was one of the
five which won prizes, and the authors’
portraits were duly published iz the
issue of the paper which ansounced
the result of the competition. The
prize money, constituting a considera-
ble sum, was promptly paid over, but
to the author's surprise, although the
other four winning stories were pub-
lished, thut of the time lock failed to
appear, After an few weeks a repre
sentative of the paper called upon Mr,
Burton, expiaiuning that the editor was
anxious to know what authority he
bad for his story aod whether it would
really be possible to rob a bank after
the fashion that he had set forth,
With the help of a pencil and a few
diagrams Mr, Burton easily proved
