They read over every number nervously until they come to their own cipher. Oh joy! They have won the first prize. They rejoice over their good fortune, but are a little too exuberant over their luck, for a burglar, concealed in the room, hears of the big amount of money to be collected and makes up his mind to steal the tickets. As the husband departs for the banking house he shows his wife that for security sake he is putting the valuable papers in his hat. The burglar notices this and decides upon a clever scheme.
