"Thank You" Is All She Gets

1916

And Just Think, She Found and Restored $2,500 Cash.

NEW YORK. — Joseph Rorner of East Norwalk, Connecticut, recovered $2,500 he left in an elevated train in Brooklyn.

Just as Rorner was reporting his loss to the police a young woman purchased a ticket at the City Hall station of the Third avenue elevated line and pushed a bundle thru the ticket window.

"Here is a bundle which I picked up in a Brooklyn elevated train," she explained.

The package was found to contain a big roll of gold and silver certificates. It was sent to the lost and found department of the Interborough.

The following morning the general storekeeper of the Interborough read of Rorner's loss and wired him to call, which Rorner did at once. After identifying himself he received his bank roll. As he left he said, "I thank you."
