that cousin ellen and x drove over to call on them nt one time ellen having hopes of socurlng tlie school there to tench the sisters had a younger brother columbus dowers who became quite cele brated in the agricultural world as the in vi n tar of a machine for milking cows four or five at a time by irtcans of compressed air from a large air pump worked by hand brake iio also in vented a rotary chum and several other devices one of uiem being a handy little wrench readily adaptable to any nlze of nut kane of uieso had proved very profitable except uils lart simple little wrench from uie royalues of which he realised rising two hundred uiousand dollars that wrench was like the little safetypin everybody wanted it columbus had taken up his abode at washington d c but he remained a bachelor and came home at times to visit i1l1 sisters tho bowerses were not tho marrying kind but cherished much family affecuon and columbus at lcngui relieved hut sisters w the necessity of hard work sewing and teaching by an endowment of seventy thousand dollars id government bonds coupon bands gave them a htue safe ln which to keep the bonds in case of are their neighbors and indeed everybody ln uiat small rural community soon knew all about this- there was a utuc vil lage where uiey did their trading throe miles away they brought the coupons as fast as uiey cut them to clio traders there to bo turned into money for their expenses formerly no one thought it unsafe for them to live uiere as they did but after 1017 when so many flcds came to america and automobile bandits began to operate it become liozardouo to have money or valuable uproperty of any kind about especially so for two old ladles living alqne their friends warned uiem to be on their guard and advised them to keep uielr bonds in the vault of some bank dut dovo and lovo vore slow to believe uiey ran any risk their brouia columbus was more alive to present dangers lie urged ex changing uie coupon bonds for register ed bonds and co receiving uielr inter est money directly from washington by mall dut dovb and love liked the coupons it was such a pleasure to cut them off with ulcir shears and take them to uie village uicmselves there upon columbus pondered other means far rendering them more secure the inventive faculty always latent ln the bowers family was roused to astlvity thus far they had been keeping the small safe containing uie bonds ln on old- fashioned brick oven adjoining the fireplace like many farmhouses of former times this one at tho dowers place had a large fireplace at tho back side of uic livingroom with an oven and ashhole at tlie right of it all a expohld at iast 1 am aatlned on one thing at last x found whrru my huijjand spend hti woillnfcs tiuarktd

biff centre chimney after cooking stoves came infuse tho o en was not often heated and it an- owcrcd very well as a receptacle far tho safe tills safe however was not co heavy but that robbers could carry it off bodily bonds and all to prevent this occurring columbus set to work and by uie use of two iron rods and plenty of cement so blocked the mouth of uie oven that the safe could nt bo withdrawn he left a smaller orifice however through which the safe door could bo reached dut bandits of course would make short work of such defense breaking the lock or demolishing tho cement would not delay uiem many minutes brother columbus uierefore bethought himself of other and more effectual schemes for their discomfiture the cellar of uie house dlracuy bo neath the living room was seven or tight feet ln depth working privately in order that no intelligence of his pro ject might got abroad columbus first sawed on aperture eight feet long and six foot wide ln the house floor directly in front of tho oven and in this on strong hinges he hung a trap door which when its supports were released liould swing downward and drop a perr son standing over it into the cellar the ct liar however was not deep enough m suit our inventive relatives idea ol a sulflclcnuy strong pit for bandits so ijl set to work with shovel and pick to dig part of it under uie trapdoor uircc or four feet doe per making uie whole dipth about twelve test and afterwards w th matched boards lie scaled up u kind of well of the come slxe as the trup door that is eight by six fcot if a wouldbe robber wcrq precipitated into that hole with its four smooth walls columbus felt sure uie rascal would have to remain uie re until halned out ior springing thin bencnclent con nivance urothcr columbus did not trust to buttons or bolts which uie weight of two or three persons might render tlifflcult tit release but rigged a strong rop extending from a ring in tlm tlcally scaled glaui bomb nilcd with it thrc ho affix niljo the side or the well under the livingroom ln such a posluon that when the jrap tloor fell it would on it swung down strike and smash uiem releasing the gift at the bottom of the well ills notion was that it might cm- barrajut the bandits awhile and as often as he enmu home afterwards ho look ed the trap over to nee that it wan in good running order anticipating too that if uilcves came uiey might cut uie telephone wire leading from tho house he led in another less conspicuous wire through the orchard ln the rear btul nothing happened and most like ij never would had not home
