smart turned east with a four- figured check in his pocket nnd js rob hickman started in to enjoy hix new poaaeaslon and the envy of all other hotel keepers in the neighbor hood he came to love that safe it was the pride and joy of his life also it became the dearest aversion of his friends and acquaintances and of everyone who came within earshot of him no matter where he might be or what the subject of conversation he inevitably managed to steer it around to the safe once when he had talked his com panions almost to the verse of insan ity old teremlnh macluren openly informed him that in his opinion the rnife was a snare of the devil that mr hickmans pride in it was nothing less than sinful and that sooner or later hed be visited by some terrible judgment in consequence but jerry maclaren was a scot and a rival hotelkeeper to boot so it may bare been jealousy nnd not mere piety which instigated his remarks one day when jacob hickman went downstairs to pay one of hi nnnierous dally visits to the safe komothlng luii- pened he unfustened the door stepped lnj deliverer and then promptly fainted ids and feeling a slight drag on the loose alpaca jacket he wna wearing cave a sharp jerk the action if un thinking was a perfectly natural ono three seconds inter there was a smart click swinging around jacob hickman faced the safe door it bad closed be hind him the door opened outwards that slight jerk which had released his jacket caught probably in the door knob had set the heavy door in mo tion upon its wellklled and nicely ad justed hinges and the patent auto matic lock had done the rest hickman was a stent roan it was a very hot day and his forehead was covered with drops of pers iisis a iiiiiiaiiiijiiitiiiii 17 i t thftnthe entereatwe earec his paralysedbrald suddenly awoke and asserted itself and he started to yell like a drunken indian unthinking he yelled and hammered at the door with his bare lists until he was exhausted and ms knockles were bruised and bleeding by and by his breath cane back and be began to think with ataaa meas ure of coherence and to realise the horror of tils position here he was a prisoner without means of escape or hope of release true the key of the door was in hit pocket he hid taken it from the lack when he opened the safe bqt that didnt help him any there was a duplicate itey but that was in a secret drawir of ma bureau and therefore useless indeed if blckiaene presence lathe safe became known ae eae could lad itam ma sifolass vu smviimiij wife did den again the pipes oiled with llenm ummonla kept tht

life to his body his blows became more violent and presently the hammer hnn- lle snapped short at the head then n furious anger selred him he called down curses on the clever engineer yho had constructed the door and in vented the patent lock on himself and on all creation seising one of the oak billets he neat at the door as if it were mr smarts ingenious head he wan ham mering his arms ached horribly hut htlll he continued presently his fremyfllled eyea oeemed to see a faint crack in the nolld metal in front of him the length of timber apllntered and rtrnlce in hln hands but snatching an other piece he continued hla furious onslaught his straining eyes saw the rollrt metal slab bulging omtwnrdn rod in heaven i it wis true then the ateel had split the crack was be coming wider before his eyes a streak of white showed between the dnrk ragged edges co thought of the smart eastern en gineering firm came into jacob hick mans mind as he pushed his finger into the gap and plucked forth sort rhavlngs cotton waste and refuse wool until his finger nalli scratched on the outside steel covering of the door inserting one end of hla piece of oak into the crack alas for the du plicity of mankind the iron was no thicker than thai of a oooklngpan hickman shoved inward and used it phi lever tugging and straining until trie heet of metal ripped away like a strip of brown paper then nalng his weapon as a rammer he stabbed at the outside steel the sound of a human voice caught his ears what de hells de mattert it said sme one strolling into the base ment had beard the infernal row and come to investigate he screamed hoarse direction and in a few minutes the sharp teeth of a renter bit was cutting into the iron a nmall hole was loon made hick man passed the key
