I was in the act of rolling the greenbacks up when l chanced to glance at the transom.

My heart was humping against my ribs like sledge hammer l busted myself with the bills until could collect my thoughts and decide on course of action. Without raising my head l turned my eyes toward the transom. This time no face was visible. I quietly drew my revolver from my hip pocket and slip ped the bills into its place, and then once more raised my head and squarely faced the transom which was turned at an an gle of about 45 degrees.

Sardou.

It is singular fact that the famous French dramatist, Sardou, owed his first success on the boards to his excellent hand writing. He had sent in his often rejected play, ''La Taverne des Etudiants, to the Odeon management for consideration, and the manuscript was thrown, with some others, upon a table. One day at re. hearsal the charming actress, Mile. Der
 engere was attracted by the handwriting and took up the manuscript, crying, "Oh, what an exquisite hand!" She read the play and recommended it so strongly to the directors that they were induced to read it and then accept it. At the time Sardou, now one of tho richest literary men in Eurone, was starving He had

Accounting For His Time.

The amount of time the British work man can devote to tho most trifling job has long been subject for marvel, but many people who grumble when the ac- count is rendered have themselves to blame for putting hindranoes in the way of tho tradesman. One member of the painting craft disposes of any suspicion thore might be as to his idling by entering the following in his time bill:

SUICIDES, PAWN TICKETS.
Brokers Commonly Reckon Them Part
 of Their Assured Profits.

Brokers Commonly Reckon Them as Parf
 of Their Assured Profits.
 The fact that pawnbrokers probably make larger profits on the money they in vest than any other business led the Char ity Organization society of New York to establish a mont de piete of its own fo1 the purpose of making loans to poor per sons at reasonable rates of interest. It has not been great success. There are less red tape and exasperating questioning at the professional pawnbrokers' and therefore poor folks prefer to trade with them. The pawnbrokers' plea has always been that when tho cost of storage is added to the loss sustained through unredeernod pledges but little is left to them of the 24 per cent a year which the law permits them to ex- act.
 That part of their plea relating to unre deemed pledges is merely a blind to hide their real profits. Isaac Simpson, who by the same token is the original of the 31 ''original Simpsons in the pawnbroking trade in this city, said to the reporter My rule in life is never to tell lie What make in my business Is no onc's business but my own. Yet if any man in my line says unredcemed pledges are not the chief sourco of profit then he is liar Yes, that suicide in whose pockets were yesterday found Is pawn tickets" said MT. Simpson, .'made the man who issued them just that much richer. A suicide without pawn tickets on his person is such a rarity that we have come to credit about 15 per cent to that source. When the pa pers report that q suicide had pawn tickets, an agent of the Associated pawnbrokers learns and reports by whom they wero is sued Such pledges are seldom redeemed. Another curious fact about our business is that tho chance is about ono in ten that pledge will be redeemed after the ticket has passed from first hands. They seem to anticipate trouble if they offer to re- deem pledge other than their own So, you see, the pawnbroker is about the only one that gets richer by men killing them selves.
