The room Is divided by q partition, the upper
part Of which is an iron netting, the lower part
being OF wood surmounted by q narrow shelf
like counter. The whole partition is a little over
six feet high. In It is a door which is secured
on tho inside by q spring lock. Inside the partl-
tion are a desk, a counter. and an old. fashioned
double-doored safe. A window projects into the
