Never trust to alleys" said the inspec-

every one of them. If Ellsworth had been
passing along public street where there
is more travel, he probably would not
have been assaulted"
"And we would not be out twenty thou

"Oh, that will come back. But must
go and see how my instructions are being
carried out"

almost too confident. Yet he may sue

the thief and the recovery of the money.
In fact, l communicated with the presi-

took his departure.
In returning to the bank he somehow
found himself again scanning the counte-
