that lead to the upper story are denied
and worn with long usage and the going
up and down, many feet. The little noti-
fioation on the whitewashed wall just
within the narrow doorway, the hand
pointing out that the Office is above. is

safes, having a veritable iron bolt and
paddock in plain evidence and none of the
ornamental graces OF the modern safe
guards the business papers and the treas
ures of the company just as 1t guarded
them in the time of the grandfathers of
the present 1ncumbents. Nobody has
gone about to prove 1t. but 1t Ia believed
by frequenters of the otfice-and people
go there now. though not often on urgent
business-that no safe of this exact primi-
tive pattern exists anywhere in America.
Its comreers have been discarded and sold
for old iron long ago, but this d. 81. D.

he has taken on the gil tn and the astute
countenance of middle life.

of late, but they have each been at their
post all the same, and their salaries have
gone on and been paid as regularly as
though business were brisk. The old

ships messengers who grew up and drift
