The day OF the picturesque smuggler IS
over No longer does his swift craft steal
into the harbor Of some seaside village In
the dead OF night and his brawny men pull
for 'he beach to unload boxes and barrels
Of rare stuff and hide them on shore until
such time as they may be distributed with
out fear OF the revenue otrcer. But that
does not mean that smuggling is a lost
art by any means, for. in spite Of the army
OF men that Uncle Sam employs to guard
his sources Of revenue and see that no
dutiable articles are brought in until he
gets share Of the profit on them, hundreds
OF thousands OF dollars worth of goods

Diamond smuggling Is perhaps the most

no trouble in getting them to Montreal. but

road crosses from one country to another

agents who keep watch on the dealers

The new punishment cells were In the

ran the small, swift river Tene. This outer
wall, almost the sole outstanding portion Of
the castle, was fashioned OF enormous gran
ite blocks, and its thickness throughout was
nearly four feet.
The tye new punishment cells occupied a
short corridor one end OF which was en-
closed, while at the other end an iron wicket
led into little circular yard
with very high walls, where pris-
oners in close confinement were exercised
separately during one hour of the twenty
four. This yard communicated. by means
OF stone passage and two other wickets,
with d hall Of the prison, and the night
warder in d patrolled the far corridor every
fifteen minutes.
That night warder had just discovered
that the dark cell into which old
Remnant had been locked in the morning
was empty. He had seen him, a quarter OF

plank. II this were strange, stranger a
hundred times was the sight which the cell

Later In the day a man halted his
wagon In front of my place and asked the
road to certain town. He was an immI-

UNCLE SANS ARMORED WAGON.
Carries "a Big Fortune Daily Through
| the Streets of Washington.

the Streets of Washington.
Almost any day on the streets OF Wash
ington there can be seen wagon loaded
with $1,000. 900 or more in cash, or with
thousands OF dollars worth Of stamps and
quantities OF the priceless paper used In
the printing OF money. This is the United
States tIeasury's cash wagon. IL might
at first sight seem an easy way to become
a millionaire by holding up" the outfit
and getting away with the contents, but
the execution of the undertaking would
prove exceedingly difficult as we'll as
dangerous to life and limb Although the
route traversed by this daily conveyances
of money lies in a comparatively unfre-
quented part OF the city and bordering
great park. nobody has ever essayed to in
terfere with 1t, nor do the treasury officials
lie awake OF nights worrying about its liza
blity to successful attack.
The wagon is OF bullet-proof steel, and
is constructed in a manner to present great
resistance to a forcible attack. II opens
at one end by the removal OF immense
steel bars, and the unlocking of an intricate
system OF safety locks. The body OF the
wagon hangs low to the ground and is COW
cred with a wooden roof and awning the
conveyance being drawn by three great
draught horses that sometimes have hard
pull TO move the cumbrous affair. This Is
when 1t is loaded with box after box OF
precious 'grsenbacks, newly printed
money in bills OF all denominations, or with
the even more valuable paper from which
the money is made. AS a matter of fact
counterteiters would rather have the paper
than the printed money, for with that in
their possession they could turn out as
much money and in as large denominations
as they chose.
In addition to the immunity from rob
berry afforded by the steel casting and the
heavy locks and bars the wagon has the
protection OF an armed guard which ac-
companies II at all times when valuables
are aboard. Four men. in addition to the
driver, usually go with the conveyance.
They carry big navy revolvers on their per-
sons, and several Winchester rifles are
ready at hand under the drivers seat.
While the money is being loaded and un-
loaded at the treasury building or at the
bureau OF engraving and printing the es-
cort guard is augmented by the presence
Of watchmen from the building, who stand
around In an unostentatious way but ready
for business. careful system OF checks
and receipts requires accounting for the
contents OF the wagon, and there Is no
possible loophole for anything TO get away.
The vehicle travels between the bureau
OF engraving and printing. where money.
stamps and bonds are made, and the treas
ury OF the United States. where they are
stored.
The men who handle the money Become
so accustomed TO seeing and lingering i'm
