By locking through one of the glass windows, however, he could see the wooden door to the vault room standing hof open, form ing a screen to the vault itself, look ing as if the supposed burglars had purposely opened it in order to shield themselves from view
 Finally, after summoning enough policemen to completely surround the building and thus prevent the escape of the supposed robber, two of the policemen forced an entrance through one of the doors. They found, on in- vestigaiton that the night clerk had only gone to sleep and failed to wake up at the proper time, leaving all doors securely locked.

because all the onions are exported,
But II you can make up your mind
to DO without onions, you will have

there are no railroads., and, O,

and fret and rest tired nerves. You
can battle, you can sail on the won

boats are rugged with something
which is almost a. balloon
jib and a leg-o-mutton, or jib-headed
mainsail, and they are of very deep
draught. But they work pretty
handily, and will stand up and sail
fast in rough water, so that you can
take them out beyond the protected

they add to the attractiveness of
