Hunt found that the three men had
come to Walton with splendid recon-
mcndations, and had entered his EN-
ploy at various times in the previous
year. They looked MS though they could
take care of themselves with credit in
II rough and tumble, and seemed thor
ouehly reliable.
Two nights later in the offices of the
Walton agency the red light flashed over
the number of Aberfoyle & Ebbeson. A
detail of men was rushed to the bank
ing Offices instantly. This time they
made the trip in five minutes. They
found Harvey Hunt standing guard over
their own three men, whom he had
lined up against the wall. their hands
above their heads. by the wall of the
vault lay bomb of tremendous power,
but the dctonator was n blank, and it
had not exploded.
Just before Aberfoyle himself arrived
one of Hunts assistants drove around
the corner, his automatic pressed into
the shoulder blades of the chauffeur Of
the high powered getaway car.
ut was quite simple" explained
Hunt TO the banker. 'For the last
couple of days when ! have visited you
here in the late afternoon l have been
looking for the bomb. l found it yes
terday behind that scrapbasket under
meath your own desk in your own pri-
vatc Office, while you were out Of the
room, and | made it harmless by tam
pering with the detonator. Then, you
see, all | had to do was to conceal my
self outside the building, and wait until

0INIE'NE done everything We can
w think Of. Mr.. Hunt. but my mind
has been uneasy all morning, and
thought I'd feel better if l laid the case
before you. even if you do nothing more
than tell me our precautions are suf-
ficient."
The speaker was J. DiCton Abcrfoyle.
the senior partner of the !Abcrfoyle x
Ebbcson banking and brokerage firm.
'Ill give YOU the whole story he
continued. "Thcre's little enough to it
so far. That half million in gold has
been in our vault since last Tuesday.
It's not publicly known. Of course, but
! dare say there are ways in which it
could be found out by Il clever crook.
Might have found out from Chicago.
We haven't mentioned it to anybody
here except the protective agency, Dick
Nalton's concern, you know. That vault
of ours is the last word in burglar
proof construction. Cnd"rncath the
outer skin there is an insulated layer
of silver foil, you know, which is cleo

don't know the electricians technical
term for it-bur anyhow the idea is that
the least thing touching that layer will
cause a diff renee in the flow of the
current through it and instruments at
the Walton headquarters show it at
once. You see the alarm must be given
before the burglar even gets his drill
into the steel The wires are all buried
in secret channels, and of course any
thing touching them would give the
alarm. too. With an outfit as delicate
as that it wouldn't be possible, they tell
NE. for a burglar TO switch the current
into another circuit of exactly the same
resistance without the fractional inter
ruption OF the current registering an
alarm.
