fiiifl equal to two columns of
printed matter. Although my answer was
not premeditated, I didn't think it altogether
« bad notion. Accordingly, for tbe next
or ttaiee weeks my house became tbe
atnnt icsoit of blacksmiths, whitesmiths,
locksmiths, and people in the engineeiing
way, Ml oC whom, however, failed utterly in
the attempt to open tbe unpickable undrill
able fire and thief proof, Lot 247. They
fairly owned it beat them. I wanted the
safe opened, however, for the reason Hint,
being opened, it might become an nrliclc
both useful and saleable, whereas
ning, au idea of unusual
and I pul (
It
neither. One
biilliancy occurred to
hat, and went out to put it In practice,
walked up to our great model jail, and s
the governor, with whom I had previously
some acquaintance. I told him I should
feel deeply obliged if he could render
assistance, and then came to the purport of
my visit. , , . _
"Have you, my good, sir, such a thing
a good strong burglar in the establishment,
that you could lend me for an hour or two.
Audi explained what 1 wanted lum loi.—
But the governor shook bis head, and said
lie was sorry lo disoblige me, but it couldu t
be done, ns all their burglars were in use,
and couldn't be spared ofi tbe premises —
Very good;but supposing I were lo scud the
safe up to the burglar, to while away a few
ol his leisure hours at a congenial pursuit.
No. He didn't see that he could;it would be
against the rules; besides which, tliiu' burg
lars had become so reformed by attention to
the ministrations of the chaplain, that it was
exceedingly doubtful if they would be will
ing to return to sinful ways, such as brenk
jug open safes, lest it might b '°w a w i y
»pirit that would iutei fere with theirllckUs
of-leave; and then, again, there were n
burglars'tools in the jail,
"l>ll tell you what, though, he 8nul *
n bit; "I dare say I could find you a ticket
ol-leive ir.au who would do it. They rcpoit
themselves to us at stated Intervals,
wc always know where to find thorn,
deed, I think I know just the very man, and
will send him to you."
"Ouo evening, in Inc twilight, about a
wec k ufterwards, our servant came In, n
8ome alarm, to say that that two very 1H
luoking nun were at the back dooi,
8a i d they lmd "come to crack the gov
