Just now I had e on a special mis- sion. It appeared that Meyers had pald down $10,000 on the purchase of a lurge mine. It was a rare bar- gain, but the seller wanted to be sure the baiance would come along in stipulated installments. Our rat- Ing guaranteed it, but I wanted @ new financial statement to be sure we were right. I entered the counting room, to find it untenanted, sat down beside a desk and walted. Upon the desk lay an open letter, apparently just received. At @ glance I saw it was addressed to Miss Purcell and from Meyers. It told her that the manager of their grent branch house in another city had disappeared with almost its en- tire cash capital, which meant “fall- re and ruin unless—" A step behind me prevented my reading further. It was Miss Pur- cell, but I had already gained a great tip. The house of Israel Meyers was Insolvent and that item of news belonged to my agency.

The door had crashed to upon me, shutting me ‘into the vault a helpless prisoner. I watehed my captor run to the front door and close and lock it to prevent’ any in- trusion. “Do you understand?” she asked, with a doubtful smile playing about her lips, i “I think so,” I rejoined, with a shrug of my shoulders, “It is clever.
