In 1862 he was assigned to making up the currency packages and fulfilled that duty until his death, in 1894. No mistake was ever discovered in his work, though he handled every cent of currency issued by the government for thirty-two years so many millions of dollars that it would take a week to figure them up.

To add to the general comfort, a gentle north-west breeze blew all through the day, besides being what Bett-Bett called a "shady day," cloudy and cool; and to add to the general rejoicing, before we had quite done with "Clisymus" an extra mail came in per black boy a mail sent out to us by the "courtesy of our officers" at the Katherine, "seeing some of the packages felt like Christmas."
Bartley finished addressing the newspapers, and then he put them up in wrappers and packages for the mail. "You can go, now, Marilla," he said to the girl. "I'll leave some copy for you and Kitty; you'll find it on my table in the morning." "All right," answered the girl.

"You are home early, Paul," said his mother. "Surely you haven't sold out by this time." "No, but all my packages are gone." "How is that?" "They were stolen." "Tell me about it." So Paul told the story. "That Mike was awful mean," said Jimmy, indignantly. "I'd like to hit him." "I don't think you would hurt him much, Jimmy," said Paul, amused at his little brother's vehemence.
I had arranged with Maschka that Schofield should bring me the whole of the work Andriaovsky had left behind him; and he arrived late one afternoon in a fourwheeler, with four great packages done up in brown paper.

And then they came back to the screened entrance and stepped outside. Wanda held up her field glasses to him. "Look out that way," she ordered him. "No, Goosy.
These goods have been here for months, or years maybe, by the look of the packages; and depend on it the owners would not have let them stay where they are, if they could have come back to fetch them away."
