If many thieves of my calibre existed, you'd have to blot the word 'property' out of the dictionary. Precautions, as well as safes, would be useless. Happily for men of property, criminals are idiots." "What is he coming to?" thought the doctor. "One day, I became afraid of my own thoughts.
"Moira darlin'," said President O'Hanrahan gently, "you don't lock up dinies. They gnaw through steel safes. They make tunnels and nests in electric dynamos. You don't lock up dinies, darlin'!" "But I did!" she insisted. "They're still locked up. I looked just before we started for here!" The president looked at her very unhappily. "There's no need for shenanigans between us, Moira!"
"Yes", said Harris, "I think I see old Pat leaving the lot with me what O! You know 'ow I'd fondle it for you, and keep it out of the cold, cold world, till you came back, don't you, you bald-headed priest?" "Shut your mouth, boy. We can't take it away without something, as Mr. Frankl very justly observes. Aren't there some safes, Frankl, in Adair Street?"
A specie-currency may be converted into ear-rings, but it is no longer a currency; it may be buried in iron pots, or locked in iron safes, but it is not then a currency; it may be exported to foreign lands, but it is not there a currency until reauthorized. Currencies, properly speaking, are ideas clothed in words, the words of a nation, otherwise called laws.
"That's a new one on me," said the newcomer. "I thought I'd been up against 'em all. What are you in for?" "I hit my boss." "Oh that's it. What did he do?" "He he treated me mean." "I see. You're what's called an honest workingman!" "What are you?" Jurgis asked. "I?" The other laughed. "They say I'm a cracksman," he said. "What's that?" asked Jurgis. "Safes, and such things," answered the other.
So conscious was the manager of the responsibility which devolved upon him in consequence of the great interests at stake that safes of the very latest construction have been employed, and an armed watchman has been left day and night in the building. It appears that last week a new clerk named Hall Pycroft was engaged by the firm.
"Oh, there is plenty of room, thank you. I can very easily get at it. It isn't the first safe I've had to work on this way. Many families have safes hidden like this. It's a good idea." He looked at the safe, noted the manufacturer's number, and consulted a little book he carried with him.
For something out of the usual had happened. At the close of a passage of great stress between the two, every nerve in the secretary's body tingling from undeserved abuse, the Manager had suddenly turned full upon him, in the corner of the private room where the safes stood, in such a way that the glare of his red eyes, magnified by the glasses, looked straight into his own.
How did you open our burglar-proof safe?" Johnson laughed. "My father was a manufacturer of safes," he answered. "I know the tricks of my trade." Jaspar Panel owned a section of rough, hilly land to the north-east of Paradise. Everybody called him Uncle Jap.
The jewelry department was in the front of the building on one of the upper floors, with wide windows through which the bright morning light streamed attractively on the glittering wares that the clerks were taking out of the safes and disposing to their best advantage. The store had not opened yet, and we could work unhampered. From his packages, Kennedy took three black boxes.
