Settin' that time-lock jaw of his and lightin' a fresh perfecto, Old Hickory grabs his hat; and off we go, with me trailin' along reluctant. His first move is to hail a taxi. "Just goin' to cruise around town casual in the hopes of spottin' him on the fly, eh?" I asks. "Hardly," says Mr. Ellins.
"The floor above," slowly responded the other, "is Richard Penfield's private offices, where his safe is, and where your friend, no doubt, is now depositing his valuables, behind a burglar-proof time-lock!" "Oh, that's it, is it!" cried Durkin. He turned to the woman sharply. "Frank, quick! Leave Keenan to me!" "Yes!" she answered, with coerced attention. "MacNutt must not get out of this house!
You guessed and kept still about it. You've got the makings of a politician, and you are learning fast. Now what do you suppose I'm sneaking up on Varden Waymouth in this way for?" "You said I'd see for myself when the time came. I'm in no hurry, grandfather." The Duke patted Harlan's shoulder. "You're one of my kind, that's sure, boy.

The vault was a small one, but it had a new, patented door. It fastened with three solid steel bolts thrown simultaneously with a single handle, and had a time-lock.

Out of hours and on Saturday after-noons and on Sundays a time-lock rendered it utterly impossible for any person whatever to turn any key in the Safe Deposit.
"During those few seconds it seemed to be more than I could stand; I felt sure that I couldn't do it that I'd go mad if they tried to force me. The idea was so terrible of not being master over your own legs and arms, to have your flesh and blood and what brains God gave you buried alive in stone walls as though they were in a safe with a time-lock on the door set for eight months ahead.
I'm the stony-hearted jailer, I am, from now, henceforth, world 'thout end, amen! No busted miners need apply. I've been a good thing, but to-night I turn on the time-lock." "Ba gosh! You're fonny feller," laughed Poleon, who had lent the one-eyed man much money in the past and, like others, regarded him not merely as a bad risk but as a total loss.
