of brick, with u thin layer of crumbling

more than four fpH thick. It wm a
comparatively eaay matter for an en?

In addition to Um? buggy axle, there
were f&iftul a curved pick and a Ash

When he got inside the vault he found
everything convenient. The money was

took TiUwflew of bills done up In pack
