* Bluffed*
Weariness had overtaken the junior
partner. It had been a hard day. Gold
and bonds in three separate raid vast
consignments had come in late too
late for deposit. For the night nearly
a million dollars must remain in the
office safe. The unexpected influx had
kept the junior partner Inter than usu
al, for he was a master of the detail of
his office. For a time lie debated estab
lishing an extra guard at the office,
lint gave over that idea. Special pre
cautions would arouse talk, and (here
were business reasons for keeping the
matter quiet. Anyway, the burglar
alarm system and the special watch
man were sufficient guarantee of safe
ty. So the junior partner leaned back
in his easy office cliair and closed bis
eyes for a motnent.
"Anything more, Mr. Franklin ?”
asked the senior bookkeeper from the
inner office, where tlie big safe was
kept.
“No. Has every one gone?"
‘‘Every one but you and me, sir,” re
plied the other with the exact particu
larity of language which is the result
of long years spent over ledgers.
“Good night, then. I shall be coming
along in a few moments.”
It seemed a very few moments after
the door had closed on the head book
keeper when Franklin opened his eyes
again. Ho swung forward In his chair,
dazed, for darkness was about him.
Consciousness, dragging itself slowly
from the cloying sands of sleep, strug
gled with vague uncertainties. The
flicker of an electric light from Wall
street, seen through a distant window,
helped the junior partner to recall him
self to realities. He half turned, and in
Unit instant was wide awake, for a
harsh, startled voice outside said:
“What's that?”
“Shut, your head,” piped another
voice in a high, piercing tone instinct
with savagencss. “You didn’t hear any
thing.”
“Maybe ‘twas somethin* outside.
Where's the glim?”
"Don't open up too wide, you fool,”
warned the high voice ns a band of
light appeared and broadened through
the darkness.
Sitting motionless as stone, Frank
lin heard the men moving along the
outside partition until they reached a
point opposite him. There was a fum
bling at the door, which was fastened
by a spring lock.
“Hold on,” said the gruff voice. “Le's
climb over tlio partition.”
“Climb over nothing!” retorted the
other voice angrily. “Going out to look
for a ladder. 1 suppose. D'you think
we got all night to waste?”
“You said the watchman was doped
for two hours.”
“What's two hours to a bungling fool
iike-you up against a good safe?”
“You gimme uii hour at this safe, and
I’ll make a wide open Noo York of it,”
said the gruff voice confidently.
“Open up that door first, then,” said
the other.
“That's all right, but every time 1
tackle a door 1 think of that burglar
alarm we run against iti Stern's joolry
store.”
"We ain’t goln’ to run against any
alarm here. Didn’t I tell you I squared
the janitor’s assistant and fixed the
wires lu the cellar?”
“Well, there might be”—
“Well, there ain’t,” broke in the oth
er furiously. “Cut it out! D’you think
you can teach me anything about any
kind of wires, alarm or telegraph, or
anything else? Haven’t I been every
thing from lineman to operator, and
didn’t 1 run the wire tapping outfit
that bilked the poolrooms last year?”
“Hold the light here, then,” growled
the confederate. “The lock’s dead
easy.”
During this conversation Franklin
sat paralysed at his desk. Any re
sistance that he could put up against
the robbers would be almost useless.
He bad never kept a revolver in his
desk and was accustomed to deride
mildly the more cautious men of his
acquaintance who always kept a load
ed weapon at hand. Now he cursed
himself for neglecting this precaution,
recalling a saying of a western friend:
“You don’t want a gun very often,
but when you do want it you want il
bad.”
The entrance of the robbers meant
ruin to him and to his firm. How easy
the safe would be for them he knew
better than they, for the heavy door
had been left open at his orders that he
might put some papers in it before
Sfcsing. On any other night the safe
would have been closed. But this
night, of all others, the junior partner
had fallen asleep at his post, and not
only he himself, but a thousand inno
cent people, whose interests were
bound up in the house, were to suffer
the penalty. Well, he would at least
do what he could to save them, though
It were at the forfeit of his own life.
A wild idea of smashing his window
and shouting for help he put aside.
To send one’s voice ringing up and
down an empty airshaft, bordered by
vacant windows, would be a cheerless
performance and prodigal of breath
that be might need later on.
Then It came to his mind that his pa
per cutter was a Malay creese, small,
but keen and strong. Armed with this
lie could creep over to the door and
wtoUt least one ofjthe
invaders. Undoubtedly the other would
shoot him, but that didn’t much mat
ter, and possibly the second man might
not care to wait for loot under the cir
cumstances. Sliding his hand along in
search of the weapon, he touched with
an exploring linger the spring lock of
his desk. It gave a little and flew up
with a metallic click. Like a flash the
thought of how he had in idle mo
ments sat there and with ills pencil
shaft on the look ticked off Morse code
messages to nowhere, joined with tko
memory of what the high voice had
said as to its owner's telegraphic ac
quirements, and the two ideas coa
lesced in a well defined hope. As an
operator the Junior partner was some
what rusty, and as an instrument the
spring lock was only u fair tonal imi
tation. itut it was a chance - the best
one in sight and as such lo be seized.
Franklin seized it.
At the first accidental click the fum
bling at the door had ceased.
“There’s somebody In there,” growled
tlie harsh voice, quavering tliroatily.
Evidently its owner was in a tremu
lous state of mind. There was nothing
tremulous about ids partner.
“In your mind,” he snarled. “If there
is, I've got a bullet for him and my
knife for you, you sniveling whelp, if
you don’t brace up,” ho added in a
frenzied squeal.
“Don't,” gasped the other, "i’ll go
oil. I’ll”
“Tick-tick, ti-ick; tick-tick, ti-ick;
tick-tick, ti-ick,” sounded clear through
(lie darkness.
“There!” (haltered the man who was
working on the door. “Did you-did
you-- M’lin at, was It?”
There was a period of silence, broken
only by file sharp clicking.
“It's a telegraph call; that’s what it
is. 1 don't have to boa operator to
know that.’' The quavering voice was
answering its own question.
“It couldn't lie.” There was not the
fierce assurance in the piping voice
now (bat there had been. “It don't
sound like any Instrument I over
heard. (Hi, ( know'.” Relief was evi
dent in the tone, and a correspondingly
sickening feeling rose in the Junior
partner's chest. "it's one of those
stock tickers working overtime. You
ain't going to let a thing like that”—
“You said you'd cut the wires,”
growled the other voice, “You lied to
me. 1 ain't goiu’ to stay. Agrrh!
I.oggo my throat!” The growl had
suddenly been compressed to a wheez
ing squeak.
“Open up that door or I’ll strangle
.vou!” The piping voice had a wild
beast note In it now.
The fumbling at the door was re
sumed. Fi'iiuklL: could hear the lock
sliding. Doggedly he kept on with his
pencil, spelling out ids faked message.
“Tick-tick-tick, tick, ti-lck tick, fl ick
tick-tick. 'I li k tick-tick lick tick”- -
"It’s a message,” The high voice was
shriller than ever. "H e n-d h e—send
help!” A high pitched, savage oath
rang in the air. "Gut it, Dutch, tie's
got a private wire there."
The Junior partner got to his feel,
pressed a button and leaped upon his
desk, in the Hood of light that he had
turned on he could see over the parti
tion a tall, thickset fellow leading a
little, wiry, r dheaded man iii a race
to tlio outer door. There the little man,
half turning, saw him.
“Ah, you would!” he screamed furi
ously. "Take that!”
His revolver spurted flume. There
was a crash of glass, and Franklin
jumped to the floor unhurt. Across the
office lie raced, threw up a window and
sent his voice ringing out between the
high buildings of the street.
“Around in Broad sired!” he called
as trampling feet answered bis shouts
and the dark figures of two policemen
appenred.
Then he went back, closed the safe,
seated himself at his desk and wrote
busily. When the detectives from the
police station came in, breathless, he
handed a slip ol’ paper to each.
“There's the best description I can
give of the men!” he said. “You can
read it ns you run.”

Sand and dust whirls occur in arid
regions in hot weather. They may
be anywhere from a rod to several
rods In diameter and from twenty to
a thousand feet high. They are some
times compound, a score or more small
whirls forming a whirling circle around
a common center. They are very com
mon in India. They sometimes carry
up so much sand in t lie Sahara and
Arabia that those on whom the sand
falls are overwhelmed. They occur
also in the arid regions of the United
States.
In the Magdalena valley, across the
mountains westward from Socorro, in
New Mexico, during a hot day in sum
mer they form at the head of a valley
In a long, slender, vertical column
perhaps 000 feet high and then travel
down the valley toward the village of
Magdalena, over which they burst
sometimes, bringing little puffs of con
trary winds and a shower of fine dust.
In some places a group of stationary
whirls of the same general character
as the preceding is tied down to one
point. Such are the whirls which form
sometimes over volcanoes.
