The, Second Key
THE express company put In n mod

didn't help IJIlly Menth, the agent at
Round Hill, who was under arrest en a
charge of nbitractlng a package con
taining $18,000 in currency from the
old safe.
It looked mielitv bad for Jicath. The
safe hadn't been broken into. It bad
Just been unlocked. Furthermore, even
though the lock was one of these old
style affairs, like an ordinal y deer
lock, there hadn't been nn opportunity,
nt the time Menth tcstlticd the robbery
liad taken place, for any one te hnve
picked the lock.
There wns only one key te the safe.
Menth kept this en his own key ring,
and wnsn't supposed te allow it out of
hl9 possesien. Menth wns en duty
from 8:110 in the morning until 5 In the
afternoon, from the time the express
eQlcc opened until it closed. He had

two dajs, waiting for the nddrcsscc te
come nnd claim it. Mcnth nnd Gress
(that was the assistant's tin in c) had re
ceipted for it and rcglsterdd it. nnd
Meatli had placed It en the second shelf
of the safe.
"It wns just nbeut OifiS." said
Menth, "when I epered the Hnfc te get
a little jewelry parcel n Mr. Everett
Jenes called for. The money was there
then. I locked the safe nftcrwnrd and
put the key In my pocket. Then I no
ticed my watch hnd tun down, nnd I

"Did ii ever let (.ress have the

"Only once." decinred Meat'' "nnd

key te see It there were nnv pnrtlcles of

That was about .T dnvs before the

thinned-out oil will damage your engine mere in one day than

cleaned and refilled with SUNOCO Moter Oil. Any SUNOCO
dealer will knew which of its six distinct ifjpes is scientifically
adapted for your car.

your engine will surprise you. Yeu will get greater gasoline and
oil mileages and pay fewer repair bills.
SUNOCO eliminates carbon and excess friction and assures
