Stories
began
to
crop
up
—
those
ever
-
enduring
,
droll
stories
which
form
the
major
portion
of
the
conversation
among
American
men
under
such
circumstances
.
Twelve
o
’
clock
arrived
,
the
hour
for
closing
,
and
with
it
the
company
took
leave
.
Hurstwood
shook
hands
with
them
most
cordially
.
He
was
very
roseate
physically
.
He
had
arrived
at
that
state
where
his
mind
,
though
clear
,
was
,
nevertheless
,
warm
in
its
fancies
.
He
felt
as
if
his
troubles
were
not
very
serious
.
Going
into
his
office
,
he
began
to
turn
over
certain
accounts
,
awaiting
the
departure
of
the
bartenders
and
the
cashier
,
who
soon
left
.
It
was
the
manager
’
s
duty
,
as
well
as
his
custom
,
after
all
were
gone
to
see
that
everything
was
safely
closed
up
for
the
night
.
As
a
rule
,
no
money
except
the
cash
taken
in
after
banking
hours
was
kept
about
the
place
,
and
that
was
locked
in
the
safe
by
the
cashier
,
who
,
with
the
owners
,
was
joint
keeper
of
the
secret
combination
,
but
,
nevertheless
,
Hurstwood
nightly
took
the
precaution
to
try
the
cash
drawers
and
the
safe
in
order
to
see
that
they
were
tightly
closed
.
Then
he
would
lock
his
own
little
office
and
set
the
proper
light
burning
near
the
safe
,
after
which
he
would
take
his
departure
.
Never
in
his
experience
had
he
found
anything
out
of
order
,
but
to
-
night
,
after
shutting
down
his
desk
,
he
came
out
and
tried
the
safe
.
His
way
was
to
give
a
sharp
pull
.
This
time
the
door
responded
.
He
was
slightly
surprised
at
that
,
and
looking
in
found
the
money
cases
as
left
for
the
day
,
apparently
unprotected
.
His
first
thought
was
,
of
course
,
to
inspect
the
drawers
and
shut
the
door
.
“
I
’
ll
speak
to
Mayhew
about
this
to
-
morrow
,
”
he
thought
.
The
latter
had
certainly
imagined
upon
going
out
a
half
-
hour
before
that
he
had
turned
the
knob
on
the
door
so
as
to
spring
the
lock
.
He
had
never
failed
to
do
so
before
.
But
to
-
night
Mayhew
had
other
thoughts
.
He
had
been
revolving
the
problem
of
a
business
of
his
own
.
“
I
’
ll
look
in
here
,
”
thought
the
manager
,
pulling
out
the
money
drawers
.
He
did
not
know
why
he
wished
to
look
in
there
.
It
was
quite
a
superfluous
action
,
which
another
time
might
not
have
happened
at
all
.
As
he
did
so
,
a
layer
of
bills
,
in
parcels
of
a
thousand
,
such
as
banks
issue
,
caught
his
eye
.
He
could
not
tell
how
much
they
represented
,
but
paused
to
view
them
.
Then
he
pulled
out
the
second
of
the
cash
drawers
.
In
that
were
the
receipts
of
the
day
.
“
I
didn
’
t
know
Fitzgerald
and
Moy
ever
left
any
money
this
way
,
”
his
mind
said
to
itself
.
“
They
must
have
forgotten
it
.
”
He
looked
at
the
other
drawer
and
paused
again
.
