"Then you will take the money in bills?"
"Yes, sir, if you please."
The agent went to a safe on the opposite side of the room, and opened it.
"That's a queer sort of a cupboard, Mr. Marks," said Adin Dunham.
The agent smiled.
"Yes," he answered. "If you are going to keep the money in your house, you may have to buy one."
"How much does it cost?"
"I gave a hundred and twenty-five dollars for this," he said.
Adin Dunham whistled. He had not supposed it would cost over fifteen.
"I shan't buy one," he said.
