A Slight Mistake.

a gentlema, az unquesdonable rospocta-
bility living on Frsuklin street went home
late ut night. The neon vas shining bright.
ly; after entering the gate, and in ap-
preaching the house, be was surprised TO
see figure Of man rise suddenly aud face
him. The circumstance was veil. calcula.
ted to make any one 'tremb!e. Burglars and
robbers were in the city; it was reasona.
BILE to suppose this was one. But the gen.
tleman had always understood that in such
emergencies it was best to put on a show Of
courage even If you didu't feel any.
To this end be put his hand in bis peck
ct aud then Withdrawing it, EXTENDED il to-
ward ,he supposed outlaw as if he hsd a
pistol in it and meant to shoct him. The
man did the sauna. Now the gentleman
was only making believe be had n pistol.
for be had none, but he was not certain the
intruder was equally deficient in firearms.
On the contrary, he thought he was armed d,
and the s,eely glitter of pistol he was
sure was flashing before bis eyes. His hair
bristled with horror aud be cried out:
Stop, you rascal don't shoot, don't
shoot
But still the arm was extended, and the
fear OF death was heavy upon the gentle
man. He shouted murder, thieves, aud
robbers
The cries of the frightened citizen a.
reused his wife, who came rushing to the
door terror'stricken, inquiring the cause of
the alarm.
Why, that rascal is going to shoot me ;
what rascal, my dear ? inquired the
lady.
'Tbere don't you see him 2 pointing
to the still silent figure.
why, my dear, that's your shado,c !"
what =
'Your shadow
BLESSED if it isn't thought il was a man. ,
NO. my dear it's only the reflection Of "a brute,
and very tight one at that
And the salubrous citizen was conducted to
his couch
