them Was a low so-callcd variety theatre
called "The Cricket which, when the

neither vaudeville nor legitimate drama
could prosper, and the Cricket crowd

She seized tho doube-barrelled CUR

down stairs, while the two frightened
men watched her without saying word
Presently bang! went the gun, and
yroan WAS heard. Bang. went the sec

sounded through the house that caused
The blood of the brothers 10 run cold.
A brief pause ensued, and then Marie
came tripping up stairs, but her face
wore determined, satisfied look. Sb'

which were furnished; but before she
finished loading, footsteps were heard re-
treating from tho house.
No one slept in the house that night,
no, were they again molested. But al
early dawn, on gong down stairs, a
pool of blood on the hall floor showed
that one robbcr at least had been serious

earth that the victim had been dragged

distance, and the police were at once put
on the alert for the arrest of the living
thieves and the recovery OF the body ~
the dead one.
But all efforts proved vain, and the
bravery ofth young girl WAS discussed
