in his mouth good supply of the tow,

the pocket the cosiest nights lodging in the

"a housebreaker, watching his oppor-
tunity, selected an especially dark night
for getting In through the window OF the
apothecary's little back room behind the
shop, with, as you may imagine, no good
end in view.
ale knew that the apothecsry kept no
dog; he could easily guess where his coat
was likely TO be hanging up. He soon
found the pocket, and was just about to
tighten II of purse, pocket. book and keys,
when a misfortune totally unexpected be-
fel him.
ain rummaging for keys and purse, he
had struck the sleeping squirrel, Of whose
strange habits with regard to his btdrot m
he bad not been aware.
mot liking TO he thus suddenly disturb
ed, the lille animal gave the thief so sharp
a bite on bis thumb that he could not for
bear yelling with pain, and the msster OF
the house, alarmed at the unusual sound,
came into the room armed with the poker,
Just as the thief was escaping through The
window.
