MAX ADLER on BURGLARS.

OF late several burglaries have been COM
mitted in the neighborhood in which Mr..
James Simpson lives, and, of course, the
folks are not little alarmed. In Simpsons
row alone, enough fire arms and ammuni-
fair sized war with Mexico, and Simpson,
particularly, has bought a whole army OF
weapons and loaded them to the muzzle.
Simpsons brother-in-law, George Washing.
ton Budd, commonly known as "Wash,"
upon going to bed has made such prepare.
tion and display Of various kinds Of engines
Of destruction that locker on might have
concluded that his purpose was to conduct
kind Of battle of Gettysburg on his own res.
possibility.
The other night Wash, after recapping all
his revolvera, running his thumb along the
edge of his broad sword, half cooking his
gun, and laying his bowieknife on the chair,
thought he heard a burglar prowllng about
down stairs. Buckling on his artillery,
Wash, in stocking feet crept down staircase,
determined to aunihilate the thief.
Simpson heard the noise at the same mo.
ment. They stopped and listened. Wash
thought he heard the burglar in the parlor.
Simpson felt sure the rascal was in the din
ing-room pocketing the spoons. So, while
Wash tred noiselessly frontwards. Simpson
stepped stealthily to the rear. Midway in
the hall they came into collision. Each
felt perfectly certain that the other was the
burglar.
Wash grappled with his antagonist in
stantly. Simpson knew that death strug
gle had begun. go he took hold with all his
might. Neither had chance to draw theil
weapons.
Wash strove to throw his burglar down
and Simpson, perceiving the game made
huge effort to PROSTATE Wash. They pushe'
and pulled and jerked and showed ant
painted, humping up against the wall, kick
ing up the carpet and making such hub
hub that Mrs. Simpson, in her room an
afraid to come out, lif,ed up her voice an
screamed With awful vehemence.
