In the lower walks of lie we have the
common burglar, the tramping yaga-

worth stealing. Such men seldom riS,

drunken burglar comes next in the
scale. He loafs around bar-rooms all

brains are all fuddlcd. and ut night he
breaks into some unprotected grocery
store. Now | come to Il very interest

door open. The burglar who works
on this plan finds his task easy. Col

much. You remember that it WAS Onl,

a colored servant. concealed her lover

wanted.
