Where Jack Wheelan Concealed Him.
selfin Neighbours House,
What was his Motive?

A few nights ago. the family of Mr..
Byron Schrauger, 220S Fifth avenue, who
is an engineer on the c.. r. |. & P. road,
and was away from home at the time
came down town TO buy some goods, the
youngest little girl going over 10 the fam
lily of Mrs. Wheelan, friendly neighbor
to spend the evening. Thus the house
was vacate d for the evening, and upon
the return OF Mrs. Schrauger, her
daughter insisted that she would not go
to bed, as she was sure there was man
in the room. The mother at first ridiculed
the idea, telling the child that nobody
could have gained access in the
short interval of their absence
But the girl was persistent; she
said she could smell whisky aud that
she knew some one was under the bed.
The mother was at last impressed with her
daughters suspicious and she sent out for
a neighbor. Mr. James Byrnes, who looked
uuder the bed but said he could see no
one nor nothing Still the girl WAS not
satisfied. but the look of fright which she
displayed prompted Mr.. Byrnes in taking
another look, when he informed Mrs,
Schrauger that he could see nothing but
pair of boots. Mrs S. said those were
her husbands, but her daughter assured
her that her father had worn his boots on
his trip.
Mr.. ByfneS then attempted TO pull the
boots out from beneath the bed, but they
refused to come, and he suspected there
was somebody's feet in them. He
now felt convinced that the girls suss
picions We're not unfounGed, and having
no weapons about him lie asked for the
poker, and then he demanded that who's
ever was unler there should come forth,

cation He was undoubtedly under The
Influence OF liquor, but it is not p robable
thathe WAS as drunk as he attempted tC
appear. At any rate he had his senses
about him sufficiently to realize his posi-
ton, aud he made dash for liberty and

What was his motive in cnncaalin4
himself in such pre,licament is no
