but be colld rot open lt. The heavy
bolt inside aas TOO strOng for him. Then
he tried another near b. aiJh the same

house. where the kitchen Is located
Here the shutters we're smaller and Of

cry thing in harmony. Builders are 80
careful nowadays % have every thug Ia

my on one % these shutters the bolt
resisted for a time but its harmonious
proportions caused il % bend. and il
was soon drawn from It's staples and the
shutter opened, aud u course the sash

Of this sort OF story, when Aunt Martha
interrupted me.
1T seems % me" she said, speaking
70 the tall burglar, that you have in

what Is right and proper. but 10 is plain
that YOU allow Yourself 70 be led and in

You should avoid even the outskirts Of
evil. You may not know that the pro-
posed enterprise Is bad one, but you
shOald not take part in IL unless you
know il is good one. In such cases
you should be rigid"
The man turned toward my aunt and
looked stcadfIStly at her, and as be
gazed his face grew sadder and saddcr.
Rigid. " he repeated, that is hard. :"
Yes" | remarked, that is one OF the
meanings Of tho word"
Paying no attention to me, be con-
