Waterbury evening Democrat., 1890-01-25

to remain in this room an hour or so after the rest of tho family had gone to bed, and as l was an early riser 1 Was always in it again before it was neceS- sary for a servant to enter it in the morning.
 Before leaving the library for the night placed in a conspicuous position i'll tho room small table, on which was a tray holding two dccantcrS partially filled with wine, in the ono red and in the other white. There was also upon the tray an open box of biscuit and three wice glasses. two of thsAl with a little wine at +ho bottom. took pains to make it appear that these refresh ments had been recently partaken of. There were biscuit crumbs upon the tray and drop or two of wine was freshly spilled upon it every time the trap was set. The table, thus arranged, was left in the room during tho night, and early in the morning put the tray and its contents into closet and locked it up.
 A portion of my narcotic preparation was thoroughly mixed With the contents of each of the decanters in such propor- tions that glass of the wine would be sufficient to produce the desired effect.
 It was my opinion that there were few men who, after a night walk and perhaps some labor in forcibly opening door or q window-shutter, would not cease for q moment in pursuance of their self-imposed task to partake of the refreshments so conveniently left behind them by the occupants of the house when they retired to rest. Should my surmises be correct l might reason ably expect, should my house be broken into, to find an unconscious burglar in the library when l went down in the morning. And l was sure, and my wife agreed with me, that if 1 should find a burglar in that room or any other part of tho house 1t was highly desirable that he should be an unconscious ono.
 Night after night I set my burglar trap and morning after morning locked it up in the closet. I can not say that I was exactly disappointed that no opportunity offered to test the value of my plan, but it did seem a pity that l should takc so much trouble for nothing. It had been some weeks since any burglarics had been committed in the nelghborhood, and i5 was tho gen eral opinion that the miscrcants had considered this field worked out and had transferred their labors to a better paying place. The insult Of having been considered unworthy the attention of the knights of tho midnight jimmy remained with us, but as all our goods and chattels also remained with us we could afford to brook the indignity.
 As the trap cost nothing my wife did
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1890-01-25

ing great consternation, and, besides, she said that if thieves got into the house she did not want to know it and st 9 did not want me to know it; the q ticker shey found what they came for as-d Went away with it the better. Of course, si; . wished them k, i1t O.. |. if such thing wer" possible, but if they di1 get in, our duty, as parents of tho dearest of little boys, was non-interfer- cree. She insisted, however, that the room in which the lovciicst of children slept. and which was also occupied by ourselves, should be made absolutely burglar-proof, and this object, by means of extraordinary bolts and chains, flat tered myself 1 accomplished. My Aunt Martha had patent contrivance for fastening door that she always used, whether at home or travelling, and in whose merit shc placed implicit confi- dehcu. Therefore we did not feel it necessary to be anxious about her; and the servants slept at the top of the house, where thieves would not be likely to go.
 "They may continue to slight us by their absence" said my wife, but do not believe that they will bo able to frightcn us by their presence"
 was not, however, so easily contented as my wife. Of course I wished to do every thing possible to protect George William and the rest of the family, but 1 was also very anxious to protect our property in all parts of the house. There fore, in addition to every thing else had done, l devised a scheme for inter- fering with the plans Of men who should feloniously break into our home.
 After consultation with a friend, who was physician greatly interested in the study of narcotic drugs, pro- cured mixture, which was almost tasteless and without peculiar odor, and of which small quantity would in less than minute throw an ordinary man into 8 state Of unconSciousncss. Tho potion was, however, no mere danger ous ill its effects than that quantity of ardent spirits which would cause entire insensibility. After the lapse of several hours the person under the influence of the drug would recover consciousness without assistance. But in order to pro v;'7" against all contingencies my friend prepared powerful antidotc, which Uoald almost immediately revive one who had been made unconscious by our potion.
 The scheme that had devised may possibly have been put into use by otE- CTS. But of this l knew not. l thought it a good scheme and determined to eX. pertinent with it, and if possible to make a trap which should catch burg lar. I would reveal this plan to no ono but my friend, the physician, and my wife. Secrecy would be a.n important clement in it's success.
 G"r library was largo and pleasant rooen on the ground floor of tho house, and here set my trap. It vas my habit

men, b,-t his emotions Of amazement were so great that ho could not keep them down.
 "What is the matter with them. sir?'' he said. ''l1oN' did they come sop
 ''There is no time for talking now,' answered. ''I "'ill tell you all about it when the men have been secured. 7" l now turned my attention to tho man who was partly resting against the lounge. I first tied his feet, and be- fore letting him down to the floor, so as to get to his arms, I removed his hat and his mask, which was mado of black muslin. I was surprised to sec the beardless face of 8 young and very good-loolSing man. He was well dressed and had the gen eral appearance of a person be- longing to theatrical circles. When his arms had been tied I told David he might lay down his biscuit-beatcr and help me with the third man, who was badly mixed up with the debris of the refreshments. We hauled him out and tied him up. He was rather short man, but very heavy, and could sec no signs of his having been hurt by the smash-up he had made in falling.
 Eo 6e continued istat aceeS.
