- keep them till daylight aud then 1
shall send word % the sheriff az Ken
nertown, and have him send Officers for
them"
Upon ny word" exclaimed David,
'.they are In the worst sind Of box. "
Nos my wife called mo again:
what in the world are you doing
down there, she called why don't you
come ups,airsP
This annoyed ne, for I was not yet
ready 10 20 upstairs ! wished 20 re-
suscicate these fellows for their STU pOr
was 50 profound that I began 20 fear
that perhaps hey had taken too much
OF tho drug and ought % b brought 20
their senses "a speedily "a possible.
This feeling vas due more % my desire
that serious injuries should not occur %
the rascals while n my house than 10
any concern Tor them.
My dear said 1. stepping 20 tho
bottom OF the stairs II have some
things 20 attend 20 down here which
viii occupy me a few minutes longer,
then Viii come up 20 you
II can't imagine what The things are, ="
she said but | suppose l can wait" 3"
and she went into her room and closed
her door after her.
now began 20 consider what was TO
be done with the burglars after they had
been resuscltated. Ny first impulse was
20 rid the house Of them BY carrying
them out of doors and bringing them 70
their senses there. But there was an
objection 20 this plan. They would be
pretty heavy fellows 20 carry, and as it
would Dc absolutely necessary 70 watch
them until they could be given into the
charge OF tbe oalce-s Of tho law did
not want 20 stay oUt of doors 20 do this,
for he night air was raw and chilly,
and | therefore determined 70 keep
them IN tho house And as they could
be resuscitatcd better in a sitting po-
sitien they must oe setUp in some way or
other. I consulted David on the subject.
You might put 'em Up with their
backs agin The wall. sir, said he, but
tie dirty beasts would spoil the paper.
/ wouldn't keen them in a decent room
Ike this. ia haal EN- out into the
kitchen any way.
But as they we're already in the
library decided % let them stay there,
-ad 20 - chem as speedily as possible
into so-1s position in whioh they might
remain. bethv.Fat moot a heavy wood
en- settle or bench ~i back and arms
which stood On The side piazza. With
David's help I brought -his into tho
room and placed i. wi,l is back 20 the
