convenience of stepping into my bed
room for moment. want my house
keeper to see a nice little burglar who
has ordered his own arrest"
Durston, with his pistol still in hand,
touched the electric button at the head
of his bed. A few moments later the
houseleeper, en- neglige, entered the
library. With cry of despair she
clasped the burglar to her bosom. my
son, my son, why are you here?"
Durston was amazed He had not
known that his housekeeper had a
history.
"Is this one of your boys?" he yelled
at her.
my only son." she sobbed. 81 have
not seen him for twenty years, but l
recognized him at once. Is he friend
of yours, Mr.. Durston?"
Our bachelor knew not what to saw.
His housekeepez, as 1 have said, was an
inheritance from his parents and he
had always been fond of her. She had
taken good care of him all these years,
and he hated to tell her that her son
was criminal.
Yes" he shouted, she dropped in to
have cigar with me. knew you would
like to see him. But he is obliged to &c
now. He wants to catch a train fol
Montreal. Kiss him farewell. He won't
be back for some time"
THANK you, SIR" murmured the
burglar You have a good heart"
A few moments later Durston stood
on the front steps of his residences and
watched his housekeeper's son as Lie
hurried down the street.
What shall say to the policema amp
was the problem vexing him.
You remember the mysterious item
that appeared in the newspapers the
next morning. Durston explained his
telephone message on the ground that
he had been suffering from nightmare.
The above is the first public statement
of the facts in the case. hope Durston
won't get into scrape by this nara
tion. AS good citizen he had no right
to let the burg lar escape. Atlanta Con-
stitution.

seemed to whisper to him: "Peace,
Durstou; go to sleep, my child. I will
not go on until the burglar comes"
This assurance on the part of the pis-
toll quieted Durston somewhat and he
was beginning to feel very sleepy again
when he heard q light step on the
stairs. There was no mistake about it.
After keeping sullenly aloof for years
Durston's burglar had come at last At
first our bachelor felt cold chill creep
ing up his spinal column. Then, as the
burglar carefully stole through the hall
and entered the library. Durston was
astonished to realize that he was lying
in bed with pistol in his hand, house,
breaker in the next room, and that he
was beginning to enjoy the adventure.
The thought flashed through his mind
that even breach-of-promise case might
not be as horrible as he had imagined,
1.-THE reckless fellow seems to think
that there's nobody in the house,"
chuckled Durston as he heard his WIS.,
itor light burner in the library. Then
quietly getting out Of bed and stepping
gently to the door OF his bedroom Ours
ton pointed the revolver at a small,
dark, rather Well-dressed man who stood
in the center of the library looking
about him, eagerly.
PUT up your hands or I'll send a ball
through you" cried Durston sternly.
The dapper little burglar saw at .
glance that his game was up.
s'pon't do any thing rash,n he re-
marked calmly. helping himself to .
stiff dose of Durston's whisky and then
lighting one of his unwilling hosts

Durston was astonished and amused.
NOW that I've got my burglar after
waiting for him so many years, might

him." he said to himself Then to the
burglar:
you're cool one / congratulate
you on your nerve. You will pardon
me, however, il / ask you to take the
trouble to lay aside your cigar Tor mo-

The burglar looked sharply at Durston,

Remarks About a Boy.

A boy can not invent any thing-he
can only initiate; and it is easier to imi-
tate evil than good. You can initiate war,
but how are you going to initiate peace?
So boy passes his leisure in contriv-
ing mischief. Ityou get another fellow
to walk into wasp's camp you can see
him jump and hear him howl, but If
you do not, then nothing at all happens.
If you set dog to chase cat up a tree,
then something has to be done; but if
you do not set the dog on the cat, then
the cat just lies in the sun and sleeps and
you lose your time. If boy could find
out some way of doing good. so that he
could be active in it, very likely he
would want to do good now and thsu,
but as he can not he very seldo m wants

NEW YoHE. May 20.
: BY taking an extremely northerly course
the Danish steamship 1'hingvalia, with
$50 souls aboard, came very near to de-
struction on May 10, by collision with an
iceberg. She came into New York with
eighteen feet OF her iron stem crushed in.
That the damage was all above the water
line was due 10 the peculiar formation OF
the berg, the submerged part of which had
been melted away by the warm current OF
the gulf stream, leaving the upper part
projecting. Az o'clock ON the morning
of MAY 10 the lookout observed what they
supposed was a gigantic fog cloud
floating down ON the ship. Ii was a

under fearful headway when the crash
came. Thirty tons 6f nee tumbled on the

One piece struck the retreating lookout on
the back Of the head, knocking him down.
The jolt of the impact threw Capt.
Laub from his lounge and he ran out
on the bridge. The passengers were
awakened and scrambled ON deck In
ehossly attire and the grimy stokers
rushed up terror-strieken from the depths
Of the furnace room. The panic was onl,
