AS l said before, 1 was ''head of the
house, and in consequence there was
little knowledge and no opposition to
the plans used to carry out my crack
Drained scheme.
In recess in our dining-room stood n
large, old-fashioned iron safe which
opened with big brass key and which
contained considerable silverware and
jewelry. These carefully packed and
shipped to our jeweler in the city.
To take their place had sent out a
lot OF snowy, plated stuff, which care
lessly displayed in full view of the win

pected burglars.

front of the safe, Just where one would
naturally stand in opening it, had
square cut from the floor, beams and
all, and the hole neatly fitted with a
trap, such as is used in the theaters for
pantomimes. This cost me something.
for 1T was necessary to have a stage car
penter arrange it.
In my bedchamber, directly overhead. |
l had a peep-hole made in the floor
through which could see the safe he
low. Alongside of this hole was a wire
which, when pulled, would unbolt the
trap and drop whoever was on it in the
dark and secure tomb beneath.

HIS DANGER.

The impression is common that the
Prince of Wales must necessarily be the
successor of his mother on the British
throne because he is her oldest son. 1t
has not been generally understood that
parliament had more than formal role
in the matter. The subject is under
discussion over the water, and there is
agreement among the accepted author
tiles that parliament has never lost the
right, eXacted centuries ago, to have
controlling hand in designating the oc-
cupant of the throne. Here is where
peril cOnfronts the heir who has been
losing caste of late. If there could be
found a more popular and worthy
member of the reigning family,
the selection would probably be
made in that quarter if the prince
was in strong disfavor. 1t is held also
that parliament may pass over the en-
tire family if it sees fit, and this has
been the fact in more than one instance.
1t is asserted by some, and not very
strongly eontroverted, that parliament
may even dispense entirely with the
royal business and make the head of
things an elective officer as in a republic.
In fact, there is hardly limit to the au-
thority of the legislative body. 1t would
be revolutionary to change the system,
but it is within the scope of parliament,
and the royal people could do nothing
but obey its behests. The throne is
hardly more than very costly ornament
and figure head.

HORSE AND HORSE.

How a Dilapidated Relic Once
Did Up the Stockholders.
'"There goes man." said one of the
melancholy relics of the stock boom
days who was holding up a corner of
Pauper's alley the other morning to
San Francisco Examiner reporter.

couple of stock brokers once"

something, doing we'll at the time. 1t
was just after the big Alta cinch-but
he bucked the game and got cleaned
out, like the rest of us. He was getting
pretty low down and hungry when he
struck a scheme. There was a
couple OF brokers living just op-
posite his little house, and so this
fellow procured big bundle of
those imitation greenbacks they use for
advertising purposes and sat at his WIN
dow all day one Sunday counting 'em
over. Before he got through he saw
the blinds across the way gently close,
and he knew the California street fell
lows were piping him off. That night,
about 2 a. M, the mechanic unlocked
his back door and stood behind it with
a rusty old pistol in his hand. He
hadn't long to wait. Pretty soon the
fumbling of skeleton key was heard
and the two neighbors crept in with
overshoes on and Jimmy and dark Ian
teru i'll their hands. The poor man
shut the door, locked it and leyeled his
pistol.
