the road behind in hot pursuit.
In spite of my fiercest efforts he was
gaining and calling me to stop or he
would shoot. Still rushed on in the
pitchy blackness, every moment ex-

me or be hit with a bullet. A half
mile of rather soft road must be gone

terrible pursuer, apparently certain of

down under the fearful strain.
Ten feet behind he was, and saying
he had me-five feet behind and-striv-
ing to clutch me, he stumbled and fell.
When he got on his feet-quick as a
cat-I was on the hard macadam, lead

in it we jumped and drove back to our
place as fast as the whip could urge the
horses.
When we got there the house seemed
darker and stiller than when left.
Finally, hearing nothing, we all went
into the dining-room together. The
safe stood there unopened and only 4

lust in time to save it from the descend

the same instant the farthest police

stepped ON the trap and with asyell OF
terror, disappeared

/ cried and to the horror-stricken con-
stables: Raise the trap-he's not

Before they recovered enough to ask
questions Michael dragged in the lad

fastening it upright the ladder was let
down and by d lanterns light we got

the serious and more dangerous work
at hand.
So far no sign nor sound of the rob-
bers had been noticed, though if they
had escaped, their trails would have
! been left on the carpet.
We lowered Il fresh lantern by a
string and the boldest one of us-which
wasn't stretched his neck carefully
down the trap, and seeing nothing
| loudly called on the burglars to sur
render.
No answer came. Then he fired y
pistol shot in. aiming at the far corner.
The result made all of us jump. Don't
shoot, boss! We give up" sounded
from the vault.

in the barn and managed our country
place.
There had been several robberies in
our pretty town, mostly in outlying and
lonely houses such as ours, and no
traces could be had of the thieves in
spite of the large rewards offered or of
the wise detectives sent from the adj
jacent city. The burglaries had all
been skillfully done, nothing being
taken except silver plate and jewels,
and in only one case was violence Of
fered.
As / said before, / 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 a recess in our dining-room stood
large, old-fashioned iron safe which
opened with big brass key and which
contained considerable silverware and
iewelry. These | carefully packed and
shipped to our jcweler 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
dows as tempting bait for the eX
pectcd burglars.
In the cellar beneath the safe was
small, corner brick-walled room, with
two doors. and a narrow, outside win
dow These l had filled with brick,
making the room strong and tight In
front of the safe, just where one would
naturally stand in opening it, had a
square cut from the floor, beams and
all, and the hole neatly fitted with a
trap, such as is used i'll the theaters for
pantomimeS. This cost me something,
for it was necessary to have stage car
penter arrange it.
In my bedchambcr, directly overhead,
] had Il peep-hole made in the floor,
through which | could see the safe be-
low. Alongside of this hole was wire
which, when pulled, would unbolt the
trap and drop whoever was on it in the
dark and secure tomb beneath.
Then | bought barrel of the cheap
est and stickiest molasses | could find
and had it poured into great wooden
box built on the cellar floor exactly
under the trap. | calculated that my
robbers, if ever they got in it, would be
so occupied in getting out that it would
give me plenty OF time to call in the
help needed to complete their capture.
Every thing was ready at last, and, as
had moved SO quietly in the matter,
| was satisfied that no one outside or in
had any suspicious of what | was up to.
In order to know when the robbers
came, |, after every one had gone tG
sleep, each night stretched a thread
across the first story hall and rooms Il
foot from the floor carrying the end. on
which was tied a wet towel to Il stick
fastened to my bedstead just over my
pillow. | calculated that the house
breakers would unllnowingly snap the
thread while moving around in the
dark. and then, the wet rag falling OF
my face, would arouse me.
For some weeks l anxiously waitet
for my dreaded visitors to come. The
strain made me nervous and every call
ing tramp and pcddler gave me shock
Late one night. after had nearly de
SPARED of being robbed. l was alone il
the dining-room with my back to The
piazza window writing a letter. Hap
pcning to glance in the mirror OF the
