A DETERMINED BURGLAR.
He Breaks In a Basement Door and
When Caught Wants to Fight,

The other night a lady who resides ON
spring street, between State and High
streets. awoke from deep sleep and thought
she heard sound as II some one was hum
ming under their breath, as many people are
apt to do when their mind Is concentrated on
something or Other. AS she gathered her
senses more fully she was satisfied that the
hummlng was not an hallucination, but, In a
Iew moments 1t stopped. The lady thought
her husband had just come In, and, as he is
very musical, was humming to himself some
air ne had heard played or sung. Then she
noticed the hall light was out and that the
sound couldn't have come from her hus-
band.
thoroughly aroused, by this time, and GER
tain some one was In the house, the lady
awoke her daughter - her husband being
quite advanced in years and not strong-ana
told her her suspicious. The daughter was
inclined to make light of the affair. but, in
order to satisfy her mother, lighted candle
and, followed b, the domestic, went down
stairs. The dining room and kitchen are lc-
Gated In the basement. The house stands on
the corner OF a lane and the street, and the
basement entrance Is from the lane. The
parlor floor showed no signs of intrusion
from any source. Then the two women
marched down stairs to the basement. There
is landing half way down the stairs. As
the landing was reached there stood a man
leaning against the wall. in his shirt sleeves
and with his arms folded. The women turn
ed and fled, and the daughter threw open the
front door just as belated neighbor was
coming up the steps of his own residence
next door.
As quick as possible the lady told her
neighbor that a burglar was In the house and
begged him to come In. or course the gen.
tleman complied. The intruder appeared to
be intoxicated and when asked what he was
doing there was inclined to be bellIgerent.
The neighboI thinking the prudent course
| was to mollify the man and get him out of
the building. succeeded in inducing him to
put on his coat and hat and leave the house
with him. The neighbor accompanied the
man as far as High street, when the burglar
took TO his heels and ran up High street like
deer. Later 1t appears the fellow was ar
rested for intoxlcation. brought before the
court the next morning and fined, the off,
