while the method Of answering enc

not one to be commended, thore are ccr-
tninly some circumstances undor which
It "a allowable.
There are some people who delight in
asking personal questions, no matter
how embarrassing and unnecessary they
may be, ard who insist upon some sort

A YOUTHFUL BURGLAR.

When Detected He Shows Fight and Uss )
the Vilest Language.
Late yesterday afternoon Mrs. Milne Of
1871 Golden Gate avenue had occasion to
visit her cellar, when she noticed that the
front door was open, and upon inyestiSa-
tiOn discovered boy about IA years old
crouched behind q pile Of boards. Upon
being detected the boy, who was in his
stocking feet, darted for the door, when
Mrs. Mines screams soon brought Mr.
Louis Levy. DeighbOr and the owner of
the building, 10 the scene. A large crowd
collected and the boy was seized by Mr..
Levy, who used a police whistle vigorously
but to no effect. Meantime the youthful in
truder was kicking and struggling in his
efforts TO Tree himself, and Mr.. Levy re-
eeived several severe blows ia the face and
kicks in the shins, the boy meanwhile using
the yilest and most pIOfane language.
The sympathies of the crowd were evil
IDENTIFY with the boy, as Mr.. Levy was ad-
Yised by several to let him 60. and after de-
tanning him for 10 minutes or more awaitiRg
q policeman's appearance, the offender was
liberated, and he darted up Fillmore street
like a streak. His name could not be
learned.
When the boy emerged from the cellar
two older boys, who were standing on Che
corner of Steiner street were seen TO take

Nothing was missed from the basement
but the DeighbOTs are of the otini0n that
Mrs. Mine stimely visit to the cellar, the
door of which had been forced, alone saved
the upper portion Of the house from being
looted
Mr.. Levy's face bears marks Of the des-
peTate character of the young thief, and his
legs will be black and blue for some time to
come
