hour that he jumped at once at the cOnclu-
sion that burglars were about, and he had
better investigate. Knowing that there
were no windows in the rear of his place, he
was confident that whatever the matter was
it did not Immediately concern him, and he
therefore started on his investigation with
out any thought Of danger TO himself
He had not advanced far into the dark
ness of his laboratory when a startled cry
from a friend be had left behind caused him
to retreat The friend warned him he had
seen the burglar, and he had better beware.

At the same moment the druggist caught
sight Of the intruder and picking up his
scale weights, the only weapons in reach,
lie began a fusillada 10 his direction. Not
till he had exhausted his ammunition did
be observe that the unwelcOme visitors

flannel chest protector and slX-sh0oter.

realize that this was not the customary garo
IN which burglars went visiting, when he
was further astOnished by recognizing the
,hiveTiug Individual as the head-Waiter IN
the restaurant next door.

all the waiter could utter, as lie kept d0dg-
ing the uIckel-plated missiles which kept
falling around him.
