On that same night bclated citizen
hurrying home was accosted from the

"Can be Of any assistancel"
"No. It's burglar, and have him

The policeman arrived, and with him
the passer by she had accosted, whose
services were not required, however.
The policeman went to the telephone and
summoned help. Meanwhile he took up
position where earlier in the evening
the folding-be had stood. 1t was now
shut up, aud looked merely a massive

"Now" said the sergeant, and h.
manipulated the desk as Mrs. Bascomt
had shown him how to do, a moment
before.
1t came down on the run, aud there
limp and half-smothered, was the trapped
burglar, his forehead cut and bleeding
from a chance incson as the bed had
shut up with him in an explosive EN-
brace.

Here you are, said one of tho policemen
as he snapped the bracelets on his wrist

handed him over to two of the force.
"That's him." said Kitty, "that's the
man that was lookin' for girl as hC
said was his sister. Oh, the villyun"
He was taken away, tried and con.
victed and sent up for five years, but he
never opened his mouth as to his method
of getting into the house. 1t is quite
safe to infer that Mrs. Bascomb never
resorted again to that very common
practice of ladies who mai late letters,
