again heard the steps. Selling a revolver,
which she always. keeps near at hand, she
quietly opened rear door and stepped out
into the back yard. dressed only in her
night clothes, notwithstanding the extreme
cold. The robbers, two in number, had
reached a second-story window by means
of a ladder, which they had placed against
the side OF the house, and had gained en-
trance by smashing in the glass.
They had succeeded in locating the silver
ware when they heard Mrs. Walters open
the rear door. They jumped through an
other window on to the kitchen roof, and
thus exposed themselves to Mrs. Walters,
who was waiting for them. She fired two
them, but the bullets took no effect, as the
robbers leaped from the roof into the side
yard and disappeared through gate. The
sound of the shots attracted the attention
of several neighbors, who came running in
to ascertain the cause. Mrs. Walters, in
company with them, on investigating her
loss, found that silverware valued at S12
by the neighbors. but no signs of the rob-
bers could be found. The flight of the rob-
berS was so hasty that Mrs. Walters was
unable to get a good description OF the men,

the meeting is for the purpose OF issuing a
call for State convention. when a State
ticket will be nominated. 1t is also an

to be the basic principles of political ac-

c. Y. Edkins, of Greensburg, who an
nounces himself temporary secretary.
Doubtless Mr.. Edkins is prepared to eX-
plain just what the initiative and refer

call are ridculously ignorant, and confess
that they are densely stupid as TO the title
of the party about to be born. No doubt
