him about its recovery. SO he set about

sURGLAR-ALARM FROM MARS

A Light Near q Window that Unset
the Household of n Jerseyman.
That there must be burglars in the
house the other night the Observan,
Jerseyman was certain. He had heard
an unusual noise outside the house. and.
gazing carefully out of his bedroom
window on the second story, he could
see shimmering red light just where
he calculated one Of the window wells
Of the basement kitchen was. 1t was
not a steady light. but like a candle
burning in the kitchen.
The Jerseyman keeps two dogs on
purpose to alarm him or his family of
any attempts at burglary. One dog Of
the celebrated Skipper Williams, Stat.
en- Island, breed, has the run of the par
lOr floor, and the other, beagle. is on
the second floor.
Il knew these dogs We're no good"
he muttered. ':I'll have to investigate"
In living picture attire he tiptOed
downstairs, says the New York Sun
The dog down there met him with such
demonstrations of friendliness that the
pumping of his wagging tail against the
furniture and walls was enough to
brighten any one in the basement. A
glance out Of doors assured the Jersey.
man that there was no light left in the
kitchen. He waited until he was toe
cold to stay any longer for it to appear
but 1t did not. Then he tiptoed up to
his room again and peeped out of the
window. The light had reappeared
but it was fainter than before, as if the
burglars We're trying to hide it.
where's the pistOl?" he asked his
wife in a hOarse whisper. Getting the
pistol from under the mattress woke his
five-year-old daughter, and she was in
sisting that if pa had real burglar that
he should squirt the electric light on
him, when the Jerseyman began sec
ond hunt
This time he slipped out Of the front
door and circled around the house, de-
termined to kill the intruder from q
point of vantage outside. The base
ment was as dark Us before.
Something desperate had to be done.
The Jerseyman returned to the front
door, determined to make complete
exploration of the house. Here he met
his siX-fOOt son, also in living picture
costume. With two dogs and two pis-
tolls they made their way to the kitchen.
One glance convinced them that nc
one had been there. The Jerseyman
went back to his room and looked out
of the window again. The light was
gone. High in the west was Mars,
shining clear and red from the un.
clOuded sky. There was a little more
light from the stars than there had been
and right in the front of the window the
outlines of half barrel could be seen.
The half barrel was full of water which
was frozen over. The icy surface was
wavy. 1t was the red light of Mars
that had caused all the turmoil.
