burglar last evening will give his
friends n good deal of entertai inment
at his expense to-day. While Mr..
Campbell was eating dinner last even
Ing the servant girl rushed into the
dining room and informed him that a
thief had just stolen a ham from a
shed adjoining the house and was
running off with it. The legal gentle
man IS something of a sprinter himself,
and giving prompt pursuit he caught
tho thief inside of n block. When he
saw that he would be caught the fell
low dropped the ham beside the fence
as he ran along. After questioning
him closely as 10 his name and pre-
vlous condition of life the owner of the
ham inquired:
What did you take that ham for?"
II did not take it," was the earnest
reply, "but l saw the man who did take
IT running away and If you will let me
go / will catch him and bring him back
to you" The thief's apparent honesty
momentarily impressed Mr.. Campbell
and releasing his grip on his coat
sleeve he said: 'All right; go ar get
him"
The fellow was off like a shot and
when the idea struck Mr. Campbell
that he might have been fooled he was
away out of sight. Mr.. Campbell re-
covered his ham but is still awaiting
the return Of his burglar
