from his slumbers the other night with a
noise that indicated that some thief was at
the barn trying to steal the family horse.
He noiselessly slipped from the house with
his shot gur in his hand and went out to
the lot in his night apparel to detect the
horse thief. He failed to find him and
came back to the house, leaving the back
door open, and stepped into his fathers
bed room to warm, as the night air had
chilled him through. The moon flooded
the room with its silvery light. and he
turned to 60 out at the door, as he thought,
and to his establishment there stood bold
burglar in front of him ready to enter the
door. The young man raised his gun and
as ne did so the burglar raised his arms
with gun ready to shoot also. The
young man knew he had to get in bis
work quickly or the burglar might shoot
first So he pulled the trigger and bang"
went the CUR and the large looking glass
was shattered to pieces. His father and
mother were awakened by this tire and
there was scene Of commotion and con-
fusion until explanations were made.
The load of shot went clear through the
glass and wall. The young man had mis-
took the mirror for door and his own re-
| fected image as burglar and the mis-
chief was done.
