when he saw form bending over tn
small safe in the corner where TIN
money for the days sales was usual,
kept.
John had the keys of the large irol
gate and the front door. He noiseless
ly opened the gate first then the door
wondering all the while how the mar
got in. AS he closed the door quiet
ly, the burglar, who had finished hi
task, turned around with a spring.
They looked at each other for few
seconds, the burglar snarling like {
wild beast at bay. Then they close;
with each other, their bodies swayine
back and forth, each putting out his
strength for the mastery. Down they
fell, the burglar swapping with his
teeth. Over and over they rolled or
the floor. Now John had his club out:
blow, and it was all over. He stag
gered to his feet, gasping for brea h
He had not been winded so easily ir
the old days; but his berth as SER
,geant in front of the blotter at the
station house had increased his cir
cumference under the belt.
"Come rouse up, there!" he said al
length.
The burglar did not stir. Johns
welding of the club had not lost its
cunning. So down stairs he went fol-
some water. Returning, he lighted
the gas.
"There, now, easy, steady!"
With great sigh the burglar came
back to life. His eyes fell on John
at whom he stared fxedly- savagely
"You again!" he muttered. ''It is
fate-fate! Damn you'll"
''None of that" said John, playing
with his club.
There was no need to use it again
The burglar was. pretty we'll gone
And a desperate character he looked
His coat had come open during the
struggle, and although it was The
coolest day of the year, he had ne
shirt on. His toes were peepine
through his boots. A ragged coat
slouched hat, and an old red handker
chief wrapped around his neck, com
pleted his costume. He had deep sunk
en- blue eyes, matted gray hair, cut
short into a crop, a weeks growth O.
beard, which gave him a repulsive ap
pearance. There was sullen look O.
intense suffering and despair in his
face. Altogether he was the most for
