was still meditatipg that night when
only the gentlemen were on deck, taking

then several times that If Mrs Haugh.

being with Mrs. Rivera. Miss Haugh-

he was with her. He ne6itated on that
too.
The next morning Miss Haughton
was on the deck resting easily in swing

Recent discoveries have brought out the
fact that a clever swindler cleaned up almost
5000 in this city in the ten days between
April 20 and May l.. He made this raise by
taking fraudulent orders for the Ladies
Home Journal, a similar graft" to the one
worked a couple of years ago by a party con-
sisting of a man and two women, who pro-
fessed to be solicitors for the same paper.
The swindler boarded at the house of Mrs.
Tucker 1902 North Eighteenth street. He was
one-legged and walked on crutches. The
physical ipirmity assisted him considerably
in securing Subscribers for the journal. He
succeeded in getting a list of about 200. The
majority of the subscribers paid him
81 each, and the remainder, 80 cents. When
he departed, the stranger left an unpaid
board bill. One of the victims was f. +.
Gruninger of 3167 Davenport street. He
wondered why his paper did not arrive this
month and wrote to the publishers. He has
just received an answer to the effect that
the man who took his subscription was a
fraud. The publishers allege that he has
been working the same scheme in other cities
for some time and they have offered a re-

Eugene Z. Braudo, manager Of the Ma
tional Lead company, 1415 Dodge street, had
an entertaining session with a burglar. from
his point of view, at an early hour yesterday
morning. The crook is far less pleased over
the result of the affair.
AT 4 o'clock Mr.. Brando was aroused
from his SAUNDERS by a noise. He opened
his eyes and turned toward the dresser in
the room. He saw a man standing upright
before the piece of furniture. The stranger
was apparently looking at the reflection OF
the bed in the mirror before him. Conse-
quently Mr.. Brando did not move.
In a few minutes. however, the burglar
bent over the dresser again and appeared to
be trying to open a jewel case. Then Mr..
Brando acted. He carefully drew a revolver
from beneath his pillow and took a long
and steady aim at the intruder. He fired
and the effect was instantaneous The
burglar threw up both hands. let out a
| yell, jumped a foot and then sprinted out oil

window just in time to see the man skirt

shot at him, but the man kept on in his
flight.
Brando is certain that his first shot struck
the man. The bullet did not lodge in the
dresser, the mirror or the wall of the rom
and 1t is therefore presumed that it entered
the mans body. The light of the early
dawn was sufficient to allow a good aim
Brando says also that the man ran as If he
had been hurt. Detectives examined the
premises yesterday, but failed to find any
blood stains.
The police worked on the case in the morn.

locating the burglar. Brando was not able
to give a very good description of him. He
was of average height and average build, and
was dressed In dark clothing and a SLOUGH
hat. The darkness was too great to allow
Brando to get a good view of the features OF
the man.
The burglar succeeded in getting away
with less than 81. He found this in q pocket
of7Brando's clothing. He was apparently in
tending to carry off some clothes, however, as
both mems and two1nen's wear. were found
