A MAN OF NERVE"
He Gave a Remarkably Cool Recep-
 tion to a Burglar.

Coolest man 1 ever met" tells the reformed burglar, twas right here in Detroit. No matter how it was done; l got a line On his house, knew where the silver and jewelry were kept, and also knew that he had some wealthy visitors with diamonds and other costly trinkets well worth gathering in. went through the rear window as quickly as any glazier could have done and the burglar alarm never chirped a note. 1 sat down to satisfy myself that no one in the house was stirring and to smile at a little iron safe that an expert could open with hairpin. was just about to begin the campaign when I received a slight tap on the shoulder, and whirled about to be con fronted with my cool gentleman, re- volver held On a level with my fore head. His hand was as firm as rock, there was a dancing light in his eyes and his color was perfectly natural
 Glad 1 happened to notice your en- trance,' he remarked in a pleasant voice. Anything I can do for you?'
 'For-for heavens sake, don't shoot, l managed to stammer.
 Sorry to violate the etiquette of hospitality he laughed, but I have an irresistible impulse to bang away, and you're standing right where I'm going to shoot. It is just possible that I can restrain myself for couple of seconds but not a moment longer He was grinning like big good-hearted school boy, but I knew what was expected of me. 1 dove through that window like a streak of lightning, never stopping for my kit ran three miles and just caught the train for Chicago. If I had that mans nerve I fear I never would have reformed. ."-Detroit Free Press.
