SHAMED THE BURGLAR.
An Old Woman's Appeal Induces a
Midnight Marnuder to Depart.

All oiu "omans Appeal Induces a
Midnight Marnuder to Depart,
AT the outskirts of Mount Vernon, N,
T., lives Mrs. Pardon Hazleton, an
elderly woman. She has an income
sufficient for her wants and lives alone
save for woman who works in the
house during the day. Her neighbors
know her only as n white-haired, pleas
ant-faced old lady, who never speaks
OF her antecedents. From her CONVEX
sation, however, it is evident that she
mas Travelled much. The house is mod
est and not the sort of place to catch
the eye Of burglar. Mrs. Hazleton
has in her possession certain valuable
papers in an important estate, and she
believes that the capture of these docu-
ments was the object of a stranger
whom she found in her room some
time after midnight. She was badly
frightened, of course, but raised herself
IN bed and asked what the man want
ed. He said he wanted money and
threatened to shoot her if she made an
outcry.
You wouldn't shoot me-" said Mrs.
Hazleton. "Why, I'm old enough to be
your mother. Is your mother alive?'
NO" said the burglar, curtly.
"Well, I'll be honest with you," con-
tinued Mrs. Hazleton. "Theres only
myself, a helpless old lady, in the
house. Surely you're too much of a
man to take advantage of woman
an old woman"
The burglar stared at her, complete
ly unneryed, He was good looking
young fellow, Mrs. Hazleton says, with
dark complexion and large eyes. He
hung his head in a shamefaced way
when she looked him squarely in the
eyes. He walked half way down the
stairs and stopped.
You'd better come down after me
and close the parlor window. That's
the way | got in," he called back. Mrs.
Hazleton followed closely.
Good night" she said, as the man
climbed out of the window.
Good night" said the burglar. 81
won't trouble you any more, old lady"

THE PASSING EAR

They are slipping away, these swift, sweet
years.
Lii a leaf on the current cast,
With never a break in the rapid flow,
We watch them as one by one they go
Into the beautiful past.
one after another we see them pass
Down the dim-lighted stair,
We hear the sound of their steady tread
In the steps of the centuries long since
dead.
As beautiful and fair.
There are only a few years left to love;
Shall we waste them in idle strife?
Shall we trample under our ruthless feet
Those bea;s.iful blossoms, rare and sweet,
BY the dusty ways of life?
There are only a few swift years. Oh, let
No envious taunts be heard.
Make life's fair pattern of rare design.
And ill up the measure with loves sweet
wine.
But never an angry word.

But Was Finally Recognized.

breaking and entering and he utterly
refused to make known his identity.
He was arrested on Portland pier ear
ly in the evening. Parties on the wharf
saw him come out of the rear door Of
William E. Carter & Co. s junk shop,
and they notified Martin Conley, the
clerk, who happened to be on the front
Side OF the pier. They pointed out the
man to Conley and assisted him in CATCH
ing and holding the thief. Il telephone
message was sent to the police station
and he was treated to a ride in the patrol
wagon. They searched him at the police
station and found in his pockets several
rolls OF coin that had been taken from
the cash drawer at the junk shop, the
three skeleton keys in his possession.
Officer Emery asked him his name,
and the prisoner made an insulting re-
spouse. He said he belonged here in the
city, but nobody in the police station
seemed to know him.
Later in the evening Deputy Marshal
Sterling went to the cell door and at

piled in the affirmative. After mo-
ment's reflection he said: 81 will give
you my name in the morning, but 1 shall
not tonight. I want time to think this
thing over

midnight the young burglar was routed
out OF a sound sleep and brought out
into the station corridor on dress parade.
The officers al looked him over. but none
OF them knew him. The prisoner was
very grouty at having his slum bers in
terrupted and he would not utter a word.
He was put back into the cell and at 1.15

patrolinen of the next class to take
look at him. They, too, were unable to

geon-general during the absence of Gen
eral Sternberg, said a report of only six
teen cases was an exceptionally good
showing as the number must be taken
relatively to the large number of men at

to get the men on high ground and Keep
them away from infection. During the
day report was received stating posi-
lively that no cases of yellow fever ex-
isted on the Harvard, which brought a
large number Of sick Spanish prisoners
to Portsmouth. This not only relieved
officials as to the condition at Ports

it would be a severe handicap to the navy
if this crack craft had to go into quaraE-

other Spanish officers. Captain Concas,
