Richard did not act upon his first inn

he was too frightened 10 obey any but
his third impulse, which was TO remain
perfectly still.
Evidently this was burglar. Rich
ard knew burglars as members OF the
community upon whom society, as a
rule, frowned. but he had always felt
that they had certain compensating
privileges, after all, since they had such
a simple and easy method of getting
the things they wanted.
He was anxious TO see how this one
would manage to get into that closely
guarded house, and after moment or
two yentured to follow him at safe
distance.
He had heard that burglars preferred
not to kill people who did not modest
them, and he felt strong curiosity to
know how they managed.
The man passed around the house,
tried every door and window rapidly,
but not very scientifically, thought
Richard, who had imagined burglars 10
be as sldllful as the people in ARABIAN
Nights" in doing away with slight OBJ
stacles of brick and mortar.
This one came back TO the outside
cellar door, and Richard soon learned
his plan of entrance, for he drew out
n lantern and proceeded TO file the lock.
1t was very soon done. The man gave
quick glance around, saw nothing,
softly put back the door and started
down the steps.
After a moment Richard followed
him there. He trembled <Dme, for the
burglar seemed closer than when he
was out of doors, but he kept after
him, through the cellar and laundry,
up the stairs and across the kitchen.
In the hall beyond the man paused
and studied the doors, each in turn. He
was aiming for the dining-room, but
