THR RETIRED BURGLAR.

1T is the unexpected" said the re-

might be greatly startled by the explO-
sion Of a toy pistol close by when he
wasn't looking for It A man who was

scared half to death by a cat I was once
myself not scared exactly, but certain
" thrown clean OF my balance by so
simple thing as an ordinary domestic
cat, met under unusual circumstances.
''I was prospecting the interior Of a
house in the usual way and at the usual
hour Of my profession, and in due
course had reached an upper chamber,
in which set my lamp down upon the
bureau preparatory to work. There
was a man asleep in the bed at my back
in this room He was to all appearances
sound asleep, and apprehended no
trouble from him There were in the
top drawer Of this bureau few trinkets
worth removing, and when had got
them into my bag I shut that drawer
and started to open the next. 1t was a
good bureau, the drawers working
slick and smooth, and pulled the sec
Ond drawer out as far as wanted it at a
touch As looked down into it saw
something cleaning there in a dim sort
of way in the dark, and the next min
ute heard a zOOp! in the atmosphere,
or thought did, and something leaped
out Of that drawer and went over my
shoulder, just touching my face as 1t
passed.
1T was a cat. That's all. Just a cat.
I suppose it had been around the room
there in the afternoon, and that drawer
had been left open and the cat had
jumped into 1t and gone to sleep there,
and had been shut in there, still asleep,
when the drawer was closed, after dusk,
maybe, and the cat was not noticed. All
those things I realized as the cat went
over my shoulder, which was only q
fraction of a second after the time when
had seen its eyes-as Inow know them
to have been-shining in the drawer.
But in that very brief period I had in
voluntarily started back; don't sup
pose any man is absolutely proof
against surprise. But, even so, I should
have been all right in half a second and
nothing would have happened IL
hadn't caught my heel in a rug in step
ping back. I couldn't recover myself,
though had completely recovered my
self-cOntrOl before had fallen.
81 went down with a crash that Just
made the house rattle, falling with my
head on the floor close up by the side
Of the bed. The man in the bed was
lightning. He woke up, turned over,
and swung his arm in a sweep down
from the side of the bed while I was
turning over on the floor. His hand
just licked my head as turned away
from it, only a touch, but it was the
touch of a man that wasn't shy, and In
one instant I heard the spring of the
bed crash under him as he bounced out
Of it. He was after me, but by this time
I had gone.
81 had hung onto the bag through 1t
all by instinct, and so I got away with
the few trinkets I had found in the top
drawer; but in place Of them left for
him, on the top Of the bureau, my lamp
for a souvenir. N. Y. Sun.
