the case Of that man who went out of

town who lives better than he does and
his investments furnish him the coin
to pay for all he wants without ever
drawing Oh: the principal. A few years
ago he was worse than broke. He
didn't have a dollar or a friend-in
fact, his sole capital consisted Of his
nerve and a bad reputation, and on the
strength of that he started a bucket
shop. In a building close to the Board
of Trade he found an office furnished
for the business where another shop
had failed, and he put up a stiff front
and leased it until the LIST of May It
was then the middle Of the month, so
he got it rent free for the first two
| weeks. He ordered ticker put in and

the customer was staggered, but he
saw it was worth $40 for him to keep

another sucker tried to 6eat the stock

For several weeks past the vicinity
Of North Hill street has been troubled
with thieves Of the boldest kind, car.
rying keys TO fit the locks to the pantry
doors OF Mrs. T. J. Brooks and Supt
w. X Howard, and almost invariably
appearing at both houses on the same
night. The fact that the doors were
locked every night after the servants
left for their homes, left Mr.. Howard
in wonder as to how these bold thieves
continued to steal goods from pantry
with no windows through which they
could crawl, so he at once set about to
catch whoever it might be-
"Mr. Howard being quite genius in
the controlling of electricity, placed
an electric burglar alarm In the pantry,
which door when opened, started the
alarm. For while no burglar came
and Mr.. Howard began to despair, but
about half past four O'Clock this morn.
ing he was awakened by the alarm
sounding close TO his ear.
"He sprang from his bed, sliced his
pistol as quietly as possible, slipped
through the back door and advanced
on the black negro in the pantry, in
all his glory, with an electric light
turned on. and just helping himself to
everything in sight that suited him.
When ordered to hold up, he paid nc
attention to it whatever, but made O
spring for the ground regardless Of q
IS calibre thrown in has face.
Instead Of shooting him Mr. How.
ard grabbed him. and then the struggle
began. which was fierce one. both
men being strong, but the victory went
to the deserving party, 80 the thief II
now lodged in j ,il to await trial, which
will place him where thieves do moi
break through nor steal for there's
nothing to steal but work and plenty
