resided there, and who went out to the
coal house to get in his coal for the
night.

gentleman asked the intruder. ooh,
say, boss, does Emtiine Jones live
here? / declare 1 believe am in the
wrong place! Is this Columbia street?''
were the replies made in rapid sue
cession. and while he was talking he
was edging away from the gentleman
of the house toward the gate and as
soon as he saw an opportunity he ran
away with the speed of the wind. That
man was in my yard for no good pur-
pose was the conclusion reached by
the gentleman interested.
