gdsted tone. "Is that all you've got and you banker?"
 Guess that's all, said MT. Sherman, cheerfuliy. You'd better be going"
 Not yet,,' said the burglar. There must be some other valuables around a big house like this. You've got some jewelry, haven't you? And some silver, tco?"
 You'll get in trouble if you touch any silver here" said MT. Sherman. Its all marked, and you couldn't get away with it anyway.
 "Oh, I don't know about that. But haven't you got some jewelry-a watch CT something?"
 MT. Sherman sat up in bed and tried to get a glimpse Of his strange visitor. He promptly lay down again when the burglar ordered him to and accompa- nfed the order by 8 flourish of his pis- tol
 '.ses here,7 said MT. Sherman, q don't want you to take my watch Can't you tell me where l can reach you tomorrow and let me send you a check? I'll do this on my honor, if you'll get out now
 The burglar laughed and asked Mir. Sherman if he took him for fool. MT. Sherman repeated his offer, but the burglar declined to listen to it. Then the burglar went to 6 dresser and be- gan searching the drawers. He found a gold watch and two scarfpins. He added to the collection MT sherman 5 gold watch, which was in the pocket of his 'xaistcoat and then came back to the bed.
 Now, where's the silverware?" ha demanded.
 Haven't you got enough?" said MT. Sherman.
 You'd better tell me where the sill yer is, for I'll find it, anyway.
 Well there isn't any in this room" ;" said MT. sherman. My man takes 1t to his room nights
 where's his room?' asked the bur glar.
 'sOn the top floor" said MT. sher- man. You can't get it, though. He lccks his door, and if you tried to break in he'd wake up and you'd get into trouble Even if you got away you wouldn't be safe with a lot of marked silver in your possession. Be- sides. I don't want you to touch it. It's family silver and more valuable to me on that account. You'd better get out with what you've got.
 T suppose you'll yell the minute get out" said the burglar after think ing it>over for moment. ''I'll let the silver go if you'll keep quiet for five minutes"
 .Au right" said Mir. Sherman, and the burglar blew out his candle and left the room. Mir Sherman heard him go dctgn the stairs and out the front door. As soon as the door closed he called for help at the top of his lungs. His son Fisher came down the stairs on the run. As soon SIS young MT. Sherman heard what had hap Pened he slipped on a pair of trousers and ran out into the street He didn't see a burglar. Neither did he see 2 policeman. He made up his mind that it was too late for a policeman to do anyway, so he returned to the house without reporting the case to the authorities st all. An eXamina- ticn of the parlor floor showed at once how the burglar had got in, and Fish CT admitted that he had forgotten to lock the window.
 Yesterday afternoon MT. Sherman called at police headquarters and told the story of the burglars visit to Cap tain McClusky. Captain McCiusky told the story as it is here told to the reporters and the old servant, Fisher, said that that was the way MT. Sher- man told it.
