IN THE vEsTIBUDE.

The worst victim OF All Fools Day
in the city CT Wilmington is, in the
estimation OF the WayHarer, young
married man who resides near Tenth
and Poplar streets.
On Saturday night be had some com
pany at his house, and his mother-in-
law, who lived but a square away, was
one Of his guests.
Shortly after $50 O'Clock she said
that she must go home, as she had for
gotten 10 lock the kitchen door. The
ordinary son-in-law would have been
cad to get rid OF his mother4ln-law so
easily But this was an extraordinary
son-in-law. and, TO lengthen her stay
al his house, he volunteered to go out
to Tenth and Lombard streets andmake
the kiaohen door secure. She accepted
his services and he set out.
Arrived at the house he made his
way up the alley opened the kitchen
door. entered, and closed and bolted it
after him. Then he passed through the
house opened the vestihule door. and
closed Il after him. Next he turned the
knob OF the front door, but the Cock
would not yield. II was locked with a
key, and that key was a square away.
Essaying TO go back into the house he
discovered that the vestibule door was
fastened, the lock which worked so
readily from the inside being proof
against all manipulation from the out
side. There he was. a prisoner In a
vestibule. Tie tried to open the tran
som. II refused to bulge After fool
ing for twenty minutes he decided that
he must arouse the neighbors. Taking
out his knife he began rapping on the
partition wall. For long while there
was no answer. Finally he heard a
sutdued noise and then a woman's
voice said
"Well?"
He told her who he was. and. as best
he could, explained his situation.
''Weh you'll have to walt until ]
70 and make my toilet" she said "for
had retired when you began rap
ping"
lA few minutes later she was scurry-
ing uD 10 Tenth and Poplar streets Ia
organize a relief expedition When II
arrived and the door was unlocked he
looked at his watch and discovered
that instead OF being a prisoner for
four hours he had been there bar forty
minutes. However. that was sufficient
for one night.
