SOUNDED BURGLAR ALARM.
TIE queer Trick That Was Played
rpoa Two Badly FriKhtened
Chicago Women.

When burglar alarm rings out in
the middle of the night it is apt to
be more narrowing than burglar
himself. says Chicago exchange.
The other morning in the wee sma'
hours between dark and daylight a
household of two women was aroused
by the sudden piercing jangle Of the
burglar alarm. They ciutched each
other with smothered shrieks of ter
ror and lay waiting the onslaught of
the man of blood and iron.
The time seemed interminable and
every sound seemed fraught with di-
rect import of dread. The stairs
creuked. the bed sighed in fright, the
chairs and tables all seemed to be
holding a whispered consultation as
how best to confound the enemy, and
the curtains swathed themselves into
ghostly visitors with every breath Of
air that flew in through the open
window.
At last suspense became unbear-
able. and carefully arising the two
shivering women tiptoed quietly out
of the room and down the darkened
hallway to the stairs and after an in
stant or two of breathless indecision
they walked down to the lower floor,
and still no sight of an intruding VIII
lain shocked them into unconscious
ness. After that their courage re-
turned to their trembling finger tips
and they marched boldly into the din
ing-room, only to discover that the
.s-f.,I had tnyparad IN ~
dow and the reason OF the alarm was
apparent.
Now they are wondering If they
wouldn't rather have a burglar than
a burglar alarm.

The Three

A Ghost That Was Banished by
Resolution.

Cast Westerly left the office at n
quarter to O'clock There seemed
not to be the remotest danger of an
extra that night. and the telegraph
man had long since sent in his go"
For some reason or otlier Westerly
was more than ordinarily tired Per
haps ii was his spirit that was weary.
He was tired of the endless and reent-
less grind of newspaper work. tired
of the newspaper point of view, tired
of the whole round of life. He won

where his thoughts alone kept him
company. 1t was an uninyting room.
as any one who saw it must have con.
fessed. for Westerly did not have the
trick of demonstrating himself as some
bachelors do
He was bachelor indeed. He had
always lived in womanless sort of
way. Sometimes it came across him
that he WAS missing the best part of
his life in knowing nothing of them.
but he was shy and reverent. and it
appeared to be his lot TO dwell alone
and envy other men. SO, what with
loneliness and overwork and ennui. he
was not at his best on this particular
night. No ear was in sight. and he con
cluded that he had just missed the
hourly horse car which took. belated
workers homeward after the cable had
ceased its buZzing for the day; SO he
started out To walk. He loitered for n
time, half hoping some vehicle might
come in sight. but the streets seemed
deserted. So after pausing Il moment
to admire the sinister picturesqueness
of the Chicago liver. with the lights
cleaning upon its murky waters from
masthead and high window he started
to cross the bridge.
A distant clock struck 3, and Wester-
y, aroused by 1t from his reverie look
d up to see a man just before nina
man who seemed to have come up out
OF the solid planks of the bridge. He
wore a hat we'll back on his head and
showed a long horselike face. with n
hooked nose and one blind eye. About
their evening clothes. All his garments
were of fine cut and quality. but
worn with a noticeable negligence.
1t was exceedingly curious. but as
Westerly approached this man he felt
fear Of hlm-not such a fear as one
may be excused for feeling at meeting
"a stranger in an unlikely place at
late hour. but.a fear of the nerves. 1t
seemed to him that If, by any chance,
that man We're to touch him he would
faint He moved as far away from
him as the limits of the footpath would
permit, and passed him hastily, a cold
ness stealing along his veins as he did
so. The man merely smiled in sar
donc fashion, lifting the eyebrow of
the blind eye and dropping one corner
of his mouth. 1t was an understandable
smirk and filled Westerly with aver
