A REMARKABLY BRAVE MAN.
scorned to Use Anything But His Fists Upon Midnight Ma
 rRuders.

Ever since the midsummer reign CT burglar terror swept over the suburb an towns just north of New York. bur glars and their ways have been gener- ally discussed at afternoon teas in the afflicted belt, states the New York Tribune. All of the popular burglar fiction has been read and reread. and some of the women have even taken to detective stories. in hopes of being able to develop their own clew> in case their homes should be visited. Al- though with the coming of autumn the number of burglaries has fallen off to a delightful degree, the women are still talking about it.
 ''I am not afraid of these horrid bur glar persons" said d dainty little woman at q tea in New Rochelle one afternoon the other week. My hus- band k a brave man and he would protect me"
 Your house has not been robbed said matron who has more years to her credit in the book of life and who had sacrificed all of her solid silver to the aforesaid burglars. Wait uH- til the burglars get 10 proving around on the floor below and see what your husband will do. Unless hes most extraordinary man he will stay in bed and let he silver go."
 I'd have you know my husband is as brave aS lion." said the little woman. and her tone indicated that she would like 10 add: "You horrid thing"
 "I used 10 think men were brave. and all that. said d third woman. who had been an amused listener. but I've changed my mind. They have but lit- the more courage than women when | comes to burglars. I had aH expe- rienee which proves it."
 "Oh. do tell us" exclaimed the rest of the room.
 Well. it was this way" she began. "John was called 10 Philadelphia on business soon after we got back To the country. and he hated to leave three women alone in the big house. was not afraid, but the evening before had seen suspicious man about the place. SO 1 told him I'd feel safer fl there was man about. He sent his partner out from the city To protect Us. He was one of the uieeSt men I'rf. ever meta big sfx-foot chap vba played football n college and who looked strong enough to=ao aHrtbfugz He talked hravely. too When I of fered 10 let him have Johns revolver he said:
 
 weapon but my fists if the burglars should come prowling around to- night never fight with anything else
 Now. that was very brave. and it made me d little iea,ors. for kreqx that John would never have voiced sach sentiments Anyway. we felt very safe with the man who scornsd i weapons on watch on the ground floor He left in the morning before We were nP. and what do you ~Hppose we fa8nd? 9"
