the head of the bed, and the burglar
made a dash Tor tbs garments before
the sick man could get up, secured them
and dashed ont of the room. Mr.. Sand

The flash of the revolver almost burned
the engineers face, and the bullet

ing, and made a big hole in the wall.
Mrs. Sanders joined her husband, who,
with two revols ers, went to the back
window and got q shot at the negro as
he went over the back fence, but missed
him.
The thief broke a pane of glass in a
window of the sittins-room, pushed back
the latch and entered. He went through
