PropHiaing Burglar.
The reign OF burglary has brought out
several good stories in Wichita One
Young woman. who has an unspeaka bic
terror for the men who break into houses
and who imagined that every creak in
the house at night TO be bold man
cutting a screen or forcing q window.
was assured by her husband that burg
lars did not hurt anybody unless they
We're cornered. that so long as you left
burglar alone. he would rest content
with being thief and stop at being a
murderer He explained that after a
burglar had found what he could in a
house he slipped out and left the oceu-
pants sleeping.
Accepting part Of the theory Of her
husband. and rejecting part this young
wife before retiring one evening last
week. placed prominently on her dresser
in her room her pocketbook. and left
therein four silver dollars, taking about
fifteen dollars in bills and slipping them
in the pillow case under ner head.
Her husband asked her about il and
she said she had left the four dollars
so that the burglar would be satisfied,
and not awaken them to demand Of them
where they kept their money
The two lay talking for some time when
the young woman was reminded by tho
conversation that she had a laundry bin
Of 70 cents TO pay on the morrow. She
had use and plans for the money in the
pillow case. and she couldn't figure where
she would get that seyenty-hye cents.
DO YOU think" she asked her husband
that three dollars would satisfy the
burglar if he should get in?"
! expect so. answered the husband
She crept out of bed lighted lamp and
unclasped the purse and extracted sill
we'd dollar and slipped it under the pillow
and again retired.
I saw a mighty fine comb TO-DAY said
her husband 1T would become YOU splen-
didly"
Why didn't YOU get it,"
II didn't have the three dollars 10
spare he said
She studied a long time. Then sac got
UP and lighted the imp again. took two
more dollars from the pocket book AMI
said. III leave the burglar one dollar
aud save these two and maybe he won't
come and II he don't then I'll bay that
comb. if YOU like IT,
And after she got back in bed again the
husband said: Il guess we had better
go TO sleep or that burglar viii have to
90 asleep or that burglar viii have 10
satisfy himself with calling cards
