WORKED IN COMFORT
Burglars Who Raided John Shull's
Residence Built Ropsing
Furnace Fire.
They Were in the House As Hours
and Secured Booty Worth
$1,000.

Does a burglary insurance policy cover
the coal burned by burglars to keep warm
while they are robbing the house?
That Is the nice question being weighed
by F. H. Christy, manager. of the bur
glary insurance department for the Fred
l.. Gray company. But the burglars who
made themselves at home in the resi-
dence of John Shull, 2415 Park avenue,
took so many things Of even greater value
than coal that the anthracite will prob
ably not be included in, the; insurance set

Altogether it was an odd job. The
Shull family is away for the winter, and
Mr.. shull has been living at the West
hotel. So the marauders had. things all
their own way. They entered through a
cellar window and the first serious OBJ
stacle that confronted them was sub
stantial lock on the. stout door at the
head of the cellar stairs. The burglars
were resourceful, for this lock bears evil
dence of having been blown to pieces with
a charge of gunpowder. This gave the
intruders the freedom of the house, and
they made the most of it.
Mr.. Shull discovered the burglary yes
terday when he went to his house to Sc
cure a beaver overcoat. The first thing
that aroused his suspicion was the sur
prising warmth Of the house, which had
been locked up for several days. y, Fur

search revealed that many Of the more
valuable and smalled articles had already
been carried away.
The thieves had evidently been in the
house for at least forty-eigh hours. They
| had had a booming fire in the furnace
and had made their selections with the
intelligence Of connoisseurs. Among the

aries OF his artists that he declares
their engagement to be the most diff
cult part of the work Ct putting on
grand opera. has an explanation for
the origin of the cXorbitant prices de-
manded by foreign singers When
America is mentioned to them. A
number CT years ago he was in Europe
engaging artists for his comic opera
company. He offered a certain singer
$500 week to come with him to
America. The singer had been used
to getting about a third Of that sum
and was on the point of accepting
when he was approached by Anton
Seidl and asked his price. He at once
demanded $500 and finally com
promised on $3.50. When he came to
read the contract he found that, after
the American fashion he had been
signed for $3.50 a performance and
not for that amount per week. Fear
ing that Mr.. Seidl might change his
mind and try to break the contract
he took the first boat for New York
and was on the ground two months
before the opening of the season.

Il had a very bad case of Kidney
Trouble, which affected my urinary

Then she turned and began 10 run for
the wharf. But it was too late. The
first gusts from the coming squall
caught the little boat, almost tearing
the sail from it's lashings. Then rope
snapped. and before Nellie, whose at
tention had been taken up in steering,
could remedy the damage, her boat
was running swiftly and aimlessly be-
fore the wind.
The people on shore saw her danger
and haste was made to get out one of
the big sail boats. but this was q
work of time, and now seconds were
precious. Long before the larger boat
was ready Jack Hastings ran down to
the end of the wharf. united little

pulling toward Nellie's boat at the top

All his energies were thrown into row.

training on the college crew stood him
in good stead, but never in the hottest
contested race had he exerted himself
as he did now, when he was pulling to
save the girl he loved. The dory jump
ed half out of the water at every
stroke. But the wind was rising, the
waves growing rougher and rougher,
and each instant Nelli~'s boat grew
more and more unmanageable.
But Nellie was an experienced sail
or, and even in this emergency held
the tiller steady and tried to turn the
boat in the direction Of the swiftly ap-
preaching dory. 1t was a race with
death. But Jack won. It seemed
hours to him, but in reality it was only
minutes, and short ones. before the
dory reached the side of the sailboat.
Then Nellie dropped the tiller. crept
to the side of her boat, and moment
later was safe in the dory. 1t was
time. A sudden gust struck the. little
sailboat, it lurched to one side, and
then careened completely over. But
the storm had lost it's victim.
When the wharf was reached will
ing hands lifted Nellie to safety. She
was none the worse for her perilous
experiment. When Jack clambered up
on the wharf she gave him q look
different from those with which she

for the energetic doctor by his untr-

this waste into an enjoyable health
resort freQuented by thousands OF rich
