PLUGEY WOMAN DRAWS
BLOOD OF A BURGLAR
Shoots at Him Through Front Door,
But Man Escapes in the
Darkness.

PoTTsTOWN. Pa. Nov. 2G.-With re-
markable nerve while alone IN her home
at stowe at 1 O'Clock IN the morning.
Mrs Jacob Romig gave a burglar a
warm reception.
She was awakened by some one on
the kitchen porch. and going down TO
the door, she asked who was outside.
An imprecation and a demand TO "open
the door and hand over her pocket
book was the reply she received.
Thinking to frtghten the intruder. Mrs.
Romig pretended that her husband was
at home and loudly called for him 10
come down. The robber, however. an
swered that he knew she was alone and
continued 10 kick and hammer fuTiously.
Realizing that quick action was neces-
sary. Mrs Romig called out that unless
the robber left at ence she would give
him the contents OF two revolvers and a
rife, and a moment later the plucky
woman shot through the door
A general alarm was soon raised. but
the burglar escaped. Blood stains ell
over the porch showed that Mrs. Ro-
mig's aim had been true

DIDN'T HAVE TO
REMOVE HIS ARMS

Congressman w. II. Jackson. or Mary
land. Was arguing that the converse
tional delivery OF speech was as effee-
tive with an intelligent audience as the
defamation OF a man whose brilliant
periods are always accompanied By arm
swinging. You are right" said list
ener. ''and your statement reminds me
OF a young lady who had two suffers.
Both men had about the same adYan-
tages and prospects, but gossip declared
that the girl would decide IN favor Of
the man who was a lawyer. for he knew
bstter how To present and win his case.
but gossip erred; the lawyer was reject
Cd. Later IL was learned from a friend
Ia whom the betrothed had contided the
reason for her choice. Harry is con-
vincing. but John is just as convincing
and does not have 10 remove hts arms
every time he wants 10 say some

On the following night an Rohert s,,
s.Sloh Was engaged in elaborate prepar-
aIons an evening call at the Alsx-
ander residence, he received a ,,,st,
from hts IA Their. The lawyer tool a set
and waited for hts son 20 eomnIets hts
attire. When he had successfullv ad-
1Usted his tie and gotten into am even
Ing Jacket. the older man addressed am
inquiry 70 him regarding the develop
ments OF his work.
The situation remains lust as II Wss
when l saw you the other day replied
MS son, somewhat impatiently. The
alleged Information OF the location OF
the money which We are supposed 70 re-
celFe rom the hidden envelopes has
turned out to be nothing but a fraud. I
am continuing TO have them found in
TIE places 70 which I am directed, but
there IS no hope OF making any PROGRESS
III tlEit manner On the other hand, |
have adopted q plan Of investigation
that may give me the name of the man
l want, In the meantime I am going
10 call at the Alezanders TO make some
necessary inquiries. Probably you could
tell me what ! want 10 know, but /
prefer - get Il directly from them"
That reminds me-" observed the law
yer. II seems that the ladies saw you
not long ago. attired In evening dress
and made inquiries concerning you
They wish 10 know IL you are really
a detective which they feel strongly in
clined 10 doubt. In the event that YOU
are not. they are extremely anxious 70
know who you are and why you have
interested yourself in their affairs.
Their interrogations became very en-
barrassing 70 me and / am afraid that
my manner was somewhat confused"
Il supposed that they would" said
young Singleton. In fact the role l
have assumed has ceased 10 be congo
NAL and ! intend 10 drop H. I am on my
way there now ana viii ssnd up my
card and properly introduce myself as
your son and explain how / became in

obliged to make the situation plain to
them. 1 suppose you do not care TO 20
with me. In fact I think it would be
better II you did not. / am in search
OF details connected with the last few
months OF Major Blackford's life and il
you were present they might refer the
questions TO you which is just what /
do not wish them 10 do? BY the way
here is the third letter have had this
week from the great unknown"
The lawyer adjusted his glasses and
read the letter slowly. II was not tyne
written Ike the others he had seen. but
was carefully printed with pen and ink
lie examined the formation OF the let
tiers critically and then read IL aloud.
The third will be found Monday
morning hidden on an avenue that pene-
trates the heart OF the northwest sec
ton OF the city. The name OF the ave-
nue. Is the name OF a State that recent
~ elected Democratic governor. al
though the State did not choose Demo
cratic electors. The hiding place will
be chosen at some point along the
avenue between its intersection By a
street whose name is the least number
that Will divide forty but not afteen.
and circle at the point where the ave
nue. crosses another avenue. The circle
is named for a celebrated general or The
Mexican war"
Very thrilling. isn't it?" commented
young singlGton. These nice little
puzzles are getting on my nerves. When
l get nay hands on the man who Is re-
spOnsible for all this : win try 10 even
up with him Tor the annoyance he has
given me. or course. he Is up 70 some
disreputable or criminal business or he
would not so to all that trouble 10 keen
us occupied. I want to keap him from
getting the money. but I would ike 20
have him commit some crime suffi-
Gent 10 send him % the pehitenthtry.
Anyone who would arrange such an az
fair and continue TO send an intelligent
peTson a combination OF Chinese puzzles
under pTetense OF carrying cut the terms
OF a will ought TO be shot for snsulting
ordinary intelligence"
He lowered the gas and folloWed bis
father out or the room After che'ting
for moment at the door they parted
and young Singleton turned up the
street and started briskly on mis- walk.
He was looking forward 10 the coming
interview with great pleasure. II would
be a decided relief 10 have the young
lady treat him as an equal. and ne de-
termined that the interview would have
TO continue for some hours at least.
He had arrived within few blocks
OF his destination, when he noticed a
man approaching him. He was walk
Ing along Ia leisurely manner. smok-
Ing a cigar. His overeoat collar was
turned up about his throat and the
lower part OF MS face. and he wore a
soft Rat. Something I'm his manner and
carriage struck Singleton as being very
familiar to him. He could not see his
face as the light from the only street
lamp near was behind him.
just as they passed each other the
man pulled his handkerchief from hts

and usually l kept her in the stable. for

one OF the farm boys 10 bring her home
to the milking.

tree and on an adjacent fence sat
mosquito picking his teeth with one OF
her horns
