THOSE HORRIBLE GRoASs.
Sounded Like Someone Was Suffering
Terribly.

Wednesday evening a young
man was making a call in the
third ward. and OF course the
weather being warm. he and the
callee were sitting out on the
porch. After being there for
some little time, they heard
most unearthly groaning coming
apparently from a weed patch
across the street. Now the young
man, not being a coward, and
particularly not wishing the party
of the second part, to think him
one, declared his intention of in
vestigating these groans. But
the party of the second part
objected. lie must not go over
there and be slugged. 1t was
probably some one who had got
too much 20 be Joyful and was
suffering the consequences. And
then again it might be some one
who had been slugged AMI vase IN
need of assistance, or it might be
someone who had tried to leave
this vale of tears by an independ.
ent route not controlled by the
transportation trusts. SO the
case was argued at some length,
and it was finally decided that the
young man take a hike to town
and get help. /.
Up to the business part Of the
city he came in a hurry, and after
securing help went back to learn
the trouble. The investigation
committee went down about
where they had been told to look.
They could see nothing, hear
nothing. They stopped and held
a conference, and even while they
were talking another of the un-
earthly groanS aoated out on the
summer breeze and called their
attention to a house setting back
from the street and from where
the groans seemel to coma. Very
promptly they made the advance
on the place, and when they came
up close enough to see, they be-
nelu d young man sitting at a
table, a lamp lighted, and the
sweat pouring down his face.
And then another of those awful
groans. They started to 90 to his
assistance, not yet knowing what
the matter was. But in
moment the young man straighten-
ed up, mopped the sweat of of his
face. and said apparently to him.

is a complicated affair. There
are several things that it will do
besides catch burglars. For in.

bells on the inside will start ring

then at 10 o'clock the whole sys.

if any person should accidentally
be locked in the bank, he can turn
