 Meanwhile. the burglar was busy every. night. The criminal was cute ,as
 well as bold. Sometimes it was found
 that he had entered by a first floor
 window. and then again by second story. Sometimes 1t was impossible
 to tell how he had entered. but he had done his work in thorough manner. Money and jewelry cane first with him. Afterward he gathered up .,uch knic.
 knacks as suited his f:nry. A wig ilance committee was form >d to assist the police. but the robberies went on just the same. Even Professor Gor-
 don, sleeping in the tent which hei 1 his world-renowned aggregation, was one of the victims. As he slept and dreamed of greater agE...ations to come. some one robbed him of hun
 dred dollars in cash
 The six policemen of the town, eaci. one of whom was VidocQ in his owL estimation, were simply stained at tho daring of the mysta. ious criminal.

 Now 1t is said that when a woman is jealous she is more jealous than a man. She may not indulge in shoot ing or throat at-cuttinE as often. but this may be because the opportunities do not arise. When two weeks had gone by and Miss Jennie Wren had not heard from Mir. George Watson, except to his detriment, the demon Of jealousy was aroused, and she deter mined thats h. should find out the penalty of toying with maidens heart. She wanted to meet thim jug once, and tell him what she thought of him and then lay a horsewip over his shoulders She didn't want to do it in a sensational manner. however. She simply wanted settlement as between the two of them.
 Her small brother bought her tn; whip of harness maker, informed her that George was calling at the house where the Boston girl boarded, and one dark >evenIng all was ,sidy. Miss Jennie attended the prayer meetink at the Methodist church first. The same course Ia recommended to everJ girl who contemplatss horsewhippinE recalcitrant lever. . It will soeth,' and calm and prepare h:r for the business in hand.
 When the prayer meeting was out the girl with the whip made her way alone for half mile and practicea all sorts of cuts on the way Sh' meant to take George at the gate. red handed. as it were. She was sur- prised to find the house dark and the family apparently gone to bed but she entered the, yard and crouched down behind 5usn to make iurths' observations.
 Time does, not count when a young woman is on afyoung mans trail It may be that an hour had passed before Miss Jennie was satisfied that no trick was being played on her. She had just left her bush to make start for home, rather sorry and rather glad at the same time that she hadn't been af- forded an opportunity to wield the horsewhip, when a stalwart figure sud denly appeared before her-George Watson, and sneaking around as if ashamed. He had come uc as softly as a eat. and though taken entirely by surprise, she laid on the whip.
 At the first blow he leaped back with sort of snarl; at the second he spraug forwtrd with a cry. seized her and threw her over the bush and then disappeared in the darkness.
 She screamed. of course. dozen neighbors and half the police force were routed out to find the girl in hys- terics, and it was half an hour before she could tell her story About the same time 1t was found that nearby house had been burglarized. There were black and blue marks on Miss Jennie's arms where he had seized her. and there was no doubt that she must have been thrown ten feet high to clear the bush.
 There was much excitement for the next hour or two. and lots more fat copy for The Daily Herald. Then one of the police force named Woodenhead proved that he had been wrongly nam- ed for long years. He had been think ing of the cat-lke approach, the bruises and the strength Of the assailant. so he nodded hib head and went down ito the tent holdiny the grand asgr gregatfon and arrested Professor Gordan and his big chimpanzee The feet of the lat ter were found to be covered with the dust of the highway, and buried in the earth under his masters tent was found most of the plumber. The big monkey had not only been used to do tricks to amuse an audience, but to earn dishonest profits for his mas ter. The Daily Herald had a three-col- umn account of the affair. but there was one exciting incident that "our re- porter did not secure. It occurred about g o'clock in the morning. just as Jennie Wren was recovering from her fright George Watson ralled at the widows house and the door was opened to him by the widows daugh- ter
 Well sir what is it?" she asked, with her heart in her mouth
 He did very cool thing in reply He bent forward and kissed her. and when sne tried to draW away. he kissed her again, and presently both were explaining and telling how sorry they were and they would never do it again and
