from an arc lamp half block away.
The air was heavy and sickening
with the fumes of chIoroform They
fairly sent my head a-reeling, but
their effect upon the burglar seemed
to have been nil.
Over by the window a huge form
was hurting itself to and fro, from
wall to wall and back again, in the
frantic endeavor to gain freedom. The
bag enveloped his head and shoulders,
but a mighty pair of arms within the
bag were straining and tearing at the
fabric, and a couple of long, muscular
legs kicked madly at everything with
in reach.
One the whole, the scene was a bit
too gruesome to be humorous. AS a
rule I can see the funny side OF Haw-

from this particular mess at the

TO SEEK QUIET OF. cLotsTER.

History will be repeating itself if the reports
which reach here about Countess Marguerite
Cassini have any foundation in fact It is alleged
that the beautiful chatelaine of the Russian en-
bassg is to retire from the world and assume
the black garb Of the Sisters of Mercy in Paris,
at whose convent she was received in the Cath.
ole church some time ago.
Countess Marguerite, who was for three
years the most intimate friend of Mrs Nicholas
Longworth and one of the most fascinating
women who ever figured in Washington society
is remarkably handsome and talented. She is
barely 25, but she has drained to the dregs the
cup Of international popularity.
She became chatelaine Of the Russian en-
bassy in Washington wheE she was less than IT.
While in Mashington she sat for NJ lass th.ar,
