A BURGLARS
ROMANCE
BY n. M. Gardner.


Bill Evans, gentleman burglar, who
by the dimmed, gaslight had been
quietly working at the combination OF
the library safe, turned with start
Standing In the doorway, with
leveled revolver, was beautiful white
robed girl Thick, wavy brown hair
fell in tumbled mass on her shoulder,
her cheeks were slightly pale, and the
hand which held the revolver slightly
trembled.
"Well@' drawled Bill, slowly arising
10 his feet. He was handsome fel-
low, manly built, with frank, open
coGntenance,
Mecf anically his hand went to his
coat pocket.
Don't you dare" tremulously cried
the girl.
Evans pulled cigarettes from his
pocket
Have one?" he queried, approach
ing.
'Tll scream; keep away" she threat
ened.
"Oh, | won't harm you" reassurec
, Bill, closing the box.
"Are you real-real burglar"
naively asked the girl.
y Bill laughed. "No-bless your heart,
little one. I'm financier. live on
borrowed capital"
"But what are you doing here at this
time of night kneeling before, papas
safe?" queried the girl in surprise,
letting the gun fall to her side.
well it's this way. Your father is
a very busy man; he does not like to
be annoyed. Knowing this, and need
ing money, just slipped in here to
borrow some. while he slept"
Oh, oh, but that is"
Now, now, know what you are
going to say interrupted the burglar
financier "You are going to say that
is stealing. Usually it would be so
but ! never borrow at night without
leaving a properly signed note. He
pulled out a slip of paper. Handing
it to her, the girl read:
Ten days after death, | promise
to pay to- the order of - -, al
the Bank of Any Time, the sum Off,
J r. U. NEXT"
I The girl fingered the note gingerly
"R. U. Next" she repeated, slowly
Then her eyes twinkled merrily. She
seemed to forget fear; forget that II
is very unconventional for young
girl, attired in night robe, to sit chat
! ting with a burglary
you're joking"' she exclaimed, eye
ing him roguishly. You are a bur
glar. I'm next"
AS Bill looked at the smile-wreathet
face he sighed inwardly
Why had he not met girl like hel
before? Oh, if he could only hope!
| But pshaw!--she millionaire
daughter-and he burglar.
"S-s-s-sh," warned the girl. A noise
was heard in the room above.
"Come with me-" She seized hii
hand and led the way into an adjoin
ing room. A window, strangely open
looked out upon the broad porch.
Now CO. she said giving his hant
a warm pressure. He looked deepl!
into her eyes. Go, and try to be bet
ter, be better, for er-my sake" He
head dropped prettily.
Instantly Evans caught her in nj
arms, and drawing her to him, planted
a kiss. hot and lingering, on her warn
unturned lips. Then he steppe'
through the window and was gone.
The memory of that kiss fingered
when he picked up the paper a

The Ration Range makes a
pointed argument in the following:
We must not lose sight OF the
tact that every republican vote this
year IS a statehood vote in spite Of
the democratic opposition TO It's
own interests in behalf OF the
cause. This dog.in.the.mangcr
attitude will not benefit the demo.
cratic party OF New Mexico. The
democrats have wear after year de-
clared themselves 70 be in favor OF
statehood. In 1892 a democratic
administration was elected on a
platform declaring statehood, and
a democratic delegate sent to con-,
gress, and yet there was no suc.
cessful effort made by the party
Tor admission. Now that state.
hood seems really in sight the
democrats are experiencing a
change OF heart, talking statehood
in every county in the territory,
and at the same time belittling the
men who could secure admission
