ness.
''Nothin'. nothin'." replied the bur
glar, fiicking an imaginary speck of
dust from the fashionable suit. ''the
gentleman who lives here awsked hne
to see him, but I find he is out. Nothin'
at all, reely."
The demeanor and the clothes, par

effect The landlady apologized and
withdrew, while the burglar made
leisurely and lofty departure Needing
some small change. in keeping with the
latest cut garments. the burglar ex-
tracted $40 from a dresser.

the best you know how The man who
banks on his morality is religious.
Condemnation will not be meted out
to man because he sinned, but the
question will be asked, What did you do
for Jesus? You won't be asked, Did
you play cards, did you lie, did you
commit adultery did you deliver up
your body to be burned? No. but What
did you do to make Jesus a real live,
