And as she worked Up in her perch behind the counter a middle-aged customer who was waiting for change, and who must have been the child's nelghbor, called up in voice that possessed all the fine qualities of megaphone:
 Why that you, Annie? Hows your ma gettin on? I ben allowin' to run in an bring her little somethn', but ben so busy"
 The bundle wrapper sifted some lace into an envelope and remarked briefly that her ma was getting along all right

 A lot of handkerchiefs had to be tied in square uncrumped package and while she was doing it the young per son in the perch stated In the same brief words that her pa was getting along all right.

BURGLARY CLEARED Boys Who Did Center Street Job Captured on Suspicion
 Last Night.
THE LEADER c0NFESSES
Most of the Stolen Ware Is Recovered -Detectives Expect to Solve
 Others Soon.

Clever work on the part of Detective porman and Sergeant Dennehy resulted in tho capture last night of the two young lads who burglarized the store of Edward Bassett at 6S Center street few nights ago
 Detective Dorman when out yesterday afternoon noticed William Hamilton, a youth of seventeen, whom he has ar rested before and he became suspicious of hlm. After talking with him some time he let him so, but still entertain ing suspicious he determined to watch him last night. He spoke to Sergeant Dennthy, and the two went out togeth- CT to see what could be done towards solving the mystery. They saw Hamil- ton and companion. William kilberg by name, acting in an unusual man. ner, and on suspicion. without any clue to guide them they decided to arrest them. Dorman took Hamilton and Ser geant Dennehy took kilberg.
 A sister of Kllberg, a young woman happened 10 be nearby and when she saw her brother arrested she made for the sergeant and threatened to attack him. She was finally subdued and the lad taken to the station.
 There Miss kilberg reappeared and all but attacked Sergeant Watrous at the oesk. but 10 no purpose.
 Hamilton. after being subjected to the third degree by Dorman, finally admit ted that he had done the job at 6S Cen ter street He said he did not go to the Gale store at all, but that en. trance was gained through a transom over the front door, which Is in a very dark spot. He admitted taking the three revolvers at first, but finally ac- knowledged the fourth also. The bur glary was committed before 10 o'clock.
 On Hamilton was found one of the reyolvers in a leather case and belt and Kilberg admitted that he had had another on but had slipped it off after being arrested near the corner of Mead- ow and Prout streets. At the homo of tho boys were found the other two revolvers and large number of car tridges, which were taken in this bur glary, and some other things which point to other jobs. The police believe they were out 10 do A job again last night when apprehended.
 The detectives expect to be able 10 clear up a number of petty burglaries before they finish this case. They be- lleve these boys have had a part in other cases. Each has been arrested before for theft or burglary, and Kil- berg, who Is but fourteen years of age, Reform school.
