THRASHES BURGLAR.
And Then Sends Him Away With Good
 Feed

From the Chicago Tribune.
 This Is the story of how Miss Lenoa Bryse, 20 years old, lSs5 Forrestville ave- nue, Chicago, caught a Thanksgiving burglar early Thursday morning, fed him and then let him go. Miss Bryse. besides having a strong arm and a come ly countenance, has a warm heart, and after that burglar had told her how hungry he was, just could not bear to think of sending him to prison, in spite of the fact that she had struggled with might and main until she Lad made him prisoner and that her hat was all askew before she had forced him to surrender.
 What Miss Bryse had done to the bur- glar before she fed him was enough to have touched her heart without any woe full recital on his part. One of his eyes was blackened, his coat was torn and his face was so scratched that blood was streaming from 1t. A sorry figure he cut as he pitifully told his captor that it was more painful to go hungry on Thanksgiving than on any other day.
 Miss Bryse is probably the only wo- man film operator in a 5-cent show in Chicago. Her work in little theatre on the West Side explains her return home at the hour when burglars arc busiest. It was midnight when she turned the corner, few steps from her home.
 Hist! As she approaches the front door of her home she discovers man striving to force 1t open with an iron bar So intent Is he upon his task that he Is unaware of her approach. Another moment and he will have gained en- trance to the house. Perhaps he will attack persons asleep within.
 Not if Miss Bryse can prevent!
 She leaps upon the back of the kneel- ing burglar, forcing him to the ground. his right hand still grasping the iron bar. He struggled and at length re- gains his feet, his assailant clinging to

 Here's one that's just as true as if it were copied verbatim out of a spelling book-true. notwithstanding that the names are omitted owing to a fool prom ise that one was talked into making be- fore the story was narrated.
 An excited man rushed into the office of banker with his mouth full of words
 Say" he panted. you remember well enough that was in here for two hours this morning. don't you-mebbe two hours and a half, but two, anyhow?"
 The banker nodded that he recalled that fact.

 The banker waited for the wife to call him up, intending to do everything in his power for the acquittal of his friend.
 In about three-quarters of an hour the friend came rushing in again. This time he was smiling and was less excited.
 'Its all right" he said. Here's how 1t all happened. My wife had an awful spell of hiccoughing and ran over to the Smiths to see if they knew any way to stop 1t. Smith had heard that sudden fear or sudden consternation would stop 1t, so he faked up the story about me insulting the woman. His scheme work ed, too-except that my wife wouldn't be- lieve him at first when he told her that he'd just said it to stop hiccoughs Ev- erything is all right now. though.

never had a lawsuit or a wrangle over any of these wagers, for not a single dol- lar went astray. In the old days he stood at the ringside and held all sorts of bets on first blood and first knockdown, at the same time running the most desperate chances But he never wavered and the winner of a wager always got his money clear and clean.
 A few weeks before Smith died he heard that Pat Sheedy was seriously ill and went around to see him. Soon after Smith was confined to his bed and Sheedy sent a clergyman to seo him. Up to the day of the veterans death he kept in touch with Sheedy In this manner, and when Sheedy heard the news he cried like a child. And many other men of the world grieved with him.
