the cause of the book, and a mighty
interesting book il is. Conan Doyle
made detective stories interesting to
other readers besides messenger boys
for up TO his time such stories had
been so cheaply written that serious
readers would never see them.
There are now hundreds of writer's

GUINEA HENS GIVE ALARM
Fowl Terrlfy South Norwalk Horse
Thieves When the Watehdogs
Are Still.

South Norwalk, Conn.-Guinea hens
are to be substituted for electrical
burglar alarm appliances in most of
the handsome country homes in this
section. The pioneer in the move
ment is Alfred Hartog, wealthy New
Yorker, whose summer home is in
East avenue, this city.
If it had not been for six guinea
hens which were roosting in his barn
he would have lost his best team, a
handsome pair of grays, and also two
sets OF harness and an expensive car
riage. The horse thieves had cut all
the electric burglar alarm wires. They
also had chloroformed the watch
dog and placed pillow boots on the
feet of the horses to mufiie their tread
as they we're led out of the Hartog
grounds. Everything that twentieth
century horse thieves could do to get
away with the horses without arous-
ing the Hartogs and their neighbors
had been done.
The thieves just were about to
drive away when one of them, who
had gone BACK into inc Darn 10 look
for something. stumbled against the
guinea roost. Instantly there was a
racket that could be heard half a mile
away. One guinea started to cackle
and the others Joined in. The chorus
sounded something like a giant bur
gler rattle would sound. The Hartogs
heard it; their neighbors heard 1t,
and in few seconds the entire East
avenue section was aroused.
Hartog discovered that the thieves
had cut the burglar alarm, telephone
and electric light wires before gear
ing up the horses. The watchdog was
found in the stable sleeping peaceful
ly under the influence of chloroform.
The guineas were gift by farmer
