The Burglar Waited.

gize for all the unkind things you said
this morning?"
The Burglar paused warily, consider
ing the situation.
There's row on" he decided, 'and
Johns been behaving bad. Well, well,
1 guess he'll have to keep it up, poor
fellow"
Still whistling unconcernedly, he
seized his curiously-shaped black bag,
and going into the dining room
slammed the door.
That's to put her on her ear-brow," +"
he prophesied shrewdly if inelegantly,
as he set to work on the buffet silver,
aided by the electric light in the street
below.
mo more good soft soldering now
for good while, you bet!"
The Burglar was married man and
knew the ways of the SEX
Into the black bag, which possessed
strangely elastic properties, went cof-
fee urn, cream pitcher and sugar bowl,
each article slowed away with the ut
most deftness and celebrity.
Then the Burglar cast a dubious eye
on the small silver.
Poor quality, and not much of it,"
he pronounced disappointedly. But
what can you expect of the cashier of
little one-horse bank? Well, well, it
can't be helped. You have to take
things as you find them in this world" 4"
1t was his favorite motto, and not in
appropriate under the circumstances.
Burglary certainly begets philosophy.
With great care and dispatch two
dozen knives, forks and spoons were
packed away in the depths of the black
bag, pair Of repousse candlesticks
followed in their wake, while the Burg
lar hastily concealed motley collec.

pepper pots in the pockets of the new
ly acquired overcoat
"Now for them cut-glass things" he
reminded himself. and turned his at.
tention upward
The lock of the hanging cabinet was
hard to pick, but he had got 1t of and
was inspecting certain decanters on
the shelves with the assistance Of his
small dark lantern when there came
soft, slippered footballs in the hall
without.
The Burglar faced about in utter as
tonishment.
So she had actually come down, had
humbled her pride in five minutes,
when he, with his knowledge of Wom-
an, had given her Is at least to get
over that impertinent slam of the door.
What fool he had been!
But even as he swore at himself
under his breath a line of light sprang
up beneath the door.
She had lit the han gas.
The Burglar vaulted to the nearest
window and paused for reflection.
The sash had to be. lifted. and there
was good 20-foot drop into the street
below.

to- him, anyhow, because he was only
fooling a little. He never for a mo-

I'll be especially glad to have you
alone in my own parlor," she con-
tinued in tone that sounded more
serious than any which he had ever
heard from her before, because I
want to say something very important
indeed to you; it's something that |
