A THIEF IN THE NIGHT
Nv Allan p. Ames.

Boroughs stepped softly out of
the shadow of one of the big trees
that overhung the rear end of
Maj. Forester's garden and
seized two of the iron palings
preparatory to climb. Before his
feet left the ground, however, a
slight noise at the right caused
him to release his hold and look
lquickly around.
A dozen yards further along
the fence a man was doing the
very same thing he had intended.
The man was shock-headed and
roughly clad. He could see that
Ieven in the dim moonlight. What
Hay beyond the tall iron palings
Twas very precious to Borroughs
The stranger sneaked through
the ghostly bushes until near
enough to the house to see
Through the rear windows. Then

Borroughs. i've waited long
lenough." The next moment the
stranger found himself encircled
by two muscular arms. He strug-
gled in vain. At last finding that
he could not shake off the young
mans grip he gave vent to shrill
Iyell.
This was the last thing Bor-
|roughs conceived the would-bt
burglar would do, and in his sur.
prise he almost loosened his
grasp. Almost Immediately, how.
ever, his establishment increased
for from the kitchen door came
an answering call in a feminine
voice.

man In Borroughs' grip. Help!

The housemafd's grin was visi-

answered:

"Oh," said Burroughs, nobody
In the house knows why better
than you. Maggie

He Likes KipIine Poem.

At dinner at Lake Hayden, near Spokane. President Taft spoke of Kiplings American. He said: T have always read with much interest Kip ling's poem on the American. I do not know whether you are familiar with 1t. It makes Mrs. Taft so angry when she reads 1t that she hasn't any patience with me for liking it. It is where Kipling says We are ready to match with destiny for the beers or something like that, and finally he saves Us by our ancient humor and that is the part of 1t I like. The truth is that running through the American nature is a humor that we don't find anywhere else in the world, and it is a humor that Is so whole some, fdh of aid to meet obstacles and overcomtDg them, that as long as we retain tt, agree with Kipling, we shall have our oation and make 1t worth while."

One of the principal cases is that of the state vs. Alice Skinner, recently bound over from Hampton. charged with burglary and attempted arson. Most of the other cases are minor ones.
