~. The Revenge of phileeus Bruee

% HILETUs Brugg lived in II large city
which had long been ruled by politi,
themselves. This had never bothered Brugg
very much, for he was Il wealthy middle
aged man living a quiet retired life in Il
large old house in a hit of metropolitan
backwater, untouched by the rush of i'm
provement. He voted, paid his taxes and
obeyed the laws. AS for reform, when he
read the headlines of n undertaking article
he turned hurriedly over To the financial
section.
One night a burglar broke into the Brugg
household. This was a very rash thing for
him to do. for Brugg was Il most stubborn
and pugnacious character when aroused.
Discovering the burglar he promptly rose
from his bed and grappled with him. There
was Il short struggle. in which Brugg got
a bullet in the arm and the burglar got 50

away at once, the officer held his club up
to Briggs nose and said:
