From some point nearby came an
answer Immediately.
"Yes," the answer went, I've
had him under my eye for the past
week, per your orders, and | know
he has $4,000 in the house to-
night. His room is the third from
the front in the second story"
Good" Burglar Bill calculated,
as he shut the wireless key and
brought the car to a level with the
third window from the front of the
second story.
With the strong little pocket
searchlight which he carried, he
sent a ray of dazzling light through
the window into the room. The
ray disclosed Millionaire Scraggs
asleep. his mouth open in plebian
fashion and his trousers thrown
over a chair near him. From him
the light roved around the room I'M
til it lighted upon compact, armor
plate safe in one corner. "Ah,"
Burglar Bill calculated as he saw
this and shut the light off quickly.
From this kit he took delicate
little glass cutter and with this he
neatly lifted out small section of
the window pane. Following this
operation 1t was the work of a
second to insert his hand, lift up
the latch and open the window.
The window open, his searchlight
was again brought into play. The
ray fell on the face of the sleeping
man. The airship was now steady
and so Burglar Bill had both hands
to work with. While he held the
light on Scraggs with one hand,
with the other he pulled little
squirt gun from his pocket. With
this he squirted a fine stream of
chloroform over the sleeping mans
face. In moment he saw that the
millionaire was under the influ-
ence of the anesthetic.
Burglar Bill now felt that the
coast was clear. He slung his kit
of tools over his shoulder and
climbed into the room. To the
motor Of his gasoline engine he at
tached little dynamo and ran a
wire from this to the safe. Then

and wonderful evening. Soon the
plaza contained probably 200 per-
sons watching me. Suddenly two
policemen appeared on the scene
and told me that l must stop, and
if l wanted to paint st. Marcos at
night to come around at 10 O'Clock
in the morning.
I There is no law against paint
ing at night, and l had a perfect
right to be there. AS l took some
time to gather my things together
they were about to take me in
charge. | thought of the worse

Suddenly some of the spectators
who had disappeared, returned tc
the scene with an officer and more
policemen, and instead of arresting
me, arrested the first two police
men on the charge of being drunk.

type, did not hesitate to boast that
he was going to kill a policeman.
He warned them that he was COM

arms. Immediately there were

Saved by FireHiss.

The gigantic tropical fredies which swarm in the forests and canebrakes of most of the low lying West Indian islands once proved the salvation Of the city of Santo Domingo. A body of buccaneers. headed by the notorious Thomas CavendiSh, had laid all their plans for a descent upon the place, In tending to massacre the inhabitants and carry away all the treasure they conveniently could, and had actually put of their boats for that purpose
 As they approached the land, however, rowing with untitled oars, they were greatly surprised to see an infinite number of moving lights in the woods which fringed the bayou up which they had to proceed, and, concluding that the Spaniards knew of their ap- proacb. they put about and regained their ship without attempting to land.
