The nRarcfootsd Gazette. y

The carrying of firearms by bur-
glars has been deprecated In Bostat-
ska Gazeta, which apparently is the
only newspaper to represent the
views of the thieying fraternity. The
first number of the Barefooted Ga.
zette made its appearance In Moscow
on July l, 1908. At first 1t was re-
garded as comic weekly, and the
authorities paid no attention to II;
but they soon discovered that 1t was
the official organ of Russian thieves.
Every week accounts of the latest
burglaries and thefts were given, fol.
lowed by comments in which mistakes
that led to discovery. and capture
were criticised, and various points of
the technique of thieving were dis.
cussed. The editor often pointed out
the folly Of carrying revolvers when
pursuing the peaceful profession of
burglary, and advised his readers to
avoid bloodshed whenever possible.
For some time the police were baf-
fed in their attempts to find the pub
Usher Of this remarkable journal, but
at length they succeeded, and the Ca
zette ceased to appear.

They rang spitefully against the wood
en- sides of the shaft-house and tram,
and rolled from the slanting roofs
with rumbling notes.
Mccarthy was down and out. A
rock had struck him full on the fore
head, its jagged corners laying open
his scalp and telling him.
Sanders, disobedient at last, could
stand no more He broke through the
opening, his 1.-THE form bounding into
the open and hating in front of the
fallen man. He stood over him, try
ing with his little body to protect the
great bulk beneath. In desperation he
shrieked to the strikers to stop, to
wait, to do anything but throw more.
A few more scattering rocks fell
near him, but none struck the mark.
The mob, robbed for an instant of its
prey, hesitated to stone to death a
mere boy. There was something SO
fearless and yet SO appealing in his
attitude that it cried pause.
Sanders. in fury of rage. the blood

aside or run away.

Down below in the yard, or level
place between the shaft-houses and
the shops, was what looked like an
army Of men. The place was black
with them. With his back against the
shaft-house, stood the manager, his
great, stocky form planted squarely ON
widespread feet, his unarmed hands
hanging loosely by his sides, and his
whole attitude that of unwavering de-
termination. He was evidently ad-
dressing the men, because at some

break into hoarse shouts and wild
gesticulation. Mccarthy stood un-

Sanders waited to see or hear no
more. He ran unobserved down to the
long tramway and entered 1t through
a place where board was loose at
the bottom. With glowing eyes he
raced through the semi-darkness to-
ward the shaft-house.
AS he dashed through the shaft
house he saw Glover, the loyal, stand

opening with rife in his hand. He
scarcely saw John, the grim old engi-

haste, loading a long-barreled and
blackened Colts. Here were those

the glass in one or two mirrors, and
then sent for the repair man to come
