Little Julianne, who is the daughter
Of Lee Hagan president of the Hagan-
Dodd Company, had been put to bed by
her aunt because she is a very little
girl and because the Hagans were
holding a big reception to half hun
dred guests In the brilliantly lighted
dining hall below
and while she lay alone In her dark
ened bed room upon the second floor
she heard a noise at the window of the
guest room, where all the wraps and
purses lay just beyond. (. Julianne crept
out Of her bed and toddled into the
other room and came upon the burglar
bending over a bed on which lay many
hats and cloaks with the women guests
purses in the pockets
Robs Woman's Cloak.
The baby looked at the burglar as
the burglar hastily drew a silver mesh
purse from the pocket of cloak that
belonged to woman guest from Chi
cago. Then he confronted Julianne
Go way from here" cried the un-
frightened four year old. GO way
from here, cause you're a naughty
burglar man. If you don't I'm going to
call for my auntie.'
Downstairs musicians struck up a
waltz and the guests, singing and
laughing, began dancing.
Il Amt any burglar" said the in
fix that bed there You run back and
go to sleep"
Il won't go back to sleep and I'm
going to call my auntie,' retorted Ju-
lianne. and she did cry out Justify
so that the guests in the ball room
heard her screams and began running
up the staircase to find out what all
the sudden trouble was about.
Took the Childs Candy.
The burglar took fright at their APP
proach. Cursing the little child who
still faced him boldly from the door of
the darkened guest room he thrust the
pocketbook he had stolen into his coat
pocket and bolted through the open
window, shining down a porch post
and scooting through a back alley just
as Mr.. and Mrs. Hagan and half their
guests burst upon the scene.
Then Julianne knew that there wasn't
any more danger and she began to cry
with fright
The police were notified. after the
guests had searched the neighborhood
fruitlessly for half hour officers An.
derson and McWilliams hurried out to
the Hagan home and in the alleyway
! they found the pocketbook, which the
burglar had thrown away after he had
taken out the money They found also
that the alley was strewn with disks
of vari- eolored candy which they think
the burglar took believing they were
poker chips. The candy had been a
| present from her uncle to Julianne
Julanne was put to bed again. after
all the guests had kissed her and told
! her what little heroine she was but
she couldn't go to sleep all night. All
she could tell about the burglar was
that he was a great big white man
and had something over part of his
face
Julianne is the toast of the neigh
borhood She is staying at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hagan while her moth
er and father are away upon a motor
I ing trip.
