of Parkersburg is greater than the
number in the county. of Wood out

HIS MIND UP IN THE CLOUDS

A great lover of animals, Professor
Dryasdust was much given to having
his pet dog sitting beside him at meal
times eating tidbits from his own lit.
tie plate.
The other evening he was at din
ner party, and his partner was very
great lady, who was proud of her
title.
But the professor paid absolutely no
attention to her. His mind had
switched off on to some abstruse point
and he was lost to the world over the
problem.
The duchess did not approve of this,
and presently, to attract his attention,
she pulled him gently by the sleeve.
Then the professor woke up. Grab
bling half-picked chicken bone from
his plate, he thrust it under her
startled nose.
Don't bother just now, Fido!" he
laid CURLY. Here, take this and go
and eat it on the mat. like a good dog

the house and see II it offered any
inducements for us to make a try for
it. A better place could not have
been made for us. There was a va
cant building in the rear of the house
facing Thirty-third street. We found
that an entrance could be forced in
it easily.
1T was merely taking a chance, for
there was no telling where the pres
ents, which would certainly be given
to the bride, would be kept. If they
were taken upstairs, they would be
our mutton; if not, we would have a
little trouble for nothing.
ION the night of the wedding re-
ception we got into the vacant house.
We could see from our watching place
that the presents were on tables In
the second story. We kept quiet I'm.

wedding supper. Then it was time
for us to begin our little act. It was
a matter of shining over fence to

It was too high to jump out of the
window in case of discovery, so The
Kid dropped a rope ladder from the

vacant house. We then watched our
chance, and got the stuff into a cab
which was waiting on the corner for
us. 1t was the slickest piece of work
ever done in New York. The next day
howl went up from the people for
protection which must have given the
police chill.

THE excitement was at fever heat

strong to say that between the hours
of five and eight in the evening, half
a million persons were on the look
out in the streets and in the houses to
get a sight of the men who seemed
to be-from the fact that no one saw
them at all-more of the nature of
spirits than human beings. The rob-
berries were not confined to any Sec
ton, but spread in all directions in
all parts of the city. 1t was evident
from the style of the work, that in
the Fifth avenue district there were
two or more very expert thieves en-
gagged. In other parts of the city men
were at work, probably imitators Of
these, who did not move with the
same caution and certainty.

"Other policemen made arrests in
all sections of the city. In spite of all
the vigilance exercised by the police
and citizens, the big robberies went
on night after night. The thieves
seemed TO have the strange facility
of picking out the very houses to at

and the worst guarded. It was ut.

The holiness with which second

As a matter of fact, the risk is not so
great as in any number of other styles
