FINE START, BUT TAME ENDING
Plenty of Action at First In Story
From London, But II
FizzIed Out.

London.-A gentleman and his wife,
occupying a villa at Ilford, deciding to
leave home for two or three days,
asked neighbor to keep an eye on
the place. The vigllant neighbor act
Ing upon instructions, that night oh.
served light In a bedroom OF the
presumably unoccupied house. At the
moment that the light was noticed It
was extinguished
Accompanied by policeman, the
neighbor made forcible entrance
through the scullery window. and
quietly the two men made their way
to the bedroom. The light of the con-
stables bull's-eye disclosed the head
of a man in bed, and the constable
promptly drew his truncheon. As
promptly the occupant of the bed
sprang out, and desperate struggle
commenced
simultaneously lady dashed across
the room shrieking, threw open the
window. clambered out, and began, at
considerable peril, to work her way
around the balconies. A second con.
stable, passing at the time, thought
that the lady was bent on suicide, but
those inside the house dragged her
back into the room, and the facts be-
gan to assert themselves.
The captured invader OF the empty
house was the occupant, the lady was
his wife. Their holiday arrangements
had suddenly been changed, but the
neighbor had not been informed OF the
altered plans.
Happily no injuries resulted from
the encounter with the constable nor
from the lady's dangerous escapade.
and the actors are now endeavoring
to appreciate the joke.

ROOSTER IS BURGLAR ALARM
Awakens Nelghbors Of Owner, Who
Finds Thieves RlfIlng
Hen Coop.

Louisville, Ky.-The goose whose
cackling warned the Roman populace
of the invasion of the Goths and Huns
will now have to share honors with
Wallace Renfro's rooster, which
crowed so loud one night that he
awakened Mr.. Renfros neighbors in
time for them to give chase to two
burglars who were rifiing his hen
coop.
The looters managed to secure four
fowls, which they carried despite the
fact that they were pursued for sew.
cral blocks. They had evidently come
with the intention of making a whole
sale cleanup, as they left behind sew,
eral bags in which they had intended
to stow the fowls.
Mr.. Renfro was not at home az the
time OF the raid on his hen coop, but
the shrill Growing of his rooster
caused several neighbors to peep out
OF their windows just in time to see
dusky forms gliding about in the back
yard OF the home at No. 3911 West
Broadway. They gave chase, but were
outdistanced by the feet thieves.
The hen roost of G. r. Minott, al
1909 West Broadway, next door to Mr..
Renfro's place, was also robbed. and
several valuable fowls were taken.
