DOUGH SHARES A BURGLAR
Policeman Battles ProwIIno Negro by
Binding Him With the
Weeks Baking.

Highland Park. Ill.-Chief Of Police
Genest the other day introduced q
new method into the art Of capturing
a thief, when he arrested a negro
burglar by means of pan Of bread
dough accurately thrown.
Chief Genest and Policeman Reip-
enwald. In response to telephone
call, hurried to the residence OF
James Prindeville. The burglar had
fed, but commotion in the home OF
Mrs A. p Smith next door attracted
their attention.
AS the policemen entered the ktch-
en- a negro ran past them and dove
through window. AS he leaped
Chief Genest seized a pan OF dough
which was raising" on table near
by and hurled 1t at the thief. His aim
was accurate. The pan struck the
negro's head and the dough. falling
into his eyes, 80 blinded him that his
capture was easy. The negro pleaded
with his captors to help him clear
away the debris.

amused themselves by dining on three
biscuits, two glasses of port and q
bunch of violets. In the evening, she
did not sing; and he did not receive
his usual letter. though they had ar
during that month. The next morn
ing, he ran off to Mamma Valerius,
who told him that Christine had gone
away for two days. She had left at
five o'clock the day before.
Raoul was distracted. He hated
Mamma Valerius for giving him such
news as that with such stupefying
calmness. He tried to sound her. but
the old lady obviously knew nothing.
Christine returned on the following
day. She returned in triumph. She
renewed her extraordinary success OF
the gala performance Since the ad-
venture of the toad" Carlotta had
not been able to appear on the stage.
The terror of a fresh ''co-ack" filled
her heart and deprived her OF all her
power Of singing; and the theater
that had witnessed her incomprehen-
sible disgrace had become odious to
hSi' ohc COulllNeQ W CduCci hci SOh
tract. Daae was offered the vacant
place for the time. She received thun,
ders of applause In the Juive.
The viscount, who, of course, was
present, was the only one to suffer
on hearing the thousand echoes OF
this fresh triumph; for Christine still
wore her plain gold ring. \ distant
voice whispered in the young mans
ear:
She is wearing the ring again to-
night; and you did not give it to her
She gave her soul again tonight and
did not give 1t to you. II she
will not tell you what she has been
doing the past two days you

He ran behind the scenes and

him for her eyes were looking for him
| She said:

And she dragged him to her dress
ing-room.
Raoul at once threw himself on his
knees before her. He swore to heI

"Oh, really! He's working. is her"
"Yes, he can't open and shut the
trap-doors and work at the same
time" She shivered.
What is he working atr'
"Oh, something terriblei /.
But it's all the better for us. :.
When he's working at that. he sees
nothing; he does not eat, drink, or
breathe for days and nights at a
time he becomes living
dead man and has no time to amuse
himself with the trap-doors."
She shivered again. She was still
holding him in her arms. Then she
sighed and said. in her turn:
Suppose 1t were he!"
Are you afraid of him?"
mo. no, of course not" she said.
For all that, on the next day and
the following days, Christine was
careful to avoid the trap-doors. Her
agitation only Increased as the hours
passed. At last. one afternoon, she
arrived very late, with her face SO
desperately pale and her eyes so des-
perately red, that Raoul resolved to
go to all lengths, including that which
he foreshadowed wnen he blurted out
that he would not go on the North
Pole expedition unless she first told
him the secret of the mans voice.
Hush! Hush, in heavens name!
Suppose he heard you. you unfortu-

And Christines eyes stared wildly

She allowed herself this doubt,
which was an encouragement, while
dragging the young man up to the
topmost floor of the theater, far, very
far from the trap-doors.
| Il shall hide you in some unknown
corner of the world, where he can
not come to look for you. You will be
safe; and then I shall go away
as you have sworn never to marry"
Christine seized Raouls hands and
squeezed them with incredible rap
ture. But. suddenly becoming alarmed
again, she turned away her head.
