his salient points for a moment. he
belonged to the third type of burglars.
This third type has not yet been
recognized and accepted. The police
have made us familiar with the first
and second. Their classification Is
simple. The collar is the distinguish.
ing mark.
When n burglar is caught who docs
not wear a collar lie is described MS a
degenerate Of the lowest type. sIngu-
larly vicious and dcpraved, aud is sus.
pectcd Of being the, desperate criminal
who stole the handouts out of Patrol.
man Hennessy's pocket in 1878 and
walked away to escape arrest.
Tho other well known type is the
burglar who wears a collar. He is al.
ways referred to as n Rallies in real
life. He is invariably a gentleman by
daylight, breakfasting in a dress suit
and posing us n paperhanger. while
after dark he plies bis ncfarious occu.
patton of burglary. His mother is an
extremely wealthy and respected resi-.
dent Of Ocean Grove. and when he Is
conducted to his cell he asks at once
for n nah ile and the Police Gazette.
he always has n wife in every state

territories, aud the newspapers print
bis matrimonial gallery out of their
stock Of cuts Of the ladies who were
cured by only one bottle, after hav.
Ing been given up by five doctors, ex-
%pericncing great relief after the first
dose.
The burglar wore n blue sweater.
He was neither n Rallies nor one Of
the chefs from Hell's Kitchen. The
police would have been baflcd bad
they attempted to classify him. They
have not yet heard Of the respectable.
u%nassuming burglar who is neither
above nor below his station.
This burglar OF the third class be:
gan to prowl. He wore no masks,
dark lanterns, or gum shoes. He car.
ried a 3s caliber revolver in his pocket.
and he chewcd peppermint gum
thoughtfully.
The furniture OF the house was
swathed In its summer dust protec.
tors. The silver was far away In
safe deposit vaults. The burglar ex.
pectcd no remarkable "hnul." His oh.
jective point was that dimly lighted
room where the master OF the house
