The
HOuSebreaker

The young man paused for mo-
ment at the foot of the steps and
gave a quick glance at the house.
tried to open the door. Something
prevented him-the key he carried
didn't fit, or the door was bolted.
He hesitated moment as If unde.
cided Then he went around the
house and tried the side door, and the
rear door. Neither yielded to his ef-
forts. Evidently determined to enter
brought forth ladder. Placing this
against the porch he ascended to the
roof and moment later had disap-
peared through rear window.
And Marjorie Lane saw all this
from the house. Her mother was away
on visit, the maid was taking her
afternoon out, and her father was at
his Office Marjorie had been reading
in the little reception hall. when the
mans footsteps on the porch next
door aroused her. She looked out and
saw him.
The house next door had been un-
tenanted for several weeks. The
Stetsons had gone to New York on
visit. 1t was rumored they would
stay. But their furnishings were still
in the house. They were fine furnish
ings, too, as Marjorie knew. And here
was stranger, in mid-afternoon,
feloniously endeavoring to enter the
deserted home.
Marjorie ran back when the stran-
ger went round the house, and from a
kitchen window hidden behind the
shade, saw him bring up the ladder
and enter the window.
The girl turned pale. This was the
sort of felony that had become so
common. The stranger had found that
the house was untenanted and had
chosen the most quiet time of the day
for his nefarious work. No doubt he
was in there now, picking over Mrs.
Stetsons choicest treasures and Sc
lecting only the most valuable for his
bundle of loot.
What should she do?
With shock she remembered that
the telephone was out of order 1t
had suddenly ceased to do duty at
luncheon time. Her father, who had
come home to please Marjorie, had
tried to call his Office and failed.
"The phone is out of order" he
told her. II will call them up from
the Office and report it,"
Marjorie gave another little start
when she remembered this. 1t was
entirely probable that the daring
housebreaker next door had deliberate.

nefarious ends. A shipped wire would
do it. bad man who took such
chances would know how to surround
himself with safeguards.

NETS were all away on vacation TRIP

TREES LIGHTNING IS
MOST APT TO STRIKE.
Forestry Expert Also Tells Of Others
Less Liable to Electric Bolts.


What trees are most likely to be
struck by lightning? A Swedish for
estry journal called. the Woods has
made a serious study of this subject,
and the results are both instructive
and interesting. The oak, for exam
pie, is about hundred times more
likely to be struck than the beech.
Next to the oak, the trees that are
most often struck are the poplars,
pear trees, elms, willow, ash and the
larger kinds of evergreens.
Those least likely to be struck by
lightning are alders, naples. horse
chestnut and beeches. The last-named
seems to be the one that is least often
injured by lightning. A middle posi-
tion is occupied by lindens, apple
tees, cherry trees, walnut trees and
real chestnuts. The birch is classi.
fled by some as being quite safe from
lightning, while others have direct
ly opposite view.
A German botanist, Ernest Stahl, has
explained that liability to be struck
BY lightning depends on the ease with
which the trunks of different trees
get wet. It is well-known observa-
tion that "dry thunder" is the most
dangerous, and it is probable that the
wet layer about the bark Of tree acts
as a safeguard. Therefore. 1t is clear
that in a thunder storm it is best to
avoid trees that have been mutilated
in the crown.
1t may also be observed in this con-
nection that the number of people
killed every year for every million
inhabitants amounts to 1.S in Sweden.

street would bear practical results.
She was quite sure that the only man
within hearing distance would prove
to be that very bad individual who
even now presumably was stamping
Mrs. Stetsons choicest household
treasures.
Marjorie hesitated and wrung her
hands. There wasn't weapon in the
house, not even a stove poker-stove
pokers being unknown in homes heat
ed by natural gas.
Besides, what would an entire ar
senal avail her in the present dilem-
ma? The man would presently
emerge with his bundle of plunder and
hurry away. He might go over the
back fence, or the side fence, or
across the roofs. To pursue him with
firearms seemed out of the question
more especially as there were no fire.
arms available.
Having no other recourse Marjorie
determined to wait.
She looked at the library clock. 1t
was AIS. At O'Clock her father had
promised to be home. They were 60

would be sufficiently deliberate next
door it was possible her father would
return in time.
She was sure he would know just
what to do. Her father was that sort
Of man. If she could only call him
and she looked pathetically at the
useless phone.
There step sounded on the next
door porch. Marjorie ran back to the
hall. The man was letting himself out
of the Stetson door.
He closed the door carefully and
crossed the porch. He was carrying
something-a heavy suit case.
AS he went down the steps Mar.
jorie's heart fiuttered wildly. She
mustn't let him get away like this.
She opened the screen door and ran
out on the porch. The man had passed
the house, going toward the avenue.
She hurried after him.
"Sir!" she cried
he turned around suddenly-and
something in the suit case softly
jingled.
Marjorie shrank back.
The man looked little startled.
Did you call me?" he asked.
1t was evident that he had plenti-
ful supply of nerve.
YES" Marjorie stammered. What
could she say next? Have you mo-
ment's timer" she asked.
why, yes" he answered. "Sey-
eral moments"
Marjorie realized that she was in
an extremely unpleasant dilemma
Now that she stopped the man, what
could she do with him? Anyway, she
mustn't let him think she suspected
him.
You were looking at property on
this street recently, think" shs
said.
That might disarm him.

He looked puzzled.
did you find what you wanted?"
Instantly she realized that this didn't
sound well. She hastily amended it.
"Did you find house that suited
you?"
1t was evident that he had his sus-
picions. Marjorie realized this. She
was doing awkwardly. And yet when
she met his look. she couldn't help be-

THIS TREE BEARS TWO FRUITS.

The oldest freak fruit tree in York
county, Pennsylvania, is attracting at

Taylor, near Seven Valleys. One of
the two main branhces IS heavily la

The tree was not grated, it is said,
but two trees, peach and plum,
growing close together, intertwined
their roots in some manner.

FIND OLD WEAVING SHUTTLE
Prehistoric Sample is Now In Ethno-

homa University.

Norman, Okla.-A small boat-shaped
stone implement, believed to be the
handiwork of some prehistoric race,
has been received by J. B. Thoburn,
member OF the chronological depart
ment of the State University. 1t was
sent to Mr.. Thoburn by Edward B. An
derson, formerly an arts and science
student Of the university, now located
at Anglin, Tex.
According to Mr.. Thoburn, the i'm
plement is a shuttle used in weaving,
aud probably was made by some pre-
