BOLD BURGLARY
ON BOYD HEIGHTS

On the night of the twenty second,
while Mr.. Richie, one of the band
boys was downtown, two masked men
entered his home on Boyd Heights,
bound and gagged his wife, and ran

find the loot they were seeking and
went away thoroughly disgusted.
This should be a warning to the

no surprise at the sight of it.

The father was silent for moment.

it as you please. Think it over carefully,
and this afternoon tell us what you have
decided to do with it. All your life we
have tried to teach you what is right, and
we think it wise now, since you acquired
this money by methods not sanctioned
by us, to let you assume the whole re-
sponsibility of it's disposition
AT four o'clock. when his father and
\ mother entered the room, and Mr..
Pettigrew said: well, Foster!' the
boy answered promptly:

aShake hands on that, son!' exclaimed
the father.
The mother said nothing, for her lips
twisted in an odd little smile that seemed
to prevent her speaking. But she bent
over the bed and gave Bantry kiss that
made him fairly Jingle.

under the wire, his rider low upon his
withers. But it was only pitiful simu-

buckled beneath him; he swayed visibly;
he shook the froth from his mouth. And
few rods beyond the judges stand he
went down in a cloud of dust.
PANTRY rode home in Norman Nor

in splints, one cheek criss-crossed with
court-plaster, the tip of his nose raw, and
a large purplish lump on his forehead.
With him, in the tonneau, We're his father
and mother; while alongside-for the
automobile proceeded very slowly-rode
Stub Hatch on his bicycle, green with
envy, yet grateful for the humble part
he had played in the spectacular event.
And Billy Boy? He too was taking
ride about the same time-a lonesome
ride, in one of the fairs work-wagons,
across the fields toward Cutters wood.
His parents had intended to keep the
pony's death from Bantry for while.
But Immediately after recovering con-
seriousness he had murmured family:

intervals. At last, though, he asked
