CHAPTER VII.
A Burglars Visit.

"Prue!"
A snail hand gripped Prudence's
shoulder, and again came hoarsely
whispered:
"Prue!"
Prudence sat up in bed with a
bounce.
"What in the world?' she began.
gazing out into the room, half-lial,ted
by the moonshine, and seeing Carol and
Lark shivering beside her bed.
Ssh. Sh! Hush y whispered Lark,
''rhere's Il burglar in our roo,n!'

Yes, there u.s." declared Carol with
some heat. 1--WE heard him, plain as
day. He stepped into the closet, didn't
he, Lark?"
He certainly did, agreed Lark.
did you see him?''
NO, we heard him. Carol heard
him first, and she spoke, and nudged
me. Then heard him, too. He was
at our dresser, but he shot across the
room and into the closet. He closed
the door after him. He's there now
you've been dreaming" said Fairy,
lying down again.
I'VE don't gel orally dream the same
thing at the same minute said Carol
stormily. 81 tell you he's in there"
"And you two great big girls came
off and left poor little Connie in there
alone with a burglar, did you? Well,
you are nice ones, must say"
And Prudence leaped out of bed and
started for the door, followed by Fairy,
with the twins creeping fearfully along
in the rear.
"She was asleep" muttered Carol.
1--WE didn't want to scare her." added
Lark.
Prudence was careful to turn the
switch by the door, so that the room
was in full light before she entered.
The closet door was wide open. Con-
ME was soundly sleeping. There was
no one else in the room.
you see?" said Prudence sternly.
TN bet he took our ruby rings" de-
clared Lark, and the twins and Fairy
ran to the dresser to look.
But sickening realization had come
home to Prudence. In the lower hall,
under the staircase, was small dark
closet which they called the dungeon.
The dungeon door was big and solid,
and was equipped with heavy CATCH
lock. In this dungeon, Prudence kept
the family silverware, and all the
money she had on hand, as it could
there be safely locked away. But more
often than not, Prudence forgot to lock
it.
Mr.. Starr had gone to Burlington
that morning to attend special revival
services for three days, and Prudence
had fifty whole dollars in the house.
an unwonted sum in that parsonage!
And the dungeon was not locked. With
out word, she, slipped softly out of

As Hugh Chalmers Sees It

ITO my mind there are only three
fundamental principles in advertis-
ing: namely, be honest, be sensible,
be persistent. I say be honest, be-
cause every advertiser should re-
member that advertising doesn't
create value, it merely tells of it.
The value has to be in the article
itself. / say be sensible, because
the majority of people who read
are endowed with common sense.
l say be persistent, because you
have to keep everlastingly at it.
People soon forget, and unless we
keep persistenly at advertising, we
had better not begin at al."-Vim.
