The savage tribes have a custom of

Ethel Meadows-Tt1e Mys-
ferrous Carl.

One bright summer day in June
two young mef were walking to the
mountains. AS it was very hot they
sat down by shade tree at the
spring. They were having CONVEX
sation when they heard a voice.
John got UP to see where it was, but
saw nobody. They went on talking
and heard the same voice again.
This time they went behind some
bushes and hid. Tom walked to where
he thought he heard the voice and
saw a cave.
There were dozen or more men
around a fire talking. Two OF them
said that they would go and rob the
house on the corner John and Tom
listened little while longer and then
sneaked away. They ran as fast as
they could to tell the police. The po-
lice said they would wait until that
night and catch them at the house. AT
nine o'clock ten Of the best policemen
went to the house where the thieves
intended to rob, and hid themselves.
About twelve o'clock when all was
still they heard somebody coming.
The robbers looked all around to SEQ
in a window. They found much Jew
elry and silverware and put it in
bag. When they had ransacked
drawers and found money and every
thing else that they wanted they
started to go out the door.
Just then the policemen jumped out
from their hiding place and caught
them. They took them to the jail and
locked them up in cells. Then they
started for the cave. John and Tom
led the way and they soon had the
other robbers. There we're all kinds
of gold. silver, jewelry and automo-
biles which had been stolen that sum-
mer. All of the robbers were taken
to the Jail and locked up.
The two men received a reward for
finding the thieves.
