 It seems therefore, with these chances in favor of the burglar, that experimenting the house-breaker is & considerable task. The police are willing to admit that the job is no sinecure, but despite numerous hand leaps they do capture burglars and bring them to justice.

Wise Burglar Of Today Avoids Public Places-Machine To Blame
 For His Latter Day Elusiveness

Of all the criminals who attempt to make a nefarious living by preying upon the property, and sometimes the Ives of their lava biding neighbors, the hardest to capture. according to the police, is the burglar. When the mean the sneak thief, but the man who actually breaks and enters houses, stores, banks or any sort of building.
 The average burglar is very elu- sive individual because of several cts which operate in his favor. In the first place, the professional house breaker has no particular field in which he must ply his trade. He can work a job in one city tonight, and by tomorrow he will be miles away planning another break The au- tom obile plays an important part in this particular phase of the activities Of a burglar, for with a machine at his command he can avoid the dan train or in 8 station. Trains and de- pots are still carefully watched by the police, but the wise burglar has learn eS to avoid these places.
 Another factor in favor of the bur glar, is that the police never know He plans his "Jobs'' carefully, be- comes familiar with the habits of the policeman on whose beat the '1break' is to be made. and works accordingly. In the residential and outlying sec tions of any city, policemen will pass a certain house only once during given time, and 1t is while the officer is on another part of his beat that the burglar will operate.

 own generosity and the manner Tn
 which it had touched the hard heart
 of the iniquitous mate.
 MT. Gibney laid five one hundred
 dollar bills in the mates palm.
 "Good-by.' he said gently, "an' see
 if you can't be as much of man an
 as good a sport hereafter as them
 you've wronged an who's forgive you

 One by one the three freebooters of
 the green pea trade pumped the

 scrap of advice, and went overside in

 them ashore. It was a solnen parting

 The next day, as the Hillonian steamed out fo the harbor, bearing the
 syndicate back to San Francisco, they looked across at the little Maggie II for the last time. and observed that the mate was on deck, experimenting three Kanaka sailors who were hoist ing supplies aboard from a bumboat Commodore Gibney bade his first command a misty farewell.
 "Good,by, little ship" he yelled and waved his hand. "Gawd! You was a witch in a light wird.'
