Wakefield, society matron OF this
pface, found a burglar in her kitch.
en-. Instead Of proceeding in the
orthodox fashion and summoning
an officer Of the law, she insisted
on giving the intruder a good meal
and sent him on his way rejoicing,
with a check for $3.50 tucked away
in one ragged pocket.
Today Mrs. Wakefield made pub
lie letter from the intruder in
which he offered to "go the limit"
for her, and suggested that he was
