BURGLAR FALLS IN
LOVE, LOSES LOOT

GENEVA, Switzerland. July IS.
Madame Dullier, the beautifc.
wife of a wealthy tradesrnan, found
this note at lee pillow when Sic a.
woke one morning:
"Signorina-Last night l visited
you flat when you were asleep in
order to rob you. I collected your
jewles and some other valuables,
which l am greatly ashamed to say
intended taking with me.
81 saw ,you sleeping peacefully
and fell in 1--we with you. l sat by
your bedside for 10 minutes
'devouring' ycur beauty, and be-
came ashamed of myeslf. Therefore

sitting at her desk, with her long
white hands draped over the keys of
her typewriter. She looked as if
she had been sitting that way a
long time.
L thought I told you not to work
late these hot nights, Susyw Dick
said severely, closing the outer door
behind him.
Pm not working" Miss Briggs
answered, duly. "And it's not late
only eight o'clock"
As she spoke a clock somewhere
across the roofs of the city chimed
eight.
"Has Mrs. Gregory called up here
tonight for me?" was Dicks next
question.
Miss Briggs shook her smooth
brown head. "No," she said, almost
inaudibly.
She sat motionless. Only her blue
eyes moved as she watched him take
off his hat and hang it up. He
picked up his brief-case from the
chair where he had laid it and
turned toward his private office.
Sue Briggs could see. that there
was sort of restlessness upon him.
He seemed to be waiting feverishly
for something vital-stupendous.
"Be sure to call me if she does
Phone" he said, as he went into his
office.
In a minute or two he came out
again.
"Call up Mrs. Gregory's mother
and ask if she's there, please" he

But to her intense relief, it was
not Dicks voice, but Mother Greg
ory's, that answered the phone.
"This is Gloria, speaking" the
girl said. Is Dick there, please?"
"No, he's notv Mother Gregory's
full voice snapped off the words.
"He came home to dinner, but he's
gone out for the evening"
"All right goodby," Gloria
faltered.

The house smelled musty.


Gloria threw open the windows
and doors. She took off her hat,
and ran out into the back yard to
pick some of the late roses that
giowed among the leaves of the
bushes.
She filled bowls and vases with
them, and turned on all the lamps
in the living-room. The house began
to feel home-like and happy
again.
There came a sound of footsteps
on the back porch.
The Donberg twins stood there,
peering in through the screen door.
Their NOSES were flattened against
the wire netting.
"Hello," one of them said "We're
glad you're home again. We like
you"
Because you're pretty" the 9th
sr added, solemnly.
"You mustn't like people because
they're pretty" Gloria told them.
"You must like folks because they
are nice and good like your
mother"
"Wen, no. But l can tell
fairy Stories" Gloria answered.
Come over tomorrow and III tell
you one about a poor girl who was
bewitched by an ogre"
She thought of herself and Stan
Wayburn. In his own sleek, dapper
way, Stan had been a sort of ogre.
He certainly had bewitched her, af-

the use thinking about it?

The pair dashed down the steps,
racing to see who could reach home
first, to be the proud bearer of the
borrowed ice.
In a few minutes the light tap
ping of high heels came across the
porch. The twins mother stood
there, holding large lump of ice
in one hand and a covered plate in
the other.
Hello, there" she called cheer
fully. "What are you doing here?
l thought you and your nice hus-
band had gone away for good"
"Oh, I just came back to pack up
some things" Gloria put her off.
"And thought while l was here,
I'd get bite to eat"
