Another Escape
Mrs. Joe Thompson will never
know how much of a turn she gave

much they considered her for q

It happened recently when Mrs
Thompson became i'll and went to
the Magee home to rest. She was
put to bed with fever and the
Magees had scarcely left to 60 out
side for a moment when she Shrek
ed:
Help, some ones stealing my
purse!"
The Magees rushed to the bed
room and found Mrs. Thompson
hysterically pointing first at her
purse on the dresser and then at
the door, still proclaiming that
someone was taking the purse!
Poor woman, She out of her
head Delirious!" the Magees
thought to themselves and attempt
ed to quiet her with soothing re-
marks.
It was several minutes before they
were convinced that Mrs. Thompson
hadn't been seeing things" and
that man had actually slipped
into the house and tried to take
the purse. She was so excited that
she didn't notice her screams had
made him drop it!
It ended up with Mrs, Magee
swarming outside TO shout stop
theft after the thief had fled.
