jjriday, July 14, 1911 THB SNYDER SIGNAL, SNYDER, TEXAS A QUICK RECOVERY By MARJORIE CLOUGH copyright by American Prui Asso ciation. Ml. I Imd Juit entered society at tho nee L; nineteen when my father dt.-d In- oivnt nun rrom ntiiuence we won- re lured to poverty. I found a position on Rovcroesx in family of a Mrs Woodward, n rldew with several children. Lacy, rirl nearly my age, wus tho oldest IDgfctet nud. of eourse. I had noth- Bok; to do with her education. Then re was a aou, imrry, absent at- biding, lectures Ho enine houiu (lur ing vacations, but paid uio no ntten ilou whatever during these visits. He Kfls lulerosted In youug Ingles occu- tying rue social worm in which l had juft mndo my debut and disappeared. Ie used to talk n grent deal about bem, and I thought that had It ut en for my misfortune had he met dp In the gay world be would have tioken of me In the saino way. LMy duties wero to take care of the Title children who had only begun to I learn. I was something, but not id ti'-li better than n nurse. Mrs. Woodward was tuken down Iwlth typhoid fever. The doctor order ed a trained nurse, but when she came the invalid directed that I bo with her constantly while the nurse should only attend her when necessary. This threw upon me tho brunt of the nun Ing, the trained nurse only carrying t such work as tho doctor's assist Int. And Just when she was most peeded sho took herself off to accept permanent position. The night tho nurse left the patient had had a hemorrhage, and the doctor trended her having another. He told line to keep her In the utmost quiet, for she was In a dangerous condition. Her life depended on this. In tbo middle of the night my mis jpss asked me feebly for some gruel ktepped Into the hall and was stir , fined to find the lights that had !eeri lleft burning below wero out and all was In darkness. I returned for matches and went down the Btalrcase. At tho bottom a light was flashed In my face and a man's voles called Ifruffly: "I want the valuables!" I was always a timid girl, but In I this case my mistress' condition con quered fsar. I told thn man that here was -an Invalid upstairs and If aJhe knew he was In the house It would kill her. He evidently did not believe me, for he spoke very harshly to me. holding a revolver right In front of my face and ordering me to tell him where the valuables were kept. Now, there was not a bit of silver plate or Jewelry in the house that was not In the sickroom. My mistress had always kept them there In health and tainted on the silver being carried there every evening after dinner Ihey were nothing to me beside her life I begged the man so bard to he Steve me, at the same time telling him that I wonld bring him everything of vtlue, that he permitted me to go for them. But how was I to excuse myself to Imy mistress for carrying the things out? If I told her nothing of what had occurred would she not believe that I was robbing her when she was too 111 to stop me? Her son and daughter were both In the house, but to awaken either one of them would be death to their mother. I must think quickly. What put the plan I adopted into my head I know not. It came like a flash MM back Into my mistress' room II began to turn the gas up and down. Anally turning It out as If by mistake 'Oh. dear," I said, "how nnlnrKy And I don't know where there are matches." While I pretended to be huntlnc for the matches I was gatherlnc some vnl nable Jewels that I knew were kept In a drawer of the bureau Tnklne them and picking up the box In which the sliver was kept. I went downstairs Te burglar was waiting for me Tie nod his light on what I brought him and remarked that there was wod lot of swsg. Then he ordered mo into the kitchen and. taking : rlothesllo hanging against the wall, bed me to a Wavy table In vain 1 bweged him to i sae go to my tress. "Oh, no!" he nj4 "Xou'd call ne police." He went awny. and I began nr --. trying to free myself My Joints were ery supple, and I soon slipped my hands out of the rope, nfter which h was uo greut work to free myself Taking up the gruel that was on the range. I went back to my mistress snd relighting the gas, gave her what she would take of It. Then, telling her t tr.v to get some sleep. I went down stairs to the telephone and reported the robbery to the police rortunatelj the burglar had not had time b eet to a place of safety with his swag an by communicating quickly with nil the policemen within range he was ruptured. The next morning when I told Harry lnd T.ncy what had occurred they were I beside themselves with terror till i P ached the end. when Lucy ssnk down to a chair and Harry-well. 1 "hall neTer forget the look Harry vr mr Just then there was a ring at the tele Phone, and the notice reported that I the robber had been taken with Jewels and silverware. Mrs Wimhnnt recovered, and the Idoctor said that I had certainly saved life. Harrv Woodward had noth Img more to any about the girls he met m soeierr When he entered upon Ms I Peeress trm he married sae, gad I was ejce aore In the circle to which I be wrd and fmm that day to this have feed a happy Ufa.
