Illngham was dreaming about Ue
ipolltlanl muddle In Kentucky, mo lie
iwas nut tarty te have tils slumber dis
turbed, cvin by a bnrglar. Hut was It
ft burglar? liven the philosophical.
Imperturbable Mr. I'lilllp Illnghum,
man of business, wm forced to admit
that there could be little doubt. From
down-stairs, In the library, ho thought,
came a series at noise thnt told only
too plainly that the house wm being
Invaded.
, Ulngham was not a oowart), but
somehow ho trod never noticed what
llltfe lega ho had to aupport luoh a big
iinnti, Ho had .thought, too, that he
'had driven tho malaria from his ays
Item, yet there wai n chilly fooling In
the region of hi baok. lie shook him
; nnlf and wished he were just around
tho earner ot the block. Ho knew n
place where they sold n stimulant that
would make almost anybody fight
(burglars.
As he stood there In the middle ot
tho floor, one arm drawn baok as It to
fell the Intruder, who was no closer
than tho floor below, Ulngham calcu
lated his position. His wlfo was away,
'the house bad been oloiod for n week.
The servant had beon sent homo till hln
wlfo's return, and he was atone alone
with tho burglar nud his thoughts. Ho
I wondered which he would rather havo
for a steady companion the burglar
or tho thoughts and almost decided to
choose the burglar. Then he even
managed to smllo as he rubbed hie ohln
, nnd tried to reach a conclusion na what
to do,
Presently Illngham atolo sllintly
fovcr to tho drotsor and rummaged
i about In the drawer, from which he
abstracted what looked In tho unetr
I tain light to be a pistol of ancient pat
(tern.
' "If It won't sTioflt," he muttered to
himself. "1 can throw It at him. TMs
.Is the penalty for deoelvlng a wife, or
I've told mine a hundred times that
'we were prepared to repel an army.
Mother that fellow, why didn't he let
I me know he was coming?"
Ulngham tiptoed from the room and
, began to ilcuend the amir -the most
I creaky atalm. lie thought, that ever a
bungling carpenter tiullt. Tho biirgla-.
It occurred to Ulngham, might take
alarm and flee, which would be better,
after all. II" whs beginning to fed
what a terrible thing It would be io
'tnke n human life, so he waited for n
'minute to give the intruder a chance 10
oecape. Hut the burglar only made
more noise than before, and Illngham
wm forced to proceed.
I Healthily lllngbatn mado his way to
'the scene of the robber's operations,
'which prored to be the dining-room.
The iloor was closed. Illngliara quick
.ly planned his attack. He would seise
'the knob, throw the door open, present
'his pistol, and onll on the burglar U
isurrender. That would be much mow
humane than wounding or perhaps
killing him. lleslde. Ulngham was not
confident that his pistol would kill
anything.
) Nerving himself, Ulngham mado tho
rUHU ho felt hlmrilt being drenebed
.with water, a strong urm bore him to
(tho lloor, nnd then then, much to his
disgust, he was actually sat upon by
tho man ho had expeotod to surprise.
SlJlnhfnl silently refloated that tho at
tack must have miscarried.
1 "Well, you'ro tho easiest I eror
'saw," chuckled tho man who was us
'Jug the divan. "Tried to play ma a
my own gnitie, eh? Thought that I
didn't havo anything else t o, so just
(dropped In to let you bowl mo over?
Didn't know that I mado all that racket
.w I could get you to come to me In-
.stead of going to you? Didn't know I
was going to wash you off so you
weulefn't soil rny broadcloth?"
1! tagks in was gradually recovering
' (ttto breath. He realised that the rob
ber kad been waiting to dash a pall ef
& 'water In tils face and that he had fallen
into Ota trap.
"What are you going to do with mo
new that you've got ma?" be asked.
. "Tnat deptadi on new you behave,"
answered the captor, producing a pair
of handcuffs, which he Ailed te It lag
haw's wrleU. "If you're good, raebbe
111 let you watch me burglo. It's right
InisrssUruc to those who ala't on. If
'you're bad I'll eat you. Now, kit up."
illngham est up and watched the fnl
ny as ha took drawer after drawer
aad satnttsd the roatantfc on the time.
"Mot Much btre." hi nattered, as Its
ssrlsd the stuff with hU foot, "as I
rktm we'd better go up-stalrs."
"How long have you been here and
how did you get In?" ventured Ulng
ham, who was beginning to feel ready
acquainted with his visitor.
The burglar turned to him with just
the suggestion of a twinkle In his eye.
"It's this way," be said. "My wateh
Is out ojf order, so I cuu't quite tell how
long I're enjoyed your tender hospi
tality. On the naxt jab I'll be able to
tell, (or I'm going to borrow your
wateh when we get up.stslrs. I, came
In through tbe pantry window, laugh
ing all the time IX those burglar
alarms or ymin, Ysti'd have tlnae
beUar to put your rasnoy in lattery
tickets. Oome an, now; walk ahead
we're going up-stalrs."
Ulngham obeyed the command, and
with misgivings, far It had just oo
stirred to him that In his wallet under
his pillow was several hundred dollars
which he had drawn from the bank to
complete a deal early next morning.
In his excitement he had not thought
to hide It before he went dnwn-stnlrs.
"Turn In there!" sternly command
ed tho burglar, ns Ulngham purposely
passed the door of his own room, "and
rcmembtr that trying to throw me oft
cornea under tho head of being bad. I
think I'd bettor 'tend to you beforo you
got gay. 811 In that chair."
Ulngham sat In tho chair. Thoro
was nothing else to do. And, sitting
there, he gritted his teetb, white the
burglar calmly proceeded to tie his feet
securely together with towels.
"If you so mueh as bat an eye, I'll
swallow you," was the fellow's ad
monition as lie finished and began to
look about the room.
First he helped himself to Uinghatn'a
ruff buttons, nnd then he added to his
plunder the diamond In Ulngham's
shirt. Humming a popular nlr, he then
approached tho bed, raised tho pillow
and took tho wallet. Ulngham's feel
ings overflowed. To bo robbed was
bad enough, but to bo robbsd to rag
time seemed the Intensity of humility.
"I'll make you suitor Mr this If It
takes a lifetime," Ulngham shouted,
"I'll "
"You'll Mint tip. that's what you'll
do," said tbe burglar, solzlng another
towel and binding It around ningham'a
mouth, "I'm going to take n tittle trip
about the house now. Don't sq mueh
as stir, mind you, I'm In a good hu
mor tonight or I'd hurt you long ago,
Time dragged with Ulngham while
the burglar pursued his March, He
heard him rummaging first In one
room and than In another, nnd it
seemed an age before he returned,
holding In his band a photograph
Ingham wondsrad what could ha
wrought a change In the man. The
lr of bravado that had characterised
his vry move was gone.
"I'm going to ask you a question or
two nnd I want you to answer ma
truthfully," said the burglar, earnestly
Ulngham nodded.
"Perhaps it doesn't concern me.'
continued tbe burglar, as he removed
the towel that checked Ulngham'
speech, "but I'd like you to tell me
who this Is." He turned the picture to
his captive.
"My wife." said Ulngham, simply.
It seemed to Ulngham that the Knee
on tbe burglar's face softened.
"Did you ever hear her chance to
sneak of Dick Prloe?" he asked. "A
trlond ot long ago?"
"Yes," said Ulngham, "often. They
wore to bo mnriied I believe. Price
stole some money sail ran away. Thsy
called him it worthless etir, nnd no one
was sorry when n report came that he
was dead.
The burglar nodded his hand. "I
know Prise,'' lis said. "He wns
worthless cur, tike myself. Hut I've
changed my mind about taking your
stuff. All I wont Is thls-the picture
to remember Dlek lrles by. nnd I want
you to promise never to tell ot my visit
hire tonight."
"1 premise," wss Ulngham's reply,
"I'm going now," said the burglar,
bending over Ulngham and releasing
his hands and feet. Itemember your
promise."
He trudged away and a moment la
ter Ulngham heard the front door open
and listened to tbe sound of footstep
till they dlsd away down Uie street.

Now and then thoro Is a degenornto
dog, just as there are degenorato men,
I oneo knew a dog of that kind. Ho
was a handsome fellow, a Seotoh colllo,
black, with whlto breast, nnd lower
forelegs and tip ot tall also white. Ills
father was n gentlemanly dog, nnd hU
mother wns also reputable. At an
early age this dog took to tilling
chickens, and would mouth nnd kill n
wholo brood ot downy chlokons In less
than a mlnuto from tho first alarmed
sareeah ot tho mother hen. A llttlo
later ho killed, as a dally reoreatlon,
ehlekens of all sorts nnd conditions.
Many nttompts woro mado to shoot
him, but ho seemed bullet-proof. Ho
would run Into the street, seise a horso
by the noso. nnd, swinging clear ot
the pavement, would hang thoro, while
the terrified horse would vainly try to
dislodge him. When n mnn on horse
back same along, ho would proceed to
have fun with him by solzlng his
home's tall. No whip could reach him,
nud whon the rider would dismount
the dog would brat n successful ro

neighborhood. When a peddler with
samples at potatoes or apples entered
the yard at his owner he would greet
him with a friendly wagging tall and
escort blm to tho door, but when the
same peddler turned his back to go
he never failed to take a bite at tho

Mini Ihi Willi Making n t.nt'rr,
Illustrating what a trifling Incident
can Influence a man's whole career, It
Ik told of Judge William IJndssy, who
Ik now t'nlted Htstes senator from
Kentucky, that when a young man
still in his teens he waa plowing In
his father's field, which waa near a
cross roads store where a dossn or
more men usually congregated. Young
Lindsay and the mule he waa working
to the plow did not "see" well, and
finally In trying to turn the mule
around nt tho far side of the Hold it
worse misunderstanding than usual
- "iirrod. The mule turned square
around nnd started back over the plow
right at Lindsay, who grabbed a piece
of fence rail and hit his big-eared serv
ant a terrific Jolt above the oyo. The
mule fell dead. Lindsay looked nt the
dead mule and then nt the crowd
across the field at the storo. Ho saw
the men had witnessed his killing of
tbe mule nnd he started nt full run to
the store. Whan he ronohed there, al
most out ot brenlh, he exclaimed:
"dentlemen. I hilled the mule, but t
did It In self'defeuse." "Ily Jingo,
Hill, you ought to be a lawyer," said
one of the men. "far anybody who can
think of a plea ot that sort on I'
spur of the moment would mako u
good one." That suggestion stuck In
young Lindsay's mind he did study
law. became chief Justice of Kentucky
and one of the greatest lawyers they
ever bad. In 118, when Lindsay, ns
senator, deserted his party on the sli
ver Issus, one ot his old friends who
knew of the mule Incident, and who
was angry at Lindsay for his course,
aald: "Say, boys, ain't It a pity that

Wear I n( lint Needlsnily,
Many people wear themselves out
needlessly; their eonselenee Is a ty
rant. An exaggerated sense ot duty
leads a person to anxious, ceaseless ac
tivity, to be constantly doing some
thing, over-punotual, never Idle a see
ond ot time, scorn to rest; such are In
unconscious nerve tension. They ssy
they have no time to rest, they havo so
mueh to do, not thinking they are
rapidly unfitting themselves for prob
ably what would have been their best
and greatest work In after years.
Veldt Is a Dutch word sometimes
spelled without the "t." It means an
unforestod or thinly forested tract ot
land, what cowboy would call n
"graas country." Tho higher traets,
entirely deatltnte ot timber, are sailed
tho high veldt; areas thinly covered
with sonib or bush aro called tho
bush-veldt. The great veldt ot tho
Transvaal Is the Hooks of the Draken
bcrg range, whoeo edge attains a
height at the summit named Mauch
of 8.7M feet.
Mafeklng. where Uaden-Pawsll Is
now fighting for life and llngllsh vic
tory, Is In the heart of a veldt "upon
whloh," writes a traveler, "there reals
tho allonce of horror; where there Is
alwnya the desolation of draught and
excessive heat." A brief season ot the
year come when this Is not sa; when
dry torrent beds fill nnd brief rains
Ml. Wild flowers blossom, the grasses
turn from brown to grwn, ths native
birds chirrup shrilly as thsy flutter
from bush to hush. Then ths veldt Is
n color picture, a plaque ot nature,
upon which the eye settles for net.
Ro brief are those periods, though, that
men forget them and remember hut
tbe terror of tbe parched veldt when
the aloud come no more, and the wind
Is scorching at midnight, or raw nnd
colt), nnd the mirage of water dsncrs
bnfors the crated eyes of the beasts.
There la a saying ot the Arabs that
"ths soil Is like fire snd the wind like
n flame." Thus It seems to tbe unwary
traveler caught upon tbe veldt with
out water nnd no hope but to fight for
llfo and gain the too distant ranges.

Only tho Hottentot boars their uttargs

"karroos," which means dry or arid.

Koveral days sgo, ssys the Philadel
phia Times, live or six snsrrows were
peaking awsy In tbs gutter Immediate
ly In front of an engine house when
a sat erept across tbe atreet nnd
pounced upon one of them. Instantly
the victim's companions tent up a war
cry, whleh was as Instabtly answered
Prom housetop and tree, the sparrows
flocked to the scene. With whirring,
hissing cries ot noisy rage, they fear
lesslj attacked the offender. For
about thirty seconds ths dated eat en
dured tbe blows from perhaps a bun
dred beaks and twlee aa many beating
wings. Then, still holding her prey,
she struggled way from the Infuriated
birds find ran Into the engine bouse.
The plusky little fellows followed her
Inside, but sood gave up the shase,
leaving her with her dearly bought
dinner, a sadder but a wiser sat.
