She Caught a Ilurglar.
An amusing story is told of an en
counter which recently took place be
tween Mrs. George Bittlemorgan, of
liberty, Va., and a burglar. Her hus
band had been called away during tho
evening and she was left in the house
alone with her two little children. Some
errand called her upstairs for a few min
utes, and while thero she fancied sho
beard a slight noise in the hall below,
bat, it ceasing in a moment, nothing
more was thought of it. When she re
turned to her sitting room, however, sho
soon noticed that the clock had stopped
running.
It was an old fashioned eight day piece
nearly nine feet high and very massive.
Mrs. Bittlemorgan, thinking it had run
down and needed winding, started to
ward it with the intention of getting n
going again, and had nearly reached it
when she saw a man about to dart out
of it. As he made tho movement, how
over, he brought the clock down on its
face and upon himself as well. In try-
Sto get out of the way he tripped and
over a rug.
Before he could scramble from under
its very considerable weight the qnick
witted lady seated herself ou the dock,
calling at the same time to the children
to run out of the house and scream for
help. This speedily came, and the man,
who confessed to having secreted himself
in the clock for the purpose of burglar
izing tho house, was carried to jail, and
Mrs. Bittlemorgan much complimented
en ber bravery and presence of mind.
