if I did awake I oould fcijta sleep

" Thitolait of viHitora I reasoned
with ray so If, " do not peoetilly com-
oiit personal violence, if tbey can ac
complish theft aad make good there
eaeape without it."
Tiieso were my reflections every
night at I undressed aod threw my
sell od my bed, lea vino my caitle opeo
to the enemy. I had beeo asleep one

awakened by tho fulling of a small

man with bia back turned toward ma,
bis fueo lookioR over bia shoulder to
sea whether the noise bad awakened
me. Our ejret met, ao that my plan
to feign sleep would have beeo useleaa.
My self posi-efsnion did not however,
foretake me. What followed illus
trates the value of pretoce of mind.
Opposite, the side of my bed, sad
about eight ieet from it was the door
of my room, two or three feet from
which were the stairs leading to the
lower ball. Tbo burglar must have
used a Isddor Io ssoendiog tba roof
from which he entered the window.
It wss tome thirty feet from the
groood, aad isolated. My plan was,
oot only to esespe barm myself, but
to effect bis capture. I knew tbe po
liceman's beat, aod be would pass io a
short timi.

looked it tpno bim. Obvious of my
