"In a houe I was looking over In a town up the State one nijrht," Kiid the retired bu-glar, "leameaeros- hoiiu thing that I never struck but that onee in all my experience, etranReieJ it may seem, and that was a lot of weldiii)? presettts, all just as they were arranpeJ for display. When I turned my lamp into the room I wished I had brought a horse and wagon; there was a good deal of it that wouldn't have been of any earthly use to me, but it Beetmnl a pity to leave any of it behind. But if I couldn't carry it all off I could have the fun of picking, aud I started to look the things over. They were ar ranged on tables and chairs aud on the floor around three sides of the room, j on the side opposite to the side I had oome in at, and on the sides to the right and left, running around those throe sides iu a sort of irregular order. On the side where I was there were a few chairs, I thought I'd start i:i on j the left and work around to the right, j and I started from the door and had gone about three steps when I went through the floor, as it seemed to ine, but what I had really done was to step down through an open register. I supiose soruelwdy must have dropped something down through it and have taken it out to get it and forgot to put it back. "There was a wire screen under the register over the pipe opening to keep things from dropping down the pipe, but it was very tine light wire, and it didn't stop me at all; I just slid down into the piK', pushing that along un der my feet. When I dropped into the pijie I had been facing to the left; in some way as I went I got skewed around so that when I got down as far as I did go I was facing to the front; that is, toward the center of the room. The pijie didn't go straight down, but with a curve. I had thrown up my hands as I went down, and I supp ose I might have gone plumb to the fur nace if I hadn't clutched at the edge of the register opening and hung on. A Minute U-fore I was going to take my pick of a roomful; now where was I? 'I had started across the room carry ing my t:l bag in one hand and my lamp i;t the other. Tiie shock when I went down had shaken the bug out of my hand, but I had held on to my lamp, though it was lying on lis side now with my fingers clutching through the handle. The falling of the tool bag and the striking of tiie lamp on the floor and the scraping of the wire gatise through the piie must have made altogether a good deal of noise, and I espected every minute to hear somelHidy moving alxiut upstairs and coming down to haul me out, but nv Uxly did come, and I set my lump up straight, and after I'd wailed a minute or two more I started to see if I could haul myself out. "As I lay in the pipe my head was U-low the level of the floor; by a great effort I could raise myself so that the upper half of my head was almve the ojx'nir.g, but no higher; there was no pxnii for play; when I got that high I found myself with my elliows close to my body and fairly wedged into the pipe; I couldn't get any higher. "I let myself down again, and after a while I pulled myself up again and held on by one hand and held up the lamp and swung it around on the things. Then I let myself down again and wondered what I was going to do. It wasn't only uncomforable there in the position I was in; it was mighty unpleasant every way. If I let go I didn't know but that I'd slide down against the furnace, and of course, I couldn't stand it for an indefinite length of time, and when I'd Ikx.:i in the pipe I should imagine aUut two hours I made up my mind that I wouldn't try to stand it any loiigi r; I'd got to come out some time, audi mitrht just as well come out then; in fact, Udter, for while my chances of getting away at ali were mighty small they would lie Letter at night than they would l in the daytime. "So I made up my mind to kick on the iije and wake up the house and have the thing settled. So I kicked on.-e, twice, and then I kiek-d again, and by snakes! I kicked the pije ojk-ii at my feet; there was a joint there, and I'd kicked it apart; and the sections I was in sagged down with my weight, and l slid out on the cellar fl Hr. The sagging down of that part of the jiijv detached it from the part a-Ktvcnnd it fell on the cellar floor along sid.; of me. That made noise enough to wake evcryliody up; there couldn't lie any doubt aliout that. "I went out by the sam? ivliar win dow t'.iat I went in by. It was the first and only such lot of stun" that I ever stru'-k, and I never got a thing of it; in f.ict, I added something : it my. self a set of tools at.d a dark l-intcrn." .V ir York Suit.

At the outbreak of the war he was a strapping New England Uy, with streugth and vitality which stood him well during his army life. After taking part in several engage ments, Colonel Cooke was shot in the head and left on the battlefield as dead. The Federals retreated from the field and the Confederates soon ocupied it. Colonel Cooke, who was then a private was aroused to consciousness by some one tugging at his Units. The Uols were very tine au l the pride of his Loyi.s!i heart, having U-en given to him by the dear ones at home. "A hit you dead, Yank?" asked the Confederate, as he ceased tugging to remove the boots from the feet of the wounded Uy. On U-ing assured that Cooke was not dead a compromise was effected. The Confederate brought the Union soldier some water and carried him to a Confederate surgeon. Iu return he secured the coveted Uxits. Cooke had a long convalesence, and finally recovered sufficiently to lw sent to Anders-iiiville Prison, where he sutl'ered, in addition to the privations of prison life, great pain from his wound. This sullering continued even after his release and his discharge from the army ut the close of the war. due day, long after war was over, Colonel Cooke, who had settled in Kansas, was seized with a violent snee.ing.
