"Oh, nonsense.

I».-spite the energetic expostulations of Lis cousin .1 ack and his chum Tom, Pick could not be prevailed upon to ut ter another syllable. Ho stole around to the cellar door and secured it l'rora the outside. The windows to the coal bins were similarly secured, and then 1 >iek tiptoed into the house. Ho paused a minute to listen at the cellar door nnd then went upstairs for a book to read He intended to keep the boys In sus pense for half an hour or so and then liberate them. This, he thought, would übout equalize the Joke. FI" left the pistol on the table and •lowly ascended the stairs. As ht reached the top he was treated to a sec ond surprise. Hardly was his foot or the landing than he was grasped rude ly bv the throat and ordered to throw up his hands. The sudden attack threw him Into such a mental condition thai his new captor was obliged to tighter his hold upon his throat before Picli could gather sense enough to obey th< command. He was then unceremo nlously marched into his bedroom where the light was still burning. The newcomer pushed Pick onto th« bed and, with a command to him to lie still If he dtiln't wish to be Interfered with, proceeded to pull open the bu reau drawers. Scarcely was the man's back turned when Pick ran his hand under the pil low in search of his revolver. "Stop there! l.'p with your hands!" The sharp eyed housebreaker hat seen in the mirror the reflection o) Pick's motions nnd whirled upon him before he could complete the move ment. He was obliged to yield, and it was . with the deepest chagrin that he saw his pearl bandied weapon transferred to the burglar's pocket. He now lay quite Mill and surveyed the third of the night's intruders. This last one was quite genuine, nlthougti he did not come in the fashion of hla predecessors He was short, stout, dressed In a close fitting suit of dark material and carried a revolver and a bag lie wore no mask, but a black slouched hat. pulled down to meet his high coat collar, partially concealed his features. lie failed to discover anything of value in the bureau and, ordering Dick to net up. parsed Into another room. II ere the burulnr met with some sort of success, and knickknacks of all forts were hastily thrown Into the bag. Pick watehi-d the proceeding with uu availing rage. The burglar had the night before him, and unless the boys succeeded in breaking out and coming to his rescue nothing could prevent the house from being stripped from top to i bottom. Pick's previous predicament was as ; nothing to this one He formed a half dozen plans for springing across the room, falling violently on the burglar and holding him down with one hand while lie got possession of the revolvers | with the other, but somehow Just as ho was about to prepare for the spring the villain would look up and grin at Pick as if he understood the current of the hitter's thought? It was very tantalizing, but he had to stand it IK- still hoped for a chance to overthrow his antagonist and was careful not to throw that chance away by any foolish attempt. Having finished with the second tloor. the housebreaker demanded to be led to the china closet Pick complied, but all the time cudgeled his bruins for an idea. There was a revolver on the kitchen table, but how was he to get at it'/ lie carried the lamp in his hand, and his visitor followed him at arm's length with his bag and fire arm. As they reached the kitchen and pre pared to pass into the dining room Pick yawned, turned down the wick of the lamp a trille and held it out at arm's length. "What's thot for?" asked the bur glar, stopping and listening, as though he feared It might be a signal. He cocked lils head on one side and cust a glance behind him. As he did so » Pick slid his arm along tlie table be side him, and a triumphant grin told 1 I of his success. I "Eh? What's that for?" ejaculated the burglar, 112 row iiliik angrily and com ing nearer as Pick drew away. "The lnmp smoked," said Pick, ; thrusting the weapon into his pocket I | and turning up the wick. lie was ! waiting for the man to get his hands ' oil that pistol. > "Well, if that happens again I shall knock you down! P'you hear'/" 1 Oh, yes, Pick hoard, but he said nothing He pointed out the closet In the dining room and was ordered to take a Beat. "And mind you keep it." Pick heard that, but he did not re ply. lie waited patiently for his chance, which must come soon. The burgl-ir threw open the door, laid his pistol down on a shelf and bent down to pry open a drawer which from the -trong lock must contain soi: - thing of Importance He had suc ceed d in destroying the lock and had grabbed the drawer with both hands w hen a s 11u- lit noi- e behind him caught his . r 1 >ick h id drawn his revolver and, advancing quickly to within a few feet of the burglar, was now drawing a bead on his riclit eye. "Keep i ij-1 a you are,'' he admon ished him. "oi I'll speckle youi eye!" Still holding his revolver pointing straiuht at the head ol the surprised burglar, he r<-a< lied over and secured the pistol oil tile shell I'llen he Went through the burglar's pockets and re gained his own revolver When he had done so. Pick drew back and ordered his prisoner to stand up Ihe man hesitated, cast a Klance nt hp Iron ' limmj on the floor, but obeyed "What are you going to do with me?" he asked "Pon't let that bother you," answer ed Pick "You will be well taken eare; or very well, indeed!"

You'v.* got the pistol' lie grinned ferociously. •' lln lirst step you taki toward mo will he your last," said tho young guard ian of the premises quite coolly "I haven't much fear ol' a man who lota himself be taken with an empty revolv er." I ilelt had glanced at Tom's pistol and discovered that the chambers contain ed no cartridges. This explained why Tom had twirled it so carelessly about. "Stand baek or I lire!" he command ed. "Rot, yon young fool! Neither is my pistol loaded Why didn't you break when you had a chanceV" The burglar had arisen and was now moving, not hastily, hut as one who felt it worth while to take his tiiu« with an assured thine, toward Dick. "You are double the feel, then," cried | Pick, retreating for the moment, "for not snatching your last ehaiice. 1 have still the drop on you. for here Is my revolver, which 1 know contains fresh ■ cartridges. Back to your corner or I'll ! put a bullet through your shoulder!" As he spoke the first words Dick had pulled out Ills own pistol, which lie had recaptured from the burglar and which he now leveled at that worthy's breast. The latter, with a howl of hopeless rage, gave It up and, cursing himself for his slowness, s;ink for a moment in to a chair As In did so Hick got a second inspi ration For the last five or ten minutes i he had been feeling like the man who had eaptuicd an Indian he had him, but he did not dare to let go for fear the Indian would have him. Half smiling at his thought, he or dered the burglar to precede him into the kitchen. Here he halted for the moment. "I have determined to give you a chance to i scape it will be a bare chance, but that is not my affair. You will have to make the most ot it I con sider it safer to lock you up In the eel lar and go for help than to try to escort you alone to the police station, half a mile iiway. Pon't say a word or 1 shall think better of my promise. Now, then, walk chalk." The burglar, grasping eagerly at the hope of escape, did not utter another syllable, but went slowly down the stairs. But his foot had hardly touched the last step when hew«« furiously set upon by the two boys 1 >l. k hurriedly descended with the lamp .lust what he had expected had taken place Jack and Fom had mistaken the intruder for Pick and had floored him with the intention of keeping up fhe pleasantry of the early part of the 1 evening 1 ; But the burglar, although floorotf, was not disposed to take thing- at all quietly, and the situation u.is booom lug very nearly tragic when Pick in ti-rfercd loin was being crushed tin di r the burglar's knee, and Jack was doing his best to break the hitter's neck Both boys had found out their mistake and were not agreeably sur prised The young host hastened t«« poke his revolver under the rutlian's nose, and on the strength of this argument pence, j or at least quiet, was restored 1 lie offender Wa- then SCI Ulcly bound, and while |'um and .lack sat i guard'' over him Pick went in sear, h of an of ficer Returning h" Introduced to thai official the now thoroughly subdued housebreaker "You'll have to come around In tin morning and see the chief," said the officer, addressing the three young men It will be necessary to testify Please evamliie the man that you may Monti ty him." "All I've got to say." growled the | robber, with an ugly look, "Is that when I get clear ol this business I'll come ( back and do you " cry kind of you. I'm sure," said Pick. "Coodhy until tomorrow." '1 he officer and his charge having de parted. Pick, for the third time that night, made the house fast. This done, he led hi- cousin and friend to their : rooms. "Bod Is the countersign now, boys," ! said Jack, yawning, i "You're right. Jack," suid Pick, "but ; let me know llrst to whose bright In tellect I am to attribute the transcend ! ent idea of a burglarious visitation, I which you so admirably putin force"— "And which you so splendidly re ceived. It was Tom's, lie met me at the station on the way here and, after stating that you had professed a fear of burglars, proposed the racket. We rigged up and waited for a decent hour Ha, ha, ha!

And he did not But the boys rec ognized the burglar, which was more to the purpose, and when they re turned at a late hour from the court and had their dinner they were sleepy enough to make amends to the drowsy god foi the cold shoulder they had of fered him the night before. \ Stri'K In Olil Tolrdn.
