One glance at his gentle frankness, his serene respectability must have convinced you of that fact beyond peradventure. Moreover, he was my daughter's fiance, and no decent citizen, so far as I am aware, would suffer an avowed lawbreaker to remain in his household in that capacity. Maria's burglarphobia exhibited its first symptoms the night we moved into our new home. We were sleeping for the first time under its roof. Hardly had I dozed off when I felt the gentle impact of Maria's fist in my ribs and the soft gibilance of her whisper in my ear: “Get up, John. There's some one on our roof.” I raised my head and lis- tened attentively. “There's 'mo one there,” I announced definitely. Maria insisted there was; adding that there were two of them, and that one wore hob-nailed shoes. My query as to the size of the shoes met with no re- sponse. At last, to satisfy her, 1 arose and went to the little closet on the top floor which marks the en- trance to our scuttle. In one hand I carried a lamp; in the other an un- loaded revolver. Twice I called, “Who's there?” and twice was I an- swered only by the moaning of the wind as it swept along the chimney tops. I did not raise the scuttle lid; Time for that ir. the morning. law must be appeased by me, in case of the discovery of his identity at whatsoever expense. Secondly, my demonstrations of bravery m strictly passive and largely oratorical. I might command him to desist; leave the house under thréat of speedy apprehension; to abandon his plunder where he found it—but I must not leave my place. I was pot to touch the floor until he had full opportunity to clear the room. Lastly, my pistol must remain un- loaded—*'‘in case we get too excited, you know.” These details fixed, we set Thursday as the date, and prompt midnight as the hour of our adven- ture. Maria was very nervous that night. Three evenings before the Sanborn house in our street had been entered and its contents removed to parts un- known. That very morning we had learned of two other burglaries in our immediate vicinity. Eagerly Maria scanned the obituaries in the local journal; I fancy she was disappointed at the lack of funeral announcements. Before we finally retired she saw fit to recount all three affairs mosaically; and to remark dolefully that she-was sure our turn was coming soon. - “Nonsense,” said I, having left tis door unlatched. The town clock bell had completed its dozen peals, and we were lying t be 2! Wrecholderse: in France. Consul-General Robert P. Skinner, of Marseilles, France, has made an interesting report on the subject of \freeholders and real estate transac- tions in that country, in which he says that there are 8,000,000 free- holders in France, and outlines a sys- tem whereby French workingmen own their little country homes. Mr. Skinner says in part: : “There are upward of 8,000,000 separate freeholds in France, as com- pared with about 300,000 in Great Britain, a fact which in itself speaks volumes. A Frenchman will part with anything rather than land. When the United States Immigration Commission visited a certain spot near Marseilles recently it was found impossible to ascertain ‘the average price of Jand’ in that locality, because no transactions ever took place, other than by inheritance. In cities it is difficult for persons of modest means like workingmen, to own real estate, for obvious reasons. Nevertheless, and especially in Marseilles, where there is an excellent two-cent fare street car service, outlying property cosily in our places when there came a soft creaking on the hallway stairs, followed by the muffled tread of foot- steps outside of our door. “John,” Maria whispered, “did you hear that?” “What?” I asked, fearlessly. «Some one is at our door. Go out and shoot him. Oh-h-h!” The door opened softly and a circle of light was planted on the opposite wall. Our visitor made straight for the bureau and started to fill his pockets. I rose in my place. Impressively I demanded, “What are you doing there, r-r-rascal?” For answer he flashed the light into our faces. My own was unrufiled; smiling even. On Maria's I saw such a look of frozen terror that I was sore tempted to abandon our experiment then and there. It was only my promise to Clarence that impelled me to see it through. “See here, sonny,” said he, as he took my watch. “Get your thinking apparatus busy locating where you keep the decent things. This is junk. The stuff I got down in your dining room is enough to make anybody mad. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.” “Out of my house this instant, or, by Heaven, you perish where you stand! Begone, villain. Vanish! Vamoose!” “Vamoose” was Clarence's cue to depart. Instead of that he strode over to our bedside and dealt me a smart cuff on the ear. This was no part of the agreement, and I hastened to voice my remonstration. Theugh fully regaled with the details of my expedition Maria remained awake for at least four hours. She told me about it the next day. In the morning we found an old felt hat on our roof. Maria gloated. Our neighbor's son claimed it later in the day, saying he had dropped it on our roof while playing on his own some weeks previously. Our burglars next appeared on the front steps about 4 o'clock of a frosty winter's morning. From her trem- bling place under the blanket Maria could almost distinguish the words of their conversation; something I failed to accomplish, even though 1 stood for three whole minutes in the chilled vestibule with my ear at the front door keyhole. That we arose the neit morning to find ourselves alive, our silverware intact, and our doors securely bolted, Maria was in- clined to attribute to a renascence of the age of miracles. After thet we were besieged no less than three times a week; sometimes oftener.® “Maria,” said J, at last, “what is it about a burglar that you fear so abjectly? If one wants to get into our place he’ll get there, never fear. Whatever he takes will be replaced by the insurance people, anyway.” “And if he kills us where we lie 1 presume that will be liquidated by the insurance people as well—if either of us is here to collect it.” This in Maria's most sarcastic man- ner. “So it is bodily injury you fear? Why? Am 1 not here?” Our hero spoke these words with calm confi- dence and fine fearlessness. Under the circumstances Marie’s responsive gniff was hardly complimentary. Bluntly she inquired—if a burglar ‘saw fit to enter: our room with a loaded pistcl in his hand and a fero- cious scowl upon his face—what would I do? “I'd jump cut of bed and grappie him where he stood. 1’d put miy knee ‘on his neck and throttle him until he howled for mercy. I'd pummel him with all my might, and leave hm lying inert on the floor, while 1 went off to fetch an ambulance in which to remove his battered carcass —that is, of course, provided he was not inconsiderate encugh to take to his heels before 1 had time to com: plete my vengeance.” So that due modesty ht attend my vouchsafed the opinion that all bur- glars are cowards at heart. “Indeed!” said Maria. The sub- limated sarcasm and skepticism con- tained in that brief word determined me. My prospective son-in-law, Clar- ence Colburn, failed to evince instant enthusiasm over my pian, even though I offered urchase on hi behalf the real ti jn ti pe a mask, a ji1 y a lante fore he i fo carry out t I had a Ito him. 1] wa to pre eral wrath mig £ L “Not do what?” was the answer, grufiy given. “That is funny. Ha, ha! Keep quiet, you fossil, or ri run a rapid transit tunnel right through you.” A ball of fire flashed into my eyes and I felt the impact of cold steel on my forehead. ; “Spare us! Spare us!” came in muffled tremolo from under the blanket. “Give him that $100 you have under your pillow, John.” He did not wait for me to give it. He pushed my head aside and thrust his hand under the pillow. As the gleam of the lantern was turned aside for an instant I caught a glimpse of the pistol as it went by me. It was a tiny automatic revolver. And I had bought Clarence a horse pistol! “Give me your diamonds,” growled the intruder, “Quick, or 1 shoot.” My tongue clave to the roof of my mouth and my teeth rattled. As speedily as I could I withdrew my head under the coverlet and kept it there until the sound of retreating footsteps made known that the bur- glar had gone. It was Maria's voice that I heard as 1 emerged. Her tones, I confess, were slightly hysterical. “Grapple him, throttle him, pummel him; pummel him, throttle him, grapple him.” She said this over and over again. 1 did not stop long to listen. I jumped out of bed and made for the winddw. I called for help, and an answering whistle told me that my call had been heard. As I left the window I spied some one coming up on the run. I rushcd down the stairs and ran through the hallway. On the porch I ran into a policeman. There was another man with him-—held tightly. “Here's your burglar,” said the officer. “I got him as he was coming back. Said he came up to help you; claim, lin, | good nerve, eh?

These societies effect the transactions with the individual. Thus, the Societe des Habitations Salubres, 32 Rue Paradis, Marseilles, advances money for the construction of cottages at the rate of four and one-half per cent. As savings banks pay depositors two and three-fourth per cent., the margin is close. “These dealings are regulated by the law of April 12, 1906. Loans are limited to 9500 francs ($1833.50) in the city and to 7000francs ($1351) in the environs. At present seventy- five cottages have been constructed in Marseilles under this law, the occu- pants becoming owners, with a clear title, at the end of twenty years. Building plans have to be submitted to the architects of the society, and must conform to certain standard re- quirements as to light, ventilation and sanitary arrangements.” There are also at work on some- 11 doubt that I would have grap- | him, throttled him and pum- | i Cold type does not re- | In Paris dogs are treated as well as | They wear auto- to when they go motoring, | wave a hospital, and they even with wreaths, — | what parallelel lines several French building and loan associations, which differ from American associations in that they usually operate over more or less the whole of France, as do the great French banks.

While depositors in these building associations are permitted to build according to their own plans, they are decidedly encouragea to adont standard designs, of which there are many suited to all purses. It is really surprising to discover what comforta- ble little houses can be erected in this country for a very small amount, sometimes $200 and $300.

A Trade Which Keeps Two Young "Girls in Pocket Moncey. “We make our own allowance rais- ing soda water straws,” said a young girl who came to New York the other day on a shopping trip. “Five years ago we moved to the country and father planted a rye patch for the chickens. The next summer, when the grain began to ripen, my sister and I, who were small girls, used to play hide and seek in the rye patch. Then we began to pick some of the longest straws and make *suckers.” I don’t know just how long this was going on when mother took us into town with her one day and we went to a drug store and had some soda. “Jt was the first soda water my sis- ter and I had ever tasted, and we no- ticed that the straws were just like- the ‘suckers’ we had been making for our own use. One of us called moth- er’s attention to thie fact,” and she very promptly recognized the oppor- tunity for turning our play into a money making business. She sent for the head of that department of the store and learned that there was a demand for good straws at $1.25 a thousand, done up in little bundles containing .100 straws each. : “The next day father cut an armful of straw and brought it to us on the back ‘ piazza. Then under mother’s direction we cut our first soda water straws for the trade. That year and the next mother worked with us, but for the last three years sister and I have been doing it all alone and every cent we make is our own. ~ “For_us there is no outlay besides our own work. Father plants the rye each year for the chickens and cows, and gives us as many straws as we can clean and bundle. So far as our experience goes, that is the only limit to the market. “To make the best soda water straws tlie rye should be cut a little under-ripe and left loose, not tied in bundles. When allowed to dry in the field the straws will split and are worthless. The heads of the rye are cut off so there is no waste of the grain. Only about two joints of each straw can be used, as the first two are generally spoiled by cutting and the last one, the one next the grain head, is much too small. The "first step after getting the straw in the work room is to clip out the joints with the scissors, peel off the outer covering; then grade them as to size and length and make into small bundles of 100 each. “The longest straws we turn out are fourteen inches, while the short- est are seven. The straws should always be clipped with sharp scissors obliquely, because if cut straight across they are graded as machine cut, and do not bring such a good price. Another important matter is that each bundle should contain straws as nearly the same size as it is possible to get them and they should be exactly the same length. “When we first began the work our season was very short, because the straw ripened so quickly. Now that we have learned how to keep the straw in condition by housing it in a cool and not too damp cellar the sea- son is more than twice as long, and we make about five times as much money. Our customers are always willing to buy more straws than we have, and I have understood from them that the wholesale dealers were eager to buy at any season of the vear. During the szason, which now includes nearly our entire school va- cation, my sister and I earn $5 a week apiece working about five hours a day.”—New York Sun. Landseer’s Faithful William. Sir Edwin Landseer, the famous animal painter, had an old servant— his butler, valet and faithful slave — named William, who was particu- larly assiduous in guarding the outer portal; no one could by any possibil- ity gain direct access to Sir Edwin. The answer would invariably be, “Sir Hedwin in not at 'ome.” The prince consort himself once received this answer when he called, amplified on that occasion by the assurance that ‘he had gone to a wedding,” an entire fiction on William’s part, as the prince found out, for on walkin boldly in and around the garden hg noticed Sir Edwin looking out of his studio window.

New Story cf Belzac. This story, said to be new, of Bel- zac, is related by a French contem- porary. A burglar gained admission to Belzac's house and was soon at work, by the light of the moon, at the lock of the secretaire in the nov- elist’s chamber. Belzac was asleep, but the intruder aroused him. A strident laugh arrested the burglar’s operations and he beheld by the moonlight the novelist sitting up in bed, his sides shaking with laughter. “What is it that makes you so mer- ry?’’ demanded the burglar. *“T laugh,” replied the author of ‘Pere Goriot,” ‘‘to think that you should come in the night without a lantern to search my secretaire for money, when I can never find any there in broad daylight.” Tropics Lack Railways.
