AN EXPERIMENT IN REALISM How the Jimmy i Supplemented the Pen. IY JULIEN JOSEPIISOW- MOM F 'm lmvo ever tried to p V wrl, n "'""'J' 1,1 wrl " 0 T o liiirKtni y forum n vital pin t 31 Jk of the plot, you will agree T0T that for this sort of work theoretically, at least-there Bhould lip no time no lilting iih tlie midnight lionr; no place no iirolllU: of aplnal shivering na n bare, dimly lit room In a rambling, deserted old house, where cold draughts, nnd eerie, unaccountable errukliigs conspire to add J list the right llnvor of Khostllncss to the situation. It was exactly upon tills theory that I rented such n room In such a house In n lonely unhurt) of 8au Francisco, nnd on n certnln hitter cold evening In December prepared to pass the lilKht there. My desire was to work up n vivid account of a burglary In nil Its fas cinating details depleting the entrance of the burglar, the feelings of the un fortunate. Individual whose lot It was to be the victim, nnd nil that sort of thing. Naturally, 1 spared no pains to ninke my environment ns suggestive as possible. On the labia nt which I Intended to sit while recording my Im pressions of the situation, I placed n loaded magazine' pistol. The blinds I liad drawn so closely that from the outside the room must have seemed to be In darkness. My only light was dark lantern, which I had bought that day from a benevolent-looking Hebrew patriarch, who recommended the lantern most highly. Ho evidently find mistaken my calling. I did not at once fed In the mood for writing. And so, ns there was a comfortable Arc goinr? In the old-fashioned grnte, I got out my pipe nnd Smoked until the midnight hour with II the weird, fantastic liungcs that It mils up In the Imagination was almost nt hand. At such n time nnd such n place, sterile, Indeed, were the Imagina tion Hint did not feel Itself aroused. 1 Was soon scratching nwny quite mer rily. I had been working thus for perhaps twenty minutes, and had just reached the point where the burglar Is duo to make his entry on the scene, when I fancied that I heard a faint scraping sound nt one of the windows. It startled me for the moment. Then 1 concluded that It was nothing, con gratulated myself on having brought my Imagination to such a responsive , pitch, and laughed at myself for hav ing been frightened by a monster of my own creation. I resumed my writing. Put I had not completed , a dozen lines when something occurred which was not down on my program. It was a repe tition this time unmistakably real of the sound which had startled me a few moments before. In a flash I shot the slide of my lantern to, picked up my revolver, nnd slipped quickly nnd noiselessly Into a closet. I pulled the closet door almost shut just leaving a sufficient opening to enable me to eee what was going on In the room Without myself being seen. I did not fcnve long to wait. The window nt Which I had first heard that faint, scraping sound was slowly, carefully shoved upward. The bllud was then cautiously thrust aside, and a masked face appeared In the opening. For a moment It glanced warily about the room. Then, apparently satisfied with what he saw, the prowler raised the bund and climbed In softly through the open window. This was realism With a vengeance. I shifted my feet silently, and took new grip on my revolver. For a moment I thought of sallying forth from my hiding place and giving battle to my nocturnal visitor. On second con sideration It seemed better for me to re- main -where I was and await develop ments. Then If the burglar did dis cover my hiding-place, I would have a decided advantage. While these speculations had been forming In my mind, the burglar had pulled an ugly-looking pistol from his pocket, examined It, and put it back. Then with the slide half closed he be an to flash his lantern about the room. Be was In truth a burglnr to satisfy fee' requirements of the most snn rulnary youth who ever reveled In a lime novel. He was short and squat If figure, shabbily dressed, nnd pos lessed of a gait which for pure burglar lousnfss far surpassed anything I have tver seen on the stage. He wore a lolled mufller about bis throat, for Ihe night was bitter cold. Now catch ing sight of my watch which, In my excitement. I hrfd left lying on the table he slid over to the table, picked up the watch, nnd after a moment's scrutiny he rhrust it into his pocket with a gtunt of satisfaction. He con tinued his search of the room, but could find nothing else worthy of his ' attention. Once he seemed to be look' I still behold my mother's fnre, Her iniiinR voire drifts down to tne Hut varant now her wuitiug place. W'lii ie file had always loved to be.

I bad c rather bnd minute JiiHt about this time, nnd felt greatly relieved when he went silently fror.l the room, leaving the door open behind him. For some minutes afterward I could hear him walking down the halls und through the lincnrpeted rooms of the old place. I was just beginning to hope that he would find his Investi gation so barren of results as to cause him to leave tho house In disgust, when his footsteps now sounded in the hall lending to my room, and an Instant Inter he was with me again. He looked about him; then walking over to my table, he picked up my unfinished man uscript, contemplated it a moment, nnd thrust It Into his coat pocket. Then going over to the coal box he scooped up n generous shovelful of coal and threw it upon Ihe fire, which had near ly gone out. After which ho calmly almost luxuriously drew my chair up to the lire, laid Ills pistol on the table within easy reach, nnd proceeded to rend my manuscript. He was clearly a most extraordinary burglar. At first tho unexpectedness of his singular actions dnssed me; then the boldness of them fairly took me ofT my feet. I watched my felonious friend narrowly, noting with pardon able pride that he semeed Interested in my story. Then a sudden wild Idea seized me. Why not enlist the aid of my degenerate guest In the noble cause of literature? Indeed, couK anything be more appropriate? Surely, I reas oned, It does not necessarily follow that no good can come from a burglnr. And this one seemed unusually Intelli gent. The moro I thought of the Idea the more It pleased nie, the more It took hold of me. Still I hesitated. The tiling was undeniably dangerous. To be sure, I had obtained my knowl edge of guns on a cattle ranch, and felt that I could shoot about as fast and as straight ns nine burglars out of ten. Hut what If this burglar hap pened to be tho tenth? I had just about come to the conclusion that I hat better lie low until my knight of the dark lantern had departed, when something occurred that suddenly changed my plans. As the burglar finished tho manuscript, lie yawned and laid it hack on the table with the muttered remark: "Nobody but n blamed Idiot would act like that burglar!" Those were unfortunate words for him. For no sooner hnd he delivered himself of this caustic and unmerited aspersion on my powers of character ization than I Rallied forth with blood in my usually tranquil eye. He reached as If for his pistol. "Cut It out quick!" I snapped, with as much In. clsiveness and determination as a mild and peaceable author could reasonably be expected to muster. Then I picked up his gun and plnccd It In my pocket after which I addressed myself again to my burglar. "Now, my good friend," I said, pleasantly, "seeing that you have expressed dissatisfaction at my conception of your calling, I shnll be Indeed grateful to you If you will give me some Idea of what a true burglar Is like. You will find my fountain pen an exceptionally smooth writer." The burglar regarded me for a mo ment with puzzled face. "I'm not a burglnr any more than you are!" he then said, with a short, snappy laugh. His statement almost made me drop my pistol. "But I never took my eyes off him. Then a sudden Idea occurred to me. "Take off youi mask!" I commanded. Off came the black cloth. One look at that thin, scarred face, with Its crooked mouth nnd restless, shifty blue eyes, convinced me that If ever a burglnr lived, here was a choice speci men. But I determined to humor him "That may be," I said. "At any rate, will you have the kindness to place on paper and perhaps hand down to a grateful generation of authors a true description of the most exciting bur glary you have ever committed?" He looked at me In apparent aston ishment. "Why," he replied, smiling broadly, "I'm a writer myself. I Just fixed up In these togs for a bluff. I'm oot for the same thing you are. I thought this old place was deserted That's why I came here. I'm an Am herst man," he said, with a tinge of pride that was either real or else ex ceedingly well done. "Class of ninety four." - But the farce had proceeded far enough. . "Will you kindly explain to me In what way you expect your literary experience to be enriched by purloin ing my watch?" I asked, politely, wish ing to bring matters to a head. For reply the burglar sprang at me. But I hnd seen his sharp eyes meas uring the distance between himself and my pistol-hand, nnd I was prepared. Springing bnek quickly, I avoided his grasp, nnd dealt lilm a chopping blow on the head with my heavy pistol. He went down like a log. I wns sincerely sorry Hint the nece slty for violence should have arisen and up to n certain point In our Inter view I had even hoped that I wai about to secure some lilts of realism Hint would be real contribution to the common literary fund. Hut as mat ters now stood, tliero seemed but one thing to do. So I bound the burglar hand nnd foot with some rather feeble- looking rope that I found In the closet where I bad been biding. Then going to the window, I blew shrilly upon the police whistle with which, In my siren. nous endeavor to nttaln the realistic atmosphere, I hnd previously equipped myself. Before many minutes a couple of blue-coats were on tho scene and a little later the patrol wagon was clat tering over the pavement wllh my burglar Inside. At that moment he probably did not know just what wns going on. No doubt. Jinwpvef, tho true situation occurred to him later. And now for the sequel-whlch con cerns Itself with the fate of the mnnu. script nnd of the burglar. The fatn of the mnnuserlpt, like that of the burglnr, was cruel. After many trips across the continent. It was fltinUy ac corded nn entire ptgeoii-hnlo In my desk, where It wilt probably rest to the end of my days. And the question of why an unavailable mnnuserlpt should bo preserved nnd given an entire plgeon-holo brings inn to the second part of my sequel. Shortly after the arrest of tho burglnr he was Identified ns one Nicholas Ware, a man wanted by the police In half a dozen cities. The nggregnte reward offered for his arrest amounted to. some two thousand dollars, nnd ns tho chief of police wns a man of small experience In such mat ters, we divided the money. All of which, I humbly submit. merely goes to show that the pen Is mightier than the Jimmy. The Ar gonaut. Ilrare Mini rape.

One night, after she bnd prepared her les sons for Hie next girl mid bad little thought of any ndvenliire It might bold In store for her, her father nsked, "Well, little woman, bow would you like to drive with mo to-morrow to l.oulsvllle?" Now, Idiulsvllle was thirty miles from Hie little Kentucky town In which they lived, nnd there was lit that time no railroad between the two places. The drive Wns one full of danger. Harsh knew, for the guerillas, a des perate band of plunderers nnd high waymen, who did so much harm (luring the war, were constantly waylaying travelers, robbing banks nnd Milling the little lawns. So when her father proposed the drive her feelings were n mixture of surprise, doubt and de light. Our llltle heroine was always ready for adventure; and having the greatest confidence In her father's abil ity to defend her. If necessary, she seized Hie chuiiee to go to Hie city with hint. She cared not to know his er rand, but fell Instinctively that It wns nn Important one, for he was a busy lawyer, a Judge and president of the bank of their town. So, unquestionably, Sarah prepared that night to start early the next morn ing. She noticed her mother wns unus ually busy sewing on Hie dress she wns to wear, ullhough she knew of no stitches necessary to be made on It. Yet she did not wonder, but with child ish confidence of the coming day's pleasure. You children who travel so frequently Hiese dsys, In which trains run everywhere nt all times, cannot appreciate the keen delight of a boy or girl forty years ago, whose trips from homo were red-leller duys. The next morning found Sarah up for nn early slurt. II was laic spring nnd the liny n glorious one. 'I he drive lay over the "Stale Pike," and led past grassy fields and woods full of great beech mill oak tries, whose tender green leaves were peeping forth. The country Is so exquisitely roaming that often at the lop of a gently sloping Iml high bill a great panorama of beauty lay before them. Along the roadside ran gray stone fences, iiiul now and then an only chipmunk would huh up from ii crevice between the stones ami, scurrying along, disappear ns If by magic. The noisy bluejays were dis cordantly crying In Hie treis, nnd the busy woodpeckers industriously ham mering, wlille from time to time n gor geous rcilblrd would fly by, mid all the birds sceiued Inspired by tho splen dor of the morning to sing their sweet est.

It still stands at Hie foot of Boston Hill, and Is n long, low, rambling structure, closely re- scmbllug the inns of old England. There excitement reigned. The stage coach stood at tho door, and its pas sengers were telling of nn attack made on them a few miles back by n hand of guerillas who had stolen their money, watches and the mail carried by the coach. Here Sarah's courage wavered. for she had heard so much of these (errlble men. But on her fiber's reas suring her Hint they would be too busy escaping nrter this robbery to moles) them, she was eager to start again. He must have felt great uneasiness, but bis dughter felt that her father was nil bravery nnd that nothing could harm her under his enre. And nothing dkt harm them, nllhnugh nlong the path through a big woods lay mail strewn by the escaping guerillas. 'ihey reached Louisville in safety. In spite of the fact that they were to be there but for the day, Surah's father took her to a hotel. On reaching their room, he gravely told her to take off her dress; nnd not being accustomed to questioning him, she wonderlnelv obeyed. Reaching out his hnnd for the dress nnd opening his knife, ho began to rip the skirt from Its lining; and to our little lady's astonished eyes ap peared bank note after bank note, mounting to thousands of dollars. Her motlier una carefully sewed them in her skirt the night before, that the money which her father hnd to take from his bank for deposit In the citv might be carried in safety from the guerillas. This was the end of nn adventure, but tho very beginning of a romance for that day Sarah met the young man whom in after years she married; nnd the long drive, which might verv easily have proved so disastrous to her. was In the end worth a good husband and many years of happiness.
