FRANK POOLE Roseburg Agent n Fountain at the Rexall Store STREET ROSEBURG FULLERTON RICHARDSON A DONATION Br OLIVER . LARNED You tli Ink you would make a good burglar, do jou never get cauvht and all tbat? I'd like to see yoa try 1L A ilk stocking like you would soon be taken. You wouldn't have tne coolnes to save yourself " MI wouldn't mind trying tt Jnitt once." "I'll give you an Inducement I'll bet you a bundred you won't go lino tbe bouse of some eminently respectable family whom you don't know, mind you and rob them of dome article." "Thut'u just the kind or a job I'd like j to try. The dun kit In It would make it fearfully lutertwtlng." ' "And If you got cnupht It would give you an excellent opportunity to Kbow your presence of mlud." "So It would. 1 think I'M go you. "Here's my check. We'll put tbe stakes In Hawkins' bands." This dialogue occurred between Dick Thurston and Ned Chatnberltn at a club, and the next night Cbamberiln in evening dress sallied forth to burgiur Ize a gentleman's dwelling. He walked slowly up un aristocratic avenue, and. selecting a bouse midway between two street lamps and standing well buck In snudow. be entered tbe yard ana. lut ing the parts of a burglar's jimmy from bis side pocket, begun to screw Me id together lu order to secure the length of handle required for leverage. Then. mounting a side porch, be pried up a i window and entered a room. He stood listening for awhile, but, bearing no sound, begun to explore. A faint light from without barely en abled him to move without stumbling against anything, und he got bis bund on a large uncovered table. Suspect ing' he was In a drawing room, he w:ia hunting for the sideboard, when there was a sudden burnt of light. A votnii: ludy stood ut the door of tbe run in, wltb her linger ou an electric button. She appeared astonished, not at find ing some one In the room, but some one In evening costume. Cbamberiln braced himself for the encounter. It was his right, under the provisions of the bet, to tell any story be pleased, and be decided to tell the true oue. "1 beg pnrdon for the trespnns," be said, "but 1 am sure tbat Is. if yuu are a woman of the world 1 shall have your sympathy after you have heard tbe reasou for my being here. Last night at the club I bet a friend a bundred do I In m thnt I would bur glarlze a dwelling, bringing biro some stolen article to prove the robbery If you will permit me to take away a spoon 1 will be happy to douute my winnings to any charity you uiay suggest." The girl by this time bad regained her composure, for Cbamberiln spoke softly and did not seem one to be afraid of. Nevertheless she consider ed him to be one of those villains who dress themselves like gentlemen for the purpose of aiding them to hood wink wboever they may meet She pretended to believe his story and, go Ing to u sideboard, opened a drawer and took out a sliver spoon with tbe family initial letter on it This Bhe tossed on the dining table and stood waiting for him to withdraw. He saw by tbe pallor on her face and other signs that she was badly frightened, and be felt a pang at having caused her an noynnce. So instead of going at once he stopped to reassure ber. Taking a card from, his pocket and a pencil, be asked her to what institution be should send a douatlon. She was not especially Interested In any and for a moment could not think of any. While she was trying to do so an elderly tentleman. wltb a gray mustache, step ped into the room. The girl turned paler still. If tbat were possible, fearlug that tbe story would not go down with tbe new comer and there would be trouble. "Uncle." she said, "this gentleman has made a bet tbat be would rob this house. " "Indeed r said tbe uncle quietly. "Yes, at tbe club. He la to win $1U0 and give It to any charity i may suggest" A hundred dollar! That's no price for a gentleman burglar to pay for the privilege of robbing a bouse. He might have got away with ST). 000 or $0,000 worth of property. Couldn't you make It $1,000, sirr Chnmberlln was very rich, but rich men don't like to part with their tnon ey any better tbau poor men. He said be might double the amount of bis winning. The gentleman stepped to a telephone In the ball aud called for a police station. Cbaoiberlin was cornered. Ele called out that be would make bis donation II.OlR). "I have called the notice." said tbe gentleman; "It will now rwt $'.1000. "IViie!" cried ihamtriln. frarlna thnt before he could asent th prt" nf his experiment would go up another thousand "AH right." remarkKl the gentleman. "Never mind the police Have you n blank check in your pocket lrf It n please make the amount payable to St I.nke" hospital."
