Comes Up For Disousslon.

When Mrs. Ilowser reached homo the
other afternoon after thrvo hours of
shopping a workman was picking up
his tool, and Mr. Bowser had a sat
lstled and complacent look ou his face.
When asked how long be had been
home aud why ho came he replied:
"I got here toon after you started
downtown. I came home to tnnke tho
house safe."
"But what Is the matter with the
house?"
"The matter is that it could have
been robin! by day and burglarised by
lii I-
a TBI DiUNBM HI PELL OVMt A CUAUL
night at any time lu tbo lust ten years,
and I can outy wonder that it hasn't
been done a dozen times over."
"But how could It have been?"
"During the day you ore upstair,
down cellar or downtown half the
time, and the cook Is In tho kitchen.
Any man c-uu unlock the frout door
and help himself. During the night
we sleep like two logs, and a wagon
could be backed up and our furniture
loaded in. I shiver when I think of
the risks we have run; but, thank
heaven, they are over with uow.w
"What have you been doing?" was
asked. '
"Making things safe for the future.
I have been wanting to do it for a year
past, but haven't had the time. It won
reading some criminal statistics thlt
forenoon that hurried me up. Mrs.
Bowser, do you know that WO bouses
were burglarized in Uila city In the last
year?"
"I bad no idea of it."
"And that only seventeen burglero
were sent to prison?"
"I never read those items."
"And that It was the fault of tho
householders themselves that there was
even one burglary?"
"How do you mean?"
"I mean that If n bonce Is left unde
fended like an old shed some one will
be tempted to enter. It Is our careless
ness that mokes burglars. We virtual
ly Invite them to rob us and then de
mand that they be sent to prison. If
we bad been murdered In our beds at
any time, the law should have held the
murderer almost blameless."
"And you have done something, have
you?" asked Mrs. Bowser as she looked
around.
"I have. I 'have put In a burglar
alarm this afternoon. It's a new thing
in alarms, and the Inventor wanted me
to try It and recommend It. I may buy
a share In the patent and go to manu
facturing. See that gong on the wall
of the hall? Touch door or window
after the bouse is shut and that gong
sounds like a fire alarm. The burglar
doesn't burgle with that thing ringing.
He takes a skate."
"Well, It may prove to be a good
thing."
- Felt That They Were 8afe.
"It may! Why, it can't help itself
I shall go to sleep tonight feeling that
we are perfectly safe, and, even bet
ter than that, we shan't be making
burglars of honest men and sending
them' to prison to end their days."
After dinner Mr. Bowser furnished
tome more statlRtlcs on burglars and
robberies. He showed ' that 24,324
houses in the United , States were
robbed last year in the daytime.
He showed that 32,6-15 were bur
glarized at night. " ;
He showed that 750,704 others would
have been burglarized but for alarms.
He showed that while 233 persons
were killed by burglnrs who got In,
80,000,000 escaped death by keeping
burglars out. .
He showed that burglar alarms had
a moral Influence on cats.
He showed that they brought hus
bands home at an early hour.
He showed that the cook ought to
work for $2 a month less In a house
bo defended.
' He showed that loss of sleep by wor
rying over possible burglaries cut short
the lives of 50,000 people every year
In the United States alone.
"And there's another thing," he said,
after finishing, off bis statistic. "J
have'lieuil trotihto, lis yoU Ihow."
"Oood lands, but I never heard of
Hint!" exclaimed Mrs. Dowser.
"LUven't I mentioned It to your
Of course not. When' did "yon'M
It out?"
t HM,,ntha mnil niAittha bata. If f hv
not snld anything It la because I dldnt
want to worry you. Suppose you
hhouUI dig your elbow Into uio at mid
ulKht and wuko me up to announce
that there wits a burglar lu the bouse."
"Yes." j
"J should, of course, spring out of
IhhI and grapple with hltn. 1 should
choke hi in into luseiiNtblllty and then
baud htm over to tltu police, llo
would be tried and sentenced, but
when all was over I should doubtless
coltapHo and go (lend. You see, In put
ting In this alarm I am preventing that
lamentable canualty."
It whs conthleutly expected that Mrs.
Bowser would nmko objoctlona aud re
fer to the Ore escapes Mr. Ilowser bad
at times Invested In, but she had uoth-
lug of the sort to say. lie purposely
gave bur several opportunities aud was
siirprlsoil witi-u she refused to take ad
vantage of them, tie finally decided
that she rcnlUed he bad struck a great
thing at IflKt, and he went to bed half
an hour ahead of the usual time to en
Joy tbo safe ami comfortable feeling of
security. He had slept for two hours
when lie got that dig of the elbow, and
Mrs. ilowser said to him as he sat up
In IhhI;
"Now, don't get excited and get your
heart to fluttering. The old gong Is
rltiRlus. n you bear, and that's a sign
that the boruuir hasn't got In. Yon
might go down and yell at him from
the front door and then turn the thing
off."
The Alarm Worked.
'Didn't I say aodldn't 1 say so?"
w!iIhtci1 Mr. ilowser as he pulled 00
his troiiM-tn. "We get the alarm In at
4 o'cIihK and a burglar arrives before
midnight aud U scared away by It.
Jbigo, but how tho old thing Is hump
IngherHolf!"
"Don't run any rlnks,"
"There will be none. The would be
burglar U half a mile away by this
time and running like a whitehead."
Ho went down and opened the front
door.
No burglur In sight,
ne took a look from the back win
dows. Nothing lu Might but tbo Bowser eat
trying to walk the clothesline.
The opening of the door had Increas
ed the ringing of the gong by one half.
The shutting of It did no good. Mr.
Bowser knew just where to turn the
ring off, but In the darkness he fell
over a chair, and In getting up be
knocked a vase over. This confused
htm, and he was groping around when
Mrs. Bowser called down: '
"Why, In mercy's name, don't you
turn that thing off? People are begin
ning to atop at flic gate."
"Let 'em stop. I'm not going to break
my neck In the durk."
Not being able to And a match In the
darknemi, Im mniie hut way to the door
again and opened It. Then that old
gong did IniNlness. It had only been
loafing nrmiml before. It rang and
buzzed and rattled and groaned and
grunted. It brought pedetttrlnn down
from one street ami up from another.
It woke the sleeping Inmutes of teu
hotiHPH, nnd It brought heads to win
dows and swear words from mild man
nered men. It brought a crowd up on
tho r.teps and a doxen demands to know
what was wrong.
"it's my durucdold burglar alnrmr
explained Mr. Bowser.
The crowd wouldn't believe It. There
were half n dozen who declared that
be was torturing somebody, and a
mi 11 1 1 hoy bad been promised a cent to
go for a polh eiuan when one arrived
and pushed his way Into the bull. Ills
Hint act was to light the gns. Ills sec
ond wan to seize the goug nud tear It
out by the rood anil throw It outdoors,
Then lie turned to Mr. Bowser and
said:
"I'll be around lifter you early In the
morning, old man, and If the judge
don't give you rIjc months for this
monkey business I'll ent my hut!" ;
Tho crowd was driven away aud the
door locked, nud Mr. Bowser climbed
the stairs,
"How ninny people escaped from be
ing murdered In their bed last year?"
asked Mrs. Bowser.
"Nothing from you, madam!" he re
plied. "I understand your little game.
We will telephone our respective law
yers In the morning, aud I'll fight the
alimony question clear to the supreme
court at Washington!" M. QUAD.
