LITTLE GIRL
'Continued from Page One.)
not In a droam and that there was
strange man in the loom endeavoring to
take from hr the locket and chain that
he had rerMvtd for Christmas And
prized to highly.
Frances fairly tore the chain from
heLeck ani3 handed It to the thug;.
On. go away go down stairs; that's
Where all the silver Ja," pleaded the 1H
tl sirt. "I've given you all I have."
But the man with the lantern kept
his seat on the frtrl's bed. Once he bnt
over as If he lutended W kiss her. -Th
child saw the man's face could see
that it was dark and dlrtv. She smelled
whiskey on his breath and his hands
were cold and clammy. Ths flrl re
mained perfectly still. -
Kor a second -thr tJUriftar ntdtatp4i
Then he passed his hands over the
cover, evidently t see that there was
iM.uwiy cm in im oea. let .ins iittis
tremblUiB irl did not scream for help.
-, , Bus-pens Is Awf nU '
'Oh, "would -the tnari nevr go," ths
firl thought. It seemed to her that he
bad teen there foe hours. She had
tjvurctiy moved lnc she was awnkehed
from Iwr sound ercep. The sugnena
was terrible, should sbs call for help?
Couldn't she awaken Arnold In some
way?' Should she jump up and runt
Was ther Tio way In the world- to get
away from this man? Would he never
s-o?
Theie were some of the thoughts that
flashed through her mind during the
time that the burglar was in the room.
And still his warning "If you scream,
I'll km you" was uppermost in her
brain.
But scream she would, in spite of
everything, she thought. And she had
almost made up her mind to do so it
waa her only means of escape. She was
there in a burglar's power a big, dark,
gruff fellow, nerved to crime with
liquor and some one must come to her
rescue. "A scream would warn her
parents," she thought, "even if he did
shoot her."
And then then the man arose from
the bed and began a further search of
the room.
He found a ring set with, an amethyst
in the bureau drawer, also a gold cross
and 4oekefc Th TnaiTTn The dark con
tinued his work, flashing his lantern
now and then. To the girl the flash'
lng of the light seemed a relief at
times and -then again seemed only a
a warning of the danger that confront
ed her. . , .
Finally the man groping In' the dark
started toward h bed again. . "Where
are' you?" he . whispered. V
Then there was a loud, cleaif scream
a scream filled with all the horror of
a frightened chiJJ. p '
Little Frances had taken' the chance
and she won. The burglar fled down
stairs and out into the darkness.
Mr. and Mrs. Henny, sleeping; In .an
adjoining room, were In their child's
room in an instant Their first thought
was that Frances had screamed during
a terrible dream or nightmare.
"It was a burglar but I'm safe," -she
said.
Telia Parents Story,
And then In a disconnected way the
girl told her parents the story of the
awful half hour she had spent. It
seemed an hour to her, she said. ' Tt
was nearly S o'clock In the morning; and
it was late in the day before the little
girl fully recovered from the suspense
and agony that she had undergone.
The man gained an entrance to the
Henny home by cutting out a panel of
glass and then turning the window
catch in the library. On the walls and
floor as he went through the house
he made chalk marks so that he could
follow his trail out when ready to take
bifdepajrture.
Before going upstairs to Frances5
room, the burglar took a pair of opera
glasses on which Mr. Henny's name is
engraved, also 25 cents from a toy
bank. There had been 7 S cents In the
bank several days before, but it had been
given -to the relief fund for the Italian
earthquake sufferer by the Henny
children. That and the Jewelry waa all
the burglar secured.
After daylight two rubber overshoes
were found outside the house. ' -
Today little Frances Henny is at the
Portland academy as . usual. "A half
hour with a hurarlar in a dark room is
my experience the other morning," she
tells her friends. And then she Bighs:
"I never thought X would live to tell
the tale."
,But she does, and furthermore, she
screamed and won and escaped, in
spite of the burglar's warning "If you
scream, I'll kill you."
