I had been enjoying myself per haps a trifle better than I had counted on in the company of several congenial friends In Alex, Campbell's, and when I let myself in some time before morning I felt that I could rest more advantage i ously In the spare, bedroom. I n . .dressed, climbed In, and a moment later -'-yrki' whistling a lyric through my ol j' ..factory organ. I don't know how long : X slept, but daylight was breaking when I suddenly awoke. My eyes were fixed tin? ihe foot of the bed In a drowsy sort ir,ot way when my attention was lnstant 'jvjy riveted by a movement on the part viiAS.. my nether garments that I had . thrown across the tailboard on retiring. j Without moving my body I dilated my eyes to their fullest extent and watched. Inch by inch, stealthily and slowly, the pantaloon wor being dragged over the footboard. Thoughts of the recent at ...tempt at burglary entered my head for , a moment, and then a light flashed upon me, I had been there before. Just1 as the waistband disappeared and the pan tatoons fell with a thud to the floor, I let go In awful tones, 'Drop that!' A . Shrink followed and my young daughter ated out of the room in her night- Kown as though she had been "hot from . a,. cannon. I chuckled myself Into good humpr and shortly afterwards went down to breakfast without saying a J WMd about the episode of the spare , room- Neither my wife nor daughter " ' spoke, except in monosyllables,' until I j JtVfoke the Ice by inquiring about the tfijreijni mm naa awaKenea me. Then the. cat was let out of the bag by my wife, and I laughed all the way down to; Third street until I discovered that .1 had scarcely'enough money left In my ; pocket to, pay for a cigar at Olsen's. And then I appreciated the point of ' the Joke." TUB SOCIETY MINERVA.
