When he ■ at work In a room he usually locks the door on the inside, or if there is no lock he simply props a chair with its back hard under the door handle, thus making it quite im possible for any one to come in upon him unexpectedly. Sometimes his ordinary precautions fail. and. he is driven to take others oh the spur of the moment.' These are of ten of the most extraordinary charac ter and may end in doing serious dam age to life and property. . An instance in point occurred not long ago at Hopwood, near Redditch. A tradesman’s wife was aione in the house at night when she was aroused by a creaking sound. Opening her eyes, she saw a rough looking man in the room. Evidently, tie knew his way about, for he tiptoed to a chest .of drawers and took out a small cash-box which held a sum of about $75; With great presence of mind the lady re frained from screaming. She waited until the man was out of the room, then sprang up and hastily put on a dressing gown. - Then she ran out. but on gaining the . top of the stairs was met by a blaze of flame. The thief; who had evident ly heard her get out of bed. had snatch ed up a pile of newspapers in the pas sage below and. heaping them on the ' stairs, set fire to them. It wks impossible to pass the barrier of fire, and. though fortunately help came in time, to put the flames out. thé burglar got clean away. ■Even more canning was the ruse of a thief who raided a house on Woburn street London. The tenant hearing a noise outside his bedroom door, jump- 1 ed up and discovered'-that his watch and chain were missing. Without wait- I ing to put on a lippers, he bolted down stairs and was just in time, to see the thief rush out of the front door. He gave chase. The thief glanced around, -saw that his .pursuer was Jjareiootfifi H. R. SLAVENS '' SWEET HOME, ORE. Phone 3x6 i? '■l„ " and, taking a "bottle from his pocket, flung it forcibly down upon the pave ment in front of the other. The householder naturally pulled up short just in time to save his feet, while the burglar, turning sharply down a side alley, disappeared from view, The latter case calls to mind one which happened in Devonport or, rath- er, in Stoke. which is the residential suburb of that town, A naval officer was- aroused about 3 a. m. on a winter morning by. hearing a slight clatter downstairs. He picked up a sword and went down and located the sound as having come from the dining room. There was a good deal- of silyer there, and he at once made up his: mind that burglars were after it He tried the door, but found it fastened from the inside; so went out of the front door and rushed around tó thé window. But the thieves had foreseen this maneuver, As he reached it one of: them flung a handful of pepper into his' face, and as. he reeled back, -choked and half .blinded, they both jumped out and took-to their heels. One of ’the smartest tricks ever play ed by a burglar was in a house in the suburbs of Worcester. The- man- broke in at night and. after packing up some, silver below, ventured upstairs to see. what he could find. Thè master of the house spotted him and called'his son. They located Mr. Sykes in a first floor front room. H-is shadow Was plainly visible on the blind, outlined Apparently by a' candle or lantern. The father kept watch outside, in the front, while the son went for a police man. When he returned with .thè of ficer the-shadow, was still plainly' visi ble. But when they went up and en tered the room, behold there was noth-, ing but an effigy made with pillows' and a suit of clothes! The intruder, seeing, that he had been discovered, had rapidly constructed this to personate himself and had then cleared off by means of a rope hanging .from a back bedroom window.—Pear son’s Weekly.
