The reformed burglar here uttered
somo very unrrformed profanity as
the picture of that night rose to mem
ory. "When I'd pot on me feet I heard
a pistol ro off In the house an' a yell
for help and knowed who dono it.
There was nothing for me to do but
liKht out. It seems that young man
was the obi party's husband. She'd
kept him short, of funds and he took
this chance to make pood. Now, did
ye ever hear a meaner Job playtd on

I'nd. r the system that then exlsfe.l
this method was entirely proper an I
it is claimed that postmasters derlvod
considerable Income from such sour

"a comp. tent repm ter will he employed

the reflection that lie had discharged

and power."
