Mine is one of a roivof doty bed houses with small gardens, and'fields both front and back. 1 .am comparatively new" to housekeeping, liaving lived-in chambers until my mar­ riage a few months ago. When we mi­ tered into residence wo wore so full of the delights of furnishing- that wo paid no particular attention to the details of window and door fastenings. Tire former liiul tb.oso littlo ordinary latches that are drawn across undor a clip and are known (in tho professipn). as tho “ burglar’s joy.” 'Thoir flimsy -ojiaractop excited no special emotion in oar Inex- ; poricnccd and ingenious minds. Wo supposed' that they wore.like other peo­ ple’s fastenings; tho same •builder had pWt up’ the entire Tbw of houses, nfl&d all 'vnu-e pcoupldd by tenants who,‘ if they had any fear of burglars,' iept-tjiose •tfcnijiu-s to thomsolves» The" back door hadrather,rickety b'olts, itstruck us; but, •Onthe otiier hand, the front door—the burglar's favorite entr'anco, as overy one knows—was massively barred, -chained ' and Rouble-locked; So wo possessed our .souls in a Aonse of security, and even joked abqul-the possibility of the mid­ night prowler nib-king a descent upon us. For a lipae wo.evon took our valua­ bles—including q, collection- of very su­ perior electroplate—up to our bedroom •every night. There was nothing like proper precaution, as my-wife sagely remarked. After awhile we got to let the cook take charge of tho “ silver.’’ This slio did satisfactorily enough until the continued absent*) of burglars lulled' her spirit into a staio of-happy obliv- iousness of tlie predatory tribe. Ru­ mors of housebreaking at a distanco oc­ casionally reacliM us, but tliey, affected its no more than do the obituary notices, of pooplo wc don’t know. A ll we did was*to talk vaguely.of gotting a dog. • ^ r This was the sleep; presently camb the ■awakening. One fatal Monday morn­ ing our marital slumbers wore disturbed at seven a. ui. -bv the cook rushing into our bedreufn, and with pallid cheeks, distended eyes and disheveled locks, crying: “Oh, m’m, there’s'boon robbers in the houso!” ^ln less- tiruo than that btref •pe­ riod popularly known as a ‘ ‘jiffy”- my wife and 1 reached the sceno nf tho catastiopbe. Never shall 1 -forget tho spectacle that met our gaze. The vil­ lain had apparently .onfined hiu ctopro- ;dationsto the kit chon, but there ho had wrought fearful havoc. All the' doors .of the cupboards, all tho drawers of the sideboards were wide opon, and such of their, contents qs had been loft were strewn upon the floor. On tho rug were fragments of cold rabbit, pie and cocoa- nut cake, apparently cast there out of pure superfluity of naughtiness. On tho table were the pie dlsli .and Cake plate, both empty. There ulsoBtood a glass and jug from which tho-rufllan, lgid evidently been drinking boor.. Hard by were some half-burned lucifgr raatrims and a few shreds of tobacco, showing that ho bad linished up com- forta'fiy 'with a smoko. Both- tho kitcl.cn windows and that of the scul­ lery were wide open—a fact which thrust itself upon our outer conscious­ ness, for tho morning was raw and danp and \yo wero thinly clad, . ■'Vlien wo liad’ recovered sufllciontly to take'note of o.ur actual losses, then indeed the iron entered our souls. Wed­ ding presents are not always asourco . of unqualified pleasure to oitheixdonbrs ■or recipionts. Tho former‘ frequently regard them as a littlo bettor than a tax levied by custom; tho latter" occasion-' ally feel that Aunt Jano-and Cousin Peter might havo done tho thing ratlior more handsotiioly while they,were about i t . But it is rastonishiug what, a won­ derful affictidn ono feels for wedding presents when they have boon stolen.. As we looked for thin.g ift and that, anu found them, not, tho merit tender , chords wore touched. I remember hav­ ing thought Uncle Hniflkln’s pair of plated snuffers rather a poor gift, for ho ' is something considerable in the city. But, noYvthat tho accustomed peg know them"no more, I saw" thoSo snuffers in a new-light. I thought how' undo had probably walked miles to got them—ho .was*greatly addicted to a second-hand shop in tho M.ilo End road—and a soft­ ened 'sadness stole .over me, and I longed to grasp his honest hand and . hint at his buying us another pair. My wife boro the trying ordeal of seeking and finding not bravely enough until she made one dreadful-discovery. Then she broke down, and,.flinging, herself on my breast, exclaimed through her tears: “0 dearest-, tho wretch has act­ ually helped himself to some of our _wr-e*(lding cake!” ■ •» Wo communicated immediately with utile police, vvho^ovinced the greatest in­ terest in the affair. Tho inspector called, so did* two sergeants, ho did tho constable who patrolled our boat in the day-time,, likewise tho officor who per­ formed a similar duty at night. Indeed, as our fame spread abroad, policemen of varying grades from outlying dis­ tricts paid us visits, looked at the prom­ ises, questioned tho gardener, shook their heads mysteriously - And then thankedm« ldhdiy, and said they would have a drop of whisky and a cigar, t think the force belonging to the entire neighborhood will always recall my. burglary with pleasurable emotions. Eventually my burglar was captured, and I had tho pleqsu.ro of a personal In­ terview with him. He was a-tbldr* •fit young follow with a not unpleasing air of melancholy about hitu. By-pro­ fession he was a shoe-maker—thnt'Va to say, lie professedtto follow that calling;, but tho pair .of boots bo made fm-his solicitor (who. represented-, hijn at tho trial) were' a misfit, and were actually being touched up at the moment ho was arrested.
