By ALVAH MILTON KISS, Prindle, uui Jiuk repairer, * u rather sh-mler, but with highly developed . _ inusele* In Huger*, arm* rod sboujdam t £ £ and with nerr* ta fae* aujrthlng. Sev­ eral years of tabor with the pliers h«4 given film a finger grip which caused bis chums to avoid shaking bands with him, He could make an Insulator tie with a No. d iron wire with apparent ease. This remarkable power of con­ traction In tbs finger muscles once saved bl^tfram probable death. At the urn* of which I write a local company lu Layton had installed a tel­ ephone exchange. Several of their wires paralleled the telegraph wire# along the tracks and also those of the lighting and power company in the streets. The result was a had case o£ indi* lion, that mysterious transfer- ene , of electrical Impulse between wires where there Is no direct connec­ tion. go great was the influence of the telegraph and power wires on the wires of the'telephone company that the rattle and clicking of our Instru­ ments could he distinctly heard In the telephone receivers, hud the singing snari of the dynamos at the power house annoyed every one trying to use the phone. The manager angrily declared. that some enemy of his. company had thrown threadlike copper wires across from wire to wire, thus tangling up the currents. Prindle ’’went over” the. wires c'ate- fully twice and reported that he could find no “cross” of that sort. Still he kept studying and Inspecting the blat­ ter, because the telephone manager’s daughter was a very good friend of his. Emerging from the manager’s house one night near the hour of 12, He no­ ticed a dark figure, stealing down a side street. Touched with'suspicion, Prindle followed after the skulking form, the “malicious enemy” theory suddenly ullve in his mind. Presently the figure crossed a moon­ lit street and entered an alley leading between two business blocks. Through the alley ran the wires of both the tele­ phone and power companies, and Prin- die crept carefully forward through the shadows at the base of the build­ ings, keeping his eye on the man ahe. . of him. Suddenly and to the lineman’s astonishment the man began walking up one o£ the telephone poles. “ *Pon my soul,” gasped Ptindte. “if he hasn’t got spurs strapped oh his shoes! I guess Manager Towne must he right; some one’s tampering with the wires! I’ll nail the rogue when hf comes down.” With tingling nerve* he crept near­ er,,b«st to his amassment the climber end ctf * rape ladder ever the sffi of an oped window in the side of the budd­ ing some six feet away. The other end Of the ladder" be strapped to the pole, then carefully crept across the bridge thus formed and disappeared through the window, Prindle fetched a low-whistle and looked all arotind. “Whew!” he half whispered, “This is. interesting, and ho mistake! That chap haa gone Info a room above the bank! Most be he’s figuring on getting down into the vault room!” He stood in silence looking up nt the window artd listening. The elow, soft rasping of some sort of instrument came to his ears. Placing his hand on his hip pocket to see if the little pistol ’he carried wheu out late at night was there, ho slipped off hie Shoes and be­ gan climbing the pole. Slowly and carefully he drew himself .up until his land was on the strap of the ladder; hen be paused. The rasping noise (tad eased. “If that fellow hears me he will like- y come to the window and shoot foe in the face,” was Priudle’a thought. He hung perfectly motionless for a time, hearing nothing fonder than the strong heating of his heart. Then the rasping sound began again, Immediately the lineman drew him­ self higher. Then, taking the pistol In his baud, he crept warily across the rope bridge and In at the window. Letting himself dow*n on the floor, he stood still. The rasping sound came from a closet ot the back end of the room. “Ho Is sawing through the floor with the expectation of working his way through the brickwork covering the top of the bank vault,” was Prlndle’s mental comment. With pistol 1 b hand nt* began step­ ping craftily toward the closet, bat n board in tha floor creaked, and the maided noise of the saw suddenly ceased, The lineman held his breath, A ttilsty kind of darkness filled the room, the moon’s radiance being re­ flected dimly from the opposite wall of the alley. An instant later he saw the door of the closet pushed open and the outline of a human form rising- in the opening. To tlio burglar the dim and immova­ ble figure In tlvj middle of the room must have enou?#1 frightful. Had Prin* die net spoken It is possible the robber would have ff lien on his knees, think­ ing he was confronted by a spirit, bu t when he said quietly, though with a distinguishable iremor of excitement, “Throw up your hands, mister, or I’ll nre," a sudden fury of energy moved the man. He came across the room 1» ... ,Hft A infe $h§ ijiMNput frihi m »ttk a bud. dad tb* ; «M«* Itrttok the tvKfic ta* sxptoUwi i The burglar w w iJ S U d »*I Wrap. ; psarsd through an teM t finer leading j ttltw tb* prt*MI**W<r, , 1‘rlmifo hastily fsk about tbs floor I for ths rstoivar; i*t, U m weapon not j meeting Uhi hMd mt « m * be rushed I »ft*r foirgiar.

Apparently the robber had Iplanned to wrapt ta in* roof and slide f down « dmiu pipe ptto the dark alley \ at the rear.1 Prindle sitrang «g through the roof crossed tbt almost fiat roof toward tit* tear and caught him aa he reacittd the low parapet wall at tha roof* adge. The robber was af larger and heav­ ier mold than the finaman and was desperate. AL,thay grappled he tried to draw a km/ l*— his pocket, but /«awful fingers of •throat *nd tripped him backward. k#*y came down fo gather on tba pitch and gravel of the roof, but the rash mad fall threw Prin­ dle beyond his antagonist, tearing his hold loose, la awtber breath they were together Porta, fighting desper­ ately, ■ As they came striking and struggling Info the angle <f£ the parapet Prindle suddenly felt himself lifted bedHy,«u4 the next instant he was being .pressed over the wait Reeling btmself going, he sot his Huger* futo the biceps of tbc burglar’s left arm and pinioned hit right hand. In that awful moment he felt the cords of.Ms arms and lingers contract until they burned like hot wires. With a cry of agony the robber jerked him back fo the root, then whirled and ran across the roof, draw-” ing the knife aaEbe fled. Prindle saw the mopnUgbt gftet of the knife blade, and, though Infuriated with the passion of battle, he recoiled. The burglar turned in the angle of the wall, striv­ ing to regain breath before the next onset A power wire stretched across the toot some eight or nine feet above the floor. Prindle'drew a pair of rubber faced gloves from Ms pocket, drew them on and suddenly leaped up and caught the wire. As he descended tbc wire snapped and fell to the roof. In stoutly he caught up the two ends of 1’ and sprang at thwrobber, who met him with uplifted knife. The cracksman seemed fo divine tbc terrible nature of the tiny weapons, lu the lineman’s hatftls, for bis face blanched white. In the moonlight Prin­ dle looked equally pale, -if he could touch ths robber's flesh With the hare ends of the wires be would win; If not he would probably die- by the other’s knife. It was a strange duel, They feinted several times, then struck together. The clothing was sheared away from Prindle’s arm, but the burglar fell in a knotted, quivering heap, The point of one of the live wires had gone up his sleeve; the other had punctured bis neck. When the jHWfiat recovered his senses Pribctfo had him securely tied with detimh*<LMeee* of the wire and wa* at the f t v r parapet of the toot, footing Up *<rvLj««,'the street for an •hrodso®# f*vhi cults bna company - - ...N ’l ftfayd.

Icebergs, rose sheer from fathomless green water, their adjacent crevices' ard rocky distance alike lost in a vio­ let base. As tig way broadened the .sun played lower upon the mountains, and galls circled with a derating glim­ mer of wing as they darted from the f | shadow into the upper sunlight. Pur­ ple silhouettes of foe western moun­ tains lay upon the still sunny cliffs fo eastward, hue astern through the gate­ way of rock the inner fiord was al­ ready hidden under a veil of wind driven rain. Suddenly the sun burst forth, and such a wave of color en­ gulfed us as made it seem that we Were ourselves to and a part of the sunset, Then over the glorified world once mote came that strange twilight which is called night Between and beyond two peaks, the color of attiy* thysf, « vast snowy summit reared its head, and above its derating White­ ness hung a pale mccn, the symbol .of alt things cold.—Caroline Thurber in Century. > «in ip s ^oevai8HfAaag,u* mwaiw sue Ion* lean atid struck ***ln*f Prin- Walsh Jaw*!*.

In the hands of the setter the cylinder is put Into a lathe. With a moistened finger the jewel is picked up and placed Inside the cylinder as it rests on the tip of the revolting lathe shaft, With a pointed tool the setter presses against the revolving cylinder edge, forcing the soft metal to overlap and dose upon the sapphire or ruby till It is imbedded firmly id the metal cush­ ion.
