Do you come nearer '.he Ought-to-be In the wagon you hitched to a dista star? Or do you drift on hopelessly, Content to bide with the Tiiings-thi are? Are you a Drone or a Do-it-now?

A Come-on-lads or a Let's-not-go? A Yes-I-will or an Oh-l'll-see? It isn't the least concern of mine, I know that well, but as time endures, When they thresh the wheat and store t wine, You'll tind it's a big concern of yours. ?J. W.

I raised my head and li tened attentively. "There's no 01 there," I announced definitely. Mar insisted there was: adding that thei were two of them, and that one woi hob-nailed shoes. My query as to tl size of the shoes met with no r sponse. At last, to satisfy her, arose and went to the little closet c the top floor which marks the e; trance to our scuttle. In one hand carried a lamp; in the other an u: loaded revolver. Twice I calle "Who's there?" and twice was I a swered only by the moaning of tl wind as it swept along the chimn< tops. I did not raise the scuttle lit Time for that in the mornin Though fully regaled with the detai of my expedition Maria remains awake for at least four hours. SI told me about it the next day. In the morning we found an o' felt hat on our roof. Maria gloate Our neighbor's son claimed it lat< in the day, saying he had dropped on our roof while playing on his ow some weeks previously. Our burglars next appeared on tt front steps about 4 o'clock of a frosl - winter's morning.

"And If he kills us where we 1 I presume that will be liquidated I the insurance people as well? . either of us is here to collect it This in Maria's most sarcastic ma ner.

" T1* /latnilc yOU KIIUW. i neat; IIAUU, set Thursday as the dale, and prom a midnight as the hour of our adventure. Maria was very nervous that night. Hu Three evenings before tne sanuorn house in our street had been entered and its contents removed to parts unknown. That very morning wo had learned of two other burglaries in our immediate vicinity. Eagerly Maria scanned the obituaries in the local journal; I fancy she was disappointed at the lack of funeral announcements. Before we finally retired she saw fit to recount all three affairs mosaically. and to remark dolefully that she was nd sure our turn was coming soon. re ' Nonsense." said I, having left the door unlatched. The town clock bell had completed its dozeu peals, and we were lying cosily in our places when there came a soft creaking on the hallway stairs, followed by the muffled tread of footsteps outside of our door. he "John," Maria whispered, " uia yuu hear that?" "What?" I asked, fearlesslj'. "Some one is at our door. Go out * r.nd shoot him. Oli-li-h!" The door * i opened softly and a. circle of light * was planted on the opposite wall. * Our visitor made straight for the * bureau and started to fill his pockets. * I rose in my place. Impressively I ^ demanded, "What are you doing there, r-r-raseal?" For answer he flashed the light into * our faces. My own was unruffled; * smiling even. On Maria's I saw such e- a look of frozen terror that I was sore it. tempted to abandon our experiment as then and there. It was only my ce promise to Clarence that impelled me ie to see it through. id "See here, sonny," said he, as he e. took my watch. "Get your thinking 's apparatus busy locating where you ir keep the decent things. This is junk, in The stuff I got down in your dining is room Is enough to make anybody mad. You ought to be ashamed of ts yourself." ;d "Out of my house this instant, or, by Heaven, you perish where you ie stand! Begone, villain. Vanish! jd Vamoose!" of "Vamoose" was Clarence's cue to ft ! depart. Instead of that he strode r; over to our bedside and dealt me a >n smart cuff on the ear. This was no s- part of the agreement, and I hastened ie to voice my rcmonstration. ia "Not do what?" was the answer, re gruffly given. "That is funny. Ha, re ha! Keep quiet, you fossil, or I'll ie run a rapid transit tunnel right e- through you." A ball of fire flashed I into ray eyes and I felt the impact of >n cold steel on my forehead, a- "Spare us! Spare us!" came iu I muffled tremolo from under the n- blanket. "Give him that 5100 you d, have under your pillow, John." q- He did not wait for me to give it. !e He pushed my head aside and thrust ;y his hand under the pillow. As the 1; gleam of the lantern was turned aside e. for an instant I caught a glimpse of Is I the pistol as it went by me. It was !(i j a tiny automatic revolver. And I had le ! bought Clarence a horse pistol! I "Give me your diamonds," growled Id ! the intruder, "Quick, or I shoot." My tongue clave to the roof of my Jr mouth and my teeth rattled. As it speedily as I could I withdrew my -n head under the coverlet and kept it there until the sound of retreating ie footsteps made known that the bur y glar had gone. a_ It was Maria's voice that I heard as ia I emerged. Her tones, I confess, were js slightly hysterical. "Grapple him, I throttle him, pummel him:' pummel I him, throttle him. grapple him." She ie said this over and over again, ie I did not stop long to listen. I 5e jumped out of bed and made for the es window. I called for help, and an Jr answering whistle told me that my q. call had bsen heard. As I left the window I spied some one coming up e on the run. I rushed down the stairs ;e and ran through the hallway. On the porch I ran into a policeman. There jt was another man with him?held 30 tightly. t0 "Here's your burglar," said the r officer. "I got him as he was coming ;(j back. Said he came up to help you; good nerve, eh? His partner wasn't \q quite so cool about it; I saw him run)V ning away with a bag.

News received from Dr. David Ranj cln.ll Maclver's archaeological expedlj lion to Egypt has thrown scientific j circles at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, into a flutter of ! excitement, for the director of the expedition, in the report just received, announces discoveries hardly less important than those which he made at ! Anibeh early in January. , While in the north of Egypt, early In February, Dr. Maclver discovered ! several Christian churches of a date I within two or three centuries after the death of Christ. These ancient sanctuaries of the earliest adherents of the then despised Christian sect were carefully cleared of the heaps nf desert sand which have covered lliem during the lapse of centuries. I The members of the expedition then j made careful maps and photographs ; of the shrines. It is thought at the J university that wheu these maps and I pictures are published much will be added to the little am'ount of knowledge antiquarians possess regarding the churches and the modes of worship of the earliest Christians outside of the city of Rome. As a rival to the famous Cleopatra vass discovered at Anibeh, which is now carefully boxed up in Cairo, awaiting shipment to the university museum, Dr. Maclver discovered, in a little known locality near the second cataract of the Nile, a number of marvellously carved capitals of columns and a cornice sculptured with the heads of the Royal Draeus. This snake was the emblem of the ancient Egyptian monarchy. The columns i and tbe cornice are similar iu wo sculptures of Philae, and are of the same period, but are said to be in perfect condition. Dr. Maclver believes that these newly discovered pieces of architecture represent the finest works of their class in existence, and for beauty of design and execution he says they rival some of the work on some of the most famous of the Grecian temples. Dr. Maclver left Anibeh, the scene of his earlier discoveries, on January 15, leaving half of his party there to continue the excavations in charge of his assistant, Dr. Wooley. After making a careful study of the Middle Empire forts and towns of Mirgeshich and Behn, near Wady Haifa, the party began working northward. Owing to the great success of the expedition, Dr. Maclver may stay in Egypt longer tiian was at nrst expected. in ni3 latest report he expressed doubt as lo whether he will bring hi3 expedition home before the early part of next year. ASLEEP UNDER WATER. One of the Funny Incidents Possible in a Diver's Life. As showing how much at home a man may be to-day under water, I may relate an amusing story. Some months ago, while the great battleship Dreadnought was at Malta, one of the seamen divers went down to clear her propeller from some flotsam that had become entagled, and he failed to come up. It chanced that the rest of the battleship's divers were ashore, and grave concern was felt on the ironclad for the missing worker. Signals by telephone anri lifeline were sent below, without avail. In the launch above the throb, throb of the air pump's cylinders went on, but the attendants looked at one another, in dismay, fearing some strange tragedy deep down in those heaving green seas. The worst was feared when some big brushes and other tools came floating to the surface, and thereupon the navigating lieutenant sent ashore an urgent message for one of the other divers. The man came on board, dressed immediately, and went i??low, only to come up full of indig! nation. J "Why, that fellow's been asleep all , this timef" he said, wrathfully. It i was true. The man had just had liis lunch, and finding the work much less serious than he had thought, he finished it in a few minutes and then sat comfortably ou one of the giant blades of the Dreadnought's propeller and went to sleep, with inquisitive fishes swarming around him, attracted by the dazzling searchlight on his breast!
