Why, it seems to me almost like bolding out an incentive to burglary.” “Ah, but precautions con be taken against burglary," said Tommy. “Well, of course they can,” replied tfca stranger, with a dubious shake of the heed, 'but I should not rely on them. No precan- tloo*. to my mind, con he suffleiept.” “Oh, ye*, they can, mid Tommy, very positively. “For instance, Sir Char Iss Noodle says that be defies a mouse to enter Dark- ling bourne at night without his knowledge.” “What precautions has ha taken, thenT asked the stronger. “Well, he has had electric bells put to every door and window to the house. Then* ore si! duly set at 10 o'clock each night, and after that not a door or shutter can be removed without on alarm being given.” “A very senMble device,” mid the stranger, approvingly, “and one which I should cer tainly adopt if l were au fortunate as to own a country seat." So far Um second stranger had Aken no port in the conversation. He hod, however, been listening to it with aome interest Now at lost be spoka. . “I remember,” he mid, smiling sligbUy at the recollection, "1 remember once, when I was stopping at a country house, an amusing practical joke being played by a clever young fellow, who was staying there, too.
