Romance of a 1
Back Yard
By DWIGHI NORWOOD
One morning, going to my window,
which is In the rear of the house ami
looks out on the back windows ?>i
houses on another street, I saw u tiny
white handkerchief pinned to the window
sill. The same afternoon, going
to my room, I was about to open the
blinds when 1 saw through the slat * a
pretty girl kiss her hand to some one
in the house adjoining my domicile.
She at once disappeared, but it was
evident that a flirtation, perhaps one
til at liad developed Into an affair of
marriage notices in my morning paper,
I saw that Miss Emma A. of 73 Kim
street had been married.
I never learned what had occurred
flie night of the "robbery," but I formed
this theory: In trying to get out on to
Elm street the couple, or, at least, the
lovers, had been detected, supposed
to be burglars and shot at The police
entered, but were told there had
j been an attempted robbery.
UJU 1IU?II I, U as ill pil'Jpll'SN I
After this 1 saw many a signal in t
tlie window opposite which I would j
probably not hu\e recognized as sin li j
had 1 not seen the throwing of the {
kiss. My next door neighbor, of course, (
1 could not see, but I had notice.1 a (
good looking young man going and coin- ^
ing, and 1 presumed that he was !lie
fortunate possessor of the young lady's
favor.
I was one afternoon sitting at my
window, with the blinds closed, when j
through a crack between the slais 1
saw n pantomime lietween the lovers. j
The girl looked down Into her hack
yard and shook her head. After she ^
had left her window I looked down t
Into his back yard myself. It whs inclosed
in a high brick wall topped j
with broken glass. I was not long In ^
deciphering the pantomime. The eirl (
had put n veto on her lover's under- j
taking to effect an entrance to tier
premises over the wall.
About a week after this 1 saw a ne- t
gro bring a barrel into the back yard
through a rear huseinent door. lie ^
set It down very carefully and turned
to go away. lie hud taken but a few j
steps when he turned, went back to
the barrel and busied himself examining
tlie head, which 1 could sec was
not fastened in the usual way. While ^
lie was doing this ids lips uio\cd.
Moreover, I saw something passed t
from the barrel to his hand. Present- t
ly he went away again and this time f
disappeared through the basement t
door.
I was reading u love story without rj
words, or, rather, was seeing one en- c
acted, not on the stage, but In real life. ^
It struck mo that something would occur
In the premises on the other side ;1
of the wall. Should 1 be mean enough (to
spy with a view to satisfying my j
curiosity? Would It be mean to enjoy
what I could of a drama in real life?
The barrel was deposited shortly before
my dinner hour, which was 0
o'clock. After dinner bad
fnllejft. Without turning (uxy^iiihts
1 took a seat at the window". The
space between my home and tlie
houses in the rear of It was dimly visible
from the lights of the houses
shining upon it. I could barely discern
the barrel standing where it had been
placed. Not caring to reveal myself by
lighting my room, I concluded to while
I away the time In tlie darkness by
| smoking. 1 liad consumed half a dozen
cigarettes and was thinking that If
j there was any one in the barrel lie
' must, be pretty well cramped when
I something rose out of Its top end.
| There was a pause; then something | ,
j larger followed. Curiosity sharpened j j
: my eyes. and I sow n bulk that looked ,
1 like n man's figure get out of t lie barrel,
rake It up and proceed with it to a cornor
in the wall, where he was hidden
from 1110. I fancied lie was using the
barrel for concealment from the opposite*
direction.
"That's the last of him for me." 1
remarked, "till the lights are put out." ,
Nevertheless 1 was too interested to
leave my post. I smoked till I fell
asleep. When I awoke It was 11
o'clock, and there was but one light In
the house visible to me, and that was
In the room of the heroine of my story. '
As I looked it was tunu.l off.
I was now thoroughly awake and beI
lieved that i had no great time to wait
I to see something more. 1 was right.
| Not long after the last, light was turned
j off I saw the space occupied by the
j basement door of the house I was
watching grow darker, indicating that
1 the door was being opened. Then
something stood In the opening. A dark
spot flitted from the wall to the door,
entered and the door closed.
1 regretted that the elopement?for
such I believed it to Ik??could not
have boon effected over the rear wall, |
where I could have seen it. They would I
go out the front basement door.
I went to bed and had just fallen |
asleep when I heard the crack of a .
pistol. Kitting, I looked through the !
window at the ImiiM. of my story. Tito j
basement and the two upper floors were j
lighted. I saw figures passing before I
the windows, but beard nothing. Aft- !
ei* awhile the lights began to he turned j
oif. and in time all was again dark.
The next morning I saw in my news- j
paper an account of an attempted robbery
of premises 7" lOlui street. Tin? !
police were culled in, but the robber !
had escaped?nobody hurt, nothing
lost. Kim was the street back of my
home. After breakfast I walked around
the block to note the number of the
house. It was 711.
A few days later, while scanning the I

Calomel Dynamites
A Sluggish Liver
e
a Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You
i Sick and You Lose a Day's
Work.
Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slugJ
gish liver. When calomel comes into
f contact with sour bile it crashes into
a it, causing cramping and nausea.
e If you feel bilious, headachy, con11
stipated and all knocked out, just go
n to your druggist and get a 60 cent .
^ bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, yhich
a is a harmless vegetable substitute for
? dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
f and if it doesn't start your liver and
' straighten you up better and quicker
0 than nasty calomel and without makn
ing you sick, you just go back and
get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
? sick and nauseated tomorrow; be"
sides, it may salivate you, while if
e you take Dodson's Liver Ton? you
will wake up feeling great, full of
!" ambition and ready for work or play.
1 It's harmless, pleasant and safe to
e give to children; thev like it.
