C. <|? l A BENEFICIAL BURGLARY By ALAN HINSDALE I am an auto enthusiast because I am especially fond of roving, and I can rove to better advantage In a car than In any other way. Touring in the au tumn, when the leaves are turning, I And delightful. One evening in October about sunset I passed a cozy place a short distance off the road and determined to ask to be housed for the night. Finding the gates locked. I left my auto in the road and, climbing the fence, walked up to the house. There was an ominous silence. Not a dog, not a chicken, not even u cat, gave evidence of life. The nearer view showed me that the window shades were drawn. One shade had not been entirely pulled down, and I could look into the living room. What gives some rooms an air of comfort that others do not possess, unless it la the taste of the furnisher, I don't know. This room was especially Inviting, so inviting that 1 yielded to a temptation to force an entrance. I made a burglur of myself and with an iron bar found on the place jimmied the window and went inside. There was a well filled wood basket beside the fireplace, and I lighted a Ore and sat down In a big easy chair before it. I dreamed all sorts of dreams about the plnce, but they all connected me with it, and they were all dependent upon a lovely imaginary girl who was to make me happy In it. After awhile, hearing a step on the porch without. I turned and saw the object of my dreams looking in through the window. At any rate, a girl was there and evidently interested in the person within. i arose and went to the window, the girl retreating before my ndvanee. "Don't he frightened." 1 said reassuringly. "I'm not a burglar." And I explained to her how I happened to be there. She heard me through, then told me that the place belonged to her. She would not come inside, but after some hesitancy told me a bit of a story. She had been born and lived near by. She became engaged, and her fiance had built the house with the intention of their making a nest together in it when they were married. It was all ready for their occupancy, and they were to hnve been married in a few days, when her lover sickened and died. She had never been in it since a few days before his death. Having seen a light In the window, she had come from her home to discover what it meant. I apologized ifor trespassing and offered to vacate Immediately. "No," she said; "I wish you wou^ remain as long as you like. Ton broken a melancholy spell. I flte where I can see this house /all the while, and 1 think that It has kept me In an abnormal condition. The moment I saw the light in it that spell seemed to snap." She asked me to go to her home with her for the evening. 1 did so. and she introduced me to her mother, a sister and a brother. 1 passed a pleasant evening with intelligent and refined persons, and when bedtime came I was offered a room for the night. "No," I said, looking at the girl who had told me her story, "I think It would be better for you that some one should sleep in your house." She made no reply to this, but asked me to come to her home lor breakfast the next morning. 1 proposed that the family come to the other house for hrnn L'foof Ifnr Iw?r? .??or?.i ? ... . . ???.. luvbuvi Ul?l'U 1.US, mill I left thein expecting them to come to me the next morning. I slept in the best bedroom, which was in readiness, and the next morning arose early to make a few necessary preparations. In due time my hosts appeared, and all except the bereaved girl took on the merriment of a picnic. But I was happy to tind that before the meal was over she had lost much of her sadness. Before I left my newly made friends she said tome: "If at any time while you are touring you find yourself in this neighborhood please feel welcome to remain overnight here." I accepted the offer, intending to do that very thing. The next month I rode out to the place, called on my hosts of my first visit, and we all spent the evening together in the vacant house. I asked permission to use the premises fur a few friends at Christmas time, and It was granted. I had a special object in this, which was to get the bereaved girl used to merry noL-lnff I ~li - ?_ - . iuoc. i miu my inenus her story and that I proposed to make her oue of the party if possible. They all endeavored to make her forget her grief, and one night we persuaded her to sleep in the house. Tills did more than anything else to break the lee. and before the party broke up she had entirely thrown off her abnormal condition. When the spring opened I began my touring and never failed to spend at least oue night in the vacant house. Of course I always visited the owner. It was my object to make her the center figure of my dreams when sitting before the fire the night I had burglarized her house. In this I succeeded. though I was a long while about it At the end of a courtship she consent ed to be my wife. There was a wedding, and she and I are now occupying the house together. The place is singularly pleasing to me. remembering how I came to occupy it permanently, and I think that nature has kindly obliterated from my wife the sadness that once attached to It. This has largely been accomplished by the advent of children. AMERICAN LIVES LOST ON MARINA Vessel Said to Have Been Attacked and Sunk by Two Submarines?Six From This County Drowned. London, Oct. 31.?Six , Americans were killed in the sinking of the British steamer Marina, according to a telegram received by Amercan Consul Frost at Queenstown, says the Press association.

Minerva, Ohio, Oct. 28, 1916. '1 he Times, Un'on, S. C. Ontlemen: In response to your S. O. S. call I am enclosing check for $2.00 to apply on my account. I am always more or less interested in what is going on among the people "back home," in their politics, progress and things in general and The Times is just about the same as a nice long letter. Guess everything is Wilson down here, and it seems to be the same here to some extent; people who give elections much thought believe he will carry this State (Ohio), also Indiana and that the women in Illinois (who vote for the first time this year) will carry that State for him. The Republican campaign committee of this county sent one of their workers out some days ago to bring back into the fold one of their number whom they had heard was drifting away, this worker was a personal friend of the sunnospH trim * man and went forward with the intention of spending the day with him if necessary, to accomplish his recovery; arriving late in the forenoon he had dinner with the wayward friend and departed in the afternoon an avowed supporter of Wilson, having been converted instead of retrieving the lost fellow Republican. There are numerous instances here of about the same character. ; Iram -sorry I did not respond to Hbr call earlier but I just never "got rC6it." I Wishing you all the success possible, I am, Yours very truly, ' W. E. Wood. TAKE~"CASCARETS" IF HEADACHY, BILIOUS AND CONSTIPATED Best for Liver and Bowels, Bad Breath, Bad Colds, Sour Stomach.
