weary he found himself prostrate on the floor,
with a chair and something soft and thick
over him, he finished his exclamation
with “----it!”
“Oh, Ulysses! Ulysses!” screamed Mrs.
Murfree, tangling herself up in the bed-
clothes in her efforts to rise. “Help!
Where are you?”
Mr. Murfree was on his feet in a flash,
holding in his arms the harmless cause
of his fright and disturbance, Mrs. Mur-
free’s fur cape, which she had hung over
the chair back, in front of the dresser,
and which, with its high shoulders and
collar, had looked in the dim light like a
stooping figure.
Men think quickly sometimes, and Mr.
Murfree realized the situation with re-
markable speed, and being on his met-
tle determined not to be made a fool of.
Knocking Mrs. Murfree’s jewel case
from the dresser as he fled he rushed out
of the room pellmell, stepping on the
cat, the author of the mysterious noises
that had first awakened him.
With a savage kick he sent her ahead
of him, as he flew down the front stairs,
and banged the front door open and shut.
Then he panted breathlessly up again,
sinking on the top stair, sore, bruised
and mad, just as his wife succeeded in
lighting the gas.
“Burglar,” he gasped.
“Where, oh, where?” she screamed ex-
citedly, half helping, half dragging him
into the room.
“Gone,” he managed to say; “knocked
him over—got away—front door—see
there?” pointing to the jewelry strewn
around the floor.
Mrs. Murfree gave one look, and then,
with that faithful sense of obligation to
the tradition of her sex which the aver-
age woman seems to possess in an emer-
gency, she proceeded to faint away.
Mr. Murfree dumped her into a chair.
He was too weak to hold her, and besides
he felt a fiendish exultation in glorying
in his superior strength of mind, so when
she recovered he was picking up the
cleverly scattered trinkets with as bored
an air as he could assume.
“"What are you scared of?” he said
scornfully. “Man’s gone; I’m here; I
rather think I have protected you even
if I am a coward. Perhaps you will
kindly leave the light burning after this
so that I shall not be obliged to struggle
for my life in the dark,” and he wiped
from his forehead a few drops of blood
trickling from a scratch he received in
his encounter with the large pin on his
cape burglar, making his face as gory as
possible with the small amount of mate-
rial.
y eritably the tables were turned.
Mrs. Murfree looked at him a moment
in a hysterical way, and then falling’ 01
his neck alternately implored forgive-
ness and wept over her former severity,
calling him her hero and all the de-
lightful names which Mr. Murfree’s soul
was thirsting for.
“I’ll never say such mean things
again,” she sobbed, “never, never.”
“There, there,” said her spouse,
straightening up and putting on a pa-
tronizing air to conceal the nervous
shaking of his muscles—scarce over their
recent shock. “You sit down and I will
search the house, so that we can feel
easy during the remainder of the night.”
So that while Mrs. Murfree hid behind
the bed curtains for fear of another visit-
or, her Ulysses went out into the hall
and stayed five minutes in a dark corner,
returning with a serious air and the as-
surance that all was well.
Locking their door, the couple once
more sought repose, but both were too
excited for sleep.
“Won’t I just gloat over Mrs. Jenks,”
exclaimed Mrs. Murfree as she convul-
sively patted the pillow into a more ac-
commodating shape. “Oh, Ulysses, I’ll
tell every woman in the block.”
Just then the ludicrous side of the
thing struck Mr. Murfree, and he stuffed
the corner of the sheet in his mouth and
shook convulsively.
“What’s the matter, dear?” cried his
wife. “What’s the matter, Uly?”
As soon as he could speak he mut-
tered, “Only a chill—don’t bother about
it—guess I took cold.”
“Shan’t I get you something hot?”
asked his spouse anxiously.
“Nonsense,” he replied, controlling
himself with difficulty; “just go to
sleep. I’m tired.”
“All right, dear,” responded she; “I
do hope you won’t be sick. It’s very
funny, Ulysses, that the policeman on
our beat didn’t hear anything or come
running up to the house when that
dreadful man made such a noise at the
door. Dear me, if I didn’t know you
had a chill I should think you were
laughing.”

“There is not a particle of heroism
about you, Ulysses,” said Mrs. Murfree '
as she brushed out her back hair in front'
of the dresser glass preparatory to retir- j
ing for the night. “Not a particle,” she ;
. emphatically repeated. “What on earth
your mother was thinking about when
she named you I can’t imagine. I am
sure that I never saw a man more un-
like his namesake. I have known you to thieves! oh”
be positively cowardly at times.”
Mr. Murfree looked up in a
way from the corner where he sat. “I’m
sure, my dear,” he began.
“No, you’re not,” snapped his better
half, giving the pincushion a whack
with the hairbrush to emphasize her
words; “you are not sure; you are never
sure of anything—you only think. Bah!
I hate a man who ‘only thinks.’ ” And she
jerked the tangles out of a refractory
auburn lock with additional force.
“When Mrs. Jenks was telling tonight
about that paragon of a husband of hers
I was simply consumed with envy. It
shows how much to believe in names.
Look at you two men; look, I say!”
“Yes, my dear,” responded Mr. Mur-
free, pulling off his boots in a resigned
way, “I’m looking.”
“Bah!”retorted his wife, “I mean your
names—Ulysses Murfree, Peter Jenks—
. just think of the. difference, and yet Pe-
ter Jenks knocked a burglar down staira
this week with one fist; one, I assure
you; and you—you are kfraid to go call-
ing on the Simsongibbers after dark be-
cause they keep a dog.”
“Well, my dear,” feebly expostulated
Mr. Murfree, ‘ ‘it is a very large clog and
I”----
Here Mrs. Murfree suddenly turned
around, and through lips containing sun-
dry hairpins, combs and such trifling ar-
ticles hissed, “Don’t talk to me!” in
such an impressive and disgusted man-
ner that Mr. Murfree subsided at onca
and proceeded to finish pulling off his
socks.
He was not disturbed again until the
moment came for retiring, when, con-
trary to their usual custom, Mrs. Mur-
free turned the gas entirely out, leaving
the room in darkness, save where a streak
of moonlight fell through the window,
open for ventilation.
Now, if there was anything that Mr.
Murfree hated it was to have the bed-
room gas turned off at night, but know-
ing the defiant state of mind which
prompted his wife to extinguish it, and
fearing to provoke another outburst he
climbed sadly into bed, and lay cogitat-
ing a plan whereby he should be able to
shoot a burglar in the dark should one
chance to visit his abode that night.
“I don’t see how I could do it,” he
sighed, turning uneasily.
“Are you ever going to lie still and let
a person sleep?” snapped the partner of
his joys and sorrows as she flounced
over, dragging half of the comfortable
with her, and thereby causing small
chills to chase one another down her hus-
band’s vertebrae.
Mr. Murfree laid still.
He held his breath, figuratively, until
the deep, not to say sonorous, breathing
of his amiable companion told that peace
and quietude had folded their downy
wings upon the bosom of Mrs. Murfree.
Then he sighed again.
“I do hope no one will come tonight,”
he murmured sleepily. “Dear me—if—
I”— And here his thoughts floated
vaguely7 off and he realized no more.
Quiet fell on the room for a time,
broken onl^ by^the musical sounds from
the alcove, where slept the pair, and an
occasional snap as the willow rocker,
objecting to the strain of the day, tried
to contract to its former shape.
Just as the city clock was striking 1
Mr. Murfree awoke with a start and
looked in a dazed way up into the dark-
ness.
“What’s the matter with me?” he mut-
tered, a sensation of uneasiness creeping
over him. “I think—ha! What’s that?”
And, broad awake now, with the cold
perspiration starting from every pore, he
became conscious of a faint rustle in the
room, the cause of which the heavy por-
tieres draping the alcove prevented him
ascertaining.
Cautiously-he reached under the mat-
tress for his i evol ver, and to his horroi
found that, after cleaning it on the pre-
vious day, Ee had carelessly forgotten to
replace it in its wonted spot.
“Oh, Lord! Oh, Lord!” he chattered tc
himself, trying to keep cool. “No re-
volver, no nothing, and a burglar, sure as
fate. Samantha was right; I am a cow-
ard. What on earth shall I do? If 1
wake Samantha I will never hear the last
of it; she will nag worse than ever; be-
sides, she is sure to yell, and then we will
all be murdered.” And the poor man
shook so that the springs creaked and
sent him into a fresh fit of trembling.
Rustle, rustle, it came again, and then
a soft thump and a clink.
“He’s got my pants,” ejaculated Mr.
Murfree to himself as he cautiously sat
up in bed. and tried to calm himself.
Thump.
“I can’t stand this any longer,” said
Mr. Murfree in a whisper, beginning to
get huffy. “I’m a fool. No wonder
Samantha said so. I will certainly find
out what is outside of those curtains,
and this time Samantha shan’t have a
chance to brag over me. Perhaps I shall
be able to do something for once.”
Keeping well away from the separa-
tion between the portieres ho carefully
let one foot out of bed.
As it touched the floor the rustle
sounded again, and so near that Mr.
Murfree nearly lost his balance with
fright, and found himself on his feet the
next moment shaking with alarm lest
he had provoked the marauder’s atten-
tion to the alcove or awakened the sleep-
ing Samantha.
But, no; all was quiet, and as soon as
he plucked up a sufficient amount Gt'
courage he peered cautiously through
the curtains.
With difficulty he repressed an excla-
mation of horror.
The moon’s rays fell across the dresser,
bringing out each article on it with a
weird distinctness, and just in the
shadow before the cheval glass was the
stooping figure of a man.
He was evidently searching the upper
drawer, and Mr. Murfree gasped for joy
as he distinguished on the top of the cab-
inet to the right of the glass the missing
revolver.
“If I can only7 reach him,” said Mr,
Murfree to himself, “jump on him as he
is bending over, and secure the revolve?
before he recovers himself—it’s a good
plan and the only one. Pin getting kind
of riled; I don’t believe I'm such a cow-
ard after all.”
With a mighty effort he braced him-
self and advanced cautiously, keeping
his eyes on the bent figure.
