The sound came from below as if the intruder were attempting to climb up the great vine that covered the side of the house. idna became strangely calm. She wed from her bed, and i ness slipped on Lor K atin slippers that s “what in the world have they been doing to you?

She turned in the dark and by light of a pale moonbeam caught sight of the great water jug on the stand. That would certainly kill him,” she told herself with a shudder; “I can not possiibly do that.” She would empty the contents of the jug on that ascending head. The man was several yards from the ground; for a second Edna hesi- tsted. Perhaps even then the fall might prove fatal. “But I ean not be murdered in my bed " She shuddered again and with 1 burst of courage leaned far out of the window and spilled the water with sure aim on the burglar's head.
