A burglar alarm suggested over and over, one was installed. The tested Ja Haines ap- peared for a three days' visit. “I don't know about it keeping them out,” he replied in doubtful tones “But if you open a door or raise a window it is bound to ring.” He took a trip around the house and returned to the veranda. “There’s an outside cellar door that is not wired at all,” he said “How careless of Guy not to to that!” exclaimed the sister. When the brother came home in the evening and heard of the derelic- tion, he replied: “I was talking with a detective to- day." el “He advised me to sit up for a few nights and watch and shoot. No bur- glar gets to work before midnight, and was see | it is daylight at about four at this | season.” And you will sit up in your room?” was asked “Yours truly.” “And I in mine,” said Mr. Haines. “Where do you think he will get in?" asked Mr. Haines "“At one of the bedroom windows.” “And shall we shoot to kill?" “You bet!" The girl didn't name the location she would take, but she had it planned out, Firstly, she didn't believe that any burglar would show up that night, or for many another night, either. Secondly, if he did come it would be by the cellar doors. It was the vul- nerable point, and he would take no risks in trying experiments. And she laughed to herself over the sort of watch the two men would keep. They would sit down in rocking chairs, feet up, and pipes a-going, and within half an hour they would be sound asleep to last till morning The girl was right in the main, but she missed it in the case of Mr Haines. Not that he did not fall asleep within the allotted half-hour, but that he pitched to the floor about midnight and was very much aroused he got a plan. He would slip down- and turn off the alarm, and then go out by the back door and thus tairs reach the cellar. When ke came back he would pick up some bric-a-brac to carry to his room until the joke was to be exploded had almost reached the door into the kitchen when he lheard a movement and straightened up. Then came a flash of fire in his followed by cries of “Guy! nd the switching on of electric He | 1ghts “What the devil {s the row!"” de- bling down stairs His sister was crouched against the front door and wringing her hands, and she gasped out in answer: “I have shot the burglar!" “Where {s he?" “There—there “Bully for you' him.” There was the burglar, lying on his face, and there was a trickle of blood on the parquet floor. He drew up one leg as the other man looked down on him “Why, it's Mr. Halnes!"” shrieked Miss Frances, as she came running in. “Darned if it {sn't!" Mr, Haines opened his eyes and faintly remarked that everything could be explained, and then fainted away and did not come to until the doctor was probing for the bullet. When the bustle and hurry were over, the girl told her story. “I thought I heard the burglar at that cellar door.
