His wife looked at him with re proachful brown eyes. “Oh, George, I am so sorry.” "So am I, Marjie, If It worries you, but I don't see that a few days can make much difference.” "Blit, George, it is really danger ous, besides the risk of breaking that glass and having to pay for It. Don't you remember how the sash fell when Jane was washing the window? It might have killed her if 1 hadn't caught it.” "Yes, but you did, and now that she knows the danger, there Is no longer any risk. If you want the window open.you can put a stick under the sash; but we don't use the room, you know.” “No. w-e don’t,” sighed Marjory. It was one of her grievances, carefully kept to herself, that they could not afford to furnish their drawing room. She and her husband bad left the boarding house in the city, where they had lived for three years, and moved out to the suburbs, chiefly on account of the baby. They were charmed with the change, delighted to have a home. The pretty two-storied cottuge, with veranda and half-acre lot, was a great improvement on the one room at the hoarding house, where Mnrjory had quaked if her child so much as whimpered. She and George took much satisfaction In gardening, and studied horticulture with zeal. No earthly paradise is perfect: George and Marjory had determined not to run in debt, and the drawing room of their house was bare, except ing for u few chairs and the window curtains. The window occupied tho whole front of the room, and was merely two huge panes of plate glass. The owner had built a row of similar cottages, commodious villas he called them in his advertisement, and these front windows were the pride of his heart. Marjory detested them. She declared they made the houses look like shops, In spite of the verundas, and she was in continual fear lest the costly glass might be broken. Since the discovery that the lower sash was not properly hung, this fear was in creased. The sash went up all right, but, after a little while, came down with a sudden rush. George had been promising to write to the landlord about it, but had forgotten from day to day. She had felt sure that he would remember when he paid the rent, and she was dreadfully disappointed, al though she told herself that it really did not matter much; the sash would be fixed long before they could aKord to furnish the room. The baby was restless that night, and kept Marjory awake long after George was sound asleep. It was warm and the windows in their cham ber were wide open. At last the child slept well, but its wakefulness seemed transferred to its mother. She lay with eyes shut, trying her best to full asleep, when suddenly she heard a steulthy step on the porch. She was out of bed and at the window in a twinkling, listening with all her might. Surely she heard the catch of the drawing room window turn and the window gently raised. Then the heavy sash came down with a thud, there was a groan and a muttered curse. Marjory was thoroughly frightened now. and ran to wake her husband. “George, George!" she cried, shaking him. "Wake up; somebody is break ing in downstairs." It was quite a little while before she could rouse him sufficiently to make him understand, then he had to get his pistol, and Marjory feared ieat the dining room should be looted and the thief gone before they arrived on the scene, in spite of George's protests she followed close at his heels. She need not have worried, the drawing room window was to serve her lu good stead. There across the aill. pinned down by the sash, lay the burglar, with bis head tn the room and his feet barely touching the floor of the ve randa. On the drawing room floor were a burglar hit and a dark lantern. The man'e face a as covered with a black mask. “For GinI's sake, let me uut of this," he implored when he saw the two “Oh George, he Will hr killed *' Hr lory cried, anj the started forward, then stepped afraid to tout h the pris oner At the same moment fur hue tiand held h*r t*a» k "No. no my man you mud wait awhile," he said "I think you are safe for the prevent " Then he weal to the hall door and whistled sharply three time. Fortunately a policeman was within ear shot and eoua appeared on the Matte “I.el me out of this growled the burglar to the eg* er. “Jo you waal to kill me*" *'Oh, no,” answered the policeman, cheerfully, "there Is a good deal of life In you yet. Here, put on the brace lets, first." He drew a pair of hand cuffs from his pocket and fettered his prisoner before he went around oil the porch to raise the sash, George followed him and held the window, while the officer pulled the thief to his feet and removed his mask. As the blase of light from the chandelier fell on the man's face the officer gave a low whistle of surprise and pleasure. "Slippery Dick, by all that is good and holy,” he exclaimed. "Well, that is a good haul." "Oh, no," sneered the captive, "I'm Jolly Jim. King for my carriage; I tell you my back Is broken with that cursed window. I'm half dead al ready, so you may shoot If you like. I won't walk.” "Oh, well," said the policeman, "the reward Is for you, alive or dead, but you’ll live to be hung, don't you fear. I guess this gentleman will help me to support you to the nearest drug store, it Isn't far off, and I don’t mind riding from there to accommodate you.” Two days later, as George and Mar jory sat on the veranda in the twi light, the policeman came up the walk and stopped at the door. "It's Slippery Dick, sure enough,” he said. "1 sup pose it will be the square thing if we go halves on the reward. He was wanted for burglary and murder In town, and the figure is $300." Marjory’s eyes danced with delight. "Now we cun furnish the drawing room," she thought, but she held her peace while her husband signified his consent to the proposal. "Of course, you will have to appear as a witness," said the officer. "I think your wife will be excused. And now, if you please, I would like to go Inside and take a good look that window." George led the way into the drawing room. The policeman raised the sash, caught It as It fell, repeated the oper ation, then turned and took a leisurely survey of the unfurnished apartment. "That’s a first-rate burglar trap, and no mistake,” he said thoughtfully, "but hang me If I see any bait. And to think it caught Slippery Dick, of all men in the world."—Chicago Tribune. THE ITALIAN WOMAN. (Jcntlrr lici of TIint Nationality Rt-a but Little. The rather low standard of her cul ture tends to keep the Italian woman behindhand In the march of emanci pation, though one comes across re markable exceptions among those oc cupied with education of literature,and and even in society, says The Contem porary. The Italian has a very acute intelligence, which takes In with ex traordinary promptitude anything pre sented to her mind, but she does not cultivate It; once her studies ended she doses her books; “adieu panlers, vendanges sont faltes!” That most useful help to feminine Intellectual development, reading, has not yet be come a habit with her. There are countries where books are more used by women than by men; rich, they buy them; poor, they have the lending library; in their yearly expenditure, no matter how small it be, literature has its place. There Is nothing like this in Italy, With the exception of a small minority, the women do not read, and have no wish to read. Their celebrated ancestresses of the six teenth century must look at them with reproachful eyes. If the shade of the President des Brasses recrossed the Alps he would find no Maria Gaetana Agnesi, called the oracle of seven lan guages and the servant of the poor, and declared by him to be more mar velous than MilaA Cathedral. Benedict XIV. granted permission to this learned Milanese lady to take her fath er's place as professor of mathematics at the University of Bologna during an illness of the father. The tradition of feminine learning is lost in Italy; Indeed. It was lost long before the time of Maria Gaetana Agnesi. The Italian of to-day may yet prove her self capable of emulating her great forerunners, but in the meantime it is certain that modern ideas have made so much less way writh her than with the women of other European coun tries that she offers a more formida ble resistance than even the men of her own land to any effort at reform in favor of her sex. This inferiority of culture has the double effect of greatly limiting the number of women i upuble of taking any part whatever In public affairs, and of creating an utter want of sympathy with the emancipation movement In general.
