TUG PALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , APRIL 5 , 1907
Betty's Burglar.
V RVTTH CATIIKKWOO1J.
Grcnvilk' looked about hint
contentedly. Wlieu a man has
been absent for .1 month and has
slept in sleeping cars most of
that time , home seems pretty
good , even though it may only be
a four room Hat.
He washed his stains of travel
from his face and hands , slipped
on his smoking jacket and went
over to the humidor. To his sur
prise the box was empty save for
a card on which was scrawled :
"Had a party. I owe you a box.
Hert , "
With a laugh he started for the
window. Bert Nible lived on the
floor below. lie would demand
the immediate return of a couple
of cigars. He wanted a chat
with Bert anyway , and the quick
est way down was by the fire es
cape.
His slippered feet made little
or noise against the iron rings ,
and presently he stood on the
landing below. The windows
were open , and he stepod into the
room.
Fora moment the gloom blinded
him , then as his eyes became
accustomed to the dusk he
started torward. As he did so
there was a click , and a feminine
voice commanded him to thow up
his hands.
The command had to be twice
repeated before he obeyed , but at
last he comprehended that the
order was intended for him , and
he raised them above his head.
There was a rustle of feminine
draperies , then the light was
turned on , revealing a girl who
was pretty even in spite of the
white eagerness of her face.
"I beg your pardon,1' said
Grenville. "I am afraid that
there is a mistake somewhere.
1 thought these were Mr. Niblo's
apartments. "
"They arc , ' " was the quiet re
sponse. "You made the mistake
of seeing Mr. Niblo go out and
not knowing that I was here. "
' 'Not remarkable , considering
the fact that he is a bachelor , "
l.n ilw % . ltUtK.i. : to ! . "I'M ' wo " > ' b , U.t - " --P * . ! i.ib ' > '
sister. "
"I am , " she admitted stiffly.
"Then you must know me , " he
began. "I am Fred Grenville. "
Miss Niblo's nose raised itself
in protest. "That is very clever
ot you , " shcsaid , "only Mr Gren
ville is out of town and will not
be back for another week. "
"Great heaven ! " he gasped.
"You don't take me for a burglar ,
do you ? "
"Who else would be likely to
make entry by means of the fire' '
escape"she asked.
"But a burglar in smoking
jacket and slippers1 he protested ,
"I suppose it is a new dodge , ' '
she explained. "Something like
the dress suit burglar , isin't it ? "
"But I really am Fred Gren
ville , " he pleaded. "I always
drop down to see Bert by way of
the fire escape. He took all of
my cigars for some party , and
when I got in ahead of time to
night I found his note and came
down after some. "
"So you've been robbing Mr.
Grenville's flat , too ? " she said.
"You must have been to some
paine to find out the safe places. "
"But I tell you that I am Gren
ville , " he persisted. "I will
show you.1'
He reached into his hip pocket
for his cardcase , but at his first
move the pistol went up again.
"Put up your hands or I'll shoot , "
warned a steady voice , and Gren
ville's hands went up. He knew
that she meant what she said.
" 1 wish you would call up the
fiousc , " he said. "Most of the
tenants know me , and identifica
tion will be easy , "
"My brother will be in soon , '
she said. "I feel safer this way. '
"It's a mighty uncomfortabl *
w.iy , " he pleaded. "May I no
lower my hands ? ' '
"If y'pukeep them iu your lap , '
SK ! agreed , "but keep them a
w.iv from your pockets. Sit ii
that chair. "
She indicated a rocker bv th
window , and into this he backed.
She took a seat in front of him ,
her finger on the trigger of the
nasty looking revolver , ready to
shoot at the first sign of an out-
hreak. She was a western girl ,
he remembered , and trained to
the use of firearms.
"How did you come to have
that gun ? " he asked curiously.
' ' } heard some one in Mr. Gren
ville's rooms and knew it must be
a burglar. I was just going up
stairs when I heard you coming
down. "
"When will Bert be back ? " he
asked anxiously.
"Mr. Niblo will be back in a
short time now , " she said formal-
Iv.
"Don't you think you had better
call the janitor or some one ? " he
pleaded. "It will save a lot of
time. "
"I think it is safest just as we
are , " she said sharply.
"Do you really think I look
like a burglar ? " he asked-
"I never saw a burglar before , "
she admitted. "I don't know
what they do look like , but I
suppose that there are some
Rafllcses in real life. "
(
"Well he said complacently ,
"I'm glad to look like a gentle
man burglar , anyhow. I should
hate to have you think I look
like the Hill Hikes type. "
Mettv smiled in spite of her
self , but it was for a moment ,
though long enough to make
Grenville hope that she would
smile again.
" 1 should think you would try
to be respectable , " she scolded.
"You look like a man who might
become a good citizen "
"I'm a gilt edged citizen , " he
protested. "I'm a member of the
Reform club and all sorts of good
government things. I forget just
what they are , but I remember
that I belong to a lot. "
"I suppose they cannot be very
careful in these large societies , ' '
she commented. "Stilli it is a
pity that they afford you excuse
for posing as a good citizen. "
"Bert will guy the life out of
you for this"hesaid irrelevantly.
"I'll bet he shrieks when he
comes home. "
Betty started. The visitor
seemed to know her brother very
well. What if she had made a
mistake ? She knew he spoke the
truth when he said she would
never be permitted to forget it.
Her lips parted as if to speak ,
when a key grated in the lock ,
and the hall door opened.
"Hello , Bert ! " shouted Gren
ville. "Come on in. "
"Hello , Fred ! " came the sur-
rised reply. "When did you
'et back ? "
With a quick gesture Betty
hrust the revolver under the
illows of the sofa and looked ap-
ealingly at G r e n v i 11 e. He
miled and nodded just as Niblo
atne into the room with out
tretched hands.
"I came down after those
igars. " he laughed. ' 'I found
our sister here , and we've been
laving quite a chat. I wanted
o get back upstairsi but she
nsisted that I should wait tin-
il you come. "
"Glad you found some one at
lome , " laughed his chum , attri
buting : Betty's confusion to an
ther cause. "Betty's got a com
piling way about her. When
he say ? 'stay' you might as well
nake up your mind to stay. "
So I've found out , " he agreed
'I couldn't have got away if 1
iad tried. "
"Well , let's have some supper , '
suggested Niblo. "I'm hungry
: is a bear. "
Betty slipped out to set the
table , and presently the three
sat down to a cold lunch. The
girl exerted herself in every waj
to be agreeable , and long before
the meal was over Grenville de
cided that she was the burglar
she had stolen his heart.
At last she stood by the win
dow taking his leave. "You were
very good , " whispered the girl as
his hand closed over hers ,
"Not good , but selfish , " h (
corrected. "I shall hold thai
over you like a rod of iron tc
make you always nice to me , "
"Is that needful ? " she asked
but her eyes told him more.

Head Ache
Sometimes ?
If so , it will interest you to
know that it can be stopped
with Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills ;
and without any bad aftereffects -
effects , and this without dan-
gqr of forming a drug habit or
having your stomach disar
ranged. They positively con
tain no opium , morphine , co
caine , chloral , ether or chloro
form in any form. Dr. Miles'
lAnti-Pain Pills relieve pain ,
and leave only a sense of relief.
iThe reason for this is explained
by the fact that headache conies
from tired , irritable , turbulent ,
over-taxed brain nerves. Anti-
Pain Pills soothe and strength
en these nerves , thus removing
the cause. They are harmless
when taken as d'irectcd.
"Wo use Dr. Miles' Antl-Pnlu Pills
for the euro or liendnche. anil wo
think that there is nothlni ; that will
equal them. They will cure the
sevcu-st spell of nervous or sick
headache in a very few minutes. 1
nm of a nervous temperament , and
occasionally have spells when my
ner.'os set-in to bo completely exhaust
ed , and I tremble so I can scarcely
cont.iin myself. At these timed I al
ways take the Anti-Pain Pills , and
thev ouilPt me right away. It is re-
inaiKil > l ' what a soothing effect they
lia\c upon the nerves , "
