Burglars' War
OCCULT SIGNS MKAN A LOT TO

where the welcome may be lacking ie
warmth, burglars use various signals 117
which they provide thole colleagues in
crime with information calculated to
0080 trouble when robbery 18 afoot.
'"You see, it is like this," said 411
ex 00/1 ViOt. “Houneholdere are 'later-
ally not going to ware a burglar that
they keep a good dog on the premises;
that the cvindotve are fitted with electric
alarm bells, or that the police are
keeping epeeist watch on the bowies in
certain streete, And It is very usefol
to know, when you are going to crack
a crib, by three marks cut inthe buttom
of the garden, for instance, that there
is a dog to guard against: and that a
little V-aliaped piece chipped off the
outside windowframe 11260118 that
trouble must be looked for if the
whitlow is raised And when any of
the boys see the wall of the gate -post
ehipped to form the outline of a pone&
tnall'a truncheon, they are lintnediately
on the qui vire, for it is a sign which
indicates that the district is being pa-
trolled by polioemon in pairs,
Who makes these signs 1 Perhaps
burglare who have worked the neighbor
hood and have tomtit all particulars, or
maybe 01(80 01 the gang employed in the
house in some eapuoity by false refer-
enoes Them are ptobably, several
reasons why he should not endeavor to
communicate his knowledge to other
members of the gang by letter, and to
be seen with his pals while he is still
employed there might ruin their plans
especially if the latter's movements are
being watched by the police, He
therefore communicates his haorieation
ae he gets it by certain private Ripe's",
The veteran mentioned .that atm -
were quite a number of codes in exist
ence amongst the various gangs. As
a matter of fact, each gang—and as a
rule burglars work in gange—iuvent
their own secret codes ofsignalling in
such cireiestanoes. But there is one
ingeidous code known to most burglare.
For instanoe, notches out nnder-
neath the bottom bar of the fron 1 gate
out of eight, but deep enough to be
oonnted by feeling in thkdark, indicate
the number of occtipants. An old clay
pipe broken in seemed bits • indicates
naen and how many, and a thimble bine
led by the gate pool mauls women
ocoupants only. A ghee button o1
oyster shell indicates diamonds or jaw
ale, a piece of broken plate imbeates
plate. A scrap of iron warns the bur
glar that firearms are kept, A bone
carelessly thrown in a clerk corner
menus a clog, and a torn rag or cloth
shows that he is fierce.
And it is a fact—which must often
make burglars themselves laugh—that
these signals, when a burglary has been
committed, are often referred to in the
newspapere as clues to the identity of
°Hulks's.
How valuable these eignals are was
strikingly illustrated by au incident
related by the ex -convict already re-
ferred to, He and two other members
of a gang decided to rob a house 10 one
of the remote corners of Surrey. They
had surveyeet the premises, and, n
suitable opportunity oacuring, they de
oidod te do the job without waiting to
get full partioulars as to the preeaution
adopted against burglary by the in-
mates of the house. .Ltiokily—itt least
for the barglare---oee of the men,
while opening the outside gate In the
dark, laid his hand on the gatepost, on
the top of which had been out a rough
diagram of a jemmy.
He at onee recognized it as a sigual
adopted by another gang to warn the
men that it wee no geed trying to use
.Ienamies to force anythiug. However
Oa bray/ears proceeded and
effected an entrance through -1'1;e slc7-
light of the greenhouee 81100110(1. But
they left it way °pelt for retreat, and
it was fortunate for them that they
did so, for no sooner did they attempt
to miter the house from the door insiee
the greenhottee than electric) bells gave
the alarm, mid they hurriedly dentam
ed. They afterwards learnt that the'
bowie was °coupled by a reared eoldier,

The Czar's

lu 1809 Napoleo 111,, who

Would not Intervene without Na
assistance, determined to pr
if possible the Anglo-French into
"Teii youg waster," said Alexa
to the French ambassador, "that

him."
Now, the emperor was not sure
Napoleon would inform tbe En
government of this threat. He
committed in his efexicae scheme
would proceed despite the mar's
test. England once having entered
scheme could not well withdraw,
poleon was at the .tlree in confer
with the British arabaeitador to Fra
and the alliance was about to be
fected,
One clay ileo American minister
St. Petersburg was called to the lm
Hal palace and when he returned
the embassy called the second seer
ry of legation into 1418 Private of
and, handing hitu 0 paper, said to b
"This document Is a communleatl
to me from the ezar expressing
talent:illness for the United States a
declaring that if the Emperor Ne
leen intervenes in the struggle gol
on there he, will make Wal` up
France. It is essential that this do
ment be shown to the British prem
with the least possible delay. St.
tersburg is full of the Emperor Nap
leon's spies, and a Is quite likely tb
these facts are know', to them. Tbo
la little doubt that they will put eve
obstacle in your way to delay your a
rival in England till after .the Alegi
French alliance bas been effected
tween the two countries. They ma
also try to obtain possession of t
document you bear. Go to London
quickly as possible and do not sleep
you are on the channel."
George Carey, finial with a 4
caliber revolver, made his prepare
tions to leave by the next train at
p. m. Expecting that he might b
watched and delayed on his way t
.the station, be called a cab an hon
before train time. He knew the shor
est route and soon saw that he wa
being driven in another ' direation.
Tapping on tbe glass window that sep-
arated him from the driver, he ap
peared to the latter pointing a cocke
revolver at him.
"DriveI.straight to the station," he
sa
This had the proper effect, and Carey
reached the train half an hour before
leaving time. This was unfortunate,
for it gave those in,, the pay of the
French emperor plenty of time to
make their arrangements with regard
to him.
The emissary was put by an official
(bribed) into a' compartment where
there was no one but a girl,- The train
had no sooner started than she began
to puff a cigarette. Carey knew by
its odor that it Waa drugged and tried
to open the window. It had been se-
cured He at once broke the glass
with the butt of his revolver.
When Carey passed the border into
Germany he was very sleepy and drop-
ped Into a slumber in spite of his ef-
forts to keep awake. His suit case
was in the rack, and when ee awoke,
after the train had stopped several
times, he noticed that the case was
not there. lite was troubled only at
the loss of toilet articles and a change
of clothing, for the czar's letter was
under a linen band around his body.
Carey believed that the chain of spies
watching him would expect him to
pass through Belgium. lee therefore
concluded to go through femme. His
bold stroke was successful, and he was
not disturbed, 'main even through
Paris and reacbing Calais ivithout ad-
venture. Ills traveling by an unex-
pected route threw the cordon of per-
sons watching him completely off the
track, and he was not located by them
again till he reached Calais.
He was leaving his trek at Calais
to go aboard tile boat for Dover when
a man stepped ep to hini and netted if
he were George Carey. Carey, who
knew very well dant lie was spetted,
admitted that be 008, 111115 1(1 a tone to
Indicate 111101 110 would brook no inter-
ference. The man diepinyed a shield
and, produeeng a paper, began to rend
a warrant for his arrest on n charge of -

Meanwhile the passengers were pass-
ing from the train to the boat. Carey
stood listening to the warrant, 000 070

CAREFULLY PROTECTED water supply is one of the drat esseae
Gals in the home, whether in the country or in the town. In the
country and small villages supplies are taken almost altogether
from
1(1 10,. Fortunate Indeed is the farmer who has a spring 06
hie farm which will yield enough water to operate a small ram
and thus supply him with water as conveniently and as plentifully as if be
wore In the city.
As a Tule no great expense is Involved in protecting a well. If the welt
Is properly located the only ,danger to anticipated is from matter drop-.
Ding In from the surface. This danger cannot be too much exaggerated
where the farm buildings are ,grouped and the well ls not

WELL SAFE is this so when the privy contents are periodically thrown
upon the manure pile. It is then possible for the farmer's
boots or the feet of the dogs to convey this material to the top tot the well.
