800n after midnight, when the !muse was
all quiet, I went to the pantry awl got into
the cupboard looking myself in. There
were two openings in the panel, threugh
either of which I was able to t. ommand a

occupied in wondering if I was really about
•to have a chance ofdistinguishing myself.
Somehow, there was an 'nisei noreality
about the evonts of the evening which puz-
zled ,no. Suddenly I heard a sound which
put me on the alert at 011eJ. 1t Was netlis
Mg more than the creaking of a board or
opening of a door would make in a quiet
house ; lint it sounded intensified to my ex.
peanut ears. I drew myself up against the
door of the cupboard and placed my eye to
the opening in the panel, I had oiled the key
of the door, and kept my ringers upon it, in
readiness to spring upon the burglar at the
proper moment. After what seemed some
time I saw the gleam of light through the
keyhole of the floor opening into the pantry.
Then it opened, and a man, carrying email
. lantern, came gently into the motn. At
first, I could see nothing of his taut ; but
when my eyes grew aeoustotned to the hazy
light, I saw that I held been rightly inform-
ed, and that the burglar WWI teed 110 other

he went to work. He wont over to the
window and examined it. He went over to
door of the cupboard in which 1 stcosi con-
cealed. Then be lecked the deor ot the
pantry and turned his at tenchot to the safe,
He set his lamp on a. chair before the lock
und took from his pocket as nec't an:1 pretty
a collection of tools as ever I saw. With
these he went quietly ;mil swiftly to work.
Light -toed Jiin was to SolftWilat
biffit fellow, with little noasenlar develoie
meiio about him, while I am a big man with
plenty of bone and sinew. If matters had
tome to et right between us I could have done
what I pleased with him : but I knew that
Jim would not chance a light. Somewhere
about hint I felt sure there was a revolver,
which he would use on the least provocation,
My plan, therefore, was to wait until his
back was bent over the lortkof the safethen
to open the cupboard noislessly end fall
bodily upon him, pinning him to 1,1i0 genuiel
beneath me.
