THE RETIRED BURGLAR. < Account of a Lively and Interest inf? Incident In His* Career. “A house that I went into one night I . in a town n<st vmy far out of NeW • York, "said the retired burglar, “didn’t t begin to pan out as well as I expected | ’ it would, and I couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed. I’d been all over the house, and hadn't get much more’n enough to pay my car fare. But when I camo down stairs agidn I saw standing in a corner of the hall by th" front door something that I hadn’t noticed when I went up 'hat pleased mo very much, i and that was a tricycle,* a girl’s tricycle, with tXvo high wheels and a small* j wheel iii front, with galvanized wire 1 spokes, and a long handle to steer by, and a seat upholstt ’ed with red velvet, and all that sort <’f thing, yon know. You’ve seen lots r ’em, no doubt. “Well, now, my I’ -lo girl bad been asking me for some time for a tricycle, but business had been so everlasting bad that I really hadn’t felt as though I could afford to buy her one, but here was one waiting for me to carry off, and it made mo smile to look at it; a bright new one it was too. It was pretty near Christmas, and I thought I’d keep it and give it to her for a Christmas present. “There wasn’t any rubber tires on it, so I didn’t dare roll it across the hall, but I picked it up ar.d carried it to a door that opened into an entry that opened on to the cellar stairs, the w,.j I’d come in. I got it to the first dooi all right, and into that entry way or ball without hitting anything, but getting it through the door leading to the cellar stairs, going first myself and back ing down with it, the long handle flopped over in somehow and caught in the door when I was just a step down. I tried to free it, and it dreed easier than I expected, and I lost my balance and lost my hold on the iricycle ami fell down stairs. “Noise? Well, now, I te,ll you, I was in n steamboat explesj- :i once, and once in an explosion in a sawmill, but I never began tb Iwur so much noise in my life as I did when me and that tricyclo rolled down, the cellar stairs. « The tricycle fell over me and I fell over tlie . tricycle,and somewhere on the yvay down I believe I must have fuileu .through the tricycle, for when vre .got 'down to the bottom,.! was all scratidie'd and cut I and my clothes were tore and the tricyI cig was a wreck.

WHAT MAKE'S THE PIANO RATTLE! Queer O%uses Found by the Turycr s —Thingi lu the Instruments Piano tuners are sometimes called opon to “tune” gas fixtures as well as pianos. Frequently the owner of a fine upright “grand” enters a vigorous complaint because “that piano rattles so.” Then the piano tuner packs his few tools and some extra glue and parts of the “action” into his long, slender valiso and proceeds to feel the pulse, pound the chest, examine the tongue and overhaul the internal economy of the offending piano. His experienced ear tells him that the piano is all right. His intimate knowledge of the mechanism and make up of tlje piano assures him that nothing is the matter with the instrument, and he says so. “But the piano does rattle,” insists the owner. “Now, listen when I touch this key. ” And, sure enough, a decided buzz and jingle are heard. “It is not in the piano,” replies the tuner, and he toutlies the key again and (jgain, at the same time glancing around the room. “There it is,” he says at last, “pointing to t-l.e glass glube around the gas jet. “There is the rattler,” and the irritating u'oise is silenced when be removes the glass globe. This is a cTninuon experience of piano tuners. Certain notes in Hie piano vibrate in harmony, with a gas fixture, a picture frame, a china plaque hung against the wall or tho bric-a-brac which commonly litters the top of Hie sensitive instrument, and the innocent piano is blamed for the discordant jangle. Pins, buttons and other things foreign to the piano which find their way into the instrument set up complaints and harsh cries When ' certain keys are struck, and recently a piano tinier in Evanston, searching for the “rattle,” found and restored to the young woman who used lhe instruiiient her upper set of false teeth, which had disappeared mysteriously thtj-wnek before. Besides ftoins, ' pins and tootlipiijlG, the.piauo iii eludes hairpins, pockfitknives, paper cutters, manicure instniim ins, knitting needles,, ma'lehes; jewelry, nails, tacks, bits "bl glassypieces j,if“ pictul'o wire, blickles, collar billions, sleeve buttons, rings and even money which had been i placed in the case for safe keeping and : i then forgotten.—Chicago Chronicle.
