A Burglar's Stor$

-CI,- [Original.]

The way'it happened was this, lou see, I began my life in clover, then OWheii I was scarcely more than a baby 'was stolen by an Italian organ grinder and when I was twenty had been graduated for a burglar. I hadn't inherited the profession from my ancestors I had been doomed to it by those who had stolen me, and 1 made a mighty poor living. Fortunately I was lucky enough to keep out of jail.

One night—it was in November, and a cold wind blew through my rags, my

#bones,

(that

my marrow and all I was

JT ,walking along a road, going nowhere, ^„'for I had nowhere to go. I came to a til1 small house standing by itself and no- I ticed a faint glow in the kitchen, inA" dicating that some one had left an open fire there. I was as hungry as I Isfwas cold, and the pielui.' I drew of •,

kitchen was a wonder of comfort. As luck would have i*\ a loose I window guard and, lifting the sash, "went inside.- My anticipations were more than realized. There was a fine bed of coals on the hearth—no cook stove spoiled the appearance of that "kitchen—and on the floor beside it was a basket of clams. •. A pleasant light from the coals gave me a sight of the room, its closets and .what was in them. Throwing half a "dozen clams on the fire, I got out what tableware I needed and went down into the cellar to see if I could find anything to wash down a supper with.

I found rows of bottles marked "Currant Wine." Taking a bottle, I went back to the kitchen, and by this time the clams were about ready to eat. I put them on the plate I had placed on --"the table for them, opened them, put on some butter, some salt and, finding

I had forgotten the pepper, went into the closet to get it. I had to hunt a few minutes, and when I returned there stood a girl in wrapper and slippers, looking about as unconcerned as if she had expected to find me there. "I beg pardon, miss," I said. "I found the door—I mean the window— open, and, being cold and hungry, thought you wouldn't mind my coming in and getting a snack."

I never saw such nerve in iny life. She told me to make myself at home and not mind her coming in at all. She threw more clams on the fire and, going to the closet, brought out a lot of good things I hadn't found. She beg•ged me to go right on with my supper, and she would join me as soon as more clams were cooked. "I'm troubled with insomnia," she *r said, "and keep something to eat ready every night. After a supper I can go to sleep."

The warm fire, the supper, the wine

aud, above all, the companionship such as I had never enjoyed before made me forget what I was, and she seemed to 'forget it, too, for when I pictured myself standing without wistfully drawing mental pictures of her kitchen she almost cried. This induced me to mention that an Italian had told me I had been stolen when a child, but would not tell me from whom. I told the girl that I placed no confidence in his story, "I place a great deal of confidence in it," she said. "You belie your clothes and occupation. You have descended from gentlemen—gentlemen especially noted for their appearance. From the moment I saw you—when you bowed to me at my entrance—I recognized the inheritance of this feature in you. It was this that enabled me to keep my equanimity. A woman fears men in -V proportion as they are brutal she inv/1 stinctively recognizes deference." 'I

When I went away I had promised her that I would do all in my power to discover the secret of my birth. In the means employed I forgot my natural inheritance and yielded to my worldly oy inheritance. I got the man wiio had given me a part of my secret alone ••where he could not escape me and held a knife at his breast till he gave me the facts. This he did, declaring that he would suffer death later on at the hands of his accomplices. Giving me an article of underclothing with initials worked on it, he told me the p" names of my parents, where they lived ',

Tand

all about them.

j? "They are rich," he said, "and you could make the short time I have to 'live comfortable. But before you find

4:f

them I shall have disappeared." I took the garment the man gave me and one night went to the "house of her 1* who had given me her confidence.

There was the dim light of coals in the •v-' kitchen, and the window guard had been left open for me. I entered, sat down before the fire and waited. She came dow a in a few minutes—she had heard me—and I told her my story, showing her the garment. She toqk it, examined »it carefully, and the expression on her *-i face was that of one who had found a treasure. No one had ever before rejoiced at any good fortune that had -, come to me, and I could not understand why this girl should do so.

We roasted the elams and ate our l:' supper together. When I left I had promised to find my family and come back to let her know the result.

Of my restoration to my father and mother I say nothing, because. I could not describe that which was all of feeling and therefore

'scibuble.

But being tuied to refined influences could not undo all that had been done to ruin my life. I was twentytwo years old and could neither read v:.., nor write. My parents, proposed to hire tutors for me, but I declined. I had a tutor of my own in view—at least a tutor for a beginning. For the rf^last ticio I went to her house at: the acrucustomed hour, crept in at the window, and when she came down she promised to be my governess. ©I haVe eves since been her willing slave.

Deafness is caused by inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and 'iiiIpss the iiiflamation can be taken out and this'tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out often are caused by catarrh, which is1 nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surface.

Mesers.'Mac Avoy and Forda who present Anna Hamilton the well known young emotional actress in the great scenic success, "Her Fatal Sin" have spared neitherjpains nor expense to carry out their original intention to make this melodrama the best in every way. The stupendous scenic events have been the wonder and delight of the theatre goers wherever this rem., liable play has been presented. The costumes are the admiration of the ladies everywhere. The cast has been selected with the greatest possible care and in every detail the performance throughout is most remarkable for its near approach to being perfect. In securing Miss Hamilton for the leading role, the management went far ahead of anything ever attempted in the melodrama line and this alone has.been the envy of the trr

vei

ling managers who offered Misg Hamilton fabulous salaries to engage with them.

40 Cents Bound Trip to Indianapolis via Pennsylvania Lines.. 1|

Grand Opera House Next Week

In the course of the present theatrical season in Indianapo lis the Grand may possibly have abetter bill to offer than thatof*next week, but in glancing over the list of acts engaged it will strike the regular vaudevillegoer that a finer offering would be hard to put together. At the opening of the season tee management of the Grand promised its patrons many brand new acts this year, and it will be noticed that the coming program contains four attractions that have never before been seen in Indianapolis, and these tour attractions are all of the very highest class.

The headline number—and it is an'attraction wholly unlike anything else on the American vaudeville stage—will be the famous Fadettes of Boston, an orchestra composed of twentyfive young women, each of whom is an expert instrumental* ist. It is the only woman's orchestra in tha country that can be classed with prominent male orchestras, and is (considered by music critics generally as the finest body of feminine musicians that has ever been organized. It is only recently that the Fadettas have been heard in vaudeville, formerly appearing as a concert organization. Caroline B. Nichols, who has won an enviable reputation in the musical world, is the conductor of the Fadettes, and will direct the programs every afternoon and evening during the engagement of the orchestra at the Grand. It is a foregone conclusion that the Fadettes will repeat in Indianapolis the great success that they have been scoring in the leading vaudeville theaters of Boston, New York and Philadelphia, and it is safe to say that the talented young women will be the talk of the town hrre next week.

Another number on the bill that will be of much interest to Indianapolis people will be the first professional appearance in her home town of Estelle Wordette, an Indianapolis girl, who has been making a decided hit in vaudeville playlets. She will present here, with the assistance of the well known actor, Jules Kusell, a bright little comedy entitled "A Honeymoon in the Catskills."' Miss Wordette entered upon a stage career five years ago, at first playing leading dramatic roles with the Hopkins Stock Company in Chicago, where she gained much valuable experience. She went into vaudeville last season and has been very successful in this popnlar field of entertainment. Her many local friends will doubtless turn out in large numbers to give her a most royal welcome.

Florida Hotel Service.

The Great Central passenger department have been advised that the larger hotels at the prominent Florida winter re sorts will open as follows:

Hotel Alcazar at St. Augustine, Fla., December 9th, The Breakers at Balm Beach, Fla., December 23rd, Hotel Roj^al Palm, at^Miami, Florida, January .9th, Hotel Ponce de Leon at St. Augustine, Florida, January 9th, Hotel Ormond at Ormond on the Halifax, January 9th, Hotel Poinciana, Palm Beach, Fla.,"Jan. 11.

They will have through sleepers between Detroit and Toledo and Chicago and Indianapolis to Jackgonville, as well as through car service to the best resorts of the south.

The next attraction at the opera house will T*e the great melodramatic success "Her Fat'al Sin" booked to appear here Tuesday, Oct. 17. This company is said to be the most original drama of the century, the plot being entirely new and so far out of tho ordinary that there is no attraction that in any way approaches it The cast is headed by the well known young emotional actress Anne Hamilton, wTho appears in the role of "Carmen, the Street Singer," in which part she is, according to the foremost dramatic critics of New York, at her very best, the role offering her the greatest opportunities foj the display of her unusual talents. Special scenery is used throughout the entire four acts, this feature alone being the cause of most favorable comment everywhere —the grand staircase scene in the last act being a marvel of modern stage craft. The supporeing company is a large one and of unusual excellence—the members all being artists of recognized ability and worth in the theatrical profession.

r\$

Norton and Nicholson, a pair of favorite farceurs, will have an important place on the program, enacting a clever little musical piece, and that excellent trio of singers and dancers, Knight Brothers and Sawtelle, will contribute an attractive specialty Blanche Sharp, a delightful little comedienne, will be new to Grand audiences, as "will also Joseph Newman, the young monologuist who is said to remind one of Ezra Kendall, and whose story-telling is credited with being immensely amusing. Mazuz and Mazlett, comedy acrobats, will appear in their original specialty, "The Tramp and the Breakman," and Millie Latina, the beautiful exponent of physical culture, will present an enjoyable act. The bioscope pictures promise to be among the best of the season.

Summer Colds

Summer Colds, Hay Fever, Rose Catarrh and Influenza might be classed as Summer Grip and are most distressing and exasperating, especially for those who cannot indulge in an ocean voyage or a trip to the mountains. The suffering is keen and acute for the stay-at-homes.
