Everything comes to him who waits.
Ralph Williams, 1132 Madison street,! waited half of the night for a burglar. I
What he did to him would make a
great motion picture. Incidentally his
I presence of mind prevented two burglaries in the house.
One night last week at the dinner
table in the home of Ralph Williams someone mentioned burglars. Ralph, who is by day a clerk in the haberdashery owned by Jacob Fox and by
night , a student and follower of certain great and realistic writers forth

graphic description of what a rough neck burglar might expect from him.
Late that night Williams awoke from
la sound sleep with but one idea in his
usually ail comprehensive mind. With what he believes to have been previ
ous knowledge he looked toward the
window by his head. On the sill he
saw a hand, not of the ordinary lllly
white kind, but a monstrous nightmare of a hand that resembled the ones you
see pictured on the editorial pages of

window down onto the ahln of the in

before the other parts of his anatomy.
With a yell the man of mystery Jerked '
up the window, pulled out his foot and' departed. Sometime later Williams'

Williams brought up the subject and again told what he would do in case of
a Second Visit. He was . awmiefieA In
the night by the same state of excitement. He looked toward the window
expecting another leg but nothing'

moonlight. He sneaked to the door and listened, '
he searched the house, a dumbell In i one hand and an Indian club in the I
other. Finally he took his vlgilence into a morris chair at the library win- 1
