A Strange Case.

Texas F

Change. .481 Thursday night, while We were Xthd asleep in Our bed, Our wife awoke Us with the startling information that something was going on in the backyard, We at once sprang out of Our'b&l to investigate. Hastily putting ons portion of Our clothes —the suit made by Weston, the popular tailor - We moved through the various rooms in Our residence until reaching the kitchen. There We found the window wide open. The following diagram will explain matters to Our readers more clearly:

: W. D. 8. : \ T. B. W. i «««»-» • •«••••«.*•*» W—Window. D—Door. S—Sink. T—Table. ' B—Broom. W-We.. , The open window stared Us in the face as We stood there ready to sell Our life dearly. There is nothing of the coward about Us. Seeing nothing, and herring no further suspicious noises, We advanced to the window and closed it, and finally returned to Our bed. Who raised that window? What for? Was the object to murder Us and Our wife? Who was the villain? Which way did he escape? It will ever remain a bloody mystery. __ _ j _ i
