| ~ THE LEISURE BURGLAR I! ' «Sir,” said the warden, ‘‘perhaps vou would like to see our Mr. Forrest.” * +Mr. Forrest?” I inquired. “Why, yes,” he said in surprise. “Have you never heard of our Mr. Forrest? No? Why,” he continued, I rubbing his hands together exultingly, } “he is a man the likes of which I wager | You will not lind in another prison in | these states!” ' You are proud of him, eh!” “Proud of him! Proud of him! Well, now, vou may believe it. Ah, 1 tell! yon, sir, he is none of your common every-day-sort of scamps. No,indeed, ! not he! He is a gentleman, every inch of him. DBut you would like to scel him?" *Certainly,” I auswered, *if he be l as interesting ns you would make out.” ’ “‘And more so, sir, 1 assure you,"” he said, enthusiastieally. __~Where do you keep him?" I iu--17 “We set him at work in the library, ‘and a good man he is there, too.” “And leading the way he brought me o the door fimding to the library. i"uusin a moment, he leaned over to me au(iqsaid: ‘ *Sir, if you can, you must ;f;ot him | to tell you of his last piece of work. | A very artistic thing it was, and bold, | too. He's in for five years.” ; And he opened the door. Sitting at | a table reading some paper was a very | leasant, affable-looking gentleman. | {’Vhen I sav gentleman, 1 mean that he could not possibly be taken for any- | thing else. iiis looks, his bearing, the courtly manner in which he rose to greet us as we entered, and the cheery smile with whieh he recogunized our in- | ‘ troduction stamped him at once as one Lorn a gentleman; and that he was | well educated and possessed of an in--1 tellect far above mediocrity was ap- | parent before Ileft. The warden leaving a moment later { to attend to his duties, we spoke casual{ly on several topics. 1 avoiding auy mention of the fact that he there as a { prisover, and wondering how ¢ ever "ecame to commit the erimes—for 1 had | found that iis last erime was not his l tirst one, but that all his life he had | been a burglar, and had, until the éprfisent time, successfully eluded the | search and vigilarce of the officers—- | which had brought him into his pres- | ent position, and given him the unen- | viable reputation he enjoyed; for, when at last I did bring myself to the point Innd somewhat timidly broached the ‘ topic, his interest heightened, and, ioistu;\d of appearing downcast aund i shamefaced, he vather bristied some- | what with pride, aud [ found vo difli‘cuhy in inducing him to give me a | detailed account of the piece of work |at which he was canght.

I stationed myself |at & tree and waited, looking at my ' watch from time to time. and nttering | impreecations on the man for keeping | me so long in the cold; it was near wini ter, and some suocw was alreadv on | the ground, - | “Soon I saw that the man was get- | ting sleepy. and tinally, with a yawn. | he threw away his cigar, laid down his | paper, and, taking his lamp with him, { weunt to another room. Changing my | position I saw the light reappear on | the west side, he having, to the best of -y caleulation, passed through a room adjoining the room where he lirst was, ‘and from that iuto his bedroom. Soon the light went out, and, waiting about half an hour for him to get drowsy, I went to work. : . *I had no trouble widh the window, and opening it lightly crawled into the room. Right ahead of me [ saw a stove, by the light of which I saw that I was in a little recess used for the placing of flowers, which had now been removed. As it was yet much too early to begin work, [ sat down on a chair which I found couvenieatly near aod woited. The room was comfortably warm, the fire giving a cheery glow, and I soon found wmyself growing drowsy. Rememberiog the cigars ‘my host was smoking, I weunt to the table, and to my delight fouud there- | on a box, some of which I immediately | appropriated. They proved te be a | very good smoke, and I contentedly resumed my former occupation of gazing at the coals. As fast as one cigac | was used up I wounld light another, and I Lelieve that I iust have smoked some tweunty or thirty cigars that night. And to that, and to that only, can I attribute the fact of my being heve. But that comes later. | “*As I sat there noises on the streets grew less and less, and soon all was siiant except the ticking of a clock in the room in which I was sitting. 1 beard the old timekeeper strike 12 in slow, somber tones, and then 1.1 begau to be interested in the beat of the pendulum, and unconsciously constructed rhymes that I repeated to my- | {self. Then 1 noticed that everv few minutes it would lose a beat, followed by two close together, then lose another. As the time went on this irregularity increased.and I eane to the conclusion that my host had foreotten to wind his clock.” - _"As I had already acquired an affection for it, I went up to the mantel on which it stood, and opening the dcor felt inside for key. This I soon found | aud began winding, the noise of which | | caused echves to ring over the whole |room. However, I was not to be de- | terred, aud finished wy self-imposed | tagk and agaiu sat down. : | ' “The lire was getting low and the room chilly, and I thought I mieht as ' well proceed to business.
