The burglar entered softly by way of the window, and; looked cautiously around him. His eyes lighted at once on a piece of paper which lay on the table, with the words, "The burglar," boldly written thereon. “Meant for. me, evidently,” ho said, as he started in somewhat uncomfortable surprise, He picked It up aud this la what he read :
“I know you are coming to-night, never mind how. If you will take away this parcel and lose It effectually, you are Welcome to what else you can find in the room.”
Wonderingly, he opened the parcel, but at once his face cleared. '“Poor ohap, poor chap !” he murmured. “I’ll „take ’em for ’im, right enough, and let ’im off easy. I’m a father me-self.”
Tho contents of the parcel were as follows : One toy trumpet, one drum (large), one toy concertina, one tambourine, one musical-box, one mouthorgan, three tin whistles, one air-gun.
