A POLITE BURGLAR.
CHASED BY A GIRL. Awakened by a noise in her room, Miss Mollio Cardwell, the 21-years-old daughter of a dentist living at Maidstone, England, found a man with a flashlamp searching the wardrobe. The man apologised for having disturbed her, bade her “good-night,” and ran from the room. Miss Cardwell jumped out of hed and went after him. On the landing the man met Miss Cardwell’s sister, and was so frightened that he gave a yell and fell down the stairs. He escaped through the diningroom window. Mr Cardwell said: “My daughter was certainly very plucky, and her coolness seems to have unnerved the intruder. Before entering her room he had ransacked mine. Ho laid out the silver iu the dining-room and had smoked many cigarettes, the ends of which were left all over the place.”
