THE LIMIT OF CHEEK.
Brown is a brave man, and when the other night he heard a noise downstairs he promptly arose, took a poker, and proceeded to investigate the cause. On reaching the hall, the light of the candle he carried revealed a burglar in the act of leaving the house. “Hi!” cried Brown. “Come back!” The burglar turned and gazed in surprise at Brown. “What’s the matter?” he inquired. “Have I forgotten anything? Ah! of course. The silver candle-stick you are carrying. Thank you so much.” Then, before the astonished Brown could realise what had happened, he seized the candle stick and vanished into the night.
