HER GREAT CAPTURE
By IRMA D. WILSON. j

elation. J
Mb* Amy Petteu8ill was In u dread !
fill position. It was U o'clock at nlKht. j
She was alone In the house, and she
bad warning that burglars were coin
lng. There had beeu a ring at the
doorbell, she had answered It. Iiui
found no one. A bit of paper fluttered '
down as she opened the door, and
picking It up, she read. "Burglars to
night."
This bare statement of the fact was
enough to put Miss IVttcngill in a
tremor. She was not Interested to
know why or by whom she had been I
warned, but the thought Hashed through j
her mind that some one of the gatiK
had turned against his fellows either
through a stricken conscience or re- 1
venge.
But what was she to do? The fain ;
ll.v hud left her for the night with
only a maid, and the maid had disap
peared. Had she anything to do with
the proposed burglary? Probably. She
was a new girl and had !>een employed
without a "character." There was" no
telephone connection, the house stood!
half a mile from any other, and the
night was stormy. Nevertheless Miss
ettenglll put on her rubbers, took an
umbrella and was about to go for as- 1
sistance when she heard voices with
out. She stood still In the hall para- 1
l.vzed with terror. Then came a rinc

proposed to rob the house was absurd I

moning all the resolution there was
joit In her, she opened the door.
There stood n man in a rubber suit
from which the rain was dripping.

"Go right up on to the third floor.
There is a bathroom there. You can

Tiie man looked a trifle surprised
but made no objection. Miss Petten
glll .d the way. The prospect of sue
cess of a trap she was laying gave
"?r courage and she beenme momen- j
rlly elated. The bathroom was in i

She sat perfectly still for a long!
while, an hour perhaps, but. heard no
sound except nil ' occasional knocking
above. After awhile even It ceased.
Midnight came. Being tired and worn
with excitement, she threw herself on
a lounge. The excitement kept her
awake for awhile, but In time she
fell asleep.
When she awoke it was broad day
light. She was surprised to see the
sash of a window raised. There was
also a peculiar smell, which she soon
recognized as chloroform. Getting up,
she went across the hall Into the din
ing room. The drawers of the side
board were open and what silver had
been left there was gone. Running
upstairs, she found that the bureau
drawers, closets, etc., had been ran
sacked.
She listened for a sound from the
bathroom, where she had caged the
advance burglar. Hearing nothing, site
ran upstairs, tripped lightly to the
door, listened, tried the knob and
found It still locked. There was a
faint sound as of one breathing in !
sleep.
Miss Pettengill rau all the way to
the nearest house, where she found
the family at breakfast.
"Our house has been robbed!" she
exclaimed and dropped Into a chair.
"Are you Miss 1'ettenglll?" asked a
lady at the head of the table excitedly.
"Yes."
"Oh, heaveus! Has my son been
killed?"
"Your son?"
"Yes. A bit of paper was left here
last night saying that your house
would be robbed during the night. My
son thought It might be a hoax, but
concluded to go to your protection. He
said he wouldn't frighten you by tell
ing you about the robbers. He'd just
go In and be there in case they came."
"Oh, my goodness gracious!"
"Tell me quick. Is he dead?"
"No."
"Where Is he?"
"I locked him in the bathroom."
There was a hurried return to the
plundered house, and the bathroom
was uulockcd. A young man who had
made a bed of the tub emerged, who
without his rubber outfit and Miss Pet
tenglll's distorted Imagination bore no
resemblance whatever to a burglar.
Iudeed, he was a very gentlemanly
young man. He was much surprised
to hear that the house bad been en
tered and apologized for his mistake
In not making himself known as a
friend. Miss Pettcnglll's apology was
simply thut she had been a "ninny."

There Is more Catarrh in this sec
tlon of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be In
curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced It a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced It Incurable. Selene
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by P. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and mucou
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.

?| VERYONE profits indirectly, in physical com
fort and convenience by new steamships, elec
tric lines and the attractions and luxuries af
forded by the growth and development of
modern cities. BUT THE ONLY WAY
YOU CAN PROFIT DIRECTLY AND FINANCIAL
LY is to secure-scme land in an assured rnd permanent
city. Then only can you know the pleasure it gives
with every promised sky-scraper and participate in the
profit of every development made. Think of the op
portunities missed in Seattle since it arose from the
ashes 20 years ago to this year of its exposition and its
300,000 population. The pessimist will ridicule the
Colby and Manchester suburbs and advance the same
objections against them that was made against the
stumps on Pike street, or the timber of Queen Ann Hill
and insist that the city has reached the limit .of itJ
growth. But the growth of every large industrial city in
the country disproves it. Seattle is preeminently the
city of the northwest. Why not secure an acre of land
at Colby or Manchester one of Seattle's most attractive
suburbs? Acre lots 3 1 2x 1 30 which wiil cut into ten lots
31x130.
Real estate is generally conceded the best and
safest investment. This is especially true of near in
acreage in growing suburbs.
Acre lots $200 to $300 ? $10 cash and $10 monthly
THE CHOICEST LOTS ARE BEING SOLD FAST
AND THIS WEEK WILL LIKELY CLOSE THE SALE
