During the past few months Grocery- man Thomas E.

Although none of these depreda—tions have equaled in extent or 13111 pitude’ the Jackson jewelry store robbely, yet they sufficed to fill the usually tranquilfibreast of thelong- suffering Gregory with'a burning de- sire for revenge and an inflexible de- termination to ferret outth’e guilty wretches and visit upon them such-sum- mary punishment as would. “fit the crime.” Accordingly he organized himself into a secret service detective bureau, filled both sides of a double- barreled gun with buckshot and placed the weapon in a. convenient place near his bed 1n his living apart— ments over the store. To make sure that the marauder, on his next mid-~ night provision hunt, should be assured of awarm reception, be procured an actlve and energetic bull-dog in the full strength and vigor of pretty good health, which he Christened “Old Sleuth” and placed in the store as an alarm attachment. the “alarm” went off in the middle of the night, startling the vigilant Hawk- shaw who had been lying awake in his sleep, and who instantly sprang from his bed, pulled his trousers on hind- side foremost, grasped his shotgun and bounded down-stairs and out to the rear of the store. Near the rear corner of the building he espied a suspicious ‘ appearing figure dimly outlined against the darkened sky, standing motionless and apparently listening. Without a moment’s hesitation Gregory raised his trusty gun, took steady aim and fired, then instantly started on a run around the building in the opposite direction, cocking the other barrel as he ran, intending to head off the wounded burglar whom he had distinct- ly seen to quiver violently and start to stagger away the instant the first shot was fired. A thorough search of the entire premises, however failed to re- veal hide, hair or trail of the burglar, and the whole matter of his strange at once assumed an aspect so singular as to be positively mystifying and thrilled the bewildered Gregory with “fantastic terrors never felt before.” The explanation of the mystery was not arrived at until Gregory next morning discovered his best Sunday the ground about ten'feet from ahitch- ing post at the corner of the store, where it had been hung by his young son. The lad had forgotten to take 5‘11- .back to the closet before dark, and the keen-sighted detective, mistaking it for a burglar, had shot it full of holes and blown it off the post without dis- covering his blunder. —.....—_——_.—— 0.; OBITUARY- Mrs. Amos N Raymond, an aged resident of theN.
