For several seconds they stared at each other. "ben the burglar leaped down the steps and fled through the _ ffont door. Gladys called to her mother, who ran upstairs in her apron and with her sleeves’ rolled up. “A glance at the dresser showed her that her gold watch, abracelet and her daugh- ter’s locket and «chain. had been stolen.

ACTS. A PICTURE... SHOW HERO ROLE: He Guides Man ‘to His Home|F With ‘Revolver to Apolo- “gize, but-Victim Bolts. .

Dwellers in the 4000 block on Russell avenue yesterday afternoon enjoyed a thrilling, though filmless, outdoor moy- ing picture show, when Louis A. .Paule, owner of several houses in the netgh- borhood, marched down : the - street, guided by a revolver held close. to the back of his head by George: A. Boyd.: Like a pirate making His\victim walk! the plank, Boyd grimly pressed the re- Volver’s muzzle against Paule’s occi- pital region, commanding him to move straight toward the Boyd home, at 4049 Russell avenue, there: to apologize to. Mrs, Boyd for utterances made in a quarrel about‘ shutters on the ‘house next door. Paule marched on, like the soul of old John Brown, from the. corner of Russell) and Thurman avenues: almost to Boyd’s house. Then he stopped. : “Go on!” shouted Boyd, and thumped him on the left side of the head’ with the butt of the revolver. Paule went # few steps, then stopped and began to remonstrate. Another blow, ~ Harder than the first, almost pushed apart the sutures on the right side of his skul The same business,- as stage folks would say, Was repeated at the st uf the’ Boyd yard. The third blow was on the top of Paule’s cranium and was delivered with such force that Paule sat down and studied astronomy - for a moment. Then he got up and darted into the passageway between the Boyd house and the one to the West, owned by himself. Boyd fired a ‘shot, but sastriie say | he did not.sim eat Paule.’ The shot o made Paule run fastér, and Boyd, who ia of substantial bulld, sat down on his -porch, and was. there when a. policemah arrived.’ Te accompanied the police- man to the Magholia Avenue Station. | Paule’s house at 451- Russell avenue’ :.

Indian summer is_ here. ‘The little green bug arrived in St.} Louis last night and no further proof is, needed. He is the hardy annual of:-the: insect world and he would sooner fight an wlentess light globe than -eat. . Business on Franklin avenue, between Seventeenth street and Jefferson ave- nue, was practically suspended for near- ly’ an Nour. In front of Cuddy & Lamb’s<store at Eighteenth street;-the swarti was so densé that relief was sdught by turn- ing out the arc lamp.at the entrance... It was quickly found that the bugs re- fused to be cast into outer darkness. They flew into the store and made, themselves so obnoxious that cusfomers and clerks rushed outside to escape them. Then the lights inside the store were turned off and the outer lamp was relit. ane proprietor of a store in the same neighborhood, and Pupkin Bros., in the next block, also tried in vain to disperse the bugs by alternately lighting and. extinguishing their lamps. ' Reports of the antics of the little green bugs .came. from many. other eections.. There were millions of therh downtown, reliable statisticians said, and several automobilists assert- ed that the insects were so thick that they couldn't see their speedometers and: consequently were unable to tell whether they were speed HMmit. - an the districts iNuminatea by wes amine only nein Rect league. bugs
