A burglar who sought to be polite to his woman victim, got badly fooled when he picked Mrs. Elsie Clayton, of New York. She returned to her apartment and found the burglar ransacking her rooms. “ Pardon for intrusion,” he said, hut proceeding systematically on hi ; job. “ Pardon hell,” replied the lady, who slapped his face. The thief then ceased to be a gentleman, and .struck her. She - kicked his shins, and soon they roughed and tumbled like two Melbourne wrestlers, she screaming all the while. Four janitors lugged the burglar to the police station.
