If I should die to-night And you should come to my cold corpse and kneels Clasping my bier to show the grief you feel--I say, if I should die to-night And you should come to me and there and then Just even hint of paying me that ten, I might rise the while; But I'd drop dead again. EDITHA'S BURGLAR. FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT. DITHA was always rather a queer little girl. She was very fond I J of reading the newspapers, because she found so many curious things in them. She found that there were actually men who lived by breaking into people's houses and that such men were called burglars. One morning at breakfast she spoke to her father about them. "Papa, dear, what do you think of burglars--as a class?" Her papa gave a little jump in his chair. "Bless my soul! I think they're a bad lot, Nixie. Never mind about the burglars." "Well, I can't help thinking that there must be one good burglar among all the bad ones, and I can't help being rather sorry, even for the bad ones." It was strange that the first thing she heard, when she. went up to her mamma's room, was something about burglars. "Ah, mem! if you please, mem! what a blessing it was they didn't come here " "Who, Janet?" "The burglars, Miss, that broke into Number Eighteen last night, and carried off all the silver, and the missus's jewelry." "If burglars ever do break in here, Nixie," said her mamma, "whatever you do, don't scream or make any noise." And that very night Editha 'met a burglar. Just before dinner her papa dashed up to the front door in a cab, and, jumping out, ran upstairs to mamma. "Kitty, my dear, I am obliged to go to Glasgow." "Oh, Francis.
