M. HIGH’S HOME; NURSE SCARES HIM AWAY “Raffles,” in Evening Clothes, Enters Home on Peachtree. Turning from the bedside of her pa tient, Mrs. Harriet M. High, 528 Peach tree street, Tuesday morning at o'clock. Mias Annie.Painter, the trained nurse, saw behind her a third person In the sick chamber, a guest not Invited. Bending over the dresser and explor ing Its upper drawer stood a burglar. And such a burglar! It was "Raffles” In real life, a allk-hstted, swallow- tailed "Raffles," who went about hla work as calmly as Hornung*s hero could ever have done. So quietly had the nurse eat beside her patient'that the burglar had failed to notice her as he entered, and when the turned and confronted him It was hard to eay which waa the more sur prised. The burglar was the first to act. Springing to ths electrolier, he turned the button and left the room In dark ness. Ths nurse started up with an exclamation, but the flash of an electric bull's-eye lantern blinded her and she sank back. Sit down!" thundered the burglar. "Don't you dare move.” Struggle In Darkness. Rut the brave woman remembered that In the upper drawer of the dresser ley a revolver, and eho darted toward It. The burglar must have raught the glitter of the weapon ae lie ransacked the drawer, or he divined the woman's purpose. He sprang to the dresser and n the darkness the two struggled to push each other way and secure the weapon. For a moment they battled In the darkened room, while Mrs. High, who Is recovering from sickness folio a - Ing the death of her husband, Mr. J. M. High, several weeks ago, lay trembling and helpless, suffering every fear that could come to a woman In such a crisis. The burglar gave up hla search, and. dashing the nurse aside, ran from the room. On Ills way downstairs he picked up a set of beautiful furs which he had found In Ills search of the house. The back door, by which he had entered tie* house, had been cautiously left v i le open by Raffles, and he ran out with his booty. Daughter Gave Alarm. By this time the noise In her mother's room ha.l aroused Miss Hattie May Hlgh, the young daughter of the in valid, who was asleep In another mom Miss High, who Is a debutante ,,f last season, ran to a veranda and screamed for the police. The burglar dropped his booty nnd disappeared through an al ley. Bicycle Policeman Pearson was walk ing hi* beat two blocks away, at How ard and Peachtree streets. He had let his wheel at the station on account ot the muddy streets after a rainy day, but he sprinted toward the High home and reached It within a few seconds. The burglar was nowhere to be seen. An Investigation was made and ;t was found that every room had been ransacked by the gentleman In the silk hat. He had dropped the greater por tion of his loot In his dash for liberty, but he had carried away about 325 ut cash which he had collected from va rious sources In his search of the rooms. . k Mrs. High hsd been ill for some time following an operation and the shock greatly unnerved her. She had engaged the services of Sits* Painter, of 224 Ivy- street, who Is a skilled nurse, and who proved herself a worthy guardian of her patient. No claw to the Identity of the "gen tleman burglar” was found by the po lice. The only description to be gained was from the momentary glimpse caught by Miss Painter before he hail turned off the light. "He wax a nice-looking man In a silk hat,” she said. "RAFFLES” LUCKY TO ESCAPE; NURSE IS A CRACK SHOT If Miss Annie Painter, the trained tfuise who battled with the "gen tlemanly burglar” early Tuesday morning In the darkened room In the High residence, had obtained the revolver which both she and the burglar were seeking In n bureau ilrawer, the body of the latter would In all prob ability now be reposing In an undertaking establishment. • Miss l’alnter Is a crack plstnt shot and she declares she would have put her skill to the test In winging the festive msrauder, ’ Just ns Miss Painter started to reach Into the bureau drawer for the pistol, thg burglar Interfered nnd forced her away. Ha made a move is though to get the pistol, hut ns It was covered with some other articles, he fnlled to find It. Miss Painter thought he had the pistol, however, until after he fled from the house; then she found It In the drawer. "If that burglar hadn't been «o Impudent and rude," said tnr pi. i- ty nurse. "I would have had a splendid opportunity to test my skill as a pistol shot. I would certainly have taken a shot at him and 1 don't think he would have been able to run so fast, either. I think he was a mean old thing to act at he did anyway." When asked If there waa any clew to the burglar, Miss Painter smiled and replied: "No there la none. But I urn thinking of enlisting the services of the "Millionaire Detective."
