BRAVE WOMAN RUTS
BURGLARS TO FLIGHT
Mrs. Avis Boyce, Armed With
Pistol, Defends Her Home
and Drives Would* Be
Robbers Off.
Atlanta, Ga., uctober 8.—
With pistol in hand and stim¬
ulated by rare presence of mind
and undaunted coinage, Mr *
Avis Boyce, the beautiful young
daughter of Dr. M. 0. Martin, 84
Hill street, early Satuiday even¬
ing chased two negro burglars
from the premises of the Martin
home. Mrs. Boyce not only hold
the pistol ip her hand, but
shot it at the fleeing forms and
of , the ,. opinion . . that one of the
bullets . took efleet. .
h was about 9 ..’clock, white
Mrs. Boyce, her little six-year
old daughter and a friend, Miss
Mabel Oombea, were alone m
t ie house, that a-noise of heavy
footsteps . . . . heard , • the .. vest!- ..
was in
bole of tl.ob.ll. Believing that.
some bcl«t„<l . . , . .nd intoxicated
wayfarer had mistaken the loca¬
tion of his home, Mrs. Boyce at
first, paid no attention to the
noise in the hall.
Several moments of absolute
quiet elapsed and the young la¬
dies inside the house had con¬
cluded that the unknown visitor
had taken his departure, when
the hail door was suddenly shak
en as if it would be burst in.
Mrs. Boyce stepped toward the
door to open it, but thought
a second time and demanded to
know who was there.
No 'answer came. Tipping to
the door she raised the shade and
saw the figure of a brawny negro
than. Realizing that a burglar
was attempting to force an en¬
trance into the house Mrs. Boyce
stepped back to see if the rear
door was closed and to her aston¬
ishment found it unlocked. Hard¬
ly had she shot the bold when a
footfall wns heard on the back
veranda. The next moment the
knob was tried.
Going buck into the house the
brave young woman picked up a
pistol and quietly wended her
way through the rooms of the
house to a window opening upon
the back veranda. Olimbingout
the window Mrs. Boyce stepped
lightly upon the veranda, some
ten feet from the door at which
the intruder had been working
A glance revealed that the man
hud left that spot, but an inspec¬
tion of the premises from her
vantage point showed Mrs. Boyce
the figure of a negro man crouch¬
ing low under her bathroom win¬
dow. The light from a neighbor¬
ing house shone squarely on the
negro and after taking careful
aim Mrs. Boyce fired her pistol.
With a scream of pain the un¬
known burglar vaulted a fence
and joining his companioiMn the
front yard took off down the
street, as fast- as his legs would
carry him. After a parting shot
at the fast retreating men Mrs.
Boyce went hack into the ,house
and calmly calling, up police
headquarters gave the officers on
duty an account of the affair.
Gall Officers Brannan and Nor¬
ris hurried to the scene and made
a careful investigation, hut were
unable to apprehend the burglars.
Contrary to the reputed custom
of women who have faced danger
unflinchingly Mrs. Boyce did not
appear the least nervous after
her experience.
This is not the first time that
Mrs. Boyce lias demonstrated un¬
usual qualities. It was entirely
due to her tireless efforts that
Governor Terrell some months
ago commuted the sentence of
Bareli Patterson, a young man
bold in the Tower on the charge
J murder, from hanging to life
'nuprisonment. Since that occa¬
sion she lias been known as one
if the good angels of the Fulton
county jail.

Horrible Flowers.
From the Minneapolis Journal.
“Look out,” said the farmer,
compressing Ins nostrils with
forefinger and thumb, “there’s
skunk cabbage growing ahere.”
They hastened past the skunk
cabbage patch, and finally, when
it was possible to breathe, freely,
the farmer said:
“Skunk cabbages are uot the
only foul smelling plants. Sta
peiias’smell so much like carrion
that bluebottle flies often lay
their eggs on them, mistaking
the thick, fleshy flowers for dead
birds or decomposing kittens.
’’The raflle.#i of Sumatra
smelts so strong that it is always
enveloped in a buzzing cloud of
Hies. It is a giant flower, a yard
in diameter, and its odor makes
you think of glue factories, garb¬
age converting plants, fertilizer
works.
“The cactus gran diflora and
the pedaria fast id a are tropical
flowers of so terrible a smell that
the folriner kills all other growths
within ten yards of it, and the
latter, with one whiff, gives a
human being a headache.”
A cold is much rnorfe easily
cured when the bowels are open.
