The Gentleman Burglar
Published Jan 01, 1900
The area had been hit with an epidemic of robberies perpetrated by the notorious gentleman burglar. One night Sadie woke and shook Hymie. "Hy, there's a burglar in the house," she said.
"There is not," Hy said sleepily. "Go back to slep, stupid."
Just then a man sprang from inside a closet. "There is too," he declared. "Now apologize to the lady."
