OSGOOD Made Him Restore the Articles He Had Taken. HE WEPT FOR HIS RELEASE She, Melted by His Tears, Permitted Him to Depart and Then She Told Her Husband, Who Informed the Police Too Late. A bold sneakthief was thwarted in an attempt to walk away with some of the valuable belongings of Mrs. Whitman Osgood, of 1402 Fourteenth Street northwest, yesterday afternoon, and although he was not arrested, he was frightened off. The would-be robber was a young man, dressed moderately well, and looked and acted as if he was an amateur at the game.

Had Mrs. Osgood not been a sympathetic person, and had the young man not been the possessor of an exceptionally smooth tongue, he would have been lodged bebind the bars. Shortly after noon yesterday Mrs. Osgood, who resides in the third apartment at Fourteenth and Streets, heard noise in her bedroom, and knowing that none of the family was in the house, her suspicions were aroused, and she went to see who was making the noise. When she entered she saw the young man pulling out the bureau drawers and filling his pockets with what he found in them.

He turned toward the door as Mrs. Oggood entered, and when she inquired what right he had in her room, he replied he did not know. The courageous woman displayed a great amount of nerve, and grabbed the intruder by the shoulders as he attempted to brush by her and get out of the door. She forced, him remain in the room and door. He Made Restitution.

After locking the door she commanded him to put everything he had taken from the drawers back in them. The young man was quick to obey and begged her not to tell the police. He emptied his pockets, and Mrs. Osgood found he had not been in the room long, as he had only taken some car tickets and change. If she had not discovered him in time, he would in all probability have taken the other valuables in the drawers.

After Mrs. Osgood had seen he had nothing more, she compelled him to turn his pockets inside out, which he did most willingly, begging all the while that he be let off, as it was his first offense. He told a hard luck story, and proved to be quite a glib-tongued individual, and succeeded in playing upon the sympathies of Mrs. Osgood. After making sure there was nothing missing, Mrs.

Osgood allowed the man to go free, warning him that he had better stay away trom the house in the future. Police Were Informed. When her husband returned she told him of what had happened, and he decided to inform the police of the matter. Bicycle Policeman Simpson, of the First precinet, was notified of the attempt to rob the house. He secured the details of the affair, and after getting as much of a description of the would-be robber as Mrs.

Osgood could give, he investigated the affair, but Do arrest has as yet been made. A colored man twenty-one years old, whose intentions are not the best western in the part of world, this is city, canvassing and is either looking over the coalbins or the pantries the residents living in that various houses in which he thought he vicinity. the made several visits to the could make a haul, but so far as the police can ascertain he has not sucseeded in lifting anything valuable The man has picked out the territory lying between Seventeenth and TwentyBfth Streets and and Streets northwest to do his work in, and consequently the police have received several complaints about his unceremonious visits. Tried Detective's House. Yesterday morning he went to the home of Detective Samuel Burrows, at Twenty-fifth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue northwest, and rapped on the back door.

The big, sturdy detective answered the knock and when the negro saw him he was taken aback, and statamered out, "Do Daisy Johnson work here?" He was informed that the ically that he had that she woman did not, and estateda apologetwas employed there in the capacity of cook. He left the house and disappeared around a corner. Had no one answered the knock on the door the negro doubtless would have entered and helped himself to some of Mr. Burrows' coal. which is stored in the cellar.

Finding he was confronted by a man, be used the old gag of inquiring for some one whom he was quite positive, did not work there. About 1 o'clock in the afternoon the same negro was discovered in a room in one of the flats at 1812 Street northwest, but was frightened off before he could secure any booty. He knocked on the door and inquired for the Johnson girl and, it was thought, went away, but he did not. He lingered in the yard until the door was closed, and then went back and entered the house. The police are investigating these attempted robberies, and hope to bring the marauders to justice before long.

They have the same trouble every year just about this time, when there is a wintry chill in the atmosphere and the thieves find it cheaper to steal than work. Mr. Young Gets a Cane. During his recent trip to Europe Justice Barnard, of the Supreme Court of the District, visited Waterloo battlefield. Among the souvenirs he brought back was a walking stick cut from a tree on the battlefield.

DAVIS CHILD MUST REMAIN IN DISTRICT Justice Barnard So Directs--Orders That Father Be Permitted to See His Son When He Chooses. Justice Barnard yesterday signed an order prohibiting Mrs. Lucy Catherine the divorced wife of Frank F. Davis, Davis, from removing their six-year-old child from the District.

The also stipulates that the child, Messer Davis, shall not be restrained from visiting his father when he chooses. This order will remain in force until the suit brought by Mr. Davis to recover the possession of his children is finally settled. According to the statement made by Mr. Davis in his petition, Mrs.

Davis secured a divorce from him in the State courts of Kansas about a year ago. This divorce, he contends, is not valid, because his wife was not a legal resident of the State she instituted the proceedings. Further than this he says Messer's mother allows him to run wild and unkempt in the streets. Mrs. Davis rests her claim to the care and custody of the child on her decree of divorce, and denies the charge made by ber former husband that the child is not properly cared by her.

The questions involved were recently Justice Barnard by Attorneys Glassie and T. L. Jones before. for Mr. Davis, and Mr.

William M. Lewin, counsel for the defendant. The order of the court also prohibits Mrs. Davis from refusing the child permission to visit his father. ASKS PARTITION OF VALUABLE Proceedings in Equity Filed by Washington Attorneys Asking Intervention of Courts.

STRENGTH AND FOOD. The First Comes From the Last. When proper food is used in sickness the recovery is much more rapid and sure, and a food that is good and easy of digestion is right for anyone. Mrs. H.

L. Gordon, of Corry, was taken down with nervous prostration and heart trouble about a year ago and for weeks it seemed that she could not live. She says: "'The medicine I took for my nerves and heart injured my stomach and I grew steadily worse until I could retain nothing. For weeks I was kept alive teaspoonful of beef tea and one of lime water every hour, and after a while I could not even continue that. I grew weaker and weaker and finally was compelled to use sweet oil to feed the bowels, until one day my daughter suggested that I try Grape-Nuts dry, as I could not retain anything moistened.

After the third day I began to steadily mend, and for weeks and months I ate them three times a day. I began eating Grape-Nuts I weighed 75 pounds; now I weigh 110 and am doing my housework and eating nearly any and everything. I tell everyone I hear complain of poor stomach to try Grape-Nuts. and many have on the strength of my cure."
