- (continued from previous page)let the dead man slide down the chimney on a rope. When the man of the house heard the noise he said to his wife "Robbers! Robbers!!" Taking his gun in his hand he fired a shot. Then when Jack heard the crash he let the dead man fall against the floor. Then the man said to his wife, "I have him dead now." He called up his servants to bury the body so that nobody would know it. When Jack got them away he went in and went to bed and pretended to be the gentleman, and he said, "The night is awfully cold," as he began pulling and pulling the sheet from under the gentleman's wife. Then after awhile he said, "I forgot to shut the door," and off he went with the sheet to his master. Then his master rewarded him highly and gave him one hundred pounds.
