Some Of the Devices of Thieves.

AS bright an example of perverted ingcauiy
| as can be imagined was developed 10 Paris dur
ing the Exhibition. Three persons it aoems
aro necessary to c!r:y out the trick, tho modu5
operaodi OF which is as follows: 4 mao &c
conpanca apparently by his wife a1d daughter
enters shop in which tho articles lilo about u
little carelcssT. and the gentleman at onco goes
to tho bead assistant behind tho counter and
makes confidential communication. | must
warn you, ho says, that my wife is aiil ctcG
With klepSomanis. Bs SO good as t) watch
her. but CO not say anything to her which
might mako her thlDk you have any suspicious
The older lady i5 consequently watched with
great caro-, all being on tho alert. Some srti,
clio is piltertd IN duo course, tho lhst, noticed,
aud tho gentleman Ga going out quietly and
promptly pays Tor what has been taken. Whils
tho shopkeepor il o0ngratu!eting himself on
tho honesty Of the husband the trio arc making
oft With C. valuable booty secured BY tho young
or lady, whose mo 7emcnts had not been watch
cd at oil. But tho best par. of tho strata.
sem romans to bo told. Ia c,se tho
disappearance of tho articles really stolen
should bo received little too 5000, and
the party DO followed by the inds-
nsns shoopkcopers, nothing is easier than
to express regret aud surprise that there
should have been other mistakes, and to r.
turn tho articles with protuso apologies. BY
this russo considerable degree OF safety is ih.
surod even if tho swinders arc baked cI their
booty; the scheme provides for escape as VOL
as for SUCCESS
Thetts by means of any kinds Of ruso are bad
enough, but horo they arc imneasurablg
worse. A Sister of Charity called on ismy
10 Paris to enlis: their syppathes for the poor
she was most pleasant and attractive 10 her
manner. Eventually sho Induced those pres
eut to join au act OF devotion, and tho party
koclt side ty side 10 the drawing room while
tho Sister offered prayer. From tho tiuc o.
her entering the house. and during this act sho
had kept her hands crossed upon her bosom.
When, therefore, 10 the middle Of tho prayer
lady felt somebody's hand 10 her pcckst, i,
required some nerve to seizo tho sister and oc.
cuse her Of theft. This she nevertheless did
aud then the mystery was solved. The crosseu
arms were Of wax, and being partially hidden
u0icr tho sleeves, seemed real while the acua!
hands we're at liberty to enablc tho lady to pur.
sHo her fraudulent calling.
