these impressions the expert key-htter
readily makes the keys required. The
balance of the operation is easy.
t.Veranda climbers ara closely re-
lated to the key-ftter as sneaks. They
usually operate at dusk when the oc-
cupants of the dwelling chosen are at

of 7 screws or skeleton keys, a few
wooden wedges and a palette knife. He
wears rubbers or wooden stockings
over his shoes, dresses in dark clothes
and frequently wears a false beard.
Two men work together-one does the
climbing and the other the watching.
While houses with porches or verandas
in the. rear are preferred, a simple
coping over the door is sufficient to
give the climber or ''cat" the neces-
sary hold, the assistant rendering help
by lift. If the climber encounters
a catch on second-story window he
pushes the palette-knife between the
two window frames and throws back
the fastening. If the catch is so con:
trived that the knife can not throw it
back the jimmy is used underneath
the lower sash and pried upward,
which breaks the catch. The window
is then easily lifted. Should the win
dow cord be broken wood
wedge is pressed in between
sash and frame to keep the
window open. All this can be done by
skillful thief in a few minutes. Be
fore beginning his search for booty
the doors leading to the entry or hall
are bolted or locked. If there is
neither bolt nor lock the door is kept
closed by a wooden wedge. This is
done to prevent surprise by the occu-
pants of the place. The trying of tho
doors by the occupants gives the
worker a chance to get out of the win
dow and away before the alarm can be
given.
Breaking store windows for the pur-
pose of robbery has been reduced to a
system of which few people are aware.
1t is bold piece of work and requires
a man of nerve. The old method was
to smear molasses or wax on the win
dow pane, cover it with paper and
force in the glass. The sticking mate
rial prevented the pieces from falling
and making a noise. The large plate
glass windows now in universal use
neeessitate another mode of breaking.
The sharp end of a three-cornered file
is inserted between the wood work and
the lower end of the pane and a quick
turn of the file splits the glass. The
broken piece is quickly pried out with
out much noise. Some windOw-smash-
ers carry an iron plate having han
die like a shield on one side and a
sharp projecting iron rod on the
Other. This is pushed against the
window, breaks in the glass and leaves
an opening large enough to secure a
good grip at the contents exposed for
