Of my experience. The other day there
drew up at my door . fashionable VIC

somely dressed ladies', evidently mother

my stock of watches they finally Sc

one, and paid for it from q well-flled
purse carried by the elder woman.
Thinking I had q bonanza in my Gus

it over. Before my very eyes the elder
OF the two took up q valuable pin con-

placed it quickly in her satchel.

Caupht Nv Electricity.

One of the members of the police
force of Boston is a thorough electric
ian. and when off duty is constantly
experimenting with captive lightning.
lie has his residence wired from attic
to cellar, and makes the electric fluid
do all that it is capable of therein. For
the past few days, says the Boston
Heru ID. his milk has been stolen, can
and all. He made up his mind that
the thief must be captured and called
to his aid his favorite electrical appll-
ances. The milkman had been in the
habit of leaving tactical fluid on a little
shelf beside the ear door Of the house.
In order to reach this door. it was nee
essary to pass by the front entrance
and go down an alleyway some fifty
feet long. Mr.. Electrician went to
work and connected his wires with the
shelf, so arranged the circuit that the
removal of the can from its recepticle
would strike a gong in the dining-room.
Yesterday morning he went home ear
" and took up his position under the
gong. Soon he heard the milkman
stop and leave the can in its place. lie
waited patiently for further develop
ments, and just as he was dropping in
to a doze, zip! whir-r-r went the gong
over his head. To spring from his
chair and dart for the front door was
but the work of a second, and he land
ed on the sidewalk at the alleyway en-
trance in season to nab the marauder,
who vas coming out with the can in
his grasp. lie did not take him into
custody. but it is fair to assume that
there was not dust enough left in the
fellows coat to cause irritation in a
midget's optic. The fellow will prob
ably not attempt to purloin that Off
