Describing q Thief.

A while ago lady in passing down a
crowded thoroughfare was relieved of
her pocketbook. It was two hours be-
more of search, and returning to places
where she might have carelessly left it,
it occurred to her suddenly that she had
been jostled by five or six men at street
corner. The circumstance made no par
ticular impression upon her mind at the
time, only that she glanced around with
the thought that the street was un-
usually crowded, and that the men were
taking up more room than was neces-
sary. She reported her loss to the police,
and in relating the incident she de-
scribed three of the men so accurately,
their features, their clothing, and even
the design on one of their neck handker-
chiefs, that they were recognized imme-
diately as being the most notorious pick
pockets in the city.
The Pocketbook was found rihed of the
money, but with the valuable papers in
tact, in the engine room Of prominent
building. The engine room had sky
light that opened into the alley near the
corner where the men had crowded her.
They kindly lifted the screen and drop
ped it upon the marble floor near the en-
gineer. She was not indebted to the art
of observing closely for the loss or the
return of the pocketbook, but a slight
hint was given of its value in the unveil-
ing of the brain picture, of which she
was unconscious Of receiving. Chicago
