There is a good deal of talk about

and then departed without disturbing
anything farther, and SO d~exterously did
they do it that the family was not aware
of their presence at all, and only dis
covered that the house had been entered
when they arose the next morning and
found all the doors open and the rooms in
general disorder. 1t looks like the work
of amateurs, and it is time efforts were
made TO entrap them.
