and vanished. Just then the jeweler

accused the customer of having taken

protest and Of demands to be searched
that finally the jeweler let him go.
However, he informed the police Of hls
loss. Curiously enough, an intoxicat,
ed beggar woman was arrested In the
course Of the evening. and 1t turned
out that 1t was she who had come
into the jewelers. shop. The man had
arranged outside to give her 20 francs
to come In and take ring, which shc
was to give back to him afterwards.
