A LUNATiC'S IMITATION.
II Lacked Finish and Got Himself
and q Thief Into Trouble.

A Paris correspondent tells an inter
esting story of how shop thief was
captured recently at the Bon Marche
In circumstances that in all probability
are unique One Of the private detect
ives in the pay of the establishment
noticed man who, with the most
barefaced effrontery, was appropriat-
ing articles of every description. Tho
Individual indeed seemed to make 1T
he or no attempt to keep his operat lions
secret He simply walked from coun-
ter to counter and filed his pockets
with whatever attracted his fancy.
In spite of the strangeness OF the
mans proceedings there was nothing
70 be done but to have him arrested,
and he was given into custody. His in
dignat ton was extreme. He protested
that 1t was most unjust that he should
be interfered with in this way when
other people who were behaving in ex-
actly the same manner We're left I'M
molested, and he pointed 10 stout
gentleman of most respectable appear
ance who he asserted had been lay
ing his hands on all sorts of goods
without resorting to the formality Of
paying for them.
The policeman TO whom he had been
given in charge had been accustomed
to listening to unconvincing explana-
tions and took his prisoner to the sta
ton. A few minutes later the stout
gentleman, also in the care of police
man, arrived at the same destination.
The detective, whose curiosity had
been aroused, had watched the per-
sonage and had found 1t to be true that
he was perpetrating theft after theft
with the utmost dexterity.
After a short investigation he was
recognized to be an expert and notori-
GUS shoplifter, whereas the prisoner
first arrested proved to be lunatic
but recently discharged from an asy-
lum. whose mania took the form of
initiating any person who might hap
pen to strike him. The professional
thief was beside himself with rage at
what he described as the bad luck of
getting into trouble through the vaga-
ries of madman.
