THE TREASURED BONDS GONE.
Mrs. Packard and the Police Trying
10 solve n Mystery.

NEW YORK, Jan. lit is really mar
vel to Mrs. Camelia Packard and her
daughter, Miss Cora Packard. how their
studio in the building at 939 Eighth Ave
nue. came TO be robbed of United States
bonds, an insurance policy, a note, and
other valuable papers. The detectives who
are investigating have not expressed an
opinion They cannot for their amaze
ment has paralyzed them.
Mrs. Packard and her daughter are ar
lists. and they have a particularly hand
some studio They formerly kept their
valuable papers in an envelope. 1t occur
red to them few months ago that in case
of fire they might lose them. So they hit
upon most effective plan,
Mrs. Packard made q silesia bag with
a draw-string long enough TO be placed
around ones neck. Then she made peg
on the back OF her foldingbed and on this
she hung the bag, in which she placed the
papers In case CT fire all she had 10 do
was TO reach around, get the bag, and
place the string over her neck.
There was another thing that bothered
the PackaTds. That had 10 do with the
only key to their studio. They hit upon
another excellent scheme. They drove a
nail Just below the letterboN on the door
and when they went out they hung the
key On this. After the adjustment of these
serious troubles Mrs and Miss Packard
settled down to the enjoyment of life.
They remember seeing the bag about two
+ weeks ago. They looked for il yesterday
/ in order TO count up the coupons and found
/ that il was missing. They haven't the
! faintest idea who could have taken II, and
/ they think it most extraordinary.
