| herv which Is greatly puzzlfng the people
| OF that quiet hamlet.
| Inst ut what hour the robbery occurred
| no zone knows. It happened somewhere
l1between the hour OF 7 P. NJ sunday ana
rs A. NJ Monday. All thatris known. IS
| that somewhere between those hours the
horL door of the general store Of j. Is.
| BRADLEY was bursted open, the par "hlcn
| held the door closed was thrown down,
| the store was entered and the IRON sa1e
| therein rined Of $27 in cash ana apout
| $40 in checks.
IIllerson's Is just over In Hanover conn-
~. Mr.. Bradley, the proprietor OF e ene
| store lives in HenrlcO, mile or more
from the store. His clerk is Mr. W. l..
| Andrews, who sleeps in the upper story
| Of the store.
a About 6 O'Clock Sunday evening "a neigh,
h,bpr; well known in the community asked
/ Mr. Andrews whom he met IN the W
laee. to change ten-dollar bill for him.:
Mr., Bradley went to the store, opened
the safe. changed the bill. and, as ne
thought, locked the safe. Monday morn
Ing when Mr.. Andrews opened the store
for business, he found the back door
tsretched open. one Of the panels smashed
into splinters and the bar Which sccu'es
! the door lying on the floor.
An examination showed that al the
goods In the store were intact and noun
ING. 40 far as could be determined was
lmissine from the shelves. and counters,
IA THE safe was locked. as usual bur "hcn
| III was opened the money and checks
known to have been in It at O'Clock sun
day evening, were found to be missing.
Mr., Bradley reached his store about )
o'clock yesterday morning and MS soon
| as he learned what had happened he hur-
ried TO Richmond. reported the mater
to the police. that they may DO on the
lookout for the robber, and employed q
detective to work on the case.
There are two or three theories upon
which the detective might work, but the
unoucstoned integrity Of MT. Andrews
and of the neighbor who had the ten
dollar bill changed leaves them but one
to 20 upon, and that is that Mr. An
drws neglected to turn the safes lock after
changing the money for the neighbor and
| that an unseen thief who was already IN
hiding in the store or was looking IN at
a window at the tme observed the clerk 8
| failure to lock the safe and thus saw
an opportunity which at a suitable time,
| later in the night, he took advantage or.
an dafter robbing the safe. quietly locked
It and took his departure. This IS MT.
Bradley's theory and the only one he
will discuss.

May all thy sweethcatts now take care,
And OF thy ravishn1ents beware
See how the soft wind kisses thee.

And fruit trees blow and bend and sigh
When thy glad feet come twinkllhg- by;
And thou dost laugh thro's sparkling tear
And kisses fling Mt hopes and fears,

Beside some blue and lilled stream;

Could her tear-mingled smiles forget.
