He found that the boys had repaint-

After they had been taken under the

Mrs. Handley herself was IN the
house all day except between and

visit No one seems to have the slight
est idea when the robbery occurred,
as It was not discovered until about
$3.50 o'clock At that time Mrs. Hand.
ley noticed that the second story
seemed in an unusually rumpled con-
dltion. Upon investigation she found
that most OF the articles Of value In
that part of the. house were missing,
Miss Handley losing an entire suit
besides other things.
Second only to the mystery as to
the time the house was entered. Is the
method by which the thief got into
the place without detection. Mrs. Hand
ley says the back door was closed and
the gate to the high back fence was
locked.
