Unusual Thief Visits Verne

Steals Bible From Top of

Talk about stealing red-hot stoves,
most unusual theft when some one
stole a Bible from off the top of one of
his show cases.
What common ordinary thief
would want with Bible is more than
Summers is able to figure out. He
hopes, however. that it will lead him
to paths of rectitude
But that is not ALL this unusual
thief also stole a bottle of perfume
from the store. Judging from this fact
the thief not only has religious in
clinations, but he is of an aesthetic
nature.
But to cap the climax the Hammond
well. for the last thing he took was
a camera worth $25. vern Summers is
convinced that the same thief stole all
of the articles he has lost, for the
reason that this is the first time in
several years that he has lost things in
this manner.
Summers fears that he is the victim
of a confirmed kleptomaniac, and bases
his fears on the fact that no one would
steal Bible for its intrinsic value.
The kleptomaniac steals for the love
of stealing, and because he cannot help
taking things he gets an opportunity
to lay his hands on. A careful watch
is being made in the hope that the mys-
terious thief can be caught.
