ABOUT A YEAR.

and about two years ago employed
young Timpson as n clerk. The lad
worked for him about a year and then
left to enter the employ of the Fidelity

jewelry began to be missed from the
Acker establishment and the police were
notified. No progress was made at FIRST
ana the matter was passed up. Then

sapphire ring, for which the Jeweller
had paid $1,000. was missed. So anxious
was he 10 recover this that he offered
a reward of $500 for It's return.
The police were again called In and
n number OF the employees o fthe plac e
were placed under surveillance, but
nothing could be found to incriminate
any OF them.
II was not until two weeks ago that
young Timpson was suspected. He had
frequently been coming into the place
endeavoring to get some OF his old
friends to insure themselves In the
company which he represented. but Mr..
Acker had never suspected him OF hav-
Ing any connection with the thefts. He
finally reluctantly consented to permit
