On returning to the kitchen half an hodr later, the purse which contained *a considerable sum of money, had disappeared. It was not seen again until the following morning, when it was found on the garden path by the milkman,—empty. Evidently tlm thi«sf had rurrimOjged through tile purse in he ran, mid -thrown it awtiy 'after lib had taken the money. Members pf the family imagined that ’they heart! a light knocking during dihner, biit took no notice of it.
