Two demure Greytown tartlets had a bad time the ©ther evening, when they were naWbed m the act pf pilfering from the flower garden of a local resident, who for long had suffered from depredators, and nightly; cursed the rascally thieves. The small boy naturally was suspected and the constant suspicion thrown on the small boy isn?t always justified by results. Anyhow, a watch was kept and the two, tarts were caught by an irate houses-holder, who could only, say, "Dog-gone-my-eyes," or something stronger, and then, having lectured the missies on the necessity 01. respecting the sacred rights of l< prot putty," they were allowed to deparH on their bikes.
