The offender wasn't at all an- xious to pay damages in physi- cal •retribution, so immediately drove off, taking the spare jacket with him still draped over the hood of his car. Girl Crook Is Too Sentimental Shortly after the local church clock had chimed two Axil, a trimly built, pretty girl o twen- ty-four slipped quietly out of the back door of the little Ea- 'Varian farmhouse where she lodged, mounted her bicycle and rode off through the dark- n ess of the fine summer's night, She rode swiftly, without lights, carefully avoiding the main road by cutting through side lanes which led from the village. She knew that she was unlikely to meet a policeman or a belated wayfarer there, Twenty minutes later she reached' her destination — a fair- sized, isolated house overlook- ing a stream. She was going to lob it. She knew that the wealthy widow who owned it was away in Austria on holiday for at least a, fortnight. Coolly, with a skill born of long practice, the young woman burglar used a jimmy to force a kitchen window at the side of the h 6 us e, She scrambled through noiselessly. Once inside, she rapidly lift- ed" some jewellery worth about $600 and a wad of money which she found concealed at the back of a desk in the widow's down- stairs sitting-room. She also took a few silver spoons from a sideboard drawer. Then she calmly and silently helped herself to a glass of. Rhine wine before continuing her hunt for loot in the upstairs rooms. She found little there worth taking — only a fat wal- let at the rear of a dressing- table drawer. She did not pause to examine its contents. Time was short. She must quit the house and speed unseen back to the farmhouse before daylight came.

She smiled grimly as she heard the fat farmer and his wife snoring in the room below hers, How astonished this honest old pair Would be if they learned that their well-spoken girl lodger Was a professional burglar! It was only after she had reached the comparative safety Of a big German City some days later that the girl examined the contents of the wallet clotely. A cursory inepection had shown that it dontained letters of some kind. Idly one afternoon, after plan- ning another burglary that night, she began to read the leaers, They were passionate lode let- ters Written to the widow by bet late husband before their marriege. The girl burglar was tough, but she felt strangely touched by what the dead lover had written. And when she cattle to a Phrase in which he had sworn his "eternal love, no matter What the future they hold," she made a resolve. Those let,ers must be returned to the plate Where alto had found them. And so it was that a woman crook showed a redeeming fern turd by returning to the liaise of the Worrian she had robbed arid putting back the treasured rove letters, Acting on impulse, slit also returned the widow's jewellery arid spoons Which, she felt, Might have been gifts to the Widow from her late husband.
