WOMEN DOG TIIIEVES.

Stolen on London Streets and

Dog thieves have been very busy
veceutly in the neighborhood of Oxford
Street, Regent Street ami • piecadilly,
says the London Daily Mail.
The pollee believe that there Is an ex-
pert, and highly organized gong at
work. The ordinary dog thief with hls
eack for sniall dogs and a stout piece of
rope for 1110 terger ones, is always at
work; but recent losses point to a more
daring method of appropriation. It Is
believed that many of the thefts of
smaller dogs are coin -Milted by women.
They hang about on the outskirts of
crowds of ladies looking into tho shop
windows, and -the small leerier Is snit -
ped up and either concealed under the
clog!: or the thief halls a passing han-
som. As the female thieves are Invari-
ably well dressed,. the 1002 121211 they

they alweys command a good 'market on
