A rapid investigation showed the de
tective that Inspector Boodle's desorip
tion of the burglary was absolutely cor
rect. The second burglary corresponded
with the first in every detail. It was ox
ecuted with the same skill and daring:
the thieves had forced with the same
dexterity and equally strong plate safe,
and had removed with the same rapid
ity and nolselessness an equally large
amount of plate and valuables, and,
nally, they had left as few traces by
which they might be followed up and
{dentified. Sergeant Collie, after three
hours’ most careful and intelligent
