The Thief
Stolen milk is sweetest, says the eld proverb, and somebody lias been stealing milk in Scarborough; or, rather, he has been running oIT with the cream.
Complaints have been made in Ihe Palsgrave district that the bottles of milk have been tampered with, and housewives have found holes in the lids and only half the usual, amount of cream on the milk.
The thief has not yet been caught, hut lie is known to the police. He is a very little chap, a blue-tit which taps on the cardboard lip of the milk bottle till lie has perforated it, and then helps himself.
