what An Alarm Clock Did.
Theft And Comedy
A Paris thief who had purloined a number ot things recently f roTi a house in the Batignolles district was stealthily descending th? back staircase with a bulky picket, anxious to get away as quickly as possible, when to his consternation an alarm clock he had appropriated set up a horrible noise. The thief, frightened nearly out of his wits, hounded down the few remaining flights as fast as his legs would carry him cut into the street, followed by the concierge. His flight, however, was short, for by the time his breathless pursuer had covered a hundred yards or so the thief was safely in the clutches of a policeman.
