A PRECIOUS PLAYTHING.
A three-year-old child was found on a door-step playing with a cheque for £2OOO intended for the weekly pay of the Notts and Derby Territorials, camping at Clumber, Nottingham (says a London paper). The cheque was sent by the Army authorities and along with other letters was delivered in the letter-box of the Capital and Counties Bank, Wirksworth, Derby* shir©. She had seen the postman put the letters in the letter-box, and putting her arm in the opening she extracted an envelope. It was from this she took the cheque.
