During the noon hour Tuesday a young lady, a stranger to Barrie, coolly entered the home of John Monkman.

A small purse containing between three and four dollars and a key to Mr. Monkman s drug store. was taken from the larger purse. in which other money. concealed by `sales slips. was overlooked. The robbery was not discovered` until seven o clock the same evening but the circumstances surround- ing it are quite obvious and a good description of the girl thief is in `the hands of the police. Entered Another Home Shortly before twelve o clock Miss Ailsa Gray. who lives a short distance from Mr. Monkman, heard a noise downstairs and upon descending the stairs encountered a young lady in the hallway. The stranger inquired if that was where Mrs. lSo-and-So lived and upon receiving a negative answer departed. Later Miss Gray wit- nessed the stranger enter the Monkman home and come out. She thought nothing more of the inci- dent until learning that Mrs. `IMonkn"1an had her purse stolen. This was after supper. . Went to Drug Store The same afternoon. before the robbery was detected the strange girl. said to be aged about twenty, paid a visit to the Monkman store and asked for ladies hanvd'ker- chiefs.
