What the local police say is a brand new confidence game and the cleverest one in some years was practiced recently on a prominent firm of jewelers with the result that the firm is short about $6,000 worth of diamond brooches. The particular and interesting point in the matter is that the thieves got away with the jewels without ever placing themselves in the slightest jeopardy. They did some telephoning and utilized the services of an innocent confederate?a messenger boy. As the first step in the scheme, one of the thieves called up Reed & Barton by telephone. He gave the name of Frank Headdley, general manager , of the Interborough Rapid Transit company. "I wish to select a gift for a bride," he-said. "I am rushing to get ready to attend the wedding and I have not time to come to your establishment. I should like a diamond brooch to cost about $1,000. Will you be kind enough to send one of your men to my office with four or five brooches, so that I can make a selection?" The representative of the firm who answered the telephone was, of course, most pleased to assent. A messenger was dispatched at once with brooches valued at $6,000. When he reached Mr. Headdley's office he was informed that the Interborough head was out. He returned with the brooches to Reed & Barton's shop. A few minutes after his return "Mr. Headdley" was again reported to be on the telephone. "I'm very sorry," said the voice on the 'phone, "that I was momentarily out of my office when your man called with the brooches. I am so busy getting ready to go to the wedding that I have had engagements overlapping each other all day. Would you be kind enough to send your man with the brooches to niy home, Xo. 6 Fanshaway, Yonkers?" Again the firm was most glad to oblige. The messenger was dispatched to Yonkers. He found Mr. Head' dley's home without trouble and delivered the package containing the brooches, taking a receipt from the butler. Mr. Keaddley, the butler explained, had not yet returned from the city. Soon after the messenger from the jewelers had departed the telephone in the Headdley residence , rang. "This is the office of Reed & Barton," said the voice on the 'phone. "One of our messengers has just de ifS!

Th< package of brooches has not beei heard from since.?New York specia to Milwaukee Journal. Adam Grimes, who lives on Mr. D M. Eaves's place, says that he has a chicken with four legs and three feet, Two of the legs merge into one at the end of which "double" leg there is a foot?thus accounting for the phenomenon of four legs and three feet. The chicken is two months old and frequently makes use of the extra pedal extremity.
