Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     A monkey was used by a clever woman thief to commit a series of thefts from jewelers’ shops in Paris. The creature was so tiny that she carried it in a big muff. Then while its mistress was standing at such distance from the counter as disarmed suspicion, the monkey would thrust out a long, spider-like arm and snatch and conceal a ring or brooch. It was a shop detective, hidden in a gallery above and watching with the aid of reflecting mirrors, who at last detected the trick.
