Thieves who can almost hear the hounds of the law baying at their heels are apt to deposit their booty in strange places, and there seems little doubt that the jewels, valued at £2.000, which have been found by upholsterers while reconditioning the old cushions of a London taxi cab, were, thrust there by someone who did not wish to be taken with stolen property in his possession. It is said that the jewels must have been there for years, and it is amusing to think of the number of people who must have sat upon that small fortune in gold and gems with no other thought than that the eushion was a trife on the lumpy side. One feels sorry, however, for the cabman who carried such a pre cious burden for so long and in the end failed to find it and reap the reward which would have been his bad he taken it to Scotland Yard. It seems a particularly hard piece of luck.
