PICKPOCKET WHO REPENTED.

The Budapest police have been surprised at the pitmber of persons who within the last few days have surrendered themselves on the plea that they were kleptomaniacs. They did not know how they had come by the complaint, or for that matter by the objects which they found in their possession.

Some light was shed on the matter when a journalist, Herr! Wilhelm Kurvanys, who had been riding in a tramway-car, suddenly foundi that 川 1 hitherto hare waistcoast a heavy gold chain was dangling, and at) the end of the chain was a hand- some gold watch.

Afraid that he would be accused of robbery, but certain that he had not been inside any jeweller's shop, Herr Korvanys repaired to the police.

They handed him to the police doctor, who placed him under ob- servation to learn if he were not insane.

As he gave no other signs of mental disease, an investigation was carried out, his case was link- ed with that of the self-accused kleptomaniacs; and finally it was feamed that a former notorious pickpocket, Dror Wolff, having successfully speculated on the Stock Exchange, was reversing his methods. Repenting of his previ ous misdeeds, he was now present- ing instead of purloining watches and cases of banknotes to unsuspecting strangers.
