An Incident Showing How Neatly and How ElVoctlvoly THey do TUolr Work. lacMillan'B Sonio live or six years ngo , boitjg on visit to Pixiia , I wont tu scon friend , French gontleuinn 1 had known fur iuiy years , who , with his \vifo and > nly diniglitor , lived on Second in a nnnll house in thu Funbonrg St. C3or- niiin. I found the family , ono and all , in the ( jroiitent jiossiblo oxcito- nont. During the night their domi cile hnd boon broken into , and prop erty to the value of about ! K,000 ) 'rixnca ( ill'JOO ) . consisting ot plate , jewels , money and bonds , had buon stolen. My friend was by no means a rich man , and thu loss was to him n rory serious ono. The stnuigo part of the ull'iiir was that no ono scorned .o have the slightest idea by whom or H > \v the lost things had been taken. They were kept in n largo iron-clampod chrst , which was never moved out of the aclle n manger , and which was found in its usual place next morning , but with the lock forced open. Thu servants of the family were only two in number nnd consisted of an oldurly man and his wife , who hnd been in the siiinu aorvico lor more than ten years. They did not sleep on the aumo floor us their master and mis tress ; but , aa is usual in Paris , occu pied a a room some stories higher in the mansard or attic. They had a key by which to lot themselves in from the back ataira to the kitchen in thu morning ; but nt the time of the robbery neither enio nor the other had boon in the dining room where the chest was kept until aftar my friend's daughter had found out what had happened. The lady of the family had locked the chest - it was her usual habit before she hnd retired to rest the previous night. The key was found hanging on ti nail at the head of her bed , its usual placo. The theft must have been committed between 11 p. m. when the chest wna locked and 8 a. m. when her daughter discovered the loss. The concierge declared that no ono save these who lived in the house had passed his lodge during those hours. The door of the apartment opening on the main staircase was found locked and thu key on the in side. Altogether it was a most mys terious business of which no ono could make anything save that the property had vanished ; therefore , it must liavu boon taken by some one. LK UUi : 1)K JIMIUSALKM. My friend resolved to go nt once tt the Kuo do Jerusalem the Scotland yard of P.xris and ask the authorities to inquire into the matter. I sug gested an agent do police or police man from the nearest station might bo called , but was told that that was not the way they did things in Pans. The policemen that kept order in the streets , and those whose business it is to discover what has become of stolen property , arc two departments per fectly distinct from each other. Be ing anxious to see how our neighbors managed affairs of this kind , anc whether the } ' were better up to their work than our London detectives , J accompanied my friend to the Pretoc- ture de Police , where ho sent in his card , and wo were nt once ushered into the presence of n quiet-looking elderly gentleman , ono of the sous- chef a of the department , who looked nioro like n bank manager or head clerk in a largo mercantile house , than n man whoso occupation was to indi cate whore the thieves and others who Wbro "wanted" could bo laidhandson. A Frenchman is nothing if ho is nol polite. The individual into whoso sanctum wo were shown welcomed us with a civilty which nothing could ex ceed. Ho heard my friend's story from first to last , made a few notes with a pen i > > a kind of diary which ho had on his desk , and now and then asked a question or two respecting the house nnd apartment which had been robb"d , the servants , visitors and other masters. But he did not detain - tain us long. The interview was over in twenty minutes. The sous-choi then told my friend that ho would send ono of his subordinates to see the chest the next day. In the mean time would my friend prepare a list and as minute n description as possible of the property that hnd been stolen ? As n rule Frenchmen , no matter to what rank of life they belong , have the greatest possible respect for all whouro in any way connected with the police and never dream of disputing what they eay ; but my friend w.is somewhat annoyed at what ho deemed uaoloAii delay , nnd asked whether the police acnt could not bo sent nt mice. Thu fious-chei , however , overruled lih ob jection , and siiid.it was best for many reasons thu agent should not go to the house till next day. "Tn the first place , " ho said , " 1 do not wish anyone ono but yourselves to know that the gentleman who will call on you to morrow is in any way connected with the police , 11 o will send up a card nnd you will bo kind enough to receive him na a friend tulk to him of the robbury in the presence of your sorvantH as you would to any casual acquaintance. " Ho then turned to rno and said , laughingly ; "Wo du not manage these iill'.urs at ) you do in London. Wo don't allicho our police : wo don't fiend constables ( he pro nounced thu word 'conuatabol' ; tonnko u fuss and put every ono on thuit guard ; wo lilut to do tliinpH quietly , the rbu't ' i. < betUr. " Ho ( liui r > .n J ua out aul wo tuul ; our departure , not over nhsurod an to what the upshot ol tlui affair would be. A I'AUIM URTKl " . ' > ' . "Un monsieurqui desire vous voir , " said my friend's man servant next day , putting a c.ird into his master's hand , juat as wo vruro finishing our midday meal , and a gentleman-liko middlo-aged man wn uhown in. Ho wua close shaved as to the chin and upper lip , but wore mnnll whiskers , more liku an Kngliblmmn of business of tun years ugo than u native of lu belle J'rnnco. Ho wa ) wnll , but not fashionably droBsod , and carried n ainall cane , with which ho kept gently tapping his boot when not speaking. Wliiln the servant was in the room ho confined his conversation to .ios , and jjavo his opinions freely on ho political subjects of the day. When my friend upoko of the robbery and pointed to the chest out of which .ho property had boon taken , ho ucroly glanced nt it , looked nt tl.o ock for n moment , aiiil turned thu conversation. Ho asked miulamo to call her maul and talk to her on some indiHoroiit subject. This was done , nml 1 watched hia face during the time the woman was present ; but ho merely ookud nt her once , and continued .nlking to mo. The only point on which ho seemed really nnxious was to obtain a fuller lescription of thu articles lost than h\t : ho hnd been already furnished with , My friend ollbrcll to give himdotails hen and there , but ho declined to ivait for it , on the plea thnt by pro longing his visit ho might arouse sus picion amongst thosorvnnts , We sug gested mooting him near the line do Jerusalem ; but hu laughed nt Ihoidvn , saying that it ho were once seen near the police ollico his occupation would bu gone , as he would bo no longer of any great nio an an agent of the police. So an appointment was inado to meet at the Cafe du Holder on thu Bou levards , where a more detailed descrip tion of the lost property should bo given to him. llo then took his leave , but asked mo to accompany him down stairs , so as to improtm the concierge with the idea that he was an acquaintance of soinoatniiding. He- fore arriving nt the bottom , I found my friend had managed to dirty his coat in a manner which necessitated his turning into the concierge's lodge to borrow n clothosbrush , thereby gaining an opportuity of ousting an uyo round thu small room and on its occupier. To me , being initiated , thu object was palpable , though quite un suspected by the individual in ques tion. When the brushing was over wo walked out together , and in thu course of conversation wo touched upon the way in which nome persona can so disguise themselves as to hide their individuality from their must intimate - timato friends. KFPKUTIVI : nisouisi : . I expressed myself as being tlotibi ful whether this could bo really done , provided the parties to bo ilecoivcd were on the lookout for such decep tion. My companion ditlereil from me , and offered to disguise himself effectually that he would in the cour.iu of the next twenty four hours speak to mo for at least ton minutes without arousing my suspicions. I accepted the challenge , and staked the price of a dejounor at any cafe ho would like to name. Ho agreed , nnd the very same day won the bet in the following manner : Shortly after leaving the detective I met an old friend , who asked mo to dine with him at Versailles that even ing. I agreed to do so , but could not leave Paris as early as my friend in tended to do so , nnd therefore told him I should go down by the 5tC : ! train by the Oaro St. Lazaro. I die so , and as I got to a first class carriage T remarked n short , gentlemanly-look ing man , with white hair , who followot mo into the sumo compartment. Frenchman-liku ho began to talk about things in general , niu" we chatted , more or less , nearly all the way to Versailles Whci within ten minutes walk or so of our destination my now friend ( juiotly took off hin hat , pulled off n wig , go rid of a moustache , and to my ntto amazement sat revealed before mo at my friend the detective ! How ho hat managed to find out that I was grin [ to Versailles which I had no idojv o" myself when I left him or how h < had so effectually concealed hia np pearnnco that I , sitting within thn o feet of him , had no idea that ho was the man I had left eomo four hours previously , are problems which I c-.in not solve. The detective himself only laughed when I naked him how ho had contrived i' . . He was evident ! } greatly flattered at the amazement' displayed ; but beyond showing mo with some pride his wig and mustache tacho , ho wns very reticent nnd would enter into no details. That ho hiu fairly won the breakfast there coulc bo no doubt , but ho said ho wouli rather put off the event until ho couh sco his wny ns to whether or not ho should bo nblo to recover n part or the whole of the property which my friona had lost. Wo then parted , hi taking the train buck to Paris , nnd I going on to thu house where 1 was engaged gaged to dine. ' THE nnuuisnv ulsuoviniKi ) . This was on thu Thursday evening On the Monday , nbout 11 a. m. , the waiter of the hotel where I was stay ing told mo that a gentleman wishet to speak to mo. Ho was shown up , and this time thu detective wna nol disguised. Ho told mo that for re a nous which I would learn latter ho thought it batter to como to mo thai to go to my friend'a house in the Fauburg St. Germain. Ho uaid ho hnd good news ; for that ho believed the greater p irt of thoiilolcn porporty had been tecovered , and nskud mo to go to the prufoctiiro do policu on the following dy , nbout 3 p. m. , and t < take my friend with mo. Wo did BO aud found that what the du tectivo had told mo was true. Among other valuables that hud been stolen wna a canvas bn [ , containing between two and three hundred napoleons. These had dis appeared ; but the jewelry , thu plate , and what wan still more surprising , the bonds , puvitblu , as nl' ' such docu ments uiu in France nil portourto ( thu bearer ) , hud been found and were ready lor my friend to identify. This was easily done , but nothing was al lowed to bo touched for the present , as it would have to bo nworn to nt the trial which wuuld shortly tnko place. Wn'i | > my fiii nd returned homo hi found that , while lie vwm ut the prcfic turo the concierge hnd been arrested for conniving ut the theft , and in thu lodge tvero found , in a hidden cup board , the bag containing the money. In u word , without fusa , publicity , or loss of time , thu whole of the prop- Ji'ty which had been stolen the week before wns in the hunda of the policu. fn ton days more the trial was over. The conciergoand two of hi relations were each condemned to five yearn ol travniix forces ( penal servitude ) , my friend got back the whole of his prop erty , and , what to mo OH an English man seemed much more extraordinary , thu total expuiiBo of the proceedings cainu to something liku JOO francs ( 4) ) . Even this payment was nearly all voluntary , for my friend inflated upon niaking n Binnli preopnt to tJll > lotoctivo who had done his work so well. AND KNOMHH MKTIIOU8 , To give nny details ns to how Iho nhtnblea were found , or how the rob > cry was traced to 'the conciuigo , islet lot in my nowor. Thu Kronch police ire invariably very reticent , parncu nrly in cases like the ono 1 have at- empted to describe- . They hfc/o a heory that publicity on such occa- Ions is a very grout mislako nnd lindera juatico. I called , with my ricnd , upon the soua-chtof to thank inn for the trouble hu had taken. Ho Vila a very intelligent person and evi lontly n man of education Hi- md been in England on husim-s connected with his oilier , nnd spols ory freely nbout our iwhcu md their wny of doing bmmcas lo considered that such of the force la wore employed in maintaining pub- 'io order na among the very host in fiuropo. Uutof our detective system in hnd a very poor opinion. As ho 'iiitl ' very truly , no poonor is a rob- aory committed in England than the iMuost publicity U given to thu whole ilf.iir , nnd the thieves are us well awaru of whnt steps aru being taken 'o unravel the matter as the police hemsulvcs. It in true that a cor'niu lumber of our police weie plain nlothes instead of uniform , but it is cei tain that these are as well known , o the criminal classes of London ns Jioir brethren who wear blue tunics nnd helmets. In Paris the dotoctivu who is on- ; aged in trncitii ; crime is , so to spuik , lidden from public view llo rnioly oes even to the prefecture do policu ; lie has his order yivon him either by \ confidential nuont or by n hitter written in cypher , llo mixes in noci- oty aud niee.ta all HOI tit and conditions of men , but his occupation in known to very few persons indeed. So much is this the case thnt thu French detectives very seldom know each o'her ; that is to say , Mosieur A. mny lo ) very well acquainted with Mon sieur B. , but neither of them know that the other is omployo.l by the po lice. I was told by ono of the author [ ties in the Ruu do Jerusalem that in London the undiscovered robberies nro to those that nru discovered in the proportion of three to one. If thu Kronch police nro right in their statements - ments tuo l.iruer the robbery thnt takes place in P.uii the greater chance tlieie is of its being found out , whore- is in London we Know the exact con trary to bo the ease A Short Roml to Health- To nil \\lio am MilTering from boiln , ul ih , fccrufutii , carbuncles , or other ob.sti natc ( li'CRhe.i of the blond unit skin , i course of BuitnoeK ULOOD BrrriniH wil bo found to be "u nuo road to health,1 I'rico SI 00 trial size 10 cents. fob'-VSilcodtw Til AT COUGH.
