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
