ExplOll OF YIdooa.

The last exploit of Vidocq, the fa-
nous French detective, is said to have
been as follows
A rich merchant went to him to
consult on a deficit of 100000 francs
which he had found ON his books.
Yidocq demanded:
"What is the aye ofyour cashier?"
Twenty five. But am as sure Of
him as OF myself; he has also been
robbed. He is victim like myself"
Are you married2"
"Yes."
How old is your wife? Is she
handsome2 Is she honest ?"
20, yes, my wife is virtue itself-hon-
orabIe, attached to me above"
Never mind all that; your cashier
is twenty-five. Is your wife hand
some ?"
"Since you insist upon knowing,
she is handsome, but"
But! but! no matter about the butts!
You wish to find your money don't
you, and you have confidence in me 2"
"Of course l have since / am here"
"Very we'll, then, 60 back homo,
make believe that you are going on a
j,urney, and introduce me into your
houses"
This was done, the merchant left
home, and Vidocq hid himself in the
closet near the chamber of the lady.
Breakfast was served a young man
was shown in, and thus addressed by
Madame
Very well, Arthur; he's gone, but
he suspects US"
The rival of Carpenter went over
a long TRADE of love and desolation,
concluding with these words:
"Only one road is left open for us ;
let US take what is left and embark
for"
vidocq stepped out of his place of
concealment,

Vidocq came TO Paris and handed
the 100, 1000 francs TO the merchant say
