CONCEALED WEAPoNs-It has be-
come a too general practice among our

creditable. Some years ago, French
nobleman hunting iii the forests of Brit
tany fell into one of the pits used for
storing winter vegetables. Unable to
get out he remained there until band
of peasants approached, to whom he ap7
pealed for assistance They required
that he should first hand out :his valua-
bles, and while he was complying with
this outrageous demand, young girl
leaning forward to- take something from
his hand, fell intos his arms. He held
her as a hostage, but the peasatns fed.
finding themselves outwitted. The Mar
quis and his companion spent three days
in the pit before assistance reached them
in which time he discovered that the girl
was pretty, intelligent and agreeable,
and when released he took her to Paris,
educated her, and at his death left her
millionaire.
