It happened that che was walking in one

she passed group of men, she heard these
words :--"There's leg for stocking, and
there's foot for SHOE" In moment the
events of the evening before her mistress was
murdered flashed on her memory. And now
for her marvellous presence of mind. Pre-
tending not to have heard anything, shs
glanced sideways at the group of men. She
saw there three, but she could not tell which
OF them had spoken. She walked slowly by
them, then she stopped in an undecided man
ner, and finally turned back and walking up
to them asked to be directed to a certain
street. AS she expected all Of them had a
word for her, and among the voices she easily
recognized the one that had Just spoken.
Their language and looks were both very
free, but she only told them they were very
impertinent. and that she would get the in
formation she wanted from the first gen.
darme.
She thus averted suspicion If they watched
her speak to policeman. The next difficult
wanted she had only been fortnight in
France, and knew scarcely French word.
She, however, carried pocket dictionary
with her to assist in making purchases and
as means OF acquiring little French. Go
ing over to'a bench she sat down, and, search
ing through the dictionary, found the words
she wanted, and then she wrote them with a
pencil on the fy-leaf of the dictionary. The
sentence ran thus: GenddrmeS .je oroir bes-

not teach syntax but the gendarme under
