clock under his coat, and as he was shstolly
dressed and wore hob-nailed broga,,s, there
was suspicion that he did not SJme non 1s

AZ r,;I;onaire, and the owner OF
l.rc. c;,v nroperty. His only fault was
az ~ - :,,le shabby clothes. This brings
- 1 storv of that sensible lunatic, as they
ned 10 call the DUO de Grammont- Cade-
ronsse few years ago. This gentleman
was wild blade, it is true, but yet good
fellow in every sense of the word, grand
seigneur, polite and kindly, bat often given
10 eccentricities and to acts of the widest
extravaganza. He was the early friend Of
Nile Hortense Schneider, and the Duke
did o good deal to form her during her
first years upon the stage: He committed
ming party of young men were dining at
the Mason dor, when the Duke gave ex-
; preston to number of democratic theories,
and his comrades accused him of too great
G Q fondness for the people. After having
= answered according to his conscience, the
Due de .Grammont said: Every well, gen.
tlemen. i will bet you that, without having
any reason whatever therefor, the Police
will arrest me within an hour"

: As there was no time to lose, Caderousse
Jumped into cab and rode to the temple
and came back in the most sordid costume
Il is possible to imagine. The old, greasy
cap upon his head, the pantaloons in rags,
the old shoes broken at the toes, and the
greasy coat gave him the air of q miserable.
Hebfacked his face and grimed his hands,
then begged his comrades to follow to wit
ness the arrest. They followed him to a
cafe on the Boulevard Poissoniere, where
the Duke seated himself at table with a
=. sidelong, sneaking motion, and after mo-
ment, called to the waiter:
"Garcon, bring me q bottle OF cham
payne"
The waiter hesitated, lookedat his clothes
and then said.
"But, mon 6oshonme, that costs twelve
francs" r E,[
"Well, suppose it does, grumbled Cade-
rousse, do you think / haven't the means OF
paying % = -
And as he said this he drew from one of
his dirty pockets package of bank bills and
laid 40, 900 francs down before the aston
ished waiter. The latter ran for his patron,
and was sent at once for the sergeants de
vile, who took the Duke into custody upon
suspicion of having stolen money upon his
person. The other young men followed,
and heard curious dialogue between the
false coyon and the officer, the latter saying
that he was not to be taken in by such tales
and that he must explain how he came by
the money before II. lie Juge. There, he
SAID: ~ =. ~
Monsieur, I am the Duo de Grammont
Caderousse. made bet that the Police
would arrest me without having any reason
for so doing, and have won my bet. Here
are my friends to prove it, and it only
remains for me to thank you.
The Dukes splendid equipage, with out
riders in livery. was already at the door,
and Caderousse bowed himself out while the
Magistrate was still staring at him in OPEN
mouthed wonder.-Nep York Times
