was on Monday last that they babe adieu to
their Montreal homes. A ride Of few hours
brought them to st. Adams, where, having
passed beyond the dreaded jurisdiction of
Canadian justice, halt was effected. Amid
the prosaic surroundings of this little New

while, if not all the world, certainly all
Montreal wondered. Rumors of the arrival
of brace of Montreal detectives interrupted
the billing and cooling of the fugitives, and in
haste they boarded q southern bound train
and sped away for New York. By this
time, however, friends of the parties in Mon

to Superintendent Wslling requesting their
arrest. The message was signed w. III.

provided for the lady and her children, but
the gay Lothario was left to the contempls-

sort of thing was somewhat unromantic, but
our hero bore himself with becoming stole

come and extricate himself and "traveling

lawyer appeared at the cell door,
and after a somewhat protracted con-

driven in close carriage to the Tombs
Police Court. Here they were shown into
