lighted cigar IN his mouth. On learning
this circumstance / said to myself,
have him; he'll light his cigar some
? where My reasoning was correct; NJ
entered a shop in the Rue de Temple
where he is well known. The woman
remembered the circumstance because
though he always smoked sou cigars, ht
bought London ones
Chow did he appear ?'
He seemed very thoughtful, the shop
keeper told me. 1t was through her
learned he often went to the cafe Ture
l went in and was told he had been there
on Saturday evening. He appeared de.
pressed. The gentleman, the waiter
told me, talked all the time about life
insurance. At half-past eight O'Clock
cur man left the cafe with one of his
friends, Monsieur Blandureau. 1 in
stsntly went to this gentleman, who told
me that he walked up the boulevard
with Monsieur Jandidier, who left him
at the corner of the Rue Richelieu, plead
ing business engagement. He was out
of sorts, and seemed troubled with the
darkest presentiment."
Every well, so far" murmured the
magistrate.
"On leaving Monsieur Blandureau /
went to Rue du Roi-de-Sicile, to ascer-
tain from somebody in the house whether
Monsieur Jandidier had any customers
or friends; there was only his tailor N
the Rue Richelieu. / went to this tailor.
He saw our man on Saturday. Monsieur
Jandidier went to his shop after nine
o'clock to order pair OF pantaloons.
While his measure was being taken he
noticed that button on his vest was
ready to fall of, and asked to have it
sewed On. He was obliged to take of his
overcoat to permit the little repair to be
made, and, as at the same time he took
out the contents of the side pocket, the
tailor noticed several hundred franc
bank notes"
"Ahi that is clew He had large
sum OF money with him ~
Not large, but considerable. The
tailor estimated it at twelve or ourteen
hundred francs"
$50 on" said the examining magis-
trate.
While his vest was being repaired |
Monsieur Jsndidier complained OF sud.
den illness, and sent little boy out to
look for a carriage. He had to go to |
see one of his workmen who lived long
distance of he said. Unfortunately, the
little fellow had forgotten the number
of the carriage. He only remembered
that it had yellow wheels and was drawn
by 8 large black horse. This Afforded a
clew. A circular sent to all the livery
stable keepers put me on the track. |
learned this morning that the number of
the carriage was 6,007. The driver, on
being questioned, distinctly remembered
having been stopped about nine o'clock
on Saturday evening in the Ru Rich-
ellen by little boy, and having waited
ten minutes in front of the MaisOn GOuin.
The description of his face suited our
man, and he recognized the photograph
among five others | showed him."
Maitre Magloire stopped; ne wanted
to enjoy the approval he read in the
magistrates face.
"Monsieur Jandidier," he continued,
was really driven to No. SO Rue d'Ar-
ras Saint Victor, where one Of his
wOrkmen lives, a man named jules
Tarot."
The manner in when Msitre Mag
loire pronounced this name was in
tended to arouse, and did arouse, the
attention of the magistrate.
"You have suspicious ?" he asked.
"Not exactly; but these are acts
Monsieur Jandidier dismissed his car
rage at the Rue d'Arras and went to
Tarot's room ABOUT ten O'Clock. At
eleven the employer and workman went
out together. The workman did not
return until midnight, and here | lose
track of my man. OF course l didn't
question Tarot, lest should put him on
his guard"
"Who is this Jules Tarot?"
ga worker in mother-of-pearl; that
is, man who polishes shells on grind
stone, to give them perfect lustre. He I
is a skillful fellow, and, helped by his :
wife, to whom he has taught the trade, ,
can make a hundred francs week"
"They are in easy circumstances, !
the" ?" I
"Oh, no they are both young; they
have no children; they are Parisisns,
and, POUNDS! they amuse themselves. ,
always squanders all the other ,
days bring" {
Two hours after Maitre Magloire's re- {
port, several police officers went to Jules {
Tarot's lodgings to make q search. AT c
the sight of them the worker in mother ]
of-pearl and his wife turned paler than
corpses, and were seized with an attack {
of nervous trembling that could not
escape the practiced eye of Maitre Mag {
loire. Yet, the most careful search hsv 8
ing failed to discover anything suspI- i
ciOus, they were about to withdraw. ]
when the detective saw Tsrot's wife anx. {
iously watching a cage that hung near 9
the window. This wss ray of light. 8
In an instant Magloire had taken down Y
the cage. Twelve hundred franc notes /
were found between the boards of the |
floor. This discovery seemed to crush g
the workman, while his wife began to '
utter terrible shrieks, protesting that she |
and her husband were innocent. On r
being arrested and taken to the police t
station they were questioned by the exs O
aiming magistrate that very day. Their t
answers were precisely the same. They v
acknowledged that they had had visit b
to their employer on Saturday evening. 8
He seemed so ill that they had offered I
him something to take, which he re- t
fused. He had come, he said, on &C. b
count OF an important order which he r
proposed that Tarot should undertake, C
hiring his own workmen. Tarot and
his wife replied that they could not do
it for want of means. Then their en-
ployer said: "Never mind, I'll furnish
the money" and instantly put twelve c
hundred franc notes on the table. c
