on Saturday evening. He appeared de-

told me, talked all the time about life

friends. Monsieur Blandureau. I in

magistrate.
Son leaving Monsieur Blandureau

He saw our man on Saturday. Monsieur
Jandidier went to his shop after nine
O'Clock to order a pair OF pantaloons.
While his measure was being taken he
noticed that a button on his vest was
ready to fall off, 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"

tailor estimated it at twelve or fourteen

"Go on" said the examining magis-

While his vest was being repaired

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 Richz
elieu 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; he wanted
to enjoy the approval he read in the
magistrates face.
" Monsieur Jandidier," he continued,
was really driven to No. 38 Rue d'Ar-
ras Saint Victor, where one OF his
wOrkmen lives, a man named Jules
Tarot"
The manner in whicn Maitre Mag
loire pronounced this name was in
tended to arouse, and did arouse, the
attention of the magistrate.
60 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
Tsrot's room about ten o'clock. At
eleven the employer and workman went
out together. The workman did not
return until midnight, and here I lose
track of my man. Of course didn't
question Tarot, lest I should put him on
his guard"
" Who is this Jules Tarot?"

ooh, no they are both young they
have no children; they are Parisians,
and, POUNDS they amuse themselves.
Monday 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
the sight of them the worker in mother

cioua, they were about to withdraw,
when the detective saw Tarot's wife anx-

the window. This was a ray of light.
| In an instant MaglOire had taken down

were found between the boards of the

utter terrible shrieKs, protesting that she
and her husband were innocent. On
being arrested and taken to the police
station they were questioned by the eXN

answers were precisely the same. They
acknowledged that they had had visit

He seemed 50 i'll that they had offered
him something to take, which he re
fused. He had come, ne said, on ac>
count OF an important order which he
proposed that Tarot should undertake,
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

asked his workman to show him out OF
the house he was going TO the FaubOurg
Saint Antoine. And, in fact, Tsrot sc-
compsnied him to the Place de Ia Bastile,
crossing the Constantine bridge and
walking along by the river.
The magistrate asked both husband
