his system OF espionage 10 such perfection that
one-haf OF France spied on the other half. It
was N. de Sarine who won the following curious
wager: He was remsrking one night that nobody
could leave or enter Paris without his knowing IT,
The Duke de Cheyreure, who wns present under
took 10 come to Paris and spend a week thero
without the Lieutenalt-GeGeral beng any the
wiser, ard he backed this vaunt by bet of
thousand louls NJ. lie Sartino took tho bet, and
the Duke was allowed two years in which 10 win
his wager if he could. During this time the Duke
frequently came to Paris in all sorts OF disguiSes
and under n variety of names. but no sooner had hG
settled at an inn than he received note from the
Lieutenant General complinentIng HIM upon his
arrival. At last the Duke came into Paris dis
guised as @ decrepit old woman selling apples. but
6e had scarcely hobbled through the gates when a
man touched his hat and handed him n letter, in
which M de Sartine begged for the honor OF his
company at dinner, disguise and all. The Duke
paid his wager, but he was - n1eh mortified that
be dismissed all bis servants and from that tine
would never keep any man or woman IN ms employ
ment for more than three months at u time.
