At the same time that this little romance
was going on Marclantlon had a second string
to his bow Not satisfied with engaging the
affections of one young woman, he began an
intrigue with the daughter of gentleman ut
a neighboring chateau. Marchandon used to
put ON his masters clothes and steal out OF
am evening to visit No. ,. Her first made her
acquaintance as he happened to see her sitting
at her open window. He approached timidly
and wrote on a card i'm pencil: '|Nicomte de
Valfeury will wait for you before this window
this evening at 80 Strange to say, the young
woman appeared without more ado at the
rendezvous, and things were going
on swimmingly when the unfortunate coup
de pied ended simultaneously both little
idyls.
Marchanlon now conceived his project of
living a double existence. His little scheme
was very simple. He would engage himself
out as a servant, and after robbing his mas
tiers he would disappear quickly, and under
assumed names live quiet life Vt Fontaine-

The law officer of the Post Office De-

effect that a Postmaster who uses OF
converts to bis own use the postal funds
in his hands, although not required to

many Postmasters that under section
,240 of the postal laws and regulations
(Revised Statutes, 4,053) there was nc
Iembezzlement by the Postmaster until
he had wilfully neglected to make his
ideposits as required by the regulations
! But the opinion holds that under tlrC
provisions of the Postal laws (Reviscd
statutes, 3,S46) Postmasters are forbid,
