thing favored Ravachol. At length, and
when the pursuing detectives arrived at
the intersection OF four cross roads, they
found themselves completely bat1led. The
search, Notwithstanding, was kept up
diligently all through the night. At
dawn the entire party held a council of
war, when some of the detectives V no had
researched Ravachoi's house during the
interval reported that they had discovered
nothing, and the pursuit was then finally
abandoned, much 10 the chagrin OF every
one.

Jacob Brunei. is believed to he conclusive
Brunei had for years dwelt III solitude in q
picturesque cabin which he had erected
upon the ruins Of the college established
and once presided over by the great Mas
silon. His habits were peculiar and soli-
tarv. gaining tor him among the villagers
of Chambers the title of the Hermit of
Notre- Dame-de-Graces. The commune of
Chamhles is composed OF number of poor
cabins, and lies in tae gorge OF Forez, near
the hamlet of observation-disclosures, in q
depression Of the mountain. The retired
life and secluded habits OF the old hermit,
who dressed invariably in clerical
soUtan and wore no shoes, rendered
him an easy prey to the murderous
roUacIty of his assassin. The object of the
murder was unQuestionably plumber. as
old Brunei was known TO have possessed 4
quantity Of money. estimated 10 amount
"a 30 no francs. This sam was supposed
to have been concealed somewhere about
his dwelling. and Ravachoi learning Of
this decided to kill him. In the commits

to enter his room the landlord gave the
signal and joined the police in the attack.
One of Benads men seized the anarchist,
while the others formed circle around
him and endeavored TO put him in irons.
They were met, however, by stubborn
resistance on the prisoners part, and one
of the detectives, getting wearied, assayed
to overcome the intractable criminal by
resorting To violent methods. At this
point VI. Teychene. swelling like q bull
frog with official dignity and grandeur,
struck dramatic attitude, and. shifting
his breast IL q ponderous solemn manner,
exclaimed: ado no violence in the pres
ence OF the laws majesty" The result
was that the detectives, all along the
road, had to contend as best they could
against the fierce struggles OF the prisoner,
narrowly avoiding the lnTiction of serious
injury To their persons from the ferociou5
kicks and lunges Ravachoi continued TO
make at them.
While descending narrow street the
party were suddenly accosted. upon
rounding a curve in the roadway, rendered
obscure from the darkness, by a drunken
man carrying package. Instantly lynx
eyed Commissary Teychene made up his
mind that they had lighted on desperate
accompiice of their prisoner, who, no
doubt. had bomb concealed in the pack
age he carried. He therefore ordered

customary fashion of drunken men, at
once resented this interference with his
progress by volley of abuse leveled at
the head of the astonished commissary.
The attention of the detectives was thus
diverted for an instant from their trouble
some prisoner, who, with lightning per-
ception, took advantage of their mo-
mentary distraction and forthwith landed
q violent kick below the belt upon the
policeman whose hold had relaxed the
least, butted another in the chest, and
thus succeeded in breaking loose and dis
appearing in the darkness Immediately
hot pursuit was begun, but despite all
efforts no trace of the fugitive could be
found. The gloom of the night, the COM

Next comes the rectification of the
complexion. The first step is the applica-
ton of cold cream, with which the face Is
well rubbed, and then carefully wiped
with a soft cloth, leaving the skin pleas
antly moist. Flesh color grease paint is
then employed on the nose and chin, after
which the face is freely powdered, and
this operation followed by a careful re-
moval of every particle of powder from
the eyebrows and lashes, best accom-
plished by a moist forefinger. Succeed
ing this is the use OF dry rouge. which is
matter requiring both artistic taste and
great discretion. An oval face demands
the least study. A short face must be
heightened by the extension OF the color
toward the neck. The cheekbones of a
long face should he we'll rouged. and the
color applied over the eyes, unless they
are quite prominent, in which case the
rouge should be more sparingly employed

a sharp or receding chin. small nose
may be white. Dimpies are accentuated
by the dainty use OF India ink, or II

perfect imitation can be produced by a

The next step is skillful handling of
the blending brush. which is quite like
the brush OF baby's toilet. and then comes
the mouth. The upper lip must be drawn
down and the white grease paint applied
to the corners of the mouth 10 suppress an
undesirable width. Then, with lip rouge
on the finger tip, veritable Cupid's bow
is traced, giving due fullness To the upper
lip. Highly colored nostrils give spir-
tied look to the face, for which purpose lip
rouge is used.
The browning glory is the eyes, and
they demand time and most delicate
touch. The lids are first slightly dark
ened with black cosmetic, the outer cor
ners receiving a dash. Then with q strip
