man requested permission to look through
the premises, as he expected to find there
a fraudulent banker, whom he as a de-
tectiye was instructed to take into Gus

piled with, and no sooner had he entered
the dining room than he pointed to the
luxurious reyeler and whispered in the
landlords ear:

There he is. But for your own sake we
prefer to avoid a row. Please tell the
gentleman that his friend Baron L. is

and went out on the boulevard, where he
was taken possession of by the detective
who put him into the cab and drove off
with him. Next day the restaurant
keeper went TO the nearest police Office
to recover payment for the fraudulent
bankers dinner, amounting to about
sixty francs. But neither the commits
sary nor his subordinates knew anything
of the supposed capture. In the end it
turned out to be nothing more or less
than a clever bit of comedy got up for
the purpose Of enabling one of the act
