the flag. A for the conquest of the north pole. I couldn't think of that the mera idea Of condensed food. even
 with walrus steak and fish oil to lend
 variety, simply turns my stomach. So
 that was out Of the question. "I}ut give me Ta-is-Faris that huns and .eems with life twentyfoUr hours
 in twanty-four. Who kpnws Paris?
 have prowled in its catacombs and es-
 capped over it's p0ia ed roofs and slid down it's lightning rods and lain hid in forg ten little court yards of past centuries. After twenty years in Paris
 ' am still exploring and discovering it. Cart0vahe, MaUdrin, Ravachol and all he great chief;1ins famous in the his tory of civilized brigan6age loved Paris as I do."
 Asked whether he had ever commit
 ted murder. Aususte Fevrot replied with a mild sheer:
 If l had killed [ would not tell you, for my love of excitement does not go so far that I wish trial for murder. Nor is climbing tine suillotine steps one of those emotions l have on my pro- gramme.
 But I never found it necessary to Xiii any one. Some If my men have used the knife or pistol, but it was al
 ways done contrary to my orders. Those who rCsor-cd to murder were fel- lows with dangerous instincts or plain byrgl5rs. l never afterward would have anything to do with them. Any fool can shoot or stab.
 If. despi,e his cllverness, man falls into a trap. the artistic thing is to es cape without spilIns blood by superior skill.
 "Once, in the dark. and af,er d long scunlc. l hanGcuffed 9. detective with the rair of bracelets he was trying to clasp on me. That's the sort of thing which gives satisfaction.
 If had chosen L. shoot I could have got away this time. But when I saw the officer killed I cried to my partners, Quit chat, fools.' as the other officers will testify.
 NO: I am not in favor of murder. If a customer wakes tip while we rob h,s house it's OUT fault-we have bungled. And if he defends his property I respect him for it. Why should We kill him? I would rather kill a coward. Policemen 1 don't consider as my enemies. They are my opposite partners in a game. Without them our business would be flat
 A good burglar and good de.ec tive have many qualities in common bravery, coOlness. shrrWdness, self reli- ance. wonderful intuition of what will happen next. Only, the detective knows that he la. the law with him. Pm afraid that must detract from the in terest."
 TWy days later the World correspOnd- ent was admitted to the room which Fevrot occupies in the Prison de la Sante. in the Latin quarter. He enjoys special rrivil ges pending his convic- ton. lis cell is tre very room where Lieutenant Colonel Picquart lived nine months at the time of the Dreyfus agi- ta,ion.
 FeVrots guards like to make him talk of his adventures, and in exchange fir his readiness ,hey let him wear his own clothes, provide him with the fas- u5ious toilet that he loves, and with his abundant money they buy him excel lent meals.
 He received the representative with easy courtesy. He referred several times 70 the United States as an admir- able nation-the one he has selected to Srend the rest of his life in if, as he hopes. he escapes from the clu u,ctes of French law.
 FeVTCts father acquired rapid wealth in the sale of leather and was known as d merchant prince. Auguste. his only son, and Julie. his only daughter, two years younger. received ,ha best eGu- cation. The girl, now dead. was a fine vocalist and AuSuste always managed | to keep up his practice on the cello.
