Messieurs Robert and BourIet have
each about eighty detectives under
their immediate orders. The entire
corps numbers 500
The Surete has two chiefs, Coche-
fort and Hamard, both names that
readers of daily newspapers have con-
stantiy under their eyes. The former
is the prudent administrator with
long experience, while Hamard is the
very heart and soul of the active serv-
ice. In the space of eight years he mas
himself effected over 5000 arrests. and
there has only been one solitary affair
in which he has been engaged when
he has not found the cuIprit. which
surely speaks volumes for the careful
and efficient Organization of his ser
vice.
The two chiefs are always ready To
show their subordinates the way in
any dangerous cases. Quite recently,
Hamard was obliged to arrest with
his own hands, and almost without
assistance, Il murderer who had smut

Detectives Poorly Paid.
a man who wished to make a for
tune could scarcely be advised TO
choose the career Of a French de-
tecuve. An Inspector of the Surete
receives $500 per annum to begin
with, and if he is lucky may eventu-
ally hope to set $500. This is his
regular salary. which is slightly in
creased by premiums on the arrests
he effects. When he is sent on a
journey he has expenses allowed to
him at the rate of s. a day in France
and 50 abroad. After twenty-five
years in harness he becomes entitled

Judged by American standards,
these are not exactly brilliant condI-
lions. and yet anybody who has been
brought into contact-into voluntary
contact that is to say-with the
French police. whether the Surete. or
the Municipal Police of Paris, can
hardly fail to be struck by the devo-

Lombard, Who made a number Of
experiments upon himself with this
instrument, found that if he volun-

continued to make this effort, regard
less of the results. and at the same
time using all the power of his will.

hibited his prowess at all the fairs in
France. There was strong reason to
suspect that the fellow had perpe-
trated a particularly brutal murder,
but the evidence was not strong
enough to warrant his arrest, and he
was so guarded in his speech that he
had never committed himself The
case was entrusted TO NJ BourIet
who himself is a man with biceps Of
very respectable size There was
nothing for it but for BourIet to adopt
the character of d professional strong
man, which he did He succeeded in
getting an engagement in the same
troupe as the suspected murderer,
