When he reached the bright boulevard,
he found to his great modification
that one tail of his clawhammer coat
had been cut off.
HE notified journalist Of his loss
and the next morning an account of the
odd theft appeared in the Figaro

who had in his pocket a piece of fine

lated coat, sir. If the piece of cloth
fits it, we we'll know that we have
apprehended the man who robbed you.
'sThe other surrendered his coat, and
from that day to this he heard no

was of course, the thief who had
adopted that audacious means of get
ting the coat in order to attach to 1t
