these obstacles. Days were employed
in perfecting the likeness First he
attained a seven days growth of
beard. Then he dyed his hair and
beard black. By the generous use of
white walnut liquor he attained most
unhealthy complexion. The original
was a snuff fiend Vidocq garnished
his upper lip with mixture of coffee
grounds and gum arabic. He made
blisters on his feet by rubbing in a
composition with which he was IA
miliar. He made the marks of the
letters on his ankles, and dressing
himself in suitable garb was ready
for his enterprise.
After that he became a regular fire.
quenter of the thieves dens of Paris.
He drank cheap gin, tossed off alb
sinthe, cursed the police, showed the
marks of the irons on his legs and al
together made himself a general ia
vorite. Night after night he visited
a cheap concert hall in the Faubourg
st. German, where heSmet most of the
disreputable characters of the French
metropolis. He became very friendly
with most of them and made them
drink his health in sundry glasses of
bad wine. The resort was a veritable
clearing house for the gossip of the
underworld. A man or a woman who
had not served time" was out of
place in that assemblage. Talk of
burglaries past and prospective was
as free as remarks concerning the
state of weather. Vidocq told of his
experiences with great yividness and
with a degree of exaggeration that
would have won a medal from the An
anias club.
Among so many little thieves there
was one big thief. His name was Con-
Stantine, former fencing master, who,
having run the gamut of dissipation,
had now reached the closing stages of
crime in his ill-spent life His COM
panions looked upon him as a man of
enterprise-bold in execution and on
all occasions possessing the most un-
blushing effrontery. The attention of
the police had been directed to him
more than once, but they had never
been able to secure the least scintilla
of evidence against the man.
Vidocq, knowing this, moved eau
tiously. He knew that mistep might
, mean his own life, for he was 10 the
midst of desperate characters who
thought nothing of murder. He put
on sad face, bemoaned his own fate
and bewailed the fact that he had no
means of recouping his fallen for
tunes. He became friendly with one
of the intimates of Constantine, and
that worthy, being piled with liquor,
gave the detective full particulars Of
the habits of the big thief They passed
the night together, and before morning
Vidocq knew all about the haunts of
Constantine.
On the following day he again met

"Are you in for an adventure?"
Surely. With whom?"

ing and said:
Il don't believe ever had the honor
of the ladys acquaintance"
All hands laughed loudly at this
sally. Constantine put his hands down
into his pocket and produced a big
brass key. He handed it gravely to
the detective.
Permit me to present you to the
mink
Vidocq, keeping up the spirit of the
thing, bowed gravely, acknowledging
the introduction and inquired when he
would have the pleasure of going out
with the lady.
1T might be tonight" he said grum-
bling, IF it were not for that in
fernal Vidocq."
The detective pricked up his ears
at the mention of his own name He
preserved the gravity of his counter
ance, however as he remarked care
lessly:
ooh, I don't mind him if l can keep
clear of the informers. They tell me
Paris swarms with the parasites"
That's true" said Constantine, but
if you can keep Vidocq from guessing
at your business you are safe enough
with me- AS for these informers, l
don't fear them. l can smell those
beggars as sasily as crow scents
powder"
WELL" said Vidocq, Il cannot boast
of so much penetration, yet think,
too, that from the frequent description
have heard of this Vidocq his fea-
lures are so well engraved in my recol-
lection that should pretty soon recog-
nize him if came unexpectedly in his
way"
God bless you." cried Constantine,
sit is easy to perceive you are stran-
ger to the vagabond; just imagine,
now, that he is never to be seen twice
In the same dress; that he is in the
morning perhaps just such another
looking person as you; well, the next
hour so altered that his own brother
could not recognize him, and by the
evening I defy any man to remember
ever having seen him before. Only
yesterday I met him disguised in a
manner that would have deceived any
eve but mine, but he must be deep
Land if he gets over me. / know these
sneaks at the first glance, and If my
friends were as knowing as myself his
business would have been done long
ago"
Nonsense" cried Vidocq; every
body says the same thing of him, and
yet you see there is no getting rid of
him"
Constantine was on his feet at once,
with an oath. He cried out:

talk, if you will lend me helping

his voluble informant in the dance hall
on the Faubourg st. German. He was
quite excited.
would you like to meet Constan-
tine?" he asked Vidocq.
Most assuredly!" replied the detect
i've.
They remained in conversation for
some time. Presently the door opened
and smart-looking fellow came in.
Vidocq's companion plucked at his
sleeve.
Now is your time if you wish to
speak to Constantine-he is here"
The detective looked up and saw a
neatly-dressed man of 80, with good
broad shoulders. He was about five
feet six inches high, extremely good
looking, fine black hair and regular
teeth. Vidocq only waited long enough
for the newcomer to be seated when
he went up to him carelessly and
said:
Would you kindly oblige me with a
little tobacco from your box?"
The famous thief looked the detect
i've over from head to foot before re-
plying. After an embarrassing inter-
val Constantine passed his tobacco box
to Vidocq. Then he said abruptly:
"You have been in the army?"
The detective could have fallen to
the floor. Had all of his carefully
contrived disguise counted for moth
ing? Did Constantine know who he
was? In any event it would serve his
interest to answer the question truth
fully. So with pretended nonchalance
he said:
why, yes; how did you know it?"
Simply because no man can con-
ceal it. Once in the army you carry
the badge of it with you through life,
in your walk, in your shoulders, in
your talk, in your manners"
Vidocq laughed uproariously, as if
he considered this a good joke, and in
the confusion invited his new-found
friend to take a drink He accepted,
and in the course of their conversation
the detective was delighted to find that
the other had not penetrated his dis
guise.
Il like YOU" finally cried Constan-
tine, land l want you to take dinner
with some friends of mine"
That night Vidocq dined with a party
of charming cracksmen, every one of
them noted in his profession. Con-
stantine was the chief, Joubert his
able lieutenant, and the others faith
full followers. The wine flowed freely
and the best of feeling prevailed. One
of the company said facetiously that
he had just come into fortune and
was celebrating the event. AS a mat
ter of fact he had cracked a crib"
the night before and was spending
part of his ill-gotter wealth. Con
stantine. turning to Vidocq, said:
"Hcw's your nerve?"
Fine"

From the age Of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Owens life
was made intolerable by eczema in It's
worst form. In spite of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
Of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as in

after remedy, but had gotten almost

ago we purchased a set of Cuticura
Remedies. The result was truly mar
velous and to-day he is perfectly cured.

1t was New Years day at the pre-
lecture of police. M. Henry, follow
ing a long established custom, was
holding his annual reception. The
room was crowded and all OF the Of
ficers of the police, high and low,
were there to present their chief with
the compliments of the season. M.
Bertaux, the cross-examiner OF Grim
inals, and M Parisot, the governor OF
nrisors. were in the line receiving
with M. Henry. During lull in the
crowd the three men drifted into
conversation concerning crime.
"By the bye, M. Henry" said M.
Bertaux, what has become of the
fellow Vidocq?"
81 really do not know" said the pre-
feet gravely.

know!"
NO" was the response. Il have
aot seen him since the day l called
him in in your presence and dele
gated him to break up the burglaries
that have disgraced the police system
of the city"
"And the burglaries," continued the
other tauntingly, they have contin-
ued?"
M. Henry nodded.
"And. Vidocq-he has disappeared"
The project nodded again.
M. Bertaux burst into an ironical
laugh.
IN. Henry, you have been deceived;
taken in; hoodwinked"
The project shook his head.
81 am not ready to confess defeat"
At that moment a great commotion
was heard on the outside. An at
tendant was summoned.
What is the confusion?"
"All of the valuables stolen from the
bankers house in the Champs Elysees
have been recovered"
Good" retorted M. Henry; @'but is
that all?"
mo; vidocq is outside demanding
admittance. He has no card"
admit himl" snapped the project.
A moment later five men handcuffed
entered the room. Bringing up the
rear was Vidocq. The first prisoner
was Constantine, the others Joubert
and his companions. Vidocq made
profound bow and. smiling his per-
petual smile, pointed to the cursing
culprits.
IN. Henry, wish you the compE'
ments of the season, and as New
Years gift present to you the re
doubtable Constantine and his fellow
craftsmen.

Vidocq spent all morning in going
over the reports that had been placed
in his hands. After that he returned
to his lodgings, and throwing himself
sn the bed lay awake all night de-
vising a plan of campaign. When day
light arrived it was completely blocked
out in his mind-not a detail was over

The first step was to discard his
own personality and take up that of
another. 1t would have to be a thief.
The honor of being impersonated fell
to one German, alias ''the Captain"
He was a fugitive galley slave. Vidocq
had known him in the days-well, in
the days before he became a detective.

IA ~ HENRY, the project of the
AVA ~ Paris police, sat at his desk
HWM in his private office, his
Nv IA face picture of perplexity.
He picked up paper that
lay before him and read it care
fully for the third time 1t was
an official report of desperate
robbery that had occurred in
the heart of the French capital
the night before. Moreover, it was
one of many similar reports. There
had been an epidemic of robberies and
the police seemed powerless to stop
them. M. Henry summoned NJ. Ber
tauX, famed as cross examiner of
criminals, and M. Parisot, the gov
ernor of prisons, and the three men
talked long and earnestly but without
coming to any conclusion. Presently
a look of qualification overspread the
countenance of NJ Henry. He turned to
his colleagues.
Gentlemen, | have it."
What is it," they called in chorus.
BE seated" he responded, land
wait"
They did as they were bid and the
project touched a button. A messenger
responded.
Tell Vidocq to come here at once"
said M. Henry.
In few minutes the door opened
and a strong. well-built man with
square shoulders shambled into the
room. He had gray hair, thick nose,
blue eyes, smooth face and a per
petual smile. He glanced about him
in furtive way and realized that he
was in the presence of the triumvirate
of talent that ruled the underworld of
Paris. He squared himself as a man
would who was preparing to be on the
defensive. But the first words of the
project treasured him. ''Vidocq. we
need your assistance"
The man bowed low
M. Hehry, am at your service alb
solutely."
The project handed him the report.
Take that and read it carefully.
1t is one of many. The criminals are
having carnival. | want you to cap
ture this gang. My regular police
have failed. They bring me only ex-
cuses; l wish you to bring me the
prisoners
Vidocq smiled that everlasting smile
and bowed again.
1t SHALL be as you wish, M. Henry"
He left the room with three bat
teries of sharp eyes leveled at him.
M. Berkaux shrugged his shoulders.
"A qua4k doctor sent to caputre
burglars"
M. Parisot spread out his hands in
disgust.
"A showmsn's clown, a petty thief
on the detective force"
NJ. Henry smiled blandly.
Gentlemen, You are not alone in
your disapproval Do you see these
