 In the Bois de Boullogne the police have just arrested sporting brigand who has robbed many American vis- 1tors to Paris this summer. He own- ed an auto, lived in pretty villa in gay company and had dozen differ ent outfits, which he used as dis
 guises. Unsuspecting promenaders were held up at night, sometimes by man in evening dress, sometimes by chauffeur and again by a man in the holy garb of priset Complaints poured in at the police station at Neuilly, some persons saying that they had been stopped by an Apache in rags and others by young fel- low in a fine sporting suit At first the police imagined there was an or ganized gang of robbers, but by de- grees, as the criminal was always de- scribed as young man with certain peculiarities they became convinced that there was only one who disguis- ed himself in a new dress after each coup. He always had his face cov- cred with cloth fitting like a mask, so that none of his victims were able to give a description of his features Some had been robbed by a man who Jumped out of an automobile, and !. others by a man rushing out of the bushes. The police were entirely in the dark as to who he might be until they received note from the War Department asking them to arrest a young soldier who had deserted and , whose description tallied with that of the bandit. Two detectives were set < on his track and after ten days work they were able to, identify him and had found his address at handsome villa In one of the fashionable su- burbs. They called at the house early in the morning, and, getting fno answer. broke open the door, whereupon two young women who were inside attempted to protest Eagainst this intrusion. But tn, 1e- Etectives Were not long in finding their
 man, whom they dragged by the aegs from under his bed, where he Mad concealed himself. The number Ipf costumes they found in his c;csots convinced them they had captured the right party. There they found
 he sporting suits, the evening dress,
 he chauffeur's outfit, the Apache $ Eags and even the priests cassock. The mans method was to go tc the
 fashionable cafes in the Bois de 6oulogne and listen to the co1velsa-
 jon of customers. When he had se-
 ected likely victim he would fol-
 low him and as soon as he ra he'd
 lonely spot would hold up revolv- Pr to his face and ask for his purse
 If he did not succeed in finding 8 vic
 Jim he would get into his auto and arive up to any pedestrian out of reach of help and demand his pocket book in the same way. While it last pd the business was very profitable
 The man had money to burn and
 turing the day would frequent the
 most fashionable establishments,
 Hhere he cut wide sway. One of
 De women who was in the villa at
 be tiZle of his capture, has also been
 E2ae bd, but she seems to have been Ire only by force, as he threat
 nets fer with his revolver if she dar- bd leave him. He passed himself off As dramatic author and his nick Ename among his friends, two of whom Americans whom he had robbed, twas "Courant d'Air."
