Mr.. Russell during his visit In Paris will
be highly appreciated by me.
Yours very truly,
LA MES T. HENDERSON,

Supr- Police
That's about perfect" soliloquised the
detective, because It transgresses every
known rule of French letter writing, and
that alone stamps IL as English. The
Esquire is particularly good. English
men, even of education, are perpetually
making that mistake when addressing
letters to this country. Paris, France
also is not bad. NJ. Henderson would
doubtless be careful lest his friend Mr..
Russell should present 1t at Paris, Ken
lucky, or Paris, Texas"
The project of police had hardly time
to place himself in the dignihed attitude
in which it was his custom TO receive his
callers next morning, when the door
swung open, and a gentleman, unmistak-
ably English and carrying in his gloved
hands a tall silk hat, and the inevitable
umbrella Of the rain-afiicted Briton, en-
tered the apartment. He was accom-
panied by lady whose grace of carriage,
and really handsome face. accentuated if
anything in the eyes of the Frenchman
the villainous fit of all her garments.
There should be law passed TO com
pei such people TO employ Partisan dress
makers. But even then they would never
look like our women" was his inward
comment, as be arose, and with the Do
likeness Of his race bowed low as be re
ceived his visitors.
Monsieur lie project. ] presume" said
the gentleman, in French which was sim
ply execrable. II have the honor Of ad-
dressing Monsieur Lablanche, the prefect
Of the Partisan police?"
~ am he monsieur"
Permit me TO present you 70 my wife,
Madame Russell-MOnsieur Victor La
blanche"
The Frenchman bowed more CALAMITY
than ever. Really, notwithstanding their
gaucheries, these English women were
quite charming. In fact, the project was
agreeably surprised with his visitors. The
Englishmans manner was perfect. With
his native dignity was blended a delight
full air of Difference and politeness. Not
withstanding his villainous prOnOuncia-
ton of the French language, be managed
TO make himself clearly understood. The
evident cordially Of his manner thawed
whatever reserve the project had sought
to hedge himself IN with. His heart
quite warmed TO the intelligent Lon
doner.
Il have the great fortune 10 be the
bearer OF a letter 70 you, monsieur" be
said, from the superintendent Of police
at Scotland Yard, our mutual friend
Mr.. James 4. Henderson"
II am delighted 10 see anyone who
comes 10 me introduced BY Monsieur hen
