Joyed py the Apaches is due TO their really won.
tharo " eaniza'on. They form community by
themselves, apart from all the rest of Paris
WIN 'heir own laws, courts and executioners
.neir secret passwords and almost their own
iansuase' LOT the argot they use is practically
uhlnteillglble to others. Merciless toward their
victims they are no less merciless in furnishing
those OF their own number who are convicted Of
treachery.
A few years ago one Painblanc was accused
OF being in league with the police He was for
inaily Drought to trial. the Judge being leader
known as "PEspagnol" The charge against
PainDlanc was not fully proved, but his loyalty
was SO doubtful that he was sentenced to exile
Rising from his chair in the obscure dive where
the trial was being held he hurled his knife at
lEspagnol with unerring accuracy, and the Judge
Ien dead with the blade in his heart. The police
rushed In and carried Painblanc to prison, the
Apaches making no effort to him.
Another alleged traitor was Albert Durn. He
was condemned to death and two Apaches tied
MIN to the rails of tunnel of the Belt Line
railway of Paris. He was found before train
passed and rescued. How many traitors have
been executed by their comrades it is impossible
to know, for only in such cases as the foregoing
do the police learn about the operations of the
tribunals"
The Apache highwayman operates swiftly and
skillfully, and lone strangers in the streets of
Paris are never safe from his attacks His favo
rite method, known lie coup du Pere Fran
co.'s is to strangle his victim by twisting
handkerchief about his neck. After robbing the
senseless man, the thug frequently will kill him
with the knife, for the Apaches seem to delight
in wantoa murder done in what they choose
to consider an artistic" way, IL the criminal
is arrested, score of his companions spring UP
apparently from the very pavement, and unless
the police in force they are speedily routed
and the prisoner is rescued.
An observant visitor in Paris may see Apaches
male and female on almost any street, but it is
in the Place de la Roquette that they are to be
found in crowds on OCCASION. There is set up

HE PUZZLED THE BRITISHER
Evidently Doorkeeper Had Never
Heard Of the Lord That Ameri-
can Minister Served.

Judge George F. Lawton of the Mid
dlesex probate court told me story
the other day of an American minis
ter who was spending his sabbatical
year travelling abroad. Arriving In
London. he made every effort to get
an intimate view of the two branches
of parliament in session. OF course
no stranger is allowed on the floor Of
the house Of lords. but the minister
not knowing this. and with the usual
amount of American push, tried to
make his way in. There is a rule,
however, that servants of the various
lords may be admitted to speak to
their ministers Seeing the minister
walking boldly in, the doorkeeper
asked:
What lord do you server"
What lord?" repeated the aston.
ished American, "the lord jehovah"
For moment the doorkeeper hesi-
tated and then admitted him. Turn
Ing to an assistant standing near, he
said
HE must mean one of those poor
Scotch lairds." Boston Record.
