too pious. He seems to have been well
acquainted with the churches and clergy
of Paris. At one place he presented
himself as the secretary of the Cathohc
Youth Society, at another time as a
Catholic law student, and at third as
the servant Of a well known able. On
one occasion he presented himself with
a brand-new bicycle which. he said, had
been given to him for his services by the
archbishop, and on Fridays he invariably
got a good meal at the parish houses BY

staying nothing but meat was TO be had

but in one case he pushed his piety too
far.
He asked a parish priest to put or the

society who were to arrive. and which

led to suspicion, and the too pious beggar
