Of Adam and Eve and their expulsion
from the Garden of Eden.
The episode Of the serpent much ex.
cited the converts, and when the mis-
sionary arrived at the blacks camp
on the following day, the natives had
collected half hundred or more
snakes, which they brought out for the
good mans inspection.
But why do you want me to exam
inc them?" asked the parson, puzzled.
The chief of the tribe winked know

is to fight the enemies of society had
his own powers to rely upon. Be
tween him and the criminal it was
skill against skill, art against art.
Then came the modern inventions
railways, steamers, the telegraph, the
telephone-and matters grew worse
for the detective. Alas! it was the
murderers, the forgers, who had the
advantage, inasmuch as they could
steal long march upon Nemesis, and
get their accomplices to use the tele-
graph and the telephone for their
benefit.
'The question, therefore, was to dis
cover a system by which society, and
not its foes, would reap the advantage.
Ladies and gentlemen, this system has
been found, and the man to whom we
owe it, and whose name will go down
to posterity, is M. Bertillon."

Either my suspicious were unbound

At the Prefecture they were as

stand, and fought desperately against
the overwhelming odds; but, finally,
like all the other criminals I have
seen, he broke down before the pitt

Yes, he was Simon; but as, accord
ing to law, he had to be tried in
Cayenne for having escaped, and on
suspicion of having murdered Ay-
mard, he was at once conveyed to the
lie de Re to be sent out to the penal
settlement.
But, despite my warning, the Off
