CAUGHT at Last,

To bring about the victory Of good
over evil has been assumed to be the
especial aim of saints and sages; but
savages, 1t seems, may sometimes be
militant in the same cause. In his re.
cent book, THE White Waterfall" Mr..
James Francis Dwyer relates the story
of a missionary who preached to
tribe of blacks in northern Queens.

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.

Editors Motel made M. Goron's ac-
quaintance some years ago. and was at
cnce struck with his extraordinary pow
ers of observation. his keen -wittedness,
and his devouring energy in the discharge
of his difficult duties. For It must be re-
inembered that the Chief of the Paris De-
tective Police wields enormous power and
is allowed a certain discretion-except. of
course, when a crime has been committed
to save innocent persons the disgrace OF

Yes. 1t Is my diary" he repeated; but

fore, thought that instead of giving
you narratives offering but little in
terest, would draw your attention to
the curious evolution which the de-
tective's profession, like everything
nowadays, has undergone.
wears ago, the man whose duty 1t
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! 1t 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 it's 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. Bertllon."
I undid the parcel which my "nep-
hew," at my request, had brought up
stairs.

the instruments used in the anthro-
pometrical department for the identi-
fication of those who, having previ.
ously fallen into the hands of the po-
lice, expect to escape detection by
changing their names, or altering, as
they think. their appearance"

He hesitated moment, and then
said, with what appeared to me a
forced smile:

thing done before"
well. have set my mind upon
measuring you. Ladies'" cried, to a
couple of American girls, who had
been among the first to be operated
upon, please take him into custody
and bring him to me-"
Amid shouts of laughter they seized
him and pulled him toward the table.
This time he scowled.
"1s this meant for a joker" he re-
marked.
"Of course. 1t Is part Of the fun"
Either my suspicious were unfound-
ed, or the man had mavelous selfpos-
sion. He never moved a muscle while
being measured.
Others were now pressing forward,
but, on the pretext that had no more
cards, l withdrew to the smoking
room, whittier Vernet had gone, fol-
lowed by my detective. The latter
had given Vernet prepared card.
and had quickly slipped into my hand

upon I went into corner to compare
it with the official document relative
to Simon, which had borrowed from
NJ. Bertillon's office.
A glance was sufficient. The fig

"Have you said goodnight to the
lady Of the house?" asked.
He turned sharply around.

Hush! Don't make a scene. Say
good-by to the hostess, and tell her
you will have to leave Paris to-mor-
row on long journey. You will be
telling the truth. Co."
He did not move.

whispered, 81 advise you not to make
scene. 1t Is not to Charles Vernet

the criminal at bay. Yet l could not
help admiring the mans nerve. He

a few more people in seemingly un-
concerned manner, and walked down.

In the hall, where a servant hand

signal from me, cleverly searched
Vernets pockets, and withdrew some
thing which he handed me. 1t was q

stand, and fought desperately against
the overwhelming odds; but, finally.
like all the other criminals l have
seen, he broke down before the pitt
less Bertillon system.
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,
cials at the lie de Re prison did not
keep a careful watch on Simon, for
the day before he was to have been
put on board the steamer, he managed
to strangle himself.
