 A month ago wealthy widow met with an automobile accident and an elegantly dressed man, who said he had been an officer, took her to a cafe for refreshment. She fell in love with him and consented to marry him. He introduced her to Poipon as his cou- sin.
 A week later the ex-officer, told his fiancee he had been appointed to high position in Morocco and he askeD that the marriage might be celebrated soon. He proposed selling the lady's furniture and sending to Morocco in advance her fine collection of rare books. She accepted and the books were packed up and taken away by the bridegroom" That is the last that was heard of him for some time. but it was afterward found that he sold the rare books.
 The ex-priest was arrested, but he professes his innocence, saying that he himself was the victim of the other man.
