years ago.
General French, as he then was, at.

day, and as he pulled on his cigar he
noticed that 300 young Frenchmen had
nothing to smoke whatever.
Accordingly he sent to his tent for
three boxes of Havanas, and these
were quickly distributed among the
troops, rare treat truly. To show
their gratitude the soldiers without
consulting their sergeants lined up in
two files, marched toward the English
general, and, raising their right hands
to their caps and holding their lighted
cigars in their left hands, they shouted
as with one voice:
"Vive la Russe!''
They had mistaken the Uniform

AN ESCAPE
WlNKED AT
BY JOHN D. JAMESON

l have often been asked if in my de
tective work had sheered of from the
wrong trail when I was about to nab 8

did that, but 1 once lost a woman
whom had under arrest because had
become convinced that she was limo.

escape, but pretended to trust her. ]
was sorry afterward that didn't let
her know that I was willing she should
go, for l saw her do something to gain
her freedom that made my blood cur.
die.
A cashier of bank had been con.
victed of defalcation, had been sent to
the penitentiary and by means of steel
saws sent him by his wife had cut the
bars of window of his cell. She had
also provided him with a rope, on
which he had lowered himself to the
ground and had then thrown it over
the prison wall, she being outside to
catch it and secure the end. He then
climbed on to the wall, and his wife
and three of his friends had held a
blanket, into which he had jumped.
Then, getting into carriage, he had
been driven away.
The warden was quite sure that the
escaped mans wife had secured his
freedom, but had no evidence to sup
port the charge. Some time after the
escape was ordered by my chief to 70
TO Albany, where the woman was liv-
ing, arrest her on trumped up charge
and bring her to Philadelphia, where
the crime Of which her husband had
been convicted was committed. The
object was to force her to betray his
whereabouts, or, rather, to force him to
give himself up to secure his wife's
freedom.
l found the lady-she was q lady,
and refined lady, too-living in seclu-
sion. She doubtless surmised what
Kind of game was to be played on
her, for l saw her face set with reso-
luton. l did not believe anything
could be forced out of her. She went
with me without making any ado, and
| refrained from the indignity of plac-
ing handouts on her. l took seat be-
side her In the train, resolving to make
the journey as easy for her as possible.
During the ride to New York she told
me one Of the most interesting stories
of how a mans ruin may be planned
to save another that ever listened to.
II the person who laid the scheme had
devoted his genius to writing detective
stories he might have made a large
fortune. The most ingenious part of it
was that he fixed on an innocent man
SO that there was no way that he could
prove his innocence without casting an
aspersion on his own wife.
Not only did the lady make the Diff
ferent steps in the plot plain to me,
but by the artless way she told her
story convinced me that she had not
invented it and was telling the truth.
And when she told me that she and
her husband had intended to start for
Brazil with her children in q few days

adelphia. Having told me her story,
the lady sat silently weeping. Her ar.
rest had spoiled a plan that she and
her husband had been working and
! waiting for for several months. II her
story and my faith in its truth had not
conquered me her tears would have
done so-that is, being convinced of
her innocence. After leaving Trenton
I told her that l was going into the
smoking car.
aren't you afraid I'll escape? she
asked.
II don't see how you can," l replied.
''This train doesn't stop till we reach
Philadelphia, and before that III be
back"
l did not intend to return to her till
we were In the station at Philadelphia,
hoping that she would find a way Of
giving me the slip there, and thought it
possible that the train might pull up on
the way and 60 slow enough for her to
jump of.
l smoked several cigars. At one Of
the towns through which we passed
where there were many tracks I no.
t1ced that we were running beside a
train moving In the same direction as
ourselves and on the next track. The
two trains were so near together that
could put my hand in at the window of
the one beside us. Both trains were
going at pretty good speed.
Presently the other train began tc
pull ahead of mine. 1 was sitting In
the front seat Of the smoking car on
the side next the other train. Suddenly
as the platform of the rear car of the
other trains caught and passed the
platform Of my car saw my prisoner
bend forward, grasp the rail of the
platform beside her and step on to the
other train. She missed the rail she
tried for, and I thought it was all up
with her, but she caught the rear rail
and succeeded in clambering on to the
platform. That's all l saw, for the
train she was on passed out Of sight.
1 thanked heaven that 1 had been
spared sending the poor woman to her
death and that she had escaped me.
Just before reaching Philadelphia l
went into the car where 1 had left my
prisoner and, not finding her, on reach
ing the hotel at which put up notified
my chief Of the woman's escape, telling
him exactly how she had effected it.
+ 1t is needless to say was discharg-
ed. After some difficulty found an
other berth and never regretted what I
had done. Many years after the lady's
husband was exonerated, and the story
just as she told it to me came out in
the newspapers.

BY A HAIRS
BREADTH
By EMMA BRUCE

During the French revolution, in the
midst of the reign of terror, when
crowds Of condemned mobiles were be-
ing hurried to the guillotine, a number
Of tumbrils 1.-TWO wheeled carts) drew
up in front Of the Conctergerie prison
for victims. They were filled, all but
one, for which it seemed there were no
persons intended for the ak, and the
driver was about to move away, think.
ing that he was not needed, when a
young man was led out and placed in
his cart.
''Driver," said the condemned man,
If you will permit me to escape and
l succeed in getting out Of France
will give you 100000 francs. l am the
Marquis de Fontaigny. Our family
long ago deposited a fortune in Eng
land"
What good would 100000 francs do
me without my head?' was the reply.
They would guillotine me In your
place."
Leave France with me. Think Of
the fortune you will gain. Have you a
sweetheart? Fancy the little home you
can make with her."
The man began to lag farther behind
the other tumbrils, which in the start
had got away before him. Presently
he drew rein and, getting down from
his seat, pretended to fix the harness.
When the other carts had passed al
most out of sight he got up again and
drove on till, coming to a narrow side
street, he turned into it, at the same
time reaching back with one hand and
cutting the rope that bound the prison
er's hands.
Get up on the seat beside me-
The marquis in his anxiety to escape
death was about to jump out Of the
cart, but the driver stopped him. When
they were side by side he told the mar
Quis to take of his coat and throw It
down into the cart, and, taking OF his
own waistcoat-he wore no coat-he
gave it to the marquis to put on. Then,
taking clay pipe from his pocket, he
put it In the marquis mouth. All this
was done, scarcely person noticing it,
in few moments. Then the two
drove on as If they were of the same
rank in life and but on an ordinary
purpose. Fontaigny took care to play
his part we'll.
Monsieur" said the driver, Il want
no pay for what am doing. I am
tired Of driving people to their death
and will 60 away with you If we can
elude those who are expected to catch
US. Our success will depend upon the
luck we have in not being soon missed.
But let us take no chances as to that"
With the last words he drove the
cart into an entrance to a court behind
grocer's shop. Then both he and
the marquis got down and, seeing an
open door, entered it and, passing
through passageway, came to the
rear Of another shop opening on an
other street. y..,. ss5

The nearest border for them was

over the route that many an emigre of
the revolution had Travelled before
them, only, instead of keeping to q
main road, they deviated from one as
much as possible. The marquis COM

Boyer, proved by far the better STRAIT
egist Of the two, and it was due to his
we'll laid plans and cool head that they
succeeded In escaping suspicion.
Since the marquis was in company
commoner's clothing, it was not diff
cult for them to get on without excit-
ing attention. The main feature Of
their escape was in the beginning,
there being no clew to what had be-
come Of them. In due time they reach

fore the young marquis was embraced
by his widowed mother, who, having
learned of his arrest, had given him up
