When they found him. he behaved typically.
He covered. wrapped in half of the ancient
brown velour drape which was attached with
heavy wooden rings to pole overhead. A
scream came from the bedroom of the-con-
cierge when she saw where the fiend had hid
den She clutched her two children to herself
and ran out the front door to inform the wait
ing mob that he had been caught.
Unable to remove the culprit as he was, or
wrapped in the drapery. policeman put his
cape as protection around Monsieur St. Juste
1t was fortunate that the police were there in
large numbers and that Monsieur St. Juste
was camouflaged with blue cape and not
instantly recognizable for as he was brought
out, the fury of the mob was almost whipped
into action.
The prisoner was quickly packed off into
the dark blue wagon; two motorcycle police
made way for it. The second wagon with
police followed; and. after this, the car Of the
inspector of the Brigade Mondaine. r" Hoo
paw, Hoopaw," howled the cars. and the mob
followed them across the bridge.
1T WAS evident that this was case for the
criminal courts rather than for a magistrate
and, therefore, Camille St. Juste found HIM
self facing the examining judge of the Parquet
of the Seine. As he was seated there, shackled,
and offered cigarette. which he declined. as
Monsieur St. Juste neither drank nor smoked,
he merely shook with an inner excitement.
Finally something had happened to him. and
he had he knew. a plot - the kind that fitted
into the Rue Morgue rather than into the
Street Where the Heart Lies. He wondered
whether he should let life 60 on spinning the
yarn for him, or whether it was better to
explain.
The Judge of instruction, as the examining
judge is called in France. disappointed Mon
sieur St. Juste, for he was kind soul, who
seemed to be concerned about him. "VoyOns,"
he said. with reproach. to the inspector of the
Brigade Mondaine." He said it 50 that it
meant, But you've made mistake. This is
evidently not criminal" The inspector read
off his notes. The judge became more SYM
pathetic to the accused and ordered the hand
cuffs removed. Tell me what happened"
Monsieur St. Juste made the gesture all
Frenchmen use to denote that something fam
tastic has happened. He threw both arms into
the air, thereby disrobing himself again. He
quickly folded the cloak about his thin shoul-
ders and. clutching it. retired into his shyness
1HE thorough. patient judge finally drew
out of him that it all had started with bath.
You stated that you were about to take
bath, monsieur" He looked at the deposition.
you stated that you had turned on the hot
water -"
Bon Dieu," cried the accused. 1T is still
running - the hot water!"
We'll. then. monsieur. said the judge, "the
matter is very simple. You will be taken back
to your house. If it is flooded. your story
holds water. and you are restored to liberty
and honor"
The judge stood up and shook his hand.
Again the ''Hoopaw, Hoopaw" was heard and
