And Vidocq was a reformed thief. For many years he had been one of the class to whose detection and punish- ment he afterward devoted his life•. It was in 1812 that he was appointed chief of the secret police of .Paris, Ile reta..tin lc this position until 1825. Curiously enough, he. died in poverty in 1857. It waseVI'. Heavy, prefect of the French police, \alio gave Vid0ece his first opportunity to demonstrate skill as a detective. A gang of thieves had been robbing houses in Paris and their operations finally became so. of- fensive that it was deemed necessary to take extraordinary measures to put them out of business. So Vidocq was commissioned to do the work with the understanding that he would be richly rewarded if he met witb success. No No one was more familiar with the ways of the underworld than was Vidocq and he determined to con• tiuue his association with criminals in order now to obtain the evidence that would be required to convict them. He had once known a famous thief and fugitive galley -slave, Ger- main, and he resolved to win his way into the good graces of the law- breakers. After that he mingled with the thieves of Paris, with whom he be- came a hail fellow, well met. One of the first to meet and greet him with the hand of fellowship was Constantine, a giant of a man, who was the head and front of the very gang now engaged in robbing the houses of Paris. ' At the outset Con- stantine urged Vidoeq to join in the cracking of a particularly rich crib. He said that his gang had already come into possession of a key of the house and that it would be an easy job. Six ethers were to participate and it was urged that there would be more than enough loot to go around, Vidocq cheerfully agreed to join thein in the enterprise and said that he was especially attracted with the idea of getting the best of the "thief turned' square." He chuckled at the thought of waylaying himself, and the big thief thought the chuckle merely represented the satisfaction he felt' at the notion of assaulting ttfie thief -taker. The plans were carefully laid., Constantine was a man of system and he arranged the part each man 7. -aa to take in the robbery. A large garden wall sur- rounded the house to be entered and it was decided that Vidocq, being comparatively new, should take his place upon the wall and give the alarm in the event of the polioe ap- pearing on the scene. The detective eagerly assented to this agreement. It was just as he wished. On the way to the scene of the robbery he slipped into the hand of a gendarme a note addressed to the prefect of police. It instructed him to send a detail of men to. the scene at a speci- fied time, but not to arrest the rob- bers immediately. Instead it wag asked that the police follow the bur- glars to a room, where Vidocq prom- ised to have them all together. All of the details were carried out as pranned. The thieves went to the house at about midnight and man- aged to get in without difficulty. They grabbed the bags containing the loot and hurried to a nearby house, where Vidocq said they would have time to regain their wits. De- lighted to get away from danger, they followed lhi without a Lour= mut. In a few minutes they felt se- cure and began a division of the spoils. In spite of the old adage about honor among thieves, ',Constan- tine wanted the major part of the booty and his demands precipitated a fierce quarrel. It was at this mo- ment that Vidocq quietly gave the signal for the police to enter. They did so with their pistols cocked and primed. Every man in the room was taken into custody—that is every man except Vidocq. He was under the. bed where he could not be seen. On the way to the police station the robbers discussed- the strange disappearance of their colleague in crime. Constantine, especially, was angry at his odd escape. • He came to the conclusion that the fellow was a coward and tried to dismiss all thoughts of him from his mind. But at the hearing the next morning they were treatedto a great surprise. They had determined to proclaim their innocence and lay all the blame on the man who had disappeared. Then, to their dismay, Vidocq ap- peared in the witness box and gave testimony which sent all of them to Jail. Constantine was furious and tried to attack the detective in the c urt- room. He said many things that were not c I' om ime ar and d a�d d' p Y ded: "What do you call that sort of a trick?" "I call it 'the mouse trap.' You all walked into it even though jou were old rats that should have known better."

Ontario Solicitors for ' Executors, Latest Device in .Warfare Is a W,in- aer Oi(lensively and Defensively. The London Evening Standard gives the following details of the new armored cars used by the Brit- ish in the ,west: "Britain's Oast,: weapon of war is nothing more nor less than a huge land .ship fully armored and capable of travelling at fair speed over the shell -battered and cratered terrain of Picardy. Designed, as they are, to traverse the -most difficult country and to sweep away all obstacles in their path, they naturally are of fairly large size, with caterpillar wheels constructed to . cover the widest trench or shell hole and to enable the vehicle to tackle almost any depth of mire. Their crews are protected by varying numbers of ar- mored plates, any one of which is im- pervious to machine gun or rifle fire as well as shrapnel bullets, and it is asserted that only a direct hit from a gun of large calibre could put one of these monsters out of commission. "While from a defensive point of view they are almost perfect, their offensive qualities are even superior, and when they have cleared a trench of the enemy or have forced the sur- vivors into the shelter of their dug- outs, these land ships—'tanks,' as the Tommies prefer to call them— have another little surprise in store for the beaten enemy, about which perhaps it were wise not to say. more. "Most of the great engineering works in Britain can claim a share In the production of these armored cars. .They are built in parts at dif- ferent factories in order- to preserve the secret of their construction, and they are then assembled at a central factory under the supervision of ea{ perts of' the armored car division." Hall Caine, in a special article, says he has been told that if the Allies • had 3,000 "tanks" the war would be over in a month. Other writers say that the "tanks" smash trees and otlle r like obstacles to their progress, bitluditig wire- en- tanglements, with the greatest ease. They carry both large and small guns, 'weigh over 400 tons, and have a speed of live miles an hour. JAS. BEVERLEY 1_a FURNITURE DEALER Embalmer and Futeral Directa' Phone 74a.
