THE DAIL‘

as A CLEVER STROKE OF BUSINESS,

A Detective Chases the Wrong Parties, While the Thief Takes Himself Away. :: t :: 3:

SOOOOSOOOOO96OO 440495006

In July, 1867, M. Henri Gretry died in Paris, leaving a large fortune. A few days later there was a large family gath- ering at the house of his son, M. Charlies Gretry, on the Boulevard St. Germain. The dead man had left express instruc- tions that certain aged distant relatives should be provided for, and his children and scme old friends met to consult as to the best way to carry out the wishes of the deceased. They were conversing in a parlor in the rear of the grand saloon when the report of a pistof was heard, followed by the crash of glass. The par- ty in great alarm entered the saloon and found that a splendid mirror of great value, oecupying the wall in the center of the saloon, was badly shattered. A few seconds after the catastrophe a gen- tleman dressed in black, with an overcoat over his arm, appeared at the door and was admitted by a servant.

“I am afraid I am late, Jacques,” he said as he entered the hall.

“No, monsieur,” the servant answered, supposing that he was one of those invit- ed; “they had just assembled when an accident happened which has disturbed them.”

“Ah! What was that?” the gentleman said, and then, not waiting for ah an- swer, eomtinued: “See, I have soiled my hand. Iwill go up stairw'to thé lavatory and return instantly.” .

With that he ascended the stairs, and the servant jeined the company, who were examining the shattered mirror in the saloon. Soon afterward Charles, a son of M. Gretry, quitted the house, in- forming the concierge at the gate that he was going to give information of what had oecurred at the house.

“A gentleman has already left for that purpose,”’ said the concierge.

“Ah! De you know who it was?” Charles said.

“I didn’t recognize him,” was the reply. “He was a gentleman in black, with an overcoat over his arm.”

“I cannot think who it could be,” Charles said. “At all events, my going also can do not harm.”

He departed and returned soon with two officers. Examination showed that a bullet from the outside had passed through a plate glass window and struck the mirror in the center. No clew to the perpetrator of the act could be discovered outside in the grounds. Next mornirg a detective named Perclet came to the mansion and found the family in a state of great excitement. Mme. Gretry’s jew- el case, containing gems valued at 300.- 000 francs, was missing. When Perclet learned the fact, he asked:

“When was it last seen?”

“We are in mourning and wear no jewelry at present,”” Mme. Gretry said; “but I made it my business every even- ing when preparing for dinner to see that the case and its contents are sufe in my escritoire, and I did so last evening. This morning I discovered that the escritoire had been forced and my jewels removed.”

Perclet. examined the escritoire and carefully scrutinized the grounds around the louse. He questioned the concierge and learned all about the gentleman in black carrying an overcoat who had pass- ed out the previous evening just after the catastrophe and who had said that he was going to inform the petlice. Jacques, whose duty it was to admit vis- itors, was likewise questioned and told how he had admitted just at the time of the smashing of the mirror a gentleman who answered the description of the per- son who had soon afterward passed the concierge, saying that he was going for the police.

“He knew my name,” Jacques said, “and I supposed he was one of the per- sons invited, and when he proposed to go to the lavatory I thought it was all right.”

“That was the man,” the detective said. “And the person who fired the shot was his accomplice. It was a very clev- er stroke of business.”

The concierge didn’t remember having seen the man who passed out enter by the gate. The man who fired the shot might have entered the grounds by the gate, but he certainly did not leave that way, as no one passed after the firing of the shot except the man already de- scribed and Charles Gretry.

The grounds were not extensive. There was a very high wall covered with fo- liage near the spot where the man who did the deed must have stood, as the ball nassei diagonally from the window to

| the mirror, ‘he foliage on the wall was

| undisturbed

At the rear of the house was a wall equally as high and sur- mounted with impassable chevaux de frise. The wall on the ether side joined the rear wall and extended for half the distance toward the gate. It was like- wise protected at the top with iron spikes. The other half of this wall was unprotected and about half the height of the rest, so as to permit the boughs of some fine dwarf oaks growing in the grounds adjacent to expand. These grounds belonged to M. de Suinne, with whom his daughter and her husband lived. The detective asked permission to examine the grounds and was inform- ed that M. de Suinne was an invalid and could not be seen and that his son-in-law, M. Bradier, and his wife had that morn- ing started for England.

“You had better see M. Moyet, M. de Suinne’s valet,” said the concierge.

Perclet did so and was confronted by a gentlemanly man of about 40, who in- stantly granted the favor asked and ac

companied the officer over the grounds. M. Moyet expressed unbounded aston- ishment when he heard of the robbery at M. Gretry’s. The detective saw that it was an easy thing for a nimble person to ascend the walls from M. de Suinne’s grounds and to return, But how could a thief get into M. de Suinne’s premises, for they were even more carefully pro- tected from intruders than M. Gretry’s.

“It is impossible for any one to enter the grounds after dusk without our knowledge,” the valet said. “Every night at sunset two blood mastiffs are let loose, and any trespasser would undoubt- edly be attacked.”

When" Perélet reported to M. Gretry, that gentleman said:

“Moyet is @ most excellent and trust- worthy person. He was in my employ for many years and before that had stud- ied medicine and was a most skillful and velued nurse and attended my late fa- ther with indefatigable care and kind- ness. I would not have parted with him as long as my father lived. M. de Suinne, with whom we were very intimate, de- sired his services, and we offered no op- position.”’

Perclet devoted some time to thought. M. Bradier, M. de Suinne’s son-in-law, he knew was a broker, reported to be well off. He might have business in Eng- land. But why should his wife accom- pany him when her father was liable to die at any time? Perclet consulted with his chief, and in a few hours it was as- certained that on the day of the robbery Bradier had drawn from his banker 50,- 000 francs. Perclet visited M. Gretry.

“You told me, monsieur,” he said, “that you and M. de Suinne’s family were on intimate terms. When did any of them visit you last?”

“Mme. Bradier was here on the day of the robbery, early in the morning.”

“Did she know of the family gathering that was to be held?’

“It was a subject of conversation.”

“Did she inform you that she and her husband were about to start for Eng- land?’

“Certainly not. Did they do so?”

“They did.”

Perclet sought out Jacques and had a conversation with him.

“The man in black, with the overcoat over his arm, did he remind you of any one ever employed in the house?” Per- clet asked.

Jacques seemed lost in thought.

“Do you often see M. Moyet?” Per-. clet inquired.

Jacques opened his eyes and put his hand to his mouth as one in amazement.

“Weill, it is most surprising,” he said. “Now you mention the name, the man looked just as I can imagine M. Moyet would look if he was dressed in the style of a rea! gentleman.”

“That is enough,” said Perclet.

Then he had a long talk with M. Gre try, after which he started for Calais. There he learned of the departure of those he sought for London. He went there and tracked them back to Calais and found them at a hotel. As soon as they bad retired to a room he followed and knocked at the door. It was opened by M. Bradier.

“Excuse me,” said Perclet, advancing into the room in spite of M. Bradier’s attempt to prevent his entrance. “I am « Paris detective, and I demand the re turn of a casket of jewels which yow s’ole from the house of M. Gretry. De liver them without trouble, and then I am instructed to allow you to go scot free.”

M. Bradier was thunderstruck. Mme. Bradier, when she heard a man’s voice, turned toward the speaker and ex- claimed:

“My God! this?’

“I know as little as you,” her husband answered and, addressing Perclet, said:

“Explain yourself, sir, and do it quick- ly, or I will summon the police.”

Perclet was taken aback and began in a stammering way to make clear his mis- sion. Finally he managed to get out the story of the robbery?

“You have made a grave mistake, sir,” said. M. Bradier. Closing the door, he said:

“Show me your authority.”

Perclet did so, and M. Bradier, after speaking with his wife for a moment, said:

“You are a public officer, and as such are bound to keep secret the explanation which I am about to give of our sudden departure from Paris. It is true that Mme. Bradier was at M. Gretry’s house the day on which you say the jewels were stolen. But she then knew nothing of the journey to England. At my office that morning I received a cable dispatch from England that our daughter, who was at school there, had eloped with and married a gentleman whom we knew, but to whose marriage with our daughter we cowd not consent. I immediately drew money from the bank and went home. My wife resolved to accompany me te England, and the painful circumstances of which we were informed were com- 5B ated by her to her father, who,

an invalid, is, a man of strong mind and bore up bravely; suffering in- Gnitely less than if my wife had absented

The Lake Erie Grape Beit.

Americans are accustomed to great fig res of almost any kind in relation te the fruits of California, It seems natural to read of thousands of tons of raisins in ‘uat state and oranges by thousands of carloads. But who would estimate the grape Crop of the strip of country along the southern shore of Lake Erie between a point about 25 miles west of Buffalo und Sandusky at the immense total of 135,000,000 to 150,000,000 pounds?

That means nearly or quite two pounds for every Man, woman and child in the United States, and yet the belt of coun- try in which the grapes are grown is so narrow that its total area is small. Some parts of it are very scantily provided with vineyards, and no section is wholly devoted to grape growing. Yet it takes about 7,500 carloads to move the crop every year.—Cleveland Leader.

Yes, and then estimate the crop be- tween & point 15 miles of the east and west line of Sandusky, which takes in KXelly’s island and the Bass islands, and you have more acres of grapes propor- tionately than in” the territory east of

“TI have been troubled with eczema in almost its worst form for the past three years. At times my back and shoulder blades were literally covered with patches like water blisters, and these, accompanied with terrible itch- ing on my legs, put sleep out of the question, JI tried various well-known ointments (names Mentioned), and did everything possible to obtain relief, but with little success. I had frequently heard of Dr. Chase’s Ointment, but meeting with so many disappointments, I had not tried it. Seeing the advertise- ment one day I concluded to get a box. fince using Dr. Chase’s Ointment, I am like a new being. Its soothing and healing properties are simply marvel- lous, and I am honestly grateful te Dr. Chase’s Ointment for the release from long suffering.’
