There was nothing to be found, however, and by preserving a stolid silence and leaving all speech to ' me, my companions escaped suspicion just as I did.

Arguments and objections counted for naught. “Every city employe from the mayor down is going to get his check at home,” Commissioner Murphy said. “Every member of the commission council is in the same fix as the street laborer in this move. The money be- longs in the home and I am going to do my best to put it there, and then iIf some of the wives cannot keep it there, that is their fault.” One of the men affected tried to substitute the address of a police sta- tion for his residence address; nthers hurried to the post office and rented boxes, but when the payrolls were made up the commissioner checked with the old lists, organized a week ago, tendered his resignation at a meeting of the cluh last night. “Too busy with politics,” was the reason he gave for withdraw. ing from the club, The redl reason, however, was the flood of letters he recelved as head of the Bachelors’' club from girls of At- lantic City and surrounding communi. ties, ‘“What it every eligible man the same way as you do abont one letter asked. Most of ths letters assalled the bachelors' organi- zation, Whether the fact that women now play a large part in politics induced Nichols to step out, or whether he had a change of heart for another cause could not be learned. From ' the standpoint of eligibllity, Nichols ranks high.

Given a certain amount of resignation and pa- tience ,and I knew very well that I was safe as long as I chose. One day a chance incident set me thinking. We had paused for a second to fill our pipes with filthy to- bacco, berely a dozen yards round one of the hairpin corners of the forest road, leaving our wagons, as usual, in the middle of the thorough- fare . Suddenly a car swung round the corner, traveling too fast for the driver to apply his brakes with safe- ty. With great skill he passed us, grazing the long trunks of the lopped trees and escaping the precipice by a matter of inches. That night I saw that Pierre and Jacques drank more than their usual share of the sour wine, and afterward I propound- ed my scheme. “Comrades,” I said, “it is a dog's life we lead.” They growled assent. “Today,” I continued, ‘“an idea| came to me, If our wagons had been an inch or two nearer the out- side corner of the road, or the man in the automobile a shade less skillful, he could not possibly have escaped. His automobile would have been smashed, and he would have gone over the dge of the precipice.” “They made strange noises in their throats and continued to listen. “It's a dog's life, this,” I repeated. ¢ What we need, to make things en- durable, is money—money, so that| you two can go down to the cafe at| the foot of the hill and drink brandy | with the daughters of the village, they who leave you now so unkindly alone because you have nothing to spend upon them.” | Their pipes were out of their| mouths now, and they were listening intently. “A man like that one today would have money—a pocketbook. Whilst | he was unconscious, look you, we would take it. One of us would bring | it' up here ,here where there are a hundred hiding-places, in the ground, | the trees, the cracks of the earth. A pocketbook which is lost, is lost. What do you say, comrades?” There was no doubt about how the scheme appealed to them. “It would be an equal share tween the three?” Pierre urged. ‘Between the three,” I agreed. #Leave the details to me.” We went to our work morning with a new zest. time we were at work in we were thinking of what fortune be- the next All the the forest | WAS I WHO CLAMBERED | TO WHERE OUR VICTIM ND DREW A PLEAS- It DOWN WAS LYING A ING PURSE. | | we must select with great care, for| it will be my last. It is is successful, I shall elave you. Afterward you two had better bury your savings in| the ground and abandon the game, | for it needs brains to be made success- ful, and you two have not the brains of a rabbit betwen you.” | They knew that I was right, and they held their peace. It was a month later, indeed, before we made our ldst coup ,and it ended in a very| different fashion from what I had| anticipated. From my lookout place | on a stretch of the road above the wagons, I saw a gray touring car, piled with luggage and golf clubs, ap- proaching from the direction of Cannes. There was a girl in front, seated by the driver ,and an elderly| gentleman behind. T called down to the others. “Comrades, this is our chance,” I announced. ‘Move the wagons on around the corner, and be prepared tor what may happen.” ‘What did happen was not in the leasy what I had expected. From where, I lay, crouching amongst the | scrub, I could see that comething was wrong with the car. The chauffeur was rocking in his seat, and the car was swaying from side to side.

We crawled round each corner ,loitering at the psyrhn‘» logical spot always with the same evil hope in our hearts. The affair, however, was not | easy. Sometimes we were seen from | above or below; sometimes drivers| were too careful . On the fourth da however, success rewarded our perse- verence. A small automobile which I had spotted from a distance came round the corner where we were, 80 to speak, anchored, driven with that| full measure of recklessness which only a Frenchman, anxious to have his engine, can obtain. There was a wild cry from the driver, a crash into our wagon ,and over went the auto- mobile and man down the side of the precipice. It was I who clambered down to where our victim was lying, and drew & pleasing- looking black pocket-hook | from the inside of his coat. After- ward I felt his heart ,and discovered that he was alive. I ordered Pierre to move the wagons over to our own glde of the road. and we secreted the | pocketbook among the logs we were carrying. Presently a public touring car from Cannes, on its way to Hyeres, arrived. The accident was explained; room was made for the injured man; end a liberal pourboire was given us, L collected among the passengers. We then made our way home, and later on, when we had lighted our even- {ng fire ,we opened the pocketbook. I diyfded the money into thr:e portions, but I spoke to them as a master. “Listen, Jacques, and you, Pierre,” I sald. “I am a man of justice, but although I am one of you, I have traveled beyond these forests, and 1 know the world. If you take this money with to the village tonight, you will be drunk, the truth will be known and we shall all go to prison.
