Unable any longer to continue in Paris, the tailor went to New York, where, two years afterward, he married again. In the month of January the new couple came to Paris and rented an apartment in the Avenue Frlediand. Last Wednesday, as the tailor was walking in the Champs Elysees he saw a lady, who looked marvelously like his first wife, driving in a handsome Equipage, and, hiring a cab, jie followed her to a hotel in the Avenue D’Eylau. There an explanation took place. It was indeed his first wife, who declared that she had been kidnaped and kept in seclusion for three months by a man whose name she had never been able to ascertain.
