A CELEBRATED CASE.

Thin vohemont monologue seemed to calm her a little. She opened her basket and took from it a book which she fell to reading attentively. It waa a yellow covered volume and bore this seductive title: "Tho Lock of tho True Key of the Imperial Lotteries of France. The Certain Way to Win Annually 43,000 Franca and More with Very Little Money."

While the unlucky gamester was absorbed in this attractive muling a mu-t little old man, who had preserved |io queue and pigeon wings of the old ginii\ came and seated himself on the lime Intjich.

He glanced at his neighbor out of tho corner of hist eve and smiled with a wicked iur. A discreet cough revealed his ptvv.'uee to the lady, who at onco moved .is if to arise. The old man reatraini'd her with a polite gesture and »aid to her in a very soft voice: "Kindly excuse me, beautiful lndy, for permitting myself to address you Without, having the honor to bo kuown dy you.

the day after

beneath tho \vin-]n-,vr. of the winners. This institution of mother age disappcared in 1SU7 v.-hh tho public games, but in 1805 it was in operation in all the large cities of Franco, and in Paris the Rue Nenve-de^Petits-Chanips.where the lottery had its headquarters, presented three times a month—the 5th, 15th and 25th—a curious spectacle.

Hi,. iBth of February of that memorablo \var which was to finish with tho battle of Austerlitz tho crowd, as usual, besieged the door of the hotel in which tho drawings wero made. Noon had just struck, and the lato comers who had been unablo to got in wero impatiently awaiting the decree of fortune in the street. At 12:15 the door opened $nd the official criers began to shout the five numbers which tho innocent hand of a child had drawn from tho urn—59, 80, 44, 85. 11. The players received them with groans and hisses, for fate had not favored a single ono among those poor people. For some minutes there was a frightful din. Then the throng began to scatter into all tho ad-% jacent fitreou'i, and tho quarter gradually resumed its customary aspect.

Among the victims of this unlucky drawing was a woman of middle age whoso nHir.) nnnotmcort competence and whoe (Vut utv did not lack distinction. She held in ono hand a huge wicker basket mid in (-he other an enormous umbrella, wliir.li alio brandished as she strode along talking aloud, although she was entirely alone. She turned to the right, went down the front steps of the Palais Royal, entered tho garden and throw hern 'If upon a bcnch in the alloy which runs parallel with tho Rue do Vnloifi. "Brigand of a blind man!" said sho, between her teeth, "rascal of a beggar! ho promuuvl ma my three in tho drawing of the loth without fail and yet my numbers did not como out!"

fSjfr, ,, fr w-t^r-l"-

88. The dghty-oight has not come oat for eighteen months. I will pat my last ecu on the combination it shall never be said that the Baronne de Molden drew back!" ,"

With this heroic speech the woman threw her hook into the basket, seized her umbrella, suddenly arose and went off without even saying good-by to M. Marseille Pere, mathematician.

This strange dialogue seemed wholly natural in 1805. The Baronne de Molden, an old maid whom the emigration had not corrected, of the habit of gambling, represented a type very widely spread at that epoch when the lottery had replaced Lansquenet. As to the professor of lock, the race has been perpetuated mid can still be found at Monaco, but it was then abundant in Paris. What will never be seen again, it is to be hoped, is a criminal trial like that of the blind man whom the baronne cursed.

The Mardi Qras which followed Feb. 15 that poor devil bundled up Ms little traps at nightfall and prepared to regain the Hospice des Quinze-Vingta. For more than twenty years he had occupied his place on the Pont au Change, which he had come to consider his personal property.

Ho was between 50 and 60, still straight and vigorous. Blind at birth he had commenced life by beggibg in the streets. Later he had succeeded in getting admitted to the Quinze-Vingts, and thanks to some municipal protection he had acquired the privilege of occupying the corner of the Pont au Change and the Qnai des Lunettes. Every morning ho installed himself there, returning to tho hospital only in the evening.

Tho Revolution had not changed his habits. He had been indifferent to the riots and the executions. Daily, during tho terrible years 1793 and 1794, the carts loaded with victims emerged from the conciergerie ten paces from where he sat. Tho grinding of the wheels, the shouts of the soldiers and the vociferations of the crowd warned him of the passage of the condemned without causing Mm to suspend the piercing music of his clarionet. It is true that tho excitement of tho spectacle had no existence for him. He heard the Terror, but did not see it,

This man, whom all Paris know, called himself Philippe Bellanger. With timeho got together a little competency and led an easy life. Eegging was not his solo resource. Ho carved wood with much skill and made trifling objects, which he sold to passers by. But the major part of Ma revenue was gained by loss avowable means. He was reputed to be gifted 'with tho precious faculty of divining the.wianing numbers in the lottery. Bellanger had many customers to whom heboid infallible combinations. Two or three drawinga in which chance favored him had given Mm vogue, and in 1805 the blind man of good luck, as he was styled, excited the envy of all Ms confreres in blindness.

In the early days qf his prosperity Bellanger had employed a certain Widow Capulet, who served as Ms%uide, and a youth named Pinson, who drow the little wagon loaded with the trifles ho fabri cated. The widow and tho 1ml fell in love with each other and got married, After five years of faithful service they had abandoned the blind man to go to housekeeping, and tho poor devil, re duced to the company of lib dog, had experienced a considerable diminution of his receipts. A bitter animosity was engendered in the blind man by tMs He did not show it, however, and remained on terms of intimacy with the Piosons*

On the evening of Feb. 25, 1805, the Mardi Qras already mentioned, as he was making his way to tho hospital, he stopped at the Faubourg Saint Antoine, where Ms former servants lived. He entered tho house, saving that he had come to warm himself for an instant and drink a few drops with his friends. He took from his great coat different objects which he placed on the floor beside the stove, among them a bottle of brandy. After drinking, tho blind man took tip his property and went away, remarking that he waa in a hurry.

After his departure Mme. Pinson was about to put in the firoabitof Wood which w.# beside the stove when she saw fall from it some black grains which seemed suspicious to her. Her husband, on closely examining it. discovered that the bit of wood was hollow and filled with gunpowder. The opening had been very deftly concealed by stopping it up with a big plug. The couple uttered cries of fright which attracted the neighbors. They talked the matter over and decided that the infernal machine oould have been bftmght only by the blind man. He alone had been there and, no doubt, had hidden it under his coat. The Pinsons had no great love for him and did not hesitate to denounce him without delay to tin1 commissary of police. An hour later, Bellanger, who was sleeping tranquilly in his chamber, was arrested, thrown into a nacre, taken to tho force and jailed on tho charge of attempted assassinAi ion. This might 'being him to the gttiile ne. The chances of the barojuitv's com Vitiation were looking np.

Two month afterward the blind man of good luck v.-.i: ht iK in prison and was preparing for h?s trial at lbs court of a-^te'ss. Hi urn ««v had become bitter* !v der^ry. h«l been unnuv-e and rcta!oro!cnt in their investigaiioas.

not fail to be present. The Baronne de Molden figured in the first row of the reserved places. The accused was defended by a lawyer named by the court, Maitre Lebon, one of the celebrities of the bar of that time. The proofB of the crime imputed to the blind man were not abundant, and not one of them was decisive. Unfortunately, a firowoita maker, summoned as an expert, bol/dy declared that tho bit of wood contained enough gunpowder to blow up the entire quarter. The effect of this testimony was terrible. Vainly Maitre Lebon strove to demonstrate that, even supposing his client capable of having prepared the infernal machine, there was no evidence to show he had brought it to the Pinsons' house. A verdict of guilty was rendered and the court pronounced the sentence of death. Bellanger grew wMte as marble, but, rising to his feet and turning his sightless orbs toward his judges, said in a firm voice: "I am innocent!" The gendarmes removed Mm, and that very evening he was transferred to the prison of Bicetre, where those condemned to the death penalty were then confined,

The news of the sentenoe spread immediately and excited the lottery gamblers to the highest degree. The trade of the blind man of good luck at once became very great, and from the depths of his dungeon he sold millions of numbers. Everybody bought them. The gendarmes, the jailers, and even the judges demanded combinations from the unfortunate man whom the scaffold was about to render infallible.

Bellanger applied for anew trial, but his application was rejected on the 7th of June. The baronne tripled her investment in the lottery drawing of the 15th. On the morning of the 10th criers spread about the streets, shouting, according to the wretchcd custom of the period "The decree condemning to the penalty of death a certain individual well known in Paris, Philippe Bellanger by name, will be executed today upon the Place de Greve, etc." The time fixed was 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Already the prisoner had arrived pt the conciergerie and commenced to suffer the anguish of the last day of a condemned man. The Place de Greye was packed with the curious. The guillotine was erected. Meanwhile Maitre Lebon and Maitre Colin had conceived the idea of endeavoring to obtain a reprieve for tho blind man. Tho emperor alone had the power to pardon and, two months before he had quitted Paris with the empress for Milan, there to be crowned long of Italy, but in his absence the cMef justice could suspend the execution. A retired actor named Beaulieu bore a petition drawn up by the two lawyers to him, and Ms excellency consented to submit tho case to Ms majesty.

It was time. Tho clock showed a quarter past 8. Tho toilet of the condemned man wa§ finished. Old Sanspn, the executioner, had given tho signal to his assistants, and the procession was about to start for the Place do Greve, when the order to stop proceedings arrived at the conciergerie. Bellanger fainted from joy on hearing the news. He was taken back to Bicetre and the crowd dispersed on seeing tho scaffold pulled down.

Tho baronno soon learned what had happened and was terribly enraged. The drawing of the 15th of June, wMoh was not favorable to her, put the finishing touch to her exasperation, and she declared that slio had renounced the lottery.

At that period it took nearly fifteijp days to he:u* from Milan. The public, persuaded that tho reprieve was equivalent to 5 pardon, paid no further attention to Bellanger. Peoplo thought so little? about him that on the morning of June 28 the payors wh saw that the guillotine luul bee rt.awl during the night on the Plate I Grevo asked themselves what criminal was about to die. They did not iv nnin long in uncertainty. A few minutes before 9 the cart rattled up and the crowd cried out, "It's the blind man! It's Bellangerf

It was ho, indeed* The pardon had been refused at Milan, and the cMef justice, severely reprimanded for having granted a reprieve, had hastened to finish matters.

Bellanger reached the foot of the scaffold. A shiver ran through the crowd when he mounted the steps with the hesitating and heavy tread of the blind. His pale face and sightless eyes appeared for an instant above the knife, wMch came down rapidly. They heard aloud cry, a hollow sound and all was over.

Thus died the blind man of good luck, and—this is one of the singularities of this strange Mstory—his sad fate inspired very little sympathy, if we .may judge from the newspapers of the fame, which unanimously approved the execution.

Perhaps the deceived lottery gamblers were bitter against him. Certain it is that by dint of cursing Mm the baronne fill ill. She remained nearly a month in tied, inveighing against pardoned, bind men and against the lottery, and, as she never read anything but the official list of tho drawings, she was ignorant of ItellansEer's death.

A DETECTIVE TELLS HIS EXPERIENCE WITH Sl/CH CASES.

Disappointment In Lore, Severity of Treatment from Parents and a Desire to See the World Some ot the Caoie*.

A Very Roman tie episode. "Men of our calling who make a specialty of criminal cases run across some very romantic stories," said Detective J. M. Fuller to a reporter. "The thought has occurred to me that should I ever desire to change my profession and become a newspaper man I would have a good stock of yarns to spring on an unsuspecting public, and could earn good space for several weeks without having to hustle around very much after material. "Tell you some' of the storied?" he queried in reply to the reporter's intimation to that effect. "Well, as there is no likelihood of my changing professions in the near future I will give you one of the stories I had thought of writing. It is about the disappearance of young girls. It is the most interesting of all the topics I have got, and as a matter of fact it is in that line that private detectives in New York find the most and more profitable of their work. In my own experience, wMch extends bver a period of abont twenty years, I have been called upon to investigate the disappearance, either voluntary or otherwise. of at least 100 girls of all ages from all parts of the country.

WHY MANY GIRLS LEAVE HOME.

"I only do a small share of the work that is done in that line, however. Taking into consideration the number of detectives who do as much in that line as myself, it-is fair to assume that at least 5,000 girls disappear from their homes every year. Some of them are recovered and some are not. "Some of my cases have been very romantic, add others just the reverse mostly the reverse. The causes leading up to the disappearances are as numerous as the cases themselves. Disappointment in love, a fancied wrong, severity of treatment by parents, a desire to see the world, the evil influences of improper association, the oily tongued rone and temporary insanity are some of the excuses made. Then there is another class of disappearances wMch properly come under the head of kidnaping, and still another, where tho parents are at loggerheads or have separated, and ono side or the other steals tho child, and in nearly every case, as strange as it may seem, the child is a girl. "I recall a case I had a few years ago where a mutual separation took place between the editor of a well known southern paper and Ms wife. The terms of tho separation were satisfactory to both partios, and they went their ways. The couple had a lovely little girl, 12 years of age, who by a provision of the agreement was to be sent to a con vent, to be educated, and access to her granted to eaCfe side. Shortly after the drawing of tho papers the wife came to New York, and stopped on hgp way at the convent. By cunningly misrepresenting the circumstances she induced the lady superior to give her possession of the cMld for one day.

I RECOVERING A GIRL.

''The child was smuggled aboard a train and by the next morning was beyond reach. Then tlte wife wrote to the husband, saying that until certain unreasonable money demands were complied with she should retain the sole custody of the child. The little one had been brought up to bo truthful and uptight, and before sho was permitted to write to her father, whom she idolized, a promise not to reveal her Mding place was extracted from her. Her letters wereifcnt to New York and remailed by an aunt. This was the state of affairs when the father reported the matter to me. "A watch was placed on the aunt, which was kept up day and night for a week. At the end of that time we had the pleasure of locating the mother and little girl in a small place near Bridgeport, Conn. Then we telegraphed the father, who came to New York as fast as steam would bring Mm. The day following his arrival he secured his lost one. They at once left for the south, and that ended the matter. "Another case was that of a beautiful young girl about 15 years of age, who was to come into the possession of a large fortune when of legal age. A disappointed member of the family managed to get her to New York. But a young lover of the girl suspected foul play, and prevailed upon his family to furnish the means with wMch to prosecute a search for her. "She was known to have come to New York, but here all trace of her was lost We started in, and as there was plenty of means at the, back of the chase, we made a hot chase, and succeeded in finding her three days later. She was sent to a content, and in time came into possession of her property, and shortly afterward wtf& married to the yo&ng man who had instituted the search.
