Ail the forces for the protection of society had failed to dislodge them. Poliee came from Paris, four miles away. Several thousaps! police, gend: armes and Zouaves tried for hours to shoot the bandits or blew the huild- ing with explosives, Three policemen had fallen from their bullets, hut though the villa was badly damaged by dynamite, the bun dits miraculously held. thei shawed no signs of surrendering Unlike namited un and lonnot, whose refuge was dy at Choisy-Le-Roi, Larnier made his last stand in a house hidden by surrounded closely by other buildings," rendering an assault difficult and dangeroux.

The Parisian, struck by the picture, stopped her and exclaimed : "How beautiful you are, madam. You should pose for a portrait." Verillemin smilingly acknowledged the compliment and passed on. Then the Parisian, with a woman's penetration, decided that her hair was dyed. The comments and inquiries of the Parisian put the police on the track. M. le pine, prefect of Paris, was notified and decided to capture or kill the ban- dits if necessary. Again, as jn the dase of the battle at Choisy-Le-Roi, the efforis of the police and military were greatly ham- pered by the vast crowds of specta- tors that gathered in the adjoining streets, Attempts were made to blow up the building by throwing dy- namite cartridges from the adjacent viaduct, and a perfect hail of bules wus thrown into the house where the bandits were concealed. Finally, the fulng ceased for a time, Al sorts of wild ramors were afloat, among them that Garnier had sucoecd- ed in escaping. That the authorities placed in credence in this was shown by the fast that they telephoned for melinite, and after the arrival of n foliage and mn a Bonnot, the remarkable of automobiles, for at : { searchlight, a quantity of the high lexplosive was placed against the low- ter wall of the villa.
