accordingly brought to the prefecture by two gendarmes and placed in a room con tiguous to the diningroom until be should be brought in along with the desert find ing iu this room one of the cooks cotton nightcaps and apron he put them on and taking a dish full of some viands or other in each hand he kicked agaiust the door which was opened by the geudarmes and tie pretended cook walked boldly into the dioiag room and in a few miuutes was clear out of the house when the exin spectorgeneral was called for he was of course absent without leave- great was the confusion of the prefect and the disap pointment of his guests and the former in the first moment of bis anger offered a re ward of ten thousand francs to any oue who would bring bim the fugitive alive or dead this however proved
