This â€" examination _ revealed two wounds, both inflicted with a carpenter‘s awl, a sharp tool, and both marked about their edges with scratches on the skin In those days of 1924 Paris was crowded with refugee Rusâ€" sians, mostly claiming the title *Prince"; and papers found on the dead man soon established his identity as a Russian enâ€" gineer named Dutfoy. Jean Belin, slight, wiry and with the mobile face of a comâ€" edian, jammed on the wideâ€" brimmed hat he has always worn and got to work. At that time Belin, the fuutre eommissioner of the Paris Suâ€" rete, was equal in rank to an English detective â€" inspector in the French "Scotland Yard."

In it she agreed to a Sunday morning réndezvous on St. Lazare station with the bearded monster for a trip to Gambais. It was Belin who traced down "Bluebeard" Landru, one of his most brilliant exploits. But he did not find the last small piece of that horrible jigsaw puzzle of the ugly little man who courtâ€" ed, won, robbed and then burnâ€" ed his hapless victims in his villa at Gambais.* .

Yes, she admitted, times had been difficult. ‘"Madame Dutfoy and the children are in full mourning." "Then," continued Belin, "there is the awl. I have found the ironâ€"monger who sold it to Dutfoy the day before the crime." He 4aid no more than that, but to his chief he said: "An amusing theory," com mented the chief, tartly. he was a petty cafe gambler. But no one seemed to know anything of Dutfoy‘s private life. It was that end of it which interested the detective. He found that at that time the man had been desperately hard up.

Handsome, thickâ€"set and powâ€" erful "Labbie" is a quiet, conâ€" scientious sort of dog and gifted with the type of intelligence which makes him a good allâ€" round assistant. He will not take "No" for an answer and can be very deterâ€" mined â€" even‘ dogged. If he meets with resistance he is apt to walk in stiffâ€"legged circles round the sungect and show his teeth. He is quite capable of dealing with the toughest thug, even when the man is armed. Police chiefs say that the Labâ€" rador is an ideal recruit on the beat. He is intelligent and alert and will notice the presence of a wrongdoer more than a hundâ€" red yards away on a dark night. Nor does he hesitate to go and investigate, for although he is normally evenâ€"tempered he is quite fearless.

When George tries to hog the oats in Belle‘s bucket, Belle grabs George by the neck as shown above and removes the goose gently from the scene. When all Paris was shaken by a succession of horrible murâ€" ders in 1934, it was Belin who organized the criminal jnvesâ€" tigation which brought the Gerâ€" man mass â€" murderer, Weidâ€" mann ,to the guillotine. He was in charge of the inâ€" vestigation of the murder of King Alexander of Yugosiavia and the French Foreign Minisâ€" ter, M. Louis Barthou, in Marâ€" seilles. During a brilliant carger that took him from the status of plain constable to the highest place in the Paris Surete, Jean Belin was involved in some of the most famous cases of modâ€" ern times. As Landru committed each murder he entered it as a numâ€" ber in his carefully kept noteâ€" book. The probability that but for Landru‘s arrest by Belin she might have become yet anâ€" other name in that book did not seem to enter her head. dru. This was pretty Mlle.

Tales are told of a big dog who patiently followed the trail of a lost little girl out to the local canal, back again through the busy streets, the worried parents following as fast as they could.

The dog‘s fortitude on that occagion resulted in a quick ‘arrest and jail for the burglar. He has spent $2,000 a month on their school fees in his efâ€" forts to give each a full chance to develop as a separate perâ€" sonality. Yet recently, when Franco dislocated his elbow in a footâ€" ball match, his quin sister, Maria Cristina, a girl without nerves, suddenly felt an agonâ€" izing pain in her elbow.

The man was not allowed to get up until the constable arrived. During his training, various objects, metallic and nonâ€"metalâ€" lic, are buried in different plaâ€" ces. He is turned loose and hunts up and down until he indicates where something is buried by "sitting" beside it, and he is rarely wrong in the places where he chooses to squat. > pdlete burglar‘s kit and $3.000 worth of stolen property. One of the drawbacks‘ of "Labbie" as a police dog is the fact that he is unable to disâ€" guise his likes or dislikes of people. If he does not like a man, he shows it. If he is downright suspicious it is very obvious for he goes right over and sniffs all round him with curiosity, with an ocâ€" casional explosive snort â€" as much as to say, "Ho! So that‘s you‘ve been up to! 1 thought as much!" â€" while his hackles lift and his eyes roll an accusing glance at the man‘s face. But it is this very alertness for suspected persons that is so useful to the police. A country policeman was patrolling with his Labrador one night and as they were passing a field the dog halted and began to tug on his leash. Mystified, the officer allowed himself to be towed towards the railway nd then, when his pal showed signs of excitement, slipped the leath, Off went the dog, and very soon began to bark.
