kr- How the Government Manage* to Secure
Information Privately.
After all that has been said about the
vileness of the police system under the
empire, which rendered it almost impos-
sible for any one to be safe from espion-

It
age, even in private life, it might well
be supposed that the republic had done
away with this machinery for discover-
ing and weaving plots so much more
suited to the age of Louis XI than to the
nineteenth century. It remains, how-
ever, very much what it was 80 years
ago. These things do not change in
France.
Governments go. and the forms of gov-
ernment, and these are succeeded by oth-
ers, bu£ the good old abuses—they must
be thought good by some people—cling
to the ship with barnaclelike tenacity.
French official organization is about the
most steadfast tiling in the world, al-
though all French people to whom you
may speak on the subject agree that it
is very bad. It is almost as difficult now
as it was under the empire to be certain
that a man whom you may meet, either
m society or out of it, does not belong to
the secret police.
All over the country there are mou-
chards—a term expressing something
stronger than spies. I have been incon-
venienced by them myself in the prov-
inces. On one occasion I made a father
long stay in a little place where there
were two hotels in fierce rivalry. One
day a brigadier of gendarmes came over
from a neighboring town on purpose to
make inquiries respecting me.
He did not trouble me, but he ques-
tioned various people as to how I passec.
my time, about how much I spent a day,
what sort of meals I had, and whether I
appeared to have more money than T
knew what to do with. The fact was
was suspected of being a spy in the pay
of a foreign, government. As I consider
a bold front to be the best whenever
there is anything of this kind in the air,
I got myself driven over the gendarmery,
which was about eight miles off, and
there had it out with the brave briga-
dier.
I soon discovered that an informer had
bean at work ^nd that the informer was
no other than the keeper of the rival
hotel, who for years had been receiving
pay as a member of the secret police.
Situated where he was he must have
been absolutely useless in that capacity,
but at one time he must have done a
service to somebody.
It is especially in Paris, however, that
that the secret police is supposed to be in-
dispensable. Every government wishes
to be kept well informed as to all that
goes on in an enemy’s camp. Such in-
formation can only be obtained from
those who aro willing to play the part of
a traitor or whose position enables them
to observe what is going forward with-
out exciting suspicion. They are tech-
nically termed “indicators-’ and may be-
long to either sex. When the Boulan-
gist movement was convulsing France,
the government had a great advantage
over its opponents by handling of the se-
cret fund and the secret police.
Boulanger’s footsteps were dogged ev
erywhere, and somehow M. Censtana
learned all that he wished to know con-
cerning the plans and doings of the con-
spirator*1. An important point in this
system is to make the “indicator” feel
sure that whatever happens he will not
is usually enough for any woman; also
for any man when the boot is on the
other foot, for of such is the kingdom
of Cupid.
His condition had at last become un-
bearable to him, and he resolved to win
all or lose all. It was late one evening
when the fateful moment came.
“Will you marry me?” he asked her
n pain, untrimmed English, for he could
trust himself to nothing in the oma-
