"AU 'VOIR, M'SIEU' JEAN JACQUES".
It is seldom that Justice travels as swiftly as Crime, and it is also seldom that the luck is more with the law than with the criminal.

It took the parish of St.Saviour's so long to make up its mind who stole Jean Jacques' six thousand dollars, that when the hounds got the scent at last the quarry had reached the water--in other words, Sebastian Dolores had achieved the St.Lawrence.The criminal had had near a day's start before a telegram was sent to the police at Montreal, Quebec, and other places to look out for the picaroon who had left his mark on the parish of St.Saviour's.

The telegram would not even then have been sent had it not been for M.Fille, who, suspecting Sebastian Dolores, still refrained from instant action.

This he did because he thought Jean Jacques would not wish his beloved Zoe's grandfather sent to prison.
