He left one colonial capital in secret, a commercial man, he entered another in public, to all appearance a Roman Catholic priest, and went to one of the best hotels. He could not, however, play his part, and foolishly ordered the morning after his arrival a hot meat breakfast, such as he had always been accustomed to. It completely slipped his memory that Roman Catholic priests don't eat meat on Fridays, but there were those in the hotel who remembered it, and subsequent investigation led to t...he sham priest's arrest. 78 THE AUSTRALIAN AT HOME. The ways of embezzlers are sometimes strange. There was one, an accountant, who found it impossible to conceal his crime any longer. He was on the eve of detection. What did he do ? blow his brains out ? Nothing of the kind. He went and married a young unsuspecting girl, and made a piteous appeal on his trial, three weeks afterwards, on behalf of his wife, who would be left destitute. This man deserves to be coupled with the young French ruffian, who murdered his father and mother, and then besought the jury to have mercy on a poor lone orphan.
