This name suited the ruffian gangs to [.erfeetion: it sounded bloodthirsty to them and they proceeded to make the most of it. They have since filled the police annals of France's capital with more diabolic outrages than any other band of criminals in the world's his tory. The true Apache is never under 15 years of age, and few are over 22 or 23. The life is not one productive of long evity, for when there is no other handy subject to carve, the Apaehes fight among themselves, mostly over women.
