<BOHEMIANS OF PARIS>: (1) THE SELLER OF SECURITY [WATCH] CHAINS: The security [watch] chain is so called because it is a secure means of knowing that the ninny who buys it owns a watch. Accomplices stationed in the vicinity are not slow to turn this sign to a profit. Bertrand sold the chain, Macaire deals with the watch.
