As of May 2019, the 1914 collection is the earliest publication known at The FictionMags Index.
Synopsis:
An Englishman visiting Paris is caught in the slums at night and must escape a gang of slumdwellers who intend to rob and kill him.
This features the section of Paris known for ragpickers and dustpiles.
