to draw plying veil over bic real cognomen,
even for the scrutiny Of readers four thousand
miles distant from the scene of his-misfor-

The 6acre and its pasassgsrsafollowed the
long line Of boulevayds without accident. rr'l
they arrived 10 the crowded quarter vi Inc

entaagled in q mass Of vehicles Of every dee-

street, and brought carriages drays. omnibuses
and stone wagoDs 10 q stand.still. There was .
general outcry among the drivers. aud. in q few
moments, . fight took place between . lusty
WAGNER, in charge Of q load Of marble, and the
identical coachman of Madame b q tiscre. in

able psltrOon. A shuddsY ran through the
young girls frame. - she turned away her
