called them, ripping. ~ the On for
twelve inches or s., or carving of III in
significant little place from the az
gressor's calf. BIrbelard had Ought
round dozen Of duels; but he hi an
other duty to his ne xspaper best fgh;-
ing, for he appeared in the corr pnal
courts to answer all charges of atJal ing
the government, and underwent he SEN
fences of imprisonment to who men,
bers of the staff were condemned. He
had come to look upon the Jail OF Ste
Felagie much as second home, aud was
never sorry to go there for few months,
for he got double pay, unlimited allow
ance of tobacco, and excellent meals sent
10 daily from the restaurant ut the ex-
pense Of his employers as long as his in
generation lasted. Madame Barbelard,
little black-haired woman with des-
potic eyes, used affectionately to remark
that she was always more pleased to see
her husband in prison than out If it, for
she knew then that he was not in mis-
chief--risking his life in mortal combat
or drinking more absinthe than was
good for him at the cafe. Prison life
was such saving, too, for she could go
every day and sit with Barbelard from
ten to six, take her meals with him, and
economize thereby the cost of marketing
and kitchen fuel. She had no opinion
of liberal governments, ascribihg their
unwillingness 10 sending journalists to
prison to st'rdid stinginess with the pub
lie purse. ~.

Barbelard had one of his periodical

mark to Us, when he had shaken hands
with Noemie and kissed the children,
was about going to Ste. Pelagie on the
morrow. "Three months for writing dis
respectfully Of the Senate" he said, in
his dry bass voice, and casting a side
long glance of anticipation at the chif.
foniere where the bottles stood.
Eyes, three whole mouthsl' exclaimed
little Madame Barbelard in glee. ~
had some hopes it might have been six,
for then he would have saved up enough
to buy that pretty villa at Suresnes, on
which I have set my heart"
"We'll make up for it by taking three
more months in the summer, if all goes
we'll, my DEAR" said Barbelard, good
naturally; ''too much off the real isn't
good; one likes to got out and breathe
the air now and then"
"Ah, that's just it; and then hatfals
of francs are spent in billiards and little
glasses with your friends!" responded
Madame Barbelard, tartly. think of
what nice things we might do if you re-
