Comradc Of pleasure of the Prince jerome

Sire" replied Lcbrun, "but your ma

NO compliments my dear; no batteries
before my installation later they may be-
set me. For the moment, let us 60 and
have good repast, and celebrate my luck,
glass in hand
Jerome took each by the ann, and they
went to the establishment of Mahant, Il IA
nous restaurant Of the times. The Amphi-
tyron served royal supper. The cham
payne toamcd the spirits were cXhlaratcd,
the hearts happy. jerome said that he
wis bed never 10 be separated from his dear
friends. I'VE shall give in these modern
times, cried he, 1.-THE example Of an an
tiquc friendship. So that nothing may dis
unite Us, will bring you TO my Court.
Then said he to c., thou shalt he my
secretary; thee Pigault. as thou lowest
books, name my bibliothecaire.'
SO the champagne succeeded the punch
and it was two O'Clock in the morning
when the bell rung and the note was asked.
1t was over two hundred francs jerome
not having torcsccn the circumstances, had
not provided himself, and the two friends
were far from having the necessary funds.
Great embarrassment. Mchant was sum-
moned; they made known 10 him the gray
ity OF the situation. 4 light flashed upon
linn, he knit his brow, hut not knowing his
distinguished patrons, he said. "Messicurs,
at least be 50 ohligng as 10 make known
your names and POSITIONS
Il, replied, at first, W. de c.. Il am
the secretary Of his majesty the king Of
Wcstphalia'
"Oh. That is very well" replied the pro-
prictor; then addressing himself to Piquait:
And you, monsicar,'
Il, ! am biblothecairc of the king of
WcStphalia."
Then, said Mchant, who began TO he
my>tiiied, "'hi. great BOBBY ought to be the
kim Of Wcstphalia in person"
Precisely, rascal, but shall teach thee
how To speak TO the great BOBBY" and he
raised his arm a. if to chastsc Iii, nsolence.
All that is too much" cried Mchau,,
rushing toward the stranger. Mock me if
II l. your pleasure; We shall see if you mock
the police"
Wait wait cried jerome, running after
him, here is my watch, which is worth ten
times the sum; | leave it as security-to-
morrow your note will he paid" And he
handed the man splendid watch, which
Josephine had given him, and upon which
the numbers Of the empress were designed
in brilliantS.
With such pledge the proprietor allow
ed the imprudent friends TO depart. and
they made heir escape with due speed
Hardly were they outside when Mchant
suspicioned that the watch had been stolen.
Early in the morning he sought the com.
mis-lire of the quarter; the agent, who re-
cognizcd the imperial mark hastened to the
project, the project of the minister To the
interior Of Napoleon who was at Saint
Cloud. The Emperor found the license Il
little too strong for 4 crowned head

jerome the order to take himself immedi-
ately 10 Wesphalia, and to bring with linn
no dignitary named 10y anticipation.
