A NIGHT IN PARIS.

81 beg ofiyou, Monsieur L Able" sale
the gentleman, as the coupe drew up, "l
beg of you to let me take Vol home. Il
would hardly be prudPt for YOU to 60
home afoOt and alone at so late an hour
with the proceeds of our little benevolent
festival about you"
"Thank you, my dear sir" responded
the priest, "but the money is for the poor
and who would think of stealing it!
Besides, if ! am attacked am amply
capable ofdefendng myself"
The vehicle rolled away and the priest
turned down the Rue de Grenelle-St.
German without noticing that he was
followed by Il man whose appearance was
by no means prepOssessing.
1t was towards the close of December,
1878. Times were hard-very hard, and
if here and there brilliantly illuminated
mansion indicated that balls and banqucts
were given by the rich, further on in the
quarters where the poor swarmed were
cold, darkness and hunger. Indeed the
scene at that place and instant offered a
strange and sadly significant contrast.
