was excellent. Sometimes he watched
the Mobiles at their drill, what files of
them there were, His basket under
his arm, he stood with the long rows
of people that formed the shadows of
the dark winter morning at the grating
of the butcher or the baker. There,
standing with ones feet in the water,
one made acuuaintances and talked
politics, and, AS son of NJ. Stenue.
everybody asked his opinion. But even
more amusing than all were the par
ties du bouch0n. that famous play of
quloche which the Breton Mobiles had
introduced during the sege. When
little Stennc was not at the ramparts
or the bakers, you might be sure to
find him at the Place du Chateau
d'Eau, where they played gaiochc. He
didn't play. of course, tuat cost too
much money. He contented himself
with watching the PLAYERS.
One of them, "A large boy in blue
coat, who never stakcd less than 100
sous excited his admiration. When he
ran one could hear the coin cIinking
in the pockets of his coat.
One day in picking up piece which
had rolled almost under the feet of
little Stenne. the large boy said to him
in low voice:
That makes YOU squint, eh! Well.
il YOU want, III ia ke YOU where YOU
can find 'em."
The playipg finished. he took him
into a corner, and proposcd that he
sbould 90 with him to sell newspapers
to the Russians; there were 80 francs

fused very Indignantly. He waited
three days without going to see the
PLAYERS. Three terrible days! He
neither ate or slept. At night he saw
set of ga'oche placed at the foot of
his bed, and pieces of 100 sous each
Law glttering all around him. The
fourth day he returned to the Chateau
Eau, saw the large boy and Welded.
They set out one morning with sacks
over their shoulders and the papers
hidden under their blouses. When
they reached the Porte de Flan-
dres day was Just breaking. The large
boy took Stenne by the hand, and ap-
preaching the sentinel,-a good old
fellow, with "a red nose and a kindly
air,-he said to him in supplicatory
voice: "Let us pass, bon monsieur
Our mother is sick and father is dead.
We are ooino, INV little brother and l.
