over that meal, tho last that we were to

Rue Dauphine. We proposed toasts alter

the Odeon, to the health of Levi Jacob, to the
health of all cur creditors, to that of Magny's

1t was by this time past five in the afternoon,
yet there was still a crowd at the door of the

stretching along the Pont de rArcheveque,

The murder of Meissner seemed indeed TO
have caused an unusual sensation; all these

driven with me. Passing Magny's on the

to be sent to Rue Dauphine, No. 49, in
quarter Of an hour.
"What success!' cried Raoul, as l entered
the room. He was still in bed, but looked
