Waterbury evening Democrat., 1890-10-28

thelf 1OurnoylnR Lnerc n2u been . FS- | serve between the two almost &tuuunt- l ing to coldness Still Eugene dil not trouble his befuddled head much to | divine the cause; he noted Emericls's { cordiaIity and willingly acce .:taa it for | what 1t was worth. Any one who had seen Eugene in tho New York grocery | store u fe v weeks ago would not have recognized him again under present con- ditioas. He hadrigged himself up pre- | cisely after the fashion of his new found associates and was now a correct type of the Parisian dude. He also fell into their ways with alarming alacrity and could already consume as much wine and smoke as many cigars as any in the crowd. He was not only like | in study. It is one of the remarkable things about Parisian students that no matter how late they remain out at night or to what extent their midnight orgies may be carried they are always present at the lecture and generally pass successfully through their course of study.
 Mir. Emerick did not confide the se- cret of his wife's recognizance to Eu- gene at once. He proposed to wait until
 
 ing. His nightly sprees were becoming expensive, and he was running through a great deal of money. In fact, Eugene was fast approaching financial dilem- ma. and had already written to his mother to send him on further supply. Of course his mother sent it at once, but still she wondered why he needed it. If he made such drafts as that on his alnn6nr atnOE nf lnff frnTfo tho sale of the store he would soon be en- tirely dependent upon his mother, and, notwithstanding that she was ready and willing to find him all he wanted, she could not help speculating as to why it was he spent so much.
 The Sunday after Mir. Emerick joined Eugene in Paris, they both went out to the races and on their way home Eugene told MT. Emerick he had bet his last napoleon and lost it. He need not have told this. however. for MT. Emerick had watched him carefully and know as much. Yot he did not betray his previous knowledge when Eugene told his tale. They were roll ing along tho Champs Elysces when tho conversation took place, and, as they turned off toward the street where they were going to take dinner, MT. Emerick was about to tell Eugene that he would assist him to any extent when that young man interrupted him with an ex- pression of joy. Eugene hailed tho driver to stop and before NIT. Emerick knew what had happened decidedly fast-looking Parisian belle was being handed to the carriage. Simple as tho occurrence might seem to any one acquainted with life in the French metropolis it meant great deal with Mr. Emerick and convinced him that he would be able to carry out the scheme he had in mind with the greatest of case, so far as finding a dnpe was con- cerned.
 To have seon the manner in when the father and son spent the afternoon and evening ono would hardly have imagined that they were the same pair who knecled so devoutly at the service in the Madolaine in the morning. Still, they only did as thousands of others did whose religion was a weekly affair, occ lpying about two hours each Sunday.
 They had kneelcd and sat sido hy side in that beautiful and solemn editice in the morning, and at midnight they jinglod glasses together in a third-rate dance-hall, called the Tivoli, situated on a sido street near the Place du Chateau D'Eau. They had for a few moments drawn away from the crowd inside, and were sitting in the shade of some trees at . little tablo outside the main hall. Each was excited with wine and the older had become communica- tive.
 Eugene" he said. You are having a pretty lively time of it over hero. Rather moro lively than weighing ten, anyhow"
 Well. I should say am, was the re- sponse. in a maudlin voice.
 And what do suppose this fun is ge- ing to cost you?" asked Mir. Emerick.
 My head is in no condition for ig- ures and I couldn't tell you," replied Eugene.
 'It seems to me that if you move along at this rate much more it will re-
