AN EXPENSIVE UMBRELLA.
The Wit Found Out That His Little
Scheme Proved Expensive,

The Wit Found Out That His Little
Scheme Proved Expensive.
Romieu, the famous Partisan wit,
was one day caught in a shower, and
forced to seek refuge in doorway OF
the Opera House. It was six O'Clock
already, and he had an engagement at
the Cafe de Paris for that very hour.
The rain fell in torrents. There was
no carriage to be had. He had no
umbrella. What was to be done.
While he was lamenting his bad luck,
a gentlemen with large umbrella
passed by. Romieu was seized with a
sudden inspiration. He rushed out
and grasped the stranger by the arm,
and gravely installed himself under the
protecting umbrella.
Il am oyerioyed to see you," he I'M
mediately began. 81 have been look
ing for you for two weeks. I wanted
to tell you about Clementine.
Without giving the stranger time to
express his surprise, Romieu ratified
away with gossip and anecdote until
he had led the unknown companion
to the door of the Cafe de Paris. Then
he glanced at him with a face OF we'll
feigned astonishment.
Pardon, monsieur he cried; lit
seems / am mistaken. y
q believe so,'' said the stranger.
Good gracious!" added Romieu.
BE discreet; don t repeat what + have
told YOU
81 promise you. 2
"A thousand pard onsl'
Romieu hastened within the cafe,
and, amid great laughter, told the adj
venture to his friends. Suddenly one
OF them said
Your cravat is rumpled. !"
Romieu put his hand to his neck and
turned pale. His pin valuable
sapphire gone. On further ex-
animation his purse and watch were
found to be gone. The man with the.
umbrella was a pickpocket.
