RESTIT UJTION
The parliamentary session had adj
journed, the Hon. M. Grand adet, dep
uty for the Deux- Garonnes, took the ex-.
press free, thanks to his annual pass
and hied himself to feel the pulse Of
public opinion in his native town.
Comfortably installed in a corner Of
the carriage M. Grandcadet unfolded a
voluminous evening newspaper, very
erudite and ministerial, and edited in a
prose as heavy and depressing as virtue,
the Typography of which had a grave
and puritanical air about it. The Pana-
ma scandal -insi gnifi cant !; as every one.
knows, and exaggerated H.Jh so much
maleyolence by the enemies Of the re-.
public insultingl RELOCATED to tho
third page and reported and printed IN
such small type as to be almost illegi-
BILE. By contrast the columns sof this
austere organ were filled with foreign
politics, articles Of palpitating interest,
which commenced in the following
terms: MATTERS are very serious in
Venezuela, = or else, Are the days Of
the Tricoupis ministry counted?'
To make a good impression on the
white mustached colonel, who sat oppo-
site to him TRANQUILITY reading La Co
carde, M. Grandcadet did not lift his
eyes from the official sheet and appeared
to be deeply interested in the Hellenic
crisis and in the last dispatches from
Caracas. But in reality M. Grandcadet
was very much upset by the last turn
affairs had taken, and a deep feeling Of
anxiety possessed him.
His name had not been mentioned
yet. Good, so far. He had written
nothing, signed nothing. Wonderful
thoughtfulness on his part. But who
could answer for what might happen
later? Some Of these fine mornings a
compromising paper might come to
light. For, between ourselves, he had
handled his little Doodle in an honest,
honorable way among comrades, and he
had not thought much about the. mat
ter. Come, I will allow my readers to
pass judgment upon him. He was neu-
trail at the last appeal for funds. "a
man Of consideration, rich banker,
whom he met very often in his political
circle, and with whom he was on very
good terms--in fact, almost friend
opened his eyes, gave him to under
tand how opportune shall I say pa
triotic?-it was to vote favorably to the
emission. This man, who knew how to
live, who was perfect gentleman, pro-
posed to HMM most delicate terms
to associate himself with the financial
operations in perspective aturally
enough, when there was question Of
this great scheme-and promised him
some recompense in advance-to calm
his scruples-----a percentage, mon Dieu,
check for %, 900 francs. Do not gainsay
me; you would all have done the same
as M. Grandcadet did And I know
What you are going to say to me, .The
subscribers, what about them?'', Listen
to reason In case Of success they would
have said nothing, for they would have
made very advantageous investment.
They We're merely gamblers. Would
you know my way of thinking? Well,
the subscribers were Of no earthly ac-
count. Could Grandcadet divine that
this famous canal would never be cut
through? But several times before he
had realized some benefits from affairs
OF the same kind, which had been more
or less successful, and nobody had found
fault with him.
Well, frankly, with his hand on his
heart, he reproached himself for nothing.
And must confess it he did not believe
IN this burst Of public indignation That
was all humbug. twas easy to recog-
nize back Of all this Indignation plot
OF the old parties; the hands Of the
Comte de Paris and the Boulangists.
The president du conseil had said as
much to them. Happily he had been

life, It you please. To see him you
Il Would not have thought him capable Of
SO much determine and character,
Z With It his well trimmed Whiskers and his
air OF country notary But when he
\ was IN danger of being burned that was
another thing Yes, If it was necessary
he would allow himself to be killed On
@a barr and like the heroic Baudin
he would cry out, Come and see how,
one dies for 25, 900 francs. ~ &
