RaIzac,s Mistake

1t is well-known fact that the late
Baron James Rothschild was on ex-
cellent terms with Balzac who dedi-
Gated to him several Of his novels. One
day when about to proceed to Germany,
and being, as was often the case, in
rather straitened circumstances, Bal
zac applied to the Baron, who, with
his habftual generosity, handed him
the sum of 1900 francs, and the same
time letter of introduction addressed
to his nephew in Vienna. The letter
unsealed as is usual in such cases. Bal
zac read it, thought its tone rather
cool, trivial and altogether inadequate
Che was always puffed up with eonceit,
poor fellow. He scorned to deliver it,
and returned to Paris with the auto
graph in his pocket. On his arrival he
waited upon the great banker
Well" said the Baron, did you see
my nephew?"
Balzac boldly confessed that he had
kept the letter.
Il am sorry for your sake" said the
Baron; have you it by you?"
Why, certainly; here it is.''
do you observe this little mark be-
low the signature? 1 gave you an open
credit on our Vienna bank to the extent
of $4,000 francs"
Balzac bit his Iip.-Almanach Vermot.
