His thoughts went back to the past.

And yet it had been a mistake, their

There had been tears and quarrels

Foreigners always ridicule British
and American tourists for their desire
to carry off a portable souvenir of ev-
cry place or incident that comes under
cognizance. Our compatriots are said
to have been especially busy at the
scene of the late catastrophe in Paris
and the incorruptible policemen are
said to have been tempted BY prepos-
terously large offers for fragments OF
jewelry and other charred relics. When
a mason was ordered to repair the win
dow in the Hotel du Paris through
which the luckier fugitives made their
escape, he reported that he must sup
ply new iron bars. the old ones having
been exported to England at a fabulous
price. On inquiry it turns out that but
