FIRST appearance as serial in LIllustra-
tion. Paris. Conversing about the story
with Robert Sherard only a few days
before. Daudet remarked: mot a soul
knows of It's existence" Mr.. Sherard
gives the following interesting account
OF the genesis of the story:
In lSa there lived In the Marais quar-
ter an excellent lady. OF charitable dispo-
sition. who had as one OF her tenants
worthy dealer in bronzes. whose affairs
were In q very bad way-so bad. indeed.
that he could not pay any rent. The
landlAdy here with him because she knew
that he was a man Of excellent intentions
and because she had a real attachment
for his wife and children. When she died.
In the same year--lSS4-the house went
by viii to her nephew. who was one OF
the under secretaries OF state This
under secretary OF state was pre-emi-
nently business man, and wished TO
hear nothing about worthy tenants who
had excellent intentions but DID not pay
their rent. SO the dealer in bronzes re-
ce!ved peremptory notice 10 quilt. He
quilted In the most effective fashion that
he could devise. that is to say, he went
and drowned himself In the nelghboring
Canal Saint Martin. He, too, left a will,
by which he bequeathed his two chi.dre.
TO q friend OF his. a novelist. who lived
In the same Marais quarte-. and who's
name was Alphonse Daudet. On receipt
Of his friends letter Daude. rushed off
TO his house. found that the wretched
man had carried out his intention of COM
hitting suicide. took the two orphans by
the hand and hurried to the house of the
under secretary of state. n. Felix Faure
NJ. Faure was dining peacefully when
the fiery Meridional arrived and was ter
ribiy distressed at the news OF what
mis- late tenant had done and at
the way In which II was impaired. There
WAS a scene In thu full acceptance of the
word. NJ. Faure promised that every
thing that was In his power shoult. be
done for the unfortunate children. and
very Loyalty kept Ills word. for they were
educated At his cost. And Aiphonse Dau-
det also kept his word, the word which
