Az Incident which illustrates the
French Character.

Speaking of French politics, heard
most extraordinary story of another
strange secret Of contemporary life.
Some years ago one might see in res
taurant at night, playing dominos
quietly or conversing in tranquil tones,
gentleman named Levy. He was a
man who knew more of the secret his
tory Of tho courts of Europe than any
man of his time. To get full account
OF his personality and Exasstory you must
spend an evening with Joe Lyons, the
owner of the Trocadero and a score of
other restaurants, one of the most brill
liant raconteurs as we'll rs one of the
best fellows in all London. Mr., Levy
was private detective. employed when
ever task of extreme delicacy and
enormous Importance was Oh hand He
was retained by the Bank of England,
among other institutions, and l have
heard that his services We're esteemed
so valuable that he got the magnificent
salary of go, coo year from that in
stitution.
Well, just after the downfall OF the
commune Mr. LeRyswas intrusted with
one of the most delicate and, 1 might
say, terrible missions in his life. There
were several communist refugees in
London. Levyitracked them out 4
man of the world, without enthusiasms,
acquainted with all the seamy side of
life and of man, he yet had broad,
sympathetic imagination, and he was
astounded by the picture he found in
the miserable den-if l remember right
ly it was a stable-in which he discov-
cred the objects of his search. These
men, who but a few weeks before had
the government and the revenues of the
great city of Paris at their command,
were engaged i'll making a wretched
bowl of soup, which was to be the one
meal-and the one meal of them all
for "a hours. Not one penny had stuck
to their palms of all the millions that
were at their mercyi "These men may
be madmen,'' he said to a friend to
whom he told the story, "but, accord
ing to their lights, they are patriots r'
His wonder grew as they refused
scornfully to surrender some papers
which had fallen into their possession,
in spite of dazzling offers of gold,
which, as agent of the French govern
ment, he was authorized to offer them.
They knew the horror and the terrible
and appalling Importance Of the domes
tic secret in the life of great man of
which they held proofs, but they decid-
ed to keep the proofs until they thought
it right or wrong to publish the story
to the world. And, though they refused
the gold, they never told the secret, and
France and Europe were saved one of
the most cruel and devastating scandals
of our times. New York Herald.

An Experiment which Led to the

/ don't know why the simple fact of
being in love should deprive people of
the vestige of common sense with which
nature, never overgenerous with that
rarest of blessings, has endowed them,
but all my observation tends to confirm
me in the opinion that it does. For ex-
ample, a man / know is engaged to a
Georgetown girl-that is, he was en-
gagged to her up to a quarter to 10
o'clock Thursday night, week before
last. He went ont to call on her, and
but first must tell you that she belongs
to a Georgia family, and he is from
Boston, and both of then are exceeding
ly proud of their birthplace and ances-
try After few preliminaries, said she
to him:
"Oh, let's hear how fast yon can say,
She sells seashells. -
So, of course, he said, Use shells sea-
sells" and "She shells sheshells'' and
''She sells shesells,' and goodness only
knows what, till his tongue was so tan
gled up that his mouth was full of
knots. And she began to laugh, and he
told her to say it herself. Then they
both went at it, and midway of their
sibilant mouthings somebody's temper
began to get frayed at the edges. She
said that Boston people speak abomina-
bly, anyway, and he retorted tn quoque
about the Georgia dialect. From dis
cussion of speech they came to discus
sion of manners. and things were said
which it were painful to repeat. The
engagement was broken, as 1 said, at
GAS O'Clock. 1t has staid broken ever
since. The rupture bids fair to be per-
manent. And all this misery because
we'll, because two ordinarily intelligent
persons happened to be made temporari-
