M. MoTeauC ChTiSJophe, the inspector OF
prisons under the Second Empire. knew
the man who served as the prototype of
Jean Vatican, and whose story haunted
the brain of Nicto Hugo and inspired his
famous "Miserabes" NJ Moreau-C Christie
phe had a passion for reforming convicts.
He gathered many strange secrets. The
following story Of the convict Urbain Le-
melle is taken from his notes:
Urban Lemelle. like Jean Vatican. was
the abandoned child OF q drunken
father When he was only eight years
old he went from farm 10 farm TO o Ter
for a piece of bread the work that his
little hands could dc. He was first Ia en-
in hand by kind hearted peasant named
Brisset who kept him minding COWS for
three years. Then he was employed by
two neighboring farmers. who sent lin
10 tend sheep for three years more. Ur-
balm tired Of the life OF a shepherd. and
determined to become a sailor. when he
reached the age Of fourteen. lie began
as cabin boy in a river boat from An
gers, whose captain generally spoke to
him with the end of a rope. Three years
passed in this way, during which UT
bain's only consolation was his friend
ship for the son of the captain, young
man named Gervais. who was no less
badly treated than himself. This friend
ship was unfortunate for UTbain. One
winters day, when the waters of the
Loire were frozen and navigation sus-
pended, Geryais proposed to Urban to take
away the money that was in the safe of
the boat for the pay of the hands.
Then" he said. we will 60 Nantes
where We will become real sailors
But that is robbery you propose noe"
said Urban.
Robbery, nonsense replied Gervais.
Doesn't my father owe you so francs?
Well, you can pay yourself the so francs
out of the sack, and then you Will be
square"
No Longer on the Boat.
An hour afterward the money was no
longer on board the boat. Gervais had
taken # away. and Urban had hidden it in
the trunk of a willow tree. Next day
the imprint of his feet upon the snow led
10 the tree. where the treasure was found.
Urban was arrested. and the lock OF the
safe having been broken, he was con-
demned TO seven years penal ssryitude.
He was then only seventeen.
During his seven years Imprisonment
Urban WAS resigned, Industrious, relig-
ious, and exemplary in his conduct When
he left the pententiaTy, where he had
lost seven years. he thought he had moth
ing to do but to return to Ange-s purified
completely. 1t was at Angers that be
committed his crime, and he wanted 10
prove that he was reformed. This hope
was dissipated. The fact that he was an
ex-convict closed all doors and all hearts
10 him. He found il extremely difficult

radical reversal of form took place
in the market this morning. Prices opened
strong, and in most cases advanced in SYM
pathy with London buying, and during
the first hour or more the advance con-
tinued, with good buying in all classes of
securities. The hopeful matters that did
not make the market buoyant yesterday,
on account of the Sugar game, seem 10 have
exerted their influence today instead The
discount rates of both the Bank of England
and the Bank OF France have been cut,
and there now seems little if any chance
of further gold explorations at this time.
The feeling over the South African situa
tion is more hopeful in London. The in
ternational stocks were bought all day yes
terday, and again today. 1t is now predict
ed that the bank statement tomorrow will
be an excellent one, better than any here
tofore probably. The balance between the
banks and the sub-treasury this week is
50. .000, ,000 and more than 81 0O0.0 600 has
been received from the interior. These
sums will more than Offset the exports of
gold last Saturday.

NEW YORK, Jan 12.-The stock market
opened active and fairly firm, again fol-
lowing the leads made by London. The
latter markets strength was reported owing
both to the easing of of money there, and
to rumors OF British successes in South
Africa, although the latter were altogether
lacking in any official confirmation: Foreign
houses bought the internationally llsted
stocks upon the opening of business, the
largest buying appearing in st. Paul.
The London stock exchange settlement
was reported as having passed off without
any hitch. Sugar refining was an exception
to the general market in the initial deal
ings in a further sharp rally, but after
opening II more than recovered its early
loss Among the strongest features OF the
market were Louisville and Nashville,
Chicago. Cleveland, Cincinnati. and st.
Louis and Pacific Mail. and Metropolitan
Railway.

LemelIe Rearrested.

One Sunday while he was walking in
the suburbs with his wife. he met a police
man who was a former convict, who knew
him at BTest. This policeman destroyed
his entire happiness. He arrested him.
Urbain was brought TO Bicetre. and from
there was taken 10 Brest to finish the eight
years of penal servitude that he had still
TO serve, in addition to the supplementary
years for the crime of escaping.
1t was during the few months OF his de-
tention at Bicetre. in 1888, that Mouerau
Christophe knew Urbain and learned his
story. NJ. Moreau- Christophe obtained
for him the favor of exemption from the
first chain gang, on leaving Bicetre for
Brest: and few months later he managed
10 send him back to Paris. In other words,
he brought the case to the attention of the
King, who pardoned the man upon the
spot.
Urbain Lemelle lived 10 a great old age.
He was the best of husbands, and wished
to be the best of fathers but that Joy
was denied him. He consoled himself,
nevertheless by making pets of all the
children in the place where he lived, and
he amused them often by telling them
stories of brigands. Heaven only knows
what queer stories he must have learned
during his ten years in the Bagne.-Figaro

served His Time.

At Brest he served his time as he did
formerly at Toulon. In prison his conduct
was irreproachable. but after four years
of tortures inflicted upon him in that
dreadful place. he escaped Where was
he to go? Paris was the only place that
could hide him from the police. He went
there without encountering any difflcul-
ties and the very next day after his ar
rival he was on the Place de Greve among
the labOring men. There he was taken by
building contractor. with whom he re-
mained for three years. whose regrets fol-
lowed him to the establishment of NJ.
Masse, dry goods manufacturer, where he
received better wages For four years NJ.
Masse kept him and entrusted 10 his hands
large sums OF money, which Urbain al
ways handled with zeal and intelligence
and perfect honesty. He commenced to
prosper and married an honest working
girl. Happy in the thought that at last
he was loved and respected he lived with
her for seven wears.

10 get work and when by chance, he did
procure some arduous employment, the
other workmen refused TO associate with
him. He was condemned to id!eness. beg
gary, and theft:
One Sunday, while roaming through the
country he stopped, fatigued, TO rest him
self in field where there were some
horses at liberty. He thought OF the sea
that was only thirty leagues from him,
and of America. that new world where he
expected to live as an honest workingman.
The idea turned his head. He jumped like
a madman upon one of the horses and
started the animal along the road, without
d saddle or bride. He set out in the even
ing. and arrived al the break of day at In
grandes. Nearing that place on the edge
of the road there was a prairie. There ne
turned loose the horse and enter
ed the town. An unknown person
turning a horse loose was sus-
pected. He was followed, arrested, and
brought before the mayor He gave his
name without hesitation. but while they
were discussing the case he managed 10 es-
cape. He reached Nantes, and tried 10 ship
with some captain on a long voyage. But
TO embark il was necessary TO have papers,
and UIbain didn't have them.
For some time he wandered along the
quays. almost on the verge Of suicide, when
a big hand touched his shoulder, the hand
of a boatman of Angers, who recognized
him. The boatman wanted help. so Urbain
went with him 10 Angers. He had hardly
arrived before he was arrested and put in
prison on the complaint of stealing horse.
Now. il happened that the honest peasant
Brisset was the owner of the horse in ques-
tion. He testified before the court that his
horse came back 10 him, and that Urban
was TOO honest a fellow 10 want to steal il.
But he pleaded for him in vain. The un-
fortunate young man was convicted a sec
ond time by the assizes court of Maine-at-
Loire. and sentenced TO twelve years penal
