to the. restaurant WhereSI had ar

in question is neither an expensive
nor a fashionable one. 1t has nc
halls of mirrors, no dainty little
cabinet is, but to, my thinking, you
can obtain the best dinner in. all
Paris there. On reaching it found
my guest had been the first to arrive.

Among other thingsehe was a sdecid-

as well as any of his compa triots.
Could you but see him with his nap
kin. tucked under his chin. his little
twinl1ling eyes sparkling with mirth,
and his face wreathed in smiles, you
would declare him to be one Of the
jolliestclooking individuals you have
ever encountered. See him, however,
when he is on business and has a
knotty problem to solve, and you
will find different man. The mouth
has become one of iron, the eyes are
as fierce as fierce can be. Some one,
