AN INTERVIEW.
How a Great Frenchman Was
Beaten by a Girl Reporter.
I am a lady journalist, and enpaped
on the staff of the Weekly Kay.
I never was a piiddinp-aud-pie sort of
pirl; an.l I think when I started pomp
to town, and left the household duties
to my sister, my people actually felt a
sense of relief.
For some time I wrote at random.
Kcnd'nip in contributions to all sorts of
papers, some of which reached their
mark. The majority, however, like
carrier pip.-ons or the Australian Isxiiu
eranp. faithfully returned to me.
At last I attracted the attention of
the editor of the Weekly Kay, or at
least my work did; and after a few
more successes he offered lue a jmst on
his pa j N-r.
"A lad v interviewer, you know. Miss
Neville." said he to me, "can frequent
ly attain her object where a man would
fail, and I shall lie plad to see what
success you may have at the business."
Time went on, and Iliad "fixed" hun
dreds of notables, when one day. enter
:np the editor's rin un to submit some
copy to him. I perceived by the way he
pivoted me that he had some Seeial
commission in store.
"( J.mhI morninp. Miss Neville. The
very person I wanted to bee. Take a
seat."
I sat down, while the editor pushed
his pajH-rs aside, laid down his plassos
and e. uiniieneed.
You have no doubt heard that the
famous Frciichmaii. M. Jean t'oussot.
has arrived in London for a stay of a
few days, and has taken up his quar
ters at tin- Hotel liristol?"
"What, the 'unapproachable' in Lm
iloii!" said I. "No. 1 am ashamed to say
that I had not heard of it."
"Well, it is nevertheless a fact," con
tinued my chief, a.l.linp with a smile:
'"And very aptly you have christened
him. for not only has In- never Invii in
terviewed, hut has declared his decision
that h- never will lie. Now, althouph
t'otissot has never done anythiiip so
very remarkable, lK-yond writinp sonu
cpiprammatie plays and jinplinr
versos, and (xisinp with preat sucei ss
as an art critic, a wit, cynic, and leader
of fashion, yet ho has 'a vopue,' an.l
whatever opinions and impressions fall
from his lips people will prcedily dc
v uir."
"Therefore," said I, anticipating his
coininp remark, "what you suppest is
that should endeavor to obtain the
same?"
"That's it," said tlie editor. 'There
by, if you succeed, rcii.lorinp your
pajs-r a preat service and coveriiip your
self with plory."
Next iiiorninp I ha.l seiit all the
previous day ami nipht thinkinp almut
my task- 1 presented myself at the
Hotel liristol.
"Is M. Jean I'oiissot within?"
"Yes. miss," said the hall porter,
much to my d.-lipht. "What name?"
I handed him one of my cards, which
he iu turn passed to a Inly iu buttons,
w ho disappeared upstairs with it.
A minute later ho returned. "Kindly
step this way. miss!" Was the preat
man really poinp to see me? It would
In- soiiiethinp even to receive a refusal
direct from his own lips.
I'p and up we went, till, on the third
or fourth laiulinp. a man servant, hol.l
inp 1113' card in his linpcrs, confronted
me.
"Monsieur has so many callers," he
e vplaiiied. with a !hw. eyinp me curi
ously all tin- time. "What uiipht le
11 iad a 11 ic's business?"
Perfectly well aware that I mipht as
well lieat a retreat at onee as hojif fot
sin ssif 1 answered hlsquestion. "My
bu.sines.s is with monsieur." I said,
calmly. "Kindly hand him mv card,
and he will see me."
Still hesitatinp. but evidently im
pressed by the assurance with which 1
sHikc. the man turned and tapjied at
an adjacent d.mr.
"Enter!" responded a voice from
within. The man loft the d.Hir ajar
In-hiiid him. Silently I stepped up to
it and pccel throuph the crack. In inp
re wan led for my temerity by tin- sipht
of a rather stout lipure of me. hum
iicipht. clad in a l.mp frock coat, with
a but let -shaped head, hair cropped
tipht. a well-formed nose, and a straipht
mustache of enormous projMirtions.
"Moos Marpareet Nevcel!" I heard
him say. "No! I do not think I know
the lady." Then he added, turiiiiip to
tin- scrvaut: "ls mademoiselle younp
or old?"
"Younp. sir," said the man: an.l in my
anxiety I had almost called throuph
the oiH'iiinp of the door "and pretty."
"I lid you ask her licczneoz?"
"Ycssir. She said it was direct with
you."
"Yell, I vill see her in one moment,"
came the welcome words; but. as 1
stepH-il Lack from the il.nir, they were
followed by: '"Iiut shust make sure her
ls-encez has nosinp to do with ze
11 nospa pairs."
A proau almost escaped me. It was
no use prevarieatinp when, in a mo
ment's time, I should lie in the preat
man's presence. I told the servant
candidly that 1 did indeed come from
tin- editor of the Weekly Kay, a paHT
that had always expressed its prcatest
admiration of M- I'oussot and all his
works, to Lid him welcome to our
sin ires.
s Th ? man's face relaxed as I said this.
He returned to the r.Miin, and a second
after I heard M. Coussot's voice from
within:
"Ha! ha! Ila! ha! Ver' poot! ver' pmt
indeed! Tell Mees Neveel I feel ze
honor preatly, but" anil here he
raised his tones 'M. t'oussot is nevair
interviewed."
"So much for the plory I was to lie
covered with," said I, as, hurrying
from the soeneof my defeat, I turned
into Kepeut street.
Next morninp, still feelinp a Lit
ashamed of myself, I went into the
city to keep an apmiiitment that the
editor had made for me.
That over, I was coininp down
Throadneedle street, intendinpto walk
back to the ot'iee, when, passing- the
entrance to the liank of Eug'land, 1
saw a sipht that made my ucu. go
thump!
Three penial - lookinp pentlemeu,
ls.-kcd arm inarm, were emerpinp from
under the famous jmrtals, and in the
central tipure I recopnized M. Jean
Coussot himself.
I'allinp lutek a pace, I "shadowed"
them. They pot to the corner and
stopjKvl at the edpe of the pavement,
talkinp, lauphinp, pesticiilatiup wildly.
Suddenly they slnmk hands violently,
and. with much rais'mp ,,f hats and
vociferous iuterchanpe of phh1 wishes,
left him. Ile crossed over to the Man
sion house. I followed. Why I did so.
3 ?ati hardly say, except that 1 stil!
felt a linperiup hope that fate would
yet liefrieiid me.
Arrived 011 the opposite pavement.
M. t'oussot stopped and Lmk up his
station on the curb, critically eyinp
the various road cars and omnibuses as
they came up.
A Hammersmith car drew up. an.l.
with unsuspected apility, he jumped
on to the steps and nimbly climU-d up
stairs. I followed, and t.mk a seat lx-hin.1
him.
As we neared the top of Cheapside.
I thoiipht it time to counueuee HH-ra-tions.
Excuse me." said I. in my softest
possible tones, "I am not sure if 1
am on the ripht car. In-s this one
po to Hyde Park corner, can vou tell
me?"
As he heard my voice M. Coussot
jerked round on his seat, and. as he
looked at me, politely raised hi hat.
"Ah. mees! I am a stranpair in lon
don," he said. "1 vill inquire of the
drivair."
And liendinp over the rail, To you
pass ze Hyde Park eornair?" he asked:
and then turned to me apaiu with:
"Yes, zis car pass ze eornair.
"Thank you. so much." sai.". I, sweet
ly, tremblinp inwardly lest this should
prove to be the conclusion of our con
versation. Put the pallant Frenchman showed
no intention of apain turiiiiip his back
towards me. On the contrary. In
wheeled still further round, and. keej
inp his eyes fixed upon my face, said:
"Zere are so many 'buses and thinps
in vour London that it ese ver' con
con ilex in p. coiiftisinp."
"Very confusinp," I apreed. "Have
you never lieeii in Iondou In-fore?"
Ne-valr." said he. "I vant mouch
to come, but somehow never do till
this."
'And are you disappointed or pleased
with London now you have seen it?"'
Ventured, feelinp that this question
marked an exK-h. in my life.
"Veil," said he slowly, and I hunp on
his very words, "I am Imth disappoint
and pleased. It is a praml city, but it
makes one's head ache, there is so
mouch lieezneez. (How I reineiiilN-re.l
that word!) And I do not find it pret

"neutral tint,' as you say."
He seemed to enjoy chattinp like
this, and, just as the shops and side
turuiups flitted by us. so we went
liphtly from one subject to the other,
until 1 knew the cans. was won. and
that, if 1 could only romcmlier all ho
had said. 1 had eiiouph material to till
a whole pape of the Kay.
At Hyde Park corner I prepared to
alipht. havinp, just in order to prevent
wouudiiip his fee Imps, assured him
that I tie ic veal Apsla-y house, which
had attracted his attention, to be t In
habitation of the I iuar.Ps club.
"Ah! You pet ilown here! 1 ropra-t!
Will mademoiselle exchanpe cards in
memory of our deeliphtful c.uiversa
tionp?" "Oh! Pray excuse me!" said I. I
have lieeii tin iudisera'et already."
"No! No!" he prota'sted. "I liava' en
joy ver' mouch. Itut ma.li'iiioisclle
may have curiosity as to v ho she has
been talkinp." And then in much tlu
same tones as the in tcllipcnce mipht
lie aiinoum-eal, "I am the lo-rman em
peror!" the versatile tiaul, apain rai
inp his hat, said: "1 aiu Jean t'ous
sot!" .
"IZtlUy.", I pasped. in afloetcd sur
prise, and without another word ale-s--nded
tlie steps.
A sa-aoii.l after I jumped oil toanother

Into an aerateil bread shop I rushed

"Anythiiip to eat?"
"Yes. pla-ase."' 1 answered, writing
on. oLliviotis of the pirl's proximity.
"W hat?" she persisted.
"What what?" said I. l.mk'mp up.
anpry at the continued interruption.
When I had jotted down all that I
could remeliJilier, I t.mk a hansom to the
offices of the Kay. shut myself up in an
empty ranim, and never stopjied till my
interview was written, revised, and re
read. "KniH'k out those two columns of
Parliamentary Gossip," directed my
editor when he had just cast an eye
over my copy, "and the contents lull
must be altered to 'Jean Coussot's
Views of London." Well iloiia. Miss
Neville! I'll have a chat with you
later."
As may lie rememliered, the publica
tion of that interview caused a preat
sensation in tlie journalistic world.
Itut the most pleasinp memento of
this little episode that 1 possess is an
exquisitely fashiona'd small pold br.HN-h.
