A happy home that of the Sigaults—the husband Jobn, a sober workman, his wife Theresa, gentle and honest, family an urchin 0 years of age, M. Polyte— a very devil, said lis father, and with that always first in school, John Sigault was a skillful molder, The- resa was known as the most tasteful milliner of Montmartre, All that little world lived without any other care but the future of M. Polyte Father and mother prepared to drain them- selves when that would become necessary, as Polyte had already shown some inclination toward the learning of an art whose ap- prenticeship costs a great deal. John had a friend named Robert, a stonecutter em- ployed in the studio of a celebrated sculptor, | The child had been admitted in the con- templation of the world renowned artists, of Ww. the two workmen spoke of as a demigod, At first XM Polyte was intimidated; then he familiarized himself when he saw the great man. Nothing was less imposing than tnis short, old fellow, wearing a blouse abominably maculated, occupying himself in the making of small balls of sticky clay with his clammy fingers. This cry from the heart escaped from the lips of this Parisian gamin: “Papa! when I am big I will be a sculptor, because at least that is dirty!” The member of the institute de France, who was a kind of wag, decared that this exclamation might pass for an unequivocal mamifestation of an arlist’s vocation. The good parents did not go further, From this memorable day, when Theresa bad to work late in cutting, repairing and washing the clothes and linen of “her mon,” she said to the boy: “All right only when I cannot work any more, wonsieur the sculptor, it is you who shall work for me.” Then from an early period Polyte was taught that the destinies of bis family would rest one day envirely on his conduct and labor, Besides, John Sigauit had been a soldier and his moral education of his child bore marks of his military life. Early be took care to devglop the sentiment of responsi bility in his son by making him believe that, in some time to come, be would have to sup- port his parents, Bo it was, when the molder left Theresa alone in the house, he said to Polyte, “Boy, I am going out and place mamma under your protection; you stand sentinel!” And Polyte, honored with such high confi dence, would have allowed any one to make migeemeat of him rather than go out and jist with the other urehins of the neighbor now, Those humble people, so quiet, so loving, so united, were too happy. That could not last The 15th of July, 1870, the declaration of war to Germany was published in Paris From that day John was not the same man That model of a workman, having absolutely nothing to do in the shop, expended his whole time in the reading of newspapers. One even- ing he came home, pale with rage. The Ger- mans were in sight of Paris! During the following night he had the fever —a& patriotic one. His despair broke out into terrific invectives against his egotism of a bappy husband and a timorous father; so much that Theresa, although she had ne thing of a heroive in her, ended by plagiarizing that famous phrase, “And now, go to fight.” And he went, In a few days he had won ain his ser. it’s stripes.

All of a sudden be saw people pushing each pther. In the middle of the street a young an was selling newspapers. The crowd ought among themselves in their eagorness 0 buy The Petit Journal.

He bought a popy of The Journal, read the direction of ita publishers, ran to the office and asked a clerk confide a number of papers to him, As he had no money the man refused to en. rtain bis demand.
