When Narrisse Isidore Dnpnnt, first
pupil of a distinguished coiffeur of
the Boulevard Montwarte, went to
Mexico, it was to make hit fortune.
''It is neither by luck or the caprices
of fortune that I am to pet along in
the world," he said to Tiimself. "If
ever I want to be roaster of a pretty
little property at the Batignolles it
will be due entirely to my possessing,
with a love of ray art.aa skillful a pair
of hands ai can be found in all France
and my curling irons. Come, Narcisse,
pioche." And pioche, or pitch into
things with a will, did Narcisse. Ac
cident led him to the good city of
Guanajuato, in Mexico, because be
had heard that once on a time a
French barber had made a fortune
there. Possessed of a slight smatter
ing of SpaniBh, -acquired during a
year's apprenticeship in a department

had very little difficulty in mneterinj

For four long year Narcisse toiled
and saved his wages. One dnv hit
employer died, and the (hop and good
will of the establishment were for sale.
The whole of Narcisse't fortune
amounted to. 500 pesos. The price
asked by the Mexican wife of bis late
master was 1,000 pesos. "It was
good chance and not much out of the
way," thought Narcisse. "Wpuld his
reverence, the Padre Dorainioue,"
who, as the widow's man of business
had the shop for sale, would he take
half cash and the rest at six and
twelve months, holding the place in
the mean time as security f" "No,
decidedly he would not. They all had
the utmost confidence, nay esteem, big'
nor Narcisse, but such things as time
bargains were not to be thought of in
Mexico. They would, however, give
C- e '! l & . ,L!, 5. Tf
oiguor a lonoigni 10 inma over it. i
the bargain was not concluded then
why, rather than abate terras a real,
they would shut the shop up, ana
Bignor Narcisse was at liberty to go
and open a shop elsewhere.
Narcisse, in a. melancholy mood, was
rubbing bis brushes together in th
barber s shop when a certain Don
Miguel entered. Don Miguel was one
of the most carefully dressed men in
Gnanajuato. The gentleman took
bis place in one of the two chairs, re-
?ueiting that his hair might be re
reshed. Narcisse who, as became
bis calling, was volubility itself
spoke of the death of the master, the
price of the shop, what be would like
to pay for it, and his regret at not be
coming the purchaser.
"Ah 1" taid Don Miguel, "you have
five hundred pesos? Quite a nice lit
tle sum. Now listen, would you
double it?"
"Double it? of coarso; that it by
honest means."
"Nothing easier. Bet on my black
ga mo-cock ; I have wagered no. end
of ounces on him. He is sure to win.
Don Ramon's cock will run away be
fore my Cid."
"Thanks, Signore, for your offer;
but cock-fighting is not in my line.
See you.an accidental peck might carry
away the fruits of a great deal of la
bor, replied Narcisse,
"You have no heart, no courage ?
continued Dou Miguel. "1 ray, as a
capitalist, do you keep your money at
the banker's? Bankers fail some
times."
"No I do not keep it at any bank
er's." "You do not carry it about you, do
you?" inquired the gentleman. .What
Narcisse might have answered, as he
tapped involuntarily on his breeches
pocket, wat never heard, because .just
then a slight accident happened. Tex
coco, as he wat called, was an Indian
water-carrier, wbto, everyday brought
two large earthenware jars ef water
to the shop, and poured their contents
into a stone reservoir which stood on
one side of the room. Either Texco
co had drank too much pulque or his
foot slipped, for he upset fully a gal
lon of the water on Don Miguel's snow
white nantaloons. so that quite a little
cataraVt poured down on hi white
silk stockings, and deluged his neat
dazed leather pumpa.
"Awkward beast 1 Left banded
scoundrel! Stupid lout! Low hound
of a peon !" shouted the man in the
vbair, as, in a terrible rage, he seized
his cane and struck the water-carrier
over the head. The Indian cringed
nder the punishment like a enr, and
the blow was about being repeated,
hen Narcisse interfered.
"Come, come. Signore this poor
devil did not do it on purpose, lie is
very sorry tor it. Jt might have been
my fault. I ought to have told you
to take the other chair. Pray, now,
Af not strike him any more. Lr fact,
can't allow it."
"I would have you know," my bar
ber friend," said the gentleman, with
a sneer, "that I administer punishment
whenever 1 please, and to whom 1
please, and no man may say Day to
me. How, NarciM, who was as pence
ful at a lamb, had some peculiar ideas
of his own. He wonld have looked
on indifferently when two men were
fighting it out neatly with swords, but
the idea of striking any one with a
stick was a brutality, according to hit
notions, lhen again, there was some
thing about thaCSa of Don Miguel
which Narcisse did not relish.
Narcisse, though quite determined,
was very respectful. "My dear sir,
one blow is sufficient, and I am quite
decided that a seoond one would be
superfluous.' ' i'ray put down your
slick." But Don Miguel, with the
wtt trousers and damn stockings, was
remorseless, and whirling his stick in
the air, was about bringing it down a
second time on the water-carrier's
head, when Narcisse clutched a small
brass rod in which a curtain hung,
threw the bit of faded calico before
Texcoco, as if Texooco had been a
bull at the Coridat de Torejt and by
a neat turn of the wrist disarmed Don
Miguel, whose stick flew to the other
side of the room. Narcisse was handy
with a foil, having had many a bout
with the soldiers when he worked at
Tarbo.
"It takes no more than that," said
is arcisne, smiling, at he picked up
Don Miguel t stick and handed it back
to him. "Now, sir, I beg of you to
ai WUn again. I will heat an iron
and am not too aroud to press out
your trousers for yoit. .
"I will never honor jour shop with
mv presence aeain. ou have insult-
ed a Mexican, ana Jfon Miguel
stalked out of the shop with a bitter
scowl of hate on hit face.
"It is a bad business, master," said
the Indian.
"Yes, Texcoco."
"It is a knife thrust neither more
nor less," continued the water-carrier,
"Diable! You don't mean it?"
"Don't go out without your rystol
master." !
"Nonsense."
"I am sorry."
"So am I.'f
"You ttood up for me," said the In
dian.
"Did I? Well I would do that for
any man, though my friend the water
carrier, you have lost me a customer,
"Customers go and customers come;
adieu ; you have pesos T 1 heard you
say to. Uuanaiunto is pretty safe
at least for those wbo don t carry tbei
fortunes about with them. Good bye,
sir, a second blow lrom that gentle
man I should not have relished, one
taste was sufficient; but what justice
can a poor devil like Texcoco get,"
and saying this the water-carrier left.
"A bad beginning," said Narcisse.
"I have a fortnight before me, and
have lost a day and a customer." Nar
cisse was in bad spirits that nighty as
he went homeward to his lodgings in
a street near the Park El Cantador.
"Alas! my pretty house at Batignolles,
it will not be mine. Perhaps by slav
ing for thirty yeart to come I might
own it. Had I been able to secure the
shop it would only have been a mat
ter of ten years." That was all Nar
cisse thought for many a long weary
day afterward, for the next moment a
man sprang from behind a mimosa
tree at Narcisse, and the poor coiffeur
bad a knife plunged icto the middle
of his back. It was daybreak before

to bn awakened from his lethargy,
and, though speechless, made signs
that his pockets be examined. In his
pocket, in a wallet, .Narcisse had kept
his money in French and English
bank notes. The surgeon seemed to
comprehend what- the wounded man
wanted, ".there is nothing here," he
said. Evidently Narcisse understood
bim. and he sack back exhausted up
on the bed. The next day a terrible
fever set in, poor Narciae wat delir
ious, and raved about the pretty little
house in Batiugnolles. On the third
day Narcisse wat worse. He bung
between life and death for a week, and
then slowly mended.
One day he was juBt able to make
out that some duBky torm was bend
ing over him in prayer, and that pres
ently a dark band prntiered him
glass of cool water. "It is I, my mas'
ter. Don't speak : you are mending
to they say. I cannot stay longer ; I
have important business." Confused
as was Narcisse, he thought he receg
nized a familiar voice. He fancied it
was the w.iter-carrier, for the surgeon
said to the sister of Mercv, "Well, I
never saw one of those Indiut show
feeling before. But keep him out.
The Frenchman's condition is too low
to allow of at ;tttj' even talking tj
him." That nextjiight, as Narcisse
ii y in his fever, he thought he heard
a stir in the ward. ' Another patient
was being put in the bed next to him.
Narcisse was conscious of hearing a
man in his agony. Presently Narcisse
lept, and when he awoke next ra or li
ng at daybreak felt slightly refreshed.
The sun was gloaming in the room,
gilding even the squalid hospital
chamber. Narcisse could now see
clearly; his eyes had been veiled before.
There was not a soul moving in the
room. All the occupants of the
room were apparently asleep; even
the good sister dozed in hef chair. He
glanced at the patient in the cot near
him. Horror! was be delirious 7 No,
