The Man with the Hessian Boots.
Among the persons who were in the hab
it of regularly frequentibg the well-known
Cafe de Foy in the Palais Royal, about the
year 1815, was a little old man, very care
fully dressed, although his •costume consti
tuted a real anachrouistb.' His 'Th'sad—was
enveloped in a warni Welsh wig, with a
long thick queue depending from it, which
appeared, when viewed from its hinder as
pect, to resemble a full grown cabbage,
with the stem still dangling from its cir
cumference. His pantaloons were of black
cloth, and were met midway down his stum
py legs by long. Hessian boots, garnished
with tassels, and bright as the surface of a
PROPRIETOR,
polished mirror; a long green waistcoat fell
downwards in folds, so as to cover in part,
a round and well-developed paunch; and a
loose and capacious coat of a deep maroon
color, decorated with large brig metal but
tons, and forcibly reminding one of the era
of the republic, encased the outer man ;
and a hat, leveled off into a sugar-loaf form
surmounted the wig, and completed the
equipment.
After all, however, this costume was
nothing very extraordinary, or indeed very
different from that of hundreds of anti
quated men who about this epoch were to
be seen swarming forth in fine weather, like
a host of innocent green frogs basking in
the sun after a spring shower. The little
old man in question visited the Cafe de Foy
every morning precisely at one o'clock, call
ed for a cup of coffee with cream, and roll
of bread, which he always divided into the
same number of circular slices. It was ne
cessary, however, that this bread should be
stale, and as they knew the peculiar fancy
of the old gentleman iu this respect, a roll
was carefully reserved from each day's con
sumption, and put aside for his breakfast
the following morning. From this prac
tice the old gentlemanbecame known among
the different waiters by the sobriquet of
"the old man who always ate stale bread."
The old gentleman's state of existence
was so uniform, and, his movements so reg
ular, as to resemble in no small degree
those of an automaton. He entered the
Cafe every morning without looking to the
right or the left, and proceeded directly for
wards to a little round table, disolated and
incommodious, and which for this reason
was nearly always vacant. After being
served with his breakfast he invariably ab
stracted two out of the five pieces of sugar
which figured beside his cup, and conveyed
them into the dexter pocket of his green
waistcoat; he next proceeded to butter in
succession each of the numerous morsels of
' bread, adding, if I mistake not, precisely
the same number of grains of salt to each,
and then ate his breakfast, cautiously ab
staining from looking at any of the jour
nals or periodicals.
Same of the ardent politicians who fre.
quented the -Cafe expressed astonishment
and contempt at this last habit and regard
ed the little old man as a very Vandal, care
less of the honor and interests of his coun
try. The more judicious, and among them
myself, were of-a different opinion; we con
sidered him, for precisely the same reasons,
a very paragon of prudence and wisdom.
Inattentive to both parties, the 'man who
always ate stale bread' pursued the quiet
tenor of his way without change. He
❑ever attempted to form any intimacies, or
63U,ffered any unnecessary expressions to es
cape his lips; his breakfast was eaten in si
lence, and usually terminated with the
finale of a march beaten with his fingers on
the table. His next step consisted in pull
ing up the Hessian boots to their greatest
attitude, after which he paid for his break
fast, gave the waiter a sou, and left the
house without saluting that dame de com
toir.
The worthy old gentleman's habits and
peculiarties excited so much—attention
mong the customers and waiters at the cof
fee-house, and his manners were so gentle
and docile, that some of the younger peo
kola began to think he would prove an

gible butt for their pleasantries. A sub
lieutenant on half-pay, and in want of cheap
amusement, determined one day to forestall
the old gentleman in his accustomed seat,
and take possession of the table to which he
was attached. The little man arrived, and
without being disconcerted took his seat on
the opposite side. -
"There is no room here for two," said the
young fire-eater, twirling his moustache.
"I have used this table for months," re
plied the old man without moving, and in a
deprecating tone of voice.
The soldier could not resist the appeal,
and retreated from the field. This occur
rence encouraged one of the waiters to make
a further trial of his equanimity: the little
old man, unwilling, as I have said, to waste
words, was in the habit of holding out his
fore-finger to indicate the y uangum sulicit of
coffee and cream. The waiter pretending in
advertance, directed the stream of boiling
coffee over the finger of the original, at the
instant that he waved it forth as the signal
to cease pouring. The sufferer rose silently
from his seat, and with an alacrity for which
no one gave him credit, brought the point
of his stout Hessian boot in contact with
that part of the person of the waiter uncov
ered by coat tails, and sent the joker spin
ning across the floor of the apartment.
The waiter was exiled from the coffee
house as a punishment for the attack ; the
justice of the master condemned him to
serve for a certain space in the laboratory,
as the kitchen of the cafe-restaurant is call
ed.
In the end, "the man who always ate stale
bread" triumphed over his tormentors, and
generally had the laughter on his own side;
he•3iid not, however, exhibit any appearance
of triumph; and after one or two additional
attempts at mystification, finding him quite
immovable, his enemies left him to enjoy
in peace his little table at the Cafe de
Foy.
One day, towards the close of the year
ISI7, the old man quitted the cafe without
paying for his breakfast; but as he made no
observation in so doing it was supposed he
had forgotten it and would remember -the
next morning. The coffee-house keeper,
however, reckoned without his host in this
supposition for the next day came, and the
next, and the next-,---"the man who always,
ate stale bread" regularly pecketed his two,
lumps of sugar, beat his accustomed march,.
pulled up his Hessian boots, and did all '
that he had been accustomed to do, with
the exception of paying his bill
This change in his usual practice conti
nued for a week, at the end of which time
the proprietor of the coffee-house, ignorant
of the name or residence of his debtor, de-'
termined upon presenting him with a bill,
the more especially as the little man gave
no explanation of his conduct, or made any
allusion to this remarkable change in his
ancient habits.
Dominic, the chief waiter of the estab
lishment, had become attached to the old
man in consequence of the little trouble he
gave, and hisy_uiet and gentle demeanor.
- Doiniiiic imagined from the circumstance of
his not diminishing the expense of his break
fast that the good man was merely laboring
under some temporary embarassment ; so
that partly from calculation and partly from
good feeling Dowinio determined to become
responsible to the proprietor for the past
and future breakfasts, not doubting that the
embarrassment would shortly cease, and
that the little man would soon settle his ar
rears, and perhaps accompany the settle
ment with a gratuity for the accommoda
tion.
But Dominic was deceived in his calcu
lation of time; ten months elapsed without
any allusion to the matter, or offer of pay
ment. The coffee-house keeper and his
waiters began to shrug their shoulders and
make faces at the risk poor Dominick was
running. .Dominic himself, exposed to these
daily donbts, began to think he had acted
too liberally in becoming responsible for a
man whose debt seemed destined to go on
accruing for ever, when one day the old man,
without any .explanation, deManded his ac
count, settled it in full, and after a careful
calculation, handed to the waiter, in addi
tion, the sum of fifteen francs six sous, as
his gratuity, at the rate of one sou a day for
ten months, of which four contained each
thirty-one days:
If interest alone had guided the conduct
of the head waiter it must be confessed that
he had lamentably failed in the result, for
in France the contributions to the waiters
are all placed in one general cash-box, and
divided among all the servants of the house,
the master first helping himself to the lion's
share; at this rate, therefore, 'Dominie's re
compense would amount to a solitary six
pence. Dominic knew this, but was satis
fied with the reward of his own heart ; he
thanked the old man graciously for the pay
ment, placed the gratuity in the common
receptacle, and transferred the other monies
to his own stronghold, for he had previously
paid day by day the expense of the break
fast from his own pocket.
The little man followed Dominic's move
ments with his eyes, at the same time beat
ing upon the table a march somewhat long
er and a little more vehement than was his
wont; but by no word or movement did he
afford an indication of having understood
the liberal conduct of the waiter in his be
half.
About the close of the same year—that is
to say, three or four months after the liqui
dation of this singular debt, the proprietor
of the cafe who had realized a fortune, an
nounced his intention of disposing of the
establishment and retiring from the trade.
Hearing this intention announced in the
cafe, the old gentleman mada a sign to Do.
minic, who was in attendance, to approach,
and began a conversation Dominic was as
much surprised at this sudden fit of loqua
city as though one of the stucco figures on
the ceiling had opened ita mouth and ask
ed for a cup of coffee. But Dominic was
destined to be even more surprised at the
nature of the conversation.
"My friend," said the little old. gentle-
Man to the head waiter, "you are a good
fellow and I wish you well."
Dominic bowed, and elevated his shoul
ders with that slight movement which may
be interpreted ad IzZiturn, to mean "I am
much obliged," or "it is of little conse
quence to me." The old man took the
former explanation, and continued—
" Dominic, I am sure you haie been eco -
nomical ; I know this, and much more of
which I do not speak, because I am too well
acqttainted. with the value of words to throw
them aWay—l know you have saved man
ey."
Dominic bounded back a step or two, and
thti action hardly needed to be interpreted.
NMI
"He is about to ask me to lend him money,"
thought the head waiter,
The questioner appeared to divine the
thoughts of the waiter; his visage was for an
instant distorted with a grimace of which
the model may be seen in the middle ages
which decorate the porch of some Gothic
church.
"Dominic," he eontinued, "I see that I
am right—you have money in the funds.
This is excellent; and now to reply to my
question shortly and to the purpose. Do
you think from your knowledge that an in—
telligent man, desirous of improving his
cumstances, would find this a favorable spec
ulation in which to risk a capital so large
as that demanded by your master for his
business ?"
Dominic was pleased to have anopportu
city of talking on a subject which entirely
occupied his thougts. "If," said he, "the
person understood the business so as to be
able to attend to his own interests, and if
he was not compelled to borrow the pur
chase money on extravagant terms, he would
find the business a fortune.
"Well and why do you not purchase it?"
"Mercy, II with what?"
" With your savings."
"My savings! they do not altogether a
mount to ten thousand franca."
" Ten thousand francs! how long have
you been in the service Dominic?"
"I have carried the napkin for twenty
three years. lam now thirty-nine."
"You are a good fellow as I said; the
man who could amass ten thousand francs
by adding sou to sou would soon be worth a
million at the head of a house like this De
cidedly, it must be so. Dominic I knew a
person who could assist you with a loan ;
how much do you want?"
"Nothing. I would not incur a debt of
two hundred and twenty thousand francs—
the risk is too great, and the interest would
probably absorb all the profit. I would ra
ther continue a waiter a few years longer,
and retire upon a small annuity, than run
the risk of marching to prison in the shoes
of a bankrupt."
"You speak sense, my. Mend, but leave
the:matter to me."
The old man then adjusted the folds of
his boots, and departed without uttering
another word. The next morning he came
to the cafe half an hour earlier than was
his custom. Dominic commenced arrang
ing his table, but the old man arrested his
arm.
"Where is the proprietor ?" said he
"In his cabinet," said Dominic.
"Conduct me to him."
Dominie moved forward to show the old
man the way ; his heart beat with violence,
for although he had passed the whole of the
preceding day, in trying to convince himself
that the good man was weak in intellect,
and was trifling with him; still his perplex
ity returned when he beheld the air of as
surance and determination with which "the
man who always ate stale bread" proceeded
about the business. When they both ar
rived in the presence of the proprietor the
old man commenced the conversation with
out further preamble._
"Hat Much do you demand for your eB.
tablishment?" said he.
" Before I reply to your inquiry," said
the proprietor, who suspected some mystifi
cation, or scene of folly, "before I reply to
your demand and enter upon the affair with
you, suffer me to ask whom I have the hon
or to address?"
"You are right. If two parties are about
to enter into a contract, it is first of all ne
cessary that they should know and have
confidence in each other. I am Baron
Ragelet, en commissary-general of the
armies of the empire."
"Baron Ragelet!" said the proprietor,
bowing; I know the name; "I have seen it
lately in the newspapers."
"No doubt—in relation to an injunction
obtained by my indignant family to prevent
me from wasting my fortune. They say
that I am a fool, and that my liberality has
its origin in imbecility. During ten months,
while the inquiry was going on, my ',prop
erty was estreated, and I refused to touch
the allowance offered me. Since then the
inquiry has terminated in favor of my san
ity, and having again entered upon the ad
minstration of my property, I was enabled
to refund to this excellent man the little
sum he had the generosity to disburse for
me. Now that we know each other let us
return to business. What sum do you de
mand for your establishment?"
"Two hundred and twenty thousand
francs."
"It is not perhaps too dear; and you would
probably have no objection to leave some of
the purchase money on mortgage. But lis
ten to me. The times are'unsettled, and
the most solid establishments are at the mer
cy of revolutions, and two hundred thous
and francs now is better than two hundred
and twenty thousand in prospect.—" Here
then," he continued, drawing an old port
folio from his pocket, " is two hundred
thousand francs in notes on the bank of
France. If these satisfy you the affair is
finished. This is my way of transacting
business, and in my time I have completed
more important bargains in fewer words."
Dominic and his master both seemed
stupefied with surprise. The baron appear
ed to enjoy their confusion, and rubbed his
hands and repeated the grimace to which
we have already alluded.
"I am willingto agree," said the proprie•
tor; "but it is necessary that.the matter
should be arranged by lonotary."
"Why so? Is not the sale executed in
good form by three parties present ?"
"But with respect to the interest," mur
mured Dominic, in a smothered tone of
voice, seizing the baron's coat, " it is neces
sary—"
" Bah !" replied the old man, "I do it
to oblige a friend, and am no usurer. Give
me your acknowledgment—l desire noth
inc, else. But as I have no intention of
making you a present of two hundred
thousand francs, I will arrange it in such
a manner that you shall not long remain my
debtor."
Dominic fell from his elevation, and "the
man who always ate stale bread " descend
ed to the coffee-room. While the buyer
and seller were preparing themselves to
register the transfer of property, he swal
lowed tranquilly his cup of coffee, without
forgetting the two pieces of )3 ugar to be
transferred to his pocket, beat a superb
march , on the table, drew up his boots and
departed with his two friends to finish, by a
dash of a pen, a transfer of the two hun
dred thousand francs.
In a few days Dominic was installed in
his new dignity. The little old man
~cont
inned to take his customary breakfast in
his usual impassable manner s when one day
NITBER 273 i;
as be was leaving the room, he deviated so
far from his usual custom as to approach
Dominic, who was enthroned in the seat of
honor, and addressed him with the following
words :
"Dominic," said he, "I think you have
warm affections."
"Perhaps," said,Dominio, fixing his eys
upon the baron, as though he would read
his thoughts.
"I see," said thelother, "you have them
when the occasion' demands it; you are
right—l am pleased with the reservation.
I find you have not i lost your heart—mar
riage is the most important affair of a man's
life. Dominic, you must get married."
"I have already thought of it, sir," said
Dominic, "a wife would be a great source
of comfort and economy—it would save the
expence of a damede comptoir."
"True," said the;baron; "you have need
of aid and counsel—and you shall have
them. Be ready at eight o'clock this even
ing ; I will call for you, and we will pay a
visit together."
The appointed hOur arrived, and with it
the Baron. Dominic was ready, and ac
companied Monsier ! Ragelet in a hackney
coach to that quarter of` decayed wealth ;
the Faubourg St. Germain. Here' they
stopped at the door of a house of mean
appearance, and having ascended several
flights of stairs, ent6red a small apartment,
where ey found twu!:li dies, who received
them with marked attention.
"Madame Dupre," said the Baron to one
of them, with an appearance of friendly
familiarity, "this is the worthy man of whom
I have spoken and in whose welfare I hope
to interest you.—Dominic," continued he,
turning towards the coffee-house keeper,
"this lady is the widow of a man who has
rendered me many important services. She
has promised to extend her favors to you,
and will permit you to visit her at intervals."
While Monsieur Ragelet was making these
introductions in due form, the daughter of
Madame Dupre, whdse name was Rose, and
who, without being exactly beautiful, pos„
sessed all the freshness and bloom of the
flower, whose name she bore, regarded Dom
inic attentively, and the in return bestowed
upon her a large share of his attention.
The result of thi.4, double investigation
appeared favorable to both parties, for Dom
inic was well-formed, and with good fea
tures, and his coutenance reflected the good.
ness and gentleness' of, his heart. He had
also taken care at his first introduction to
set off his person to the best advantage,
helievinglthe old 'adage, that, with the
ladies, Ce7i' est yui le premier pas pi eoute.
But the meannes.s of the apartment, and
the simple and unoxpensive dresses of the
ladies, somewhatdisappointed] Dominic.
He was anxious 4_ the earliest possible
moment to return ; the baron's loan, and
indeed thought, fro'ni a hint the baron had
dropped, that it wa his intention to intro
duce him to a lady bf property, with some
sum towards the liquidation of his debt.
But observing such obvious signs of
want of wealth in the Dnpres, he came to
the conclusion that the baron was now de
sirous of marrying him to a girl who had
bwu under his protction in return for the
favors which he hat lust bestowed. This
thought occasioned Dominic great uneasi
ness; but whatever the appearances might
be, the conclusion was a wrong one. The
next day, as the interview had been satie
factory between thei young people, the baron
announced to Dominic his plans in full.
He stated the nature of the 'obligations con
ferred upon him byl the elder Dupre, and
his desire, as his faMily were left in adverse
circumstances, to return the obligation with
out alarming their delicacy; and this, he
thofight, he could ibest do by effecting a
marriage between Donainie and the daugh
ter of his friend.
Dominic was satisfied with this explana
nation and arrangement; the young lady
appeared truly amiable, and desirable as a
partner for life; and before a week had
elapsed Dominic made a formal offer of his
hand and heart, and was duly accepted by
the protege of "the !man who always 'ate
stale bread.
The marriage was (soon after solemnized;
and the same day, after his usual breakfast,
the baron beckoned the Dominic to ap
proach.
"You have done well," said he; "you
have married, without interested motives a
woman desirous and capable of rendering
you happy. I told you I should find the
means to cancel the debt you owe me : it is
the dowry of Rose. i "And here," contin
ued he tearing the two hundred thousand
franc bill in pieces, /I destroy the aeknowl:
edgement you gave for the money. Enjoy
it, and be happy.
Dominic, full of gratitude, would have
thrown himself at the baron's feet, but he
was already out of the door.
"Two or three Bch reparations," he
muttered to himself, as he walked swiftly
away, " and I. shall idie contented and an.'
