TRE TR TR TIER Egle | # 'PIERRE’'S { BLACK CAT] i By Florence Goodfellow {i { Copyright, 1901, by Florence Goodfellow {i IEEE Ee Eee eed Pierre Latroux’s mouselike eves snapped and sparkled like two jet beads as he listcned to the plan Levi Arnold unfolded. “Mon Dieu!” he exclaimed. *'Tis too izood a chance to let slip. You are sure,” he added cautiously, “that the scheme is all right so far?” “Come to my place this evening, and I will give you the diamonds, safe and sound. If they reach my client's hands in New York within a month's time, vou will get your reward in gold—500 frances.” rood! I'll Just trust me.” “Without a doubt you've done smug- gling before.” Pierre locked up sharply. “There is no trickery in this, mon- sieur? If I thought there was, rest as- sured you would not. live to see your plans either succeed or fail.” And he drew his hands across his throat with an expression so peculiar that his lis- tener shivered. “No; you have nothing to fear. Jer- emy Stotts told me to come to you. You could not do better than to go to him about nie.” “Jeremy Stotts is.a man to be trust- ed. If he sent you. then tonight I'll come for the diamonds. How many did you say there were?” “Fnough {or a king's ransom. Re- member, Pierre, if you fail”— i~re shrugged his shoulders care- manage it somehow. “I've smuzgled before! There's a nice Lit of superfine tobacco I intend to get across this trip. Oh, never fear, mon- sieur; if any one can do it, it is Pierre, sceoind officer of the Ocean Queen. Adieu!” And. placing between his lips the cigarette he had been rolling, the little Frenchman waved his hand and strolled away. It was a simple matter while on board for the smuggler to keep his dinmonds and tobacco concealed, but as the Ocean Queen drew nearer the American shores his heart beat wildly between hope and fear, and woven with all his daily du- tics was the question, “How, how, how?" For to Plerre's earg had come the rumor of fresh vigilance on the part of the American autharities. Smug- gling had become altogether too daring and too frequent. Especially had some tremendous deals in diamonds roused the custom officials to action. Before the ship had scraped her sides against the pier, however, a plan had been evolved by the Frenchman's ready braiu. Inspectors came and went about the ship. but the quick lit- INSTANTLY A BLACK CAT SPRANG OUT AND DISAPPEARED. tle officer entertained them so wittily that they FFrenchinan’s search. No smuggled goods of any descrip- tion were discoverca on board the Ocean Queen, ane the officers of the government left i'ierre with regret and the determination te look up the jolly littie Frenchman the very next time his ship came in. alive to the than to their were more drollery A few days after the visit of the in- spectnrs Pierre, with a huge covered basket on his arm, stepped boldly down the gangplank, across the shipping pard into the street. He held one hand carefully on the lid of the basket, which was tied down at each side with heavy twine. Certainly his appearance was not calculated to quit suspicion, and before he had passed the street a policeman touched hin) on the shoulder. “Ixcuse me, sir,” he said, “but 1 shall have to look iufo that basket.” “Look into my uasket!” exclaimed Pierre in well feigned astonishment. “And for why?’ he added. holding the iid down more firmly. “Gur orders, sir.” “But my cat is in the basket, and she will get away.” “I must see for myself,” replied the cfiiver. “Il can’t take your word for anything like that.” At this the Frenchman became an- gry His eyes smoldered like redhot coals. “I tell you,” he almost screamed, “it’s only & cat, and she will run away from me, and I brought her all the way ‘let the lid fall away. 1 from la belle France for my mother- | in-law.” “I can’t help it if you brought her all | the way from the moon. I've got to see | what's in that basket.” | “Bat, 1 tell you, it’s a eat, and if 1 | open the basket ever so little she will | run, and monsieur knows mothers-in- | law. Not so?’ he asked, with a wry face. i “Come! Untic those cords. I'm bound | to inspect that basket.” With a rueful countenance Pierre carefully untied the strings. The offi- cer reached cut his hand to lift the lid. “Careful, careful!” exclaimed Pierre, placing a restraining hand on the po- ! liceman’s sleeve. “I don’t want to chase after my cat again. I.e bon Dieu knews I had trouble enough in getting her as it is.” And then he suddenly Instantly a black cat sprang out and, darting between the policeman’s legs, disappeared. Pierre had placed the basket cn the ground in such a way that when the animal sprang out the nearest way of escape would be the shipyard. [ITisz calculations were cor- rect, and when the officer of the law turned all Lie saw was a bleck til dis- appearing through the door in the wall inclesing {he yard. The Frecehman’s entire vocabulary was then turned loose, and before he had stopped his cursing in French and English the policeman almost wished he were as far away as the cat. He honestly felt sorry that he had been so insistent. I'he Irenclunan’s distress vas so very great. Ile went so far in his remorse as to offer to return with | Pierre and help him find his eat again. | At this, however, the clever little | fellow calmed down. “Bon Dieu!” he exclaimed. “Here am | I blaming you because you did your duty. If my men did theirs half as well, | I'd have the finest ship in the service. | Your pardon. monsieur,” offering his Land with 0 winning smile and raising | his peaked cap. “I admire you 80 | much now as I blamed you Lefore. 1] will find my cat again, monsieur, and then you must join me in a toast to Amerien’s gendurmes.” And placing the lid again on the basket, which had | fallen over to the ground. he picked it | up and walked quickly back to the ship. In half an beur he returned with a smile on his face, “I've get hier,” he said to the police- man, tapping the basket gently. “and a pretty hunt I had too! I'll warrant she won't get out gain if I know it.” “I'm very sorry, sir, I put you to all that trouble,” said the officer, eying the basket. “Well, I'll take your word this time.” “That's right, that's right,” replied Pierre. “It’s never too late to right a wrong. Now for the toast. I do not forget—eh ?"’ he added, leading the way | to a nearby saloon. For some time the two men stood at the bar with the basket at their feet. The Frenchman's ready sallies and stirring anecdotes of the sea kept the crowd around them roaring. Then, when he thought he had remained long enough to avert any suspicion that might linger in the officer's mind, he took the basket on his arm and, ac- companied to the corner by the blue coated officer of.the law, hailed a pass- ing car and was soon out of sight. In! the meanwhile the black cat frisked in the ship's hold, for in the basket a fortune in diamonds was buried be- neath some superfine tobacco. Judge Story Cornered. Judge Story’s lectures at the school carried away his listeners with the pure enthusiasm of the speaker. His extraordinary memory, copious learn- ing and long, practical experience, com- bined with his ready invention of il- Iustration and wonderful fluency of ex- | pression, often caused him to wander widely from the starting topic and sweep with amazing facility over far distant regions of theory or practice or | even perscnal reminiscence. Alas, that | a veracious chronicler must set dewn | that in those bygone times the young | idea in proce of being taught was no | more scru ous in evading that proc- css than the ecarncst disciples of | the present! “It was easy,” says 8 student of that day. ‘to draw the old] judge from the point under considera- | tion to a lengthy account of Chief Jus- | tice Marshal: and his fellows, and this | was apt to be done every day.” Pro-| fessor Ashimun apparently tried ‘to re- strain and even counteract this tenden- | cy of the judge, and there is a tale to the effect that Story once remarked somewhat testily: ‘Now, Ashmun, don’t you contradict what I say. I be- lieve you would try to coriect me if I told you that two and two n ake four.” “Of course I should,” retorted Ashmun instantly; “they make tw :nty-two.”’— Samuel F. Batchelder 'n atlantic. He Wanced Quotations. Mr. H. B. Claflin. the founder of the New York dry goods house of that name, made a strong effort to maintain personal relations with his customers. He always encouraged buyers to come to him for a friendly talk. and as far as possible he advised them concern- ing the matters in hand. One day a customer called, and as he entered the private office Mr. Claf- iin looked up from his desk and called: ‘Hello! How are you feeling today ?”’ “I’m feeling fine, Mr. Claflin. I nev- er was better.” “And how is the business?” “Oh, that’s different, Mr. Claflin. I think I must have a failure.” “What! A failure? How is that? Haven't yeu made money?” “I used to, Mr. Claflin, but not now.
