There were only three of us—Sorieul, Le Poittevin and myself. Sorieul was the wildest of ■us all, and to say we had dined a t his house signifies we were’all "drunk. Le Poittevin alone retained ’ his senses,—a little cloudy, it is true ; still he knew what he was doing. Ah, we were young in those days! Lying on th e carpet in a little room, adjoining the atelier, we dis-. cussed -in- the most extravagant manner a ll. kinds of improbable things. - Sorieul, fiat-on-hia-baek,_his fee t, perched o n 't h e b a c k '‘of a chair, talked about' battles and the uni­ forms worn during the empire. Sud­ denly getting up, he went to a largo wardrobe and took down a complete suit of hussar uniform, dressed him­ self in it, then tried to persuade Le Poitteviii to costume himself as a grenadier. When he resisted, we seized him, undressed hinV-and forc­ ed him intd an immense uniform which completely swallowed him up, 1 disguised myself as a cuirassier, and_Sorieul made us execute some very complicated maneuvers. Then ho exclaimed, “As we are now soldiers, We must' drink like soldiers 1 ” A punch was lighted, swallowed. Again and again the flames rose up from the howl of rum .1 We simg the old songs which the troopers of tho Grand Army sang- in ancient times. 'Suddenly Le Poittevin, who in spite of all th is was still-master of himself, made us a sign to be silent. A fter listening a moment he said in a low voice, “I am surd I hoar some one wallring in the atelier 1 ” Sorieul got-up as well as ho could and cried ou t; “A robber 1* What luck I” and began to troll tho “Mar-* seillaisd," “To arms! To arms, ye bravo!” - Wo dashed to a panoply of arms and equipped ourselyes according to; our uniforms. 1 had a kind of mus­ ket, with a saber, Le Poittevin a gigantic gun with a bayonet; So­ rieul, not finding what h a wanted, seized a horse pistol, which ho stuck in his belt, and a boarding ax, which he wildly brandished. Then, cau­ tiously opening the ddor of the ate­ lier, the army, entered tlic suspected territory. When, we were in the midst of this vast room, incumbered With easels, pictures and strange, unex­ pected objects of furniture, Sorieul called a halt arid said : “I constitute myself general. Let us hold a, coun­ cil of war. You cuirassiers go and cu t off the retrea t of the enemy— th a t is, lock the doori You grena­ diers will be my escort.” I executed the commanded move­ ment, then joined the troop th a t formed the reconnoitering party. 1 was searching behind a great screen, a lighted candle in my hand, when a furious noise burst forth. I darted out to find Le Poittevin had stuck his bayonet into th e b reast of a lay figure, and Sorieul was try ing to cu t off the head with his ax.^ The m istake^being recognized, the general commanded, “Bo more prudent P And again 156 com­ menced operations. For twenty minutes a t least we ransacked every corner ai d crevice of the atelier without success. A t last Ld Poittevin. thought of open­ ing a large closet. I t was dark and deep. 1 th rust in my arm, holding* the light, but 'quickly recoiled. A man— a living, breathing man—was there, looking a t me! I immediately shu t the door and secured’it by two turns of tho key. Then ..wo held a new council o f war. . - :■ Opinions were very much divided, Sorieul wanted to smoko out the robber. Lo Poittevin to take him by famine. I proposed to blow him u p with powderi The advice of Le Poittevin pre­ vailed. ^ While he mounted 3 guard with his gigantic gun We ran off for the remainder of tho punch and Out pipes, when we installed ourselves) before the locked door and d rank to tho health o f tho prisoner, ■ A t the end of ha lf an hour So* riottl said; “All the same, I would like to see hint neater. Suppose WO take him by force?" I cried, “Bravol" Eaoh one dashed to Ms-* arms, The closet door was opened. Sorieul, cocking his pistol, which was no t loaded, was th e m t to Irish in. ^ fal­ lowed, bonding and yelling, f t was an awful' scrimraago in the dark, and a fte r five minutes of frightful struggling we brought out an old, dirty, ragged looking beggar with long white hair. - We bound him hand and foot and proceeded to question hum He would no t answer a word; Then Sorieul, full of dignified drunkenness, said, “We must try th is man ,atu|- pass' sentence upon him.” I was so drunk tho proposi­ tion seemed perfectly natural to me1. Le Poittevin was charged with the defense and I to sustain the accu­ sation. He was condemned to death; only one dissenting voice, th a t of Iris defender. We wore going to ex­ ecute the sentence when a serious scruple came to Sorieul. Ho.said; “This man ought not.lo die without tho consolation of religion. Some one must go for a priest,” ' I objected; said it was,too latoi Then Sorieul proposed th a t I should fill’that -office, and I exhorted the criminal to uriburdeirhis_sins in ter my bosom. . The poor old wretch had been rolling his frightened eyes for about' five minutes, no doubt, wondering, what kind of.madmen'he had fallen into the hands of. You will laugh when I tell you Sorieul forced bun down upon his knees, saying, “Con­ fess to th is gentleman, for thy last hour has come.” ■Hoi-riMy' frightened, th e old scoundrel began to cry, “Help 1 Help!” with such strength and vig­ or we wore forced to gag him for fear ho would arouse the neighbors. Then he rolled over the floor; tu rn ­ ing, twisting, Upsetting tho easels, pictures, canvases, until Sorieul got out of patience and arigrily exclaim­ ed, “Come, let us finish him!" With; th a t he pu t his pistol to the head of the miserable wretch and pulled the trigger. • ' Carried away by Iris example, I fired in -my .tui-ji. My" lnuBkot- was' an old flintlock and sent fo rth a tiny spark, to my great surprise. Then Lo Poittevin said in grave tones, “Have we the righ t lo kill this man?” Sorieul in . great astonishment cried out, “Certainly, when We ha^e condemned him to death!” “But,” continued Le Poittevin, “ they don't shoot civilians. They arc always hnnged; We must inke tliis ono to the police station.” This argument appeared, conclu­ sive. .... .. Wo picked up the old fellow—he would not walk n stop—bound him securely to a plank taken from tho model table and carried him, Lo Poittevin at tho head, I p t .the foot, while Sorieul, armed to the teeth, closed the line of march. When' we reached the station house, the sentinel aricsted us. Tho chief of police was sent for. He - knew us well, nearly every day wit­ nessing some- of our jokes, pranks and unheard of capers. He refused to receive our prisoner. Sorieul insisted. Then tho offi­ cer severely invited us to return home and make ito more noise. The troop again took up the line of march and returned to the ate­ lier. • , “What are wo going to do with this old robber?” 1 naked.’ Le Poittevin, touched with ten­ der pity, declared he looked terri­ bly exhausted. Truly tho old fel­ low had an agonizing appearance, gagged, tied hand and foot and se­ curely bound to his plank. I was taken in my tu rn with vio­ lent pity. I took off his gag and said, “Well, my poor old man, how do you feel now?” He groaned, “I n the name p f God,~Pvo had enough!” Then Sorieul became affection­ ately paternal. He untied him, placed him in an armchair, fondled him, called Iiinl “ thee” and “ thou,” and to comfort him We all three ran off to make him a fresh punch. The bid scamp, tranquilly seated in his armchair, coolly regarded us. When the punch was ready, we touched glasses with him, wishing him long life tmd prosperity. Our prisoner drank as much as a regiment, and when daylight ap­ peared he got up and said,, “I am sorry to' leave you, gentlemen, bu t Xmust fo ." Wo Were desolate, heartbroken, begged him to stay, h u t ho Would remain no longer. Then wo follow­ ed lum to the door and shook hands With him* Sorieul lighted him through the vestibule and called ou t: “Take care, my old friend ; there's a had stop there! Don't fall I" A hearty laugh followed th is r i­ diculous story of tho old artist* li, * .................. :oi '■Tim aroueSt pars 01 my story, gentlemen, is this: Every word of Itisfcrusl," 7 - m m of the COURT »*COMMON PLEAS, Lucas County, OHIO; rendered Nov. 14,1901, which is now the law of Ohio: *» . . > « “ I am clearly of the opinion that Ariosa is -within the-proviso of the statute, and that it _ is not unlawful to manufacture and sell it/* i f t / “We guarantee our ‘Ariosa’ arid 'Rio* brands of Coffee to be a pure food, sound and healthful in every respect, pre­ pared arid marketed in strict conformity to the laws of Dhio; facts which we will maintain, at our expense, in any suit which the Commissioner may bring against us or any merchant selling the brands In question.
