Another per son had his {date by the side of mine, young Anatole Bru haut. principal clerk of the manufactory, the future partner and son-in-law of Dutailly. This quiet, serious and somewhat diffident young C m was very much in love with tho nghter of his {nitron, and Mile. Ger trude was not insensible to his affection. Without having exchanged a word, tuo attention* of Brichant were received with favor by the Dutuillya, and tho union of the two young people was tacit ly agreed upon; but unfortunately the war postponed the event. Brichant, a corjiural in the corps, moved to the Seine and barracks of St. Penis, did his duty as a soldier consci entiously, as he did everything else, but without enthusiasm; it must be con fessed he execrated this siege, which postponed his happiness, .and ’mildly criticised tho Operations with a littlo fitter feeling. These criticisms did not fail to Irritate Duttrilly, who was a fol lower of General Trochu. There was something else; The Times just at that time published a series of articles whoso author reconstructed the military opera tions of the province according to his Own fancy. Dutailly had taken these fancies as matters of fact. Ho placed his little flags on tlie chart, at tho points decided tjpon by (he strategist of The Times, followed With anxiety the fictitious marches And counter marches, and pre dicted after a brief delay decided vic- fbries for us. Bricliaht, incredulous, of fered a timid objection. Dutailly was excited and angry, f interrupted to stop the discussion, but the host at the Tiottom of his heart was not 6onsoled for gll the battles his clerk prevented him ftom gaining. „■ # . * The presence of a new guest compli cated the matter still more. 1 was sur prised one evening arriving late to find fiiy place at the right of Mine. Dutailly occupied by a red faced, broad shoul dered and boastful stranger. He wore tpe epaulettes of a captain on his fan tastic uniform—the cast off clothing of some theater—and w\ts shod with enor mous boots, in which it w as impossible -for me to recognize a hero. * ,-“11.
