I L.bea Blackburn when be went to Puris wub recognized by every one us a typical American of that class whose motto Is, "Every tub on Its own bottom.' Be not ouly considered ev ery oue beneath Iilin. but every oue above him, his equal. No spirit of ar rogance prompted him lo set himself up above the former, nor did nuy false modesty lend him to shun the latter, He was as free with the one as with the other. The result was that he was popular with nil. tsiiicKuurn iiuu risen in bis own coutitry frompeddlliig farmers house bold necessities in a big red wagon to managing director In a large 'manu facturing company. At thirty-Are he bud made money enough to enable hlni to see the world, and he saw it. He liked Paris and stayed there long enough to learn to converse, after a fashion. In the French language, and became interested In French society. Not being afraid of appearing at a disadvantage among the better classes. be walked in among them as if no one lind a better right and remained there because they rather liked hi in. "What charming effrontery!" they exclaimed. what droll humor: No one but an American could thus disregard our con ventionalities and be tolerated among us." But one niorulng Blackburn left Paris, followed by the maledictions of a select circle of French men and women who had takeu him up t lint is, he would have been thus followed had they known where be bad gone. There were others, who knew the cause of the reversnl of feeling toward bira, me corners or wnose lips curved in a polite satirical French smile... This Is the way It came about: Blackburn gave a dinner to the set who had discovered in him such pi quant American traits. . Some evil minded persons hinted that the reason they fancied lilm was Ills dinners nnd his theater parties, but this uever came to the ears of any of the circle. The French are too polite lo Impugn auy one's motives to one's face. Blnckburu had discovered In Paris an Amerieau scientist whom he had long before hired to make some Investigations for him In a process of manufacture and Invited him to the dinner. The scien tist tried to beg off on the plea that he had no evening dress. Blackburn Insisted, and the guest appeared In a pepper and salt suit. Not even French politeness could keep the company from turning a cold shoulder to the scientist. The poor man endured the trentnient till It be came unbearable, then excused him self. For a few minutes after his de parture there was nn embarrassing silence, when Blackburn Raid: "In passing your lintel de Vllle to day I noticed the Inscription. 'Liberty. Equnllty and Fraternity. You talk of equality In France, but you don't know the word's mooning. In America we don't try to tackle any one of these words except liberty. 'We never prate about equnllty. lint we don't Judge a man by his clothes." Having thus expressed himself, the liost turned the topic of conversation and. Instead of permitting them to fall luto a bad humor with him. kept them well entertained nnd Invited them to another dinner to be plven two weeks hence, when he promised to present a friend whom he was sure they would like. All accepted, and the party broke up with much gnyety. When a fortnight bird pnssed'they re assembled' to admire, the American's originality, eat his viands aud drink his wines. .He presented to them M. de rierres, a Frenchman like them selves, who was faultlessly dressed, whose hair had been treated with curl ing tongs and whose mustache was carefully waxed. M. de rierres was not a communicative man Indeed, his conversation was confined to "yes" and 'no." But sluce his dress indicated that he was a gentleman he was treat ed by the other guests with scrupulous politeness. , The only time during the dinner that M. de Plerres used any words. excepting such as were monosyllables. was when the conversation turned up on soldiers meeting death on the field of battle.' "That is not meeting death at all." said he. "It Is bring over taken by death and cut down without realizing Its pretterice. It Is another mutter when one's ending has beeu ppolnted lo take place at a certain hour, of which he Is cognizant, or when he Is awakened at midnight from sleep and led to meet the antagonist whom he knows shall vanquish hi mi."
