The Three Pellets of Broad.
I
run FIRST runner.
In 1824, towards the end of Octobci',‘tc_-n
young men were concluding a rcpast at one
of the tables at the Cafe dc Paris. The suc-
culent dishes had been apparently Well nea-
soncd with wine, for all their faces were illn<
time.
Nor was it surprising that the meeting had
been a jovial one. The ampliitryon—George
Benicr by name—only the other day sub-
lientciiant. in the 5th Regiment ot Dragoons,
hail unexpectedly inherited a fortune estima-
ted at six bundled thousand francs? Birely
a iiionlli had elapsed since be but received,
whilst serving in Spain, the news of the
death of an uncle, who had left biiii lll'll' to
the accumulatiom of an industrious and well
spent life. He lriil obtained leave Ofabscnce,
and hail hurried off to the capital to realize
his feitnne. He had also invited what few
friends—chiefly college chums—lie had in
Paris, to participate in his happiness. lie
had nine—in a day or tWO he would have
fifty. A man with a well-lined pocket has
always plenty Of friends.
The banquet held in honor of this sudden
accession of funds was coming to a conclu-
sion,—tliat is to say, the party were at their
lastbottlc of champalgnc. Awaiting coffee,
every one was laughing, talking, or gesticu-
lilting, without concerning himself about lis-
tening or being listened to. The host, who
was more animated even than the others,
probably because, in his quality of best, he
had deemed it necessary to set a good exam-
ple, was endeavoring to get a word in con-
cerning his feats of valor on the Peninsula;
cxpatiating upon the assault of the Trocade-
m on the 3lst of August, 1823, and the dc-
livery of Ferdinand VII from the hands of
the Cortes; but every one was to happy to
listen to details. ~
In the meantime, coffee had been brought
in. The young man—George Bcnier was in
his twenty-first year—was lifting his cup to
his lips, when he suddenly put. it down again
Willi an ex clamation of surprise and disgust.
“ Garcon l" he shouted, in a voice that
made the whole establishment start, “ take
this cup away at once." .
. And as he said this, he pointed to two files
that had been stupid enough to take a bath
in the hot fluid,—-a bath which had cost them
their lives. One of the garcons took away
the cup, Whilst another busied himself in
repairing the disaster. The guests were
laughing heartily at the discmiifiturc of the
lieutenant Of dragoons.
"Ahl alii" said one, “ George is afraid of
a fly 1”
But Prosper Dyonnct, a college chum, iii-
tcrposcd; “ Don’t‘you remember ?—he used
to kill them by hundreds; his conscience
troubles him, and the sight. awakens his rc-
morse. '
The interpcllation excited renewed laugh-
ter, in which George joined heartily.
“True,” be said, “gentlemen, I always had
a horror for files, and I became so skillful by
(lint of practice in killing them with pellets
of bread, that I got the surname of ‘Tucur do
mouclies.’ I have not lost my skill yet. I can
tell you; but if 1 assassinate flies, that is no
reason why I should swallow them.”
“Well said," observed one of the guests;
and 'with after dinner thoughtfulness, and
the love of fun natural to youth, he proposed
that George should give them proof that he
was still entitled to what he was pleased to
designate as a glorious title to distinction.
To this effect a roll of bread was taken
from a table close by. George Benier, as
serious as it be Were about to solve a prob-
lem in mathematics, broke it, took out the
crumb and began to prepare his ammunition.
Having made three pellets, he held them out
in his open hand.
I “Now,” he said, “Who‘ll bet tiiatI don’t.
kill a fly with each shot )" ,
“We’ll all bet," shouted the guests. “What
shall it be? A monster punch.”
“Good; but what distance will you allow
me ‘9"
“We leave that to you,—a pellet of bread
is not precisely a conical ball.” '
In the interval, a man, apparently above
fifty years of age, Wiili gray mnstachcs and
coat buttoned np,——evidently an old soldier,
—had come into the cafe. Ordering a cup
of chocolate, he had taken up a newspaper,
and was reading as he waited his refresh-
ment. The room was crowded with flies,halt
slupcfied by the approach of winter, iid
George Bcuier observed that three had set-
tled upon the new conicr,-—one on his arm,
another on his neck, and a third had the ini-
pudencc actually to alight on the very hand
that held the paper. The guests watched
'the direction Whica George’s eye had taken
and the same malicious idea occurred
at the same moment to all their excited
brains. This idea was mutually exchanged
by beds and smiles and intelligent glances,
but not formulated into words. That would
have spoilt the fun. George, encouraged by
these looks of approbation, made his prepar-
ations for the ceininission'ot a grevions act
of folly. ,
Placing one of the pellets on his thumb,
and holding it there by the medium finger
curved into a how, so as to act as a-Spring,
he took aim at. tlioiight hand of the man
with the grey monstaches. It must be said
to his credit, however, that he hesitated for:
moment, a ray of sense ~flashed across his
mind, and he turned round to look at his
friends. But all he saw there was encour-
agement by nods, and winks and smiles. It
was such fun. Alas! how many a foolish
thing is done under the absurd impression
that there is something funny in it.
George’s thnnib went off; the pellet was
shot forth, and killed the fly that lay on the
Officer’s hand.
“Superb!" ejaculated his friends, but in
subdued tones not to interfere with the pio-
grcss of their rich friend’s experiments. ,
As to the veteran, he never moved, but.
continued to read his paper as if nothing
had happened. Encouraged by his success,
and excited by the applause of his friends, as
'also by the attention of other spectators who
had been attracted to what was going on,
George Benier look aim at the shoulder, and
the second fly fell a victim to his skill. After
this there was no receding. The man in
the buttoned-up .coat persisted in ignoring
the insults put upon his person; there was
only one fly more to hi i to inaugurate the
monster punch, and tli tfly was stretching
out his fore feet not many inches below the
formidable gray nionstachcs. Oil went the
third pellet, and the intrusive inscctlell dead.
The experiment concluded, there was no
longer any cause for silence, and all the
guests united in shouting, “Vive le 'l‘uenr tie
inouchcs l"
But whilst they were thus jubilant and tri-
umphant, the man in thc buttonedatp coat
had slowly risen, and stooping he deliberate-
ly picked up the three pellets of bread, which
done, he walked over, quite calmly, to where
George'sat with his friends. The laughter
now suddenly ceased, and the attention of
the other spectators became l)rcalhless.-~
Strangers, as well as l'ricndsotlthe “’l‘uenr
dc inouchcs," knew that matters could not
stop there. A pin might have been heard to
fall in the whole cafe.
The man with the gray moustches saluted
the company. ’ he Salutation Was respect-
fully returned by George and his guests—-
Gcorge was a little p do, but calm. The
veteran, extended his hand, in the palm o
which were the three pclii-tsot‘ bread, was
about to speak. But George, who would not
allow, even for halfa second, that it should
be supposed that. he would leave the :3me
sibility on any one but himself, anticipated
him.
“It was I, sir; I shot those peileti."
The unknown bowed again.
“That is suflicwnt, sir.”
So saying he quietly unbuitoncd his coat,
and drew forth a card from his waistcoat
pocket.
“Monsieur,” said he, “will be good cnough
to show me that he is as skillful \viih a sword
as he is with a pellet of Meat .”
Upon the stranger‘s card was graven:

also that George had had a few glasses of
champagneitoo many, and he forgave him.
Prosper, besides, knew Paris intimately, and
not only assisted him in procuring a carriage
and heiscs, but also introduced him to the
world.
II
THE SECOND FELLET.
During the carnival of 1825, George Be-
nier made the acquaintance, at an opera
ball, of a lady who was much Sought afferat
that period, and who was known as the
Baroness Of Behnontc. We say known, for
she was no more a baroncss than her moth-
er, who sold artichokes in 'wintcr and
oranges in summer. Despite her humble
‘origin, the baroness. howuwr, was beautiful
and clever, and she managed to captivate
this young man. lie could not sleep at
night and spentthe day in deploring to his
friend Prosper Dyoniiet the cruelty of the
fair one. Not that the baroness objected to
the young man’s attention, but she knew
her interests to well to succonib at once.
Three weeks had passed in walks and tlliVCS,
the lady had accepted both caslnuei'cs and
diamonds, but yet had giVL-ii no sigiisol a re-
ciprocal affection. George began to Weary
of laying siege to so imprcguable a place;
scenes of rccriininaiion occurred, till the la-
dy, fearing she might lose llt'l' lover, showed
some symptoms of i‘clciitiiig.
George was walking arm in arm with his
friend Prosper on the Boulevards; he was
in high spirits; visions of happiness were
before him which he did not fail to confide
to his bosom friend, and they agreed to cele-
brate the happy turn in events by a i‘t'pllSi. at
the Cafe Anglais. They had just reached
the threshold, and George was about to step
in, when a hand was pl iced on his. shoulder,
and a voice interposed,—
“I beg your pardon, air. A Word if you
please." , .
George turned round in anger. The
voice \vss well knowu——very iiupleasantly
so—-and he and his friend Prosper recogniz-
ed the nian of the Cafe dc Paris, the man
with the gray moustachcs and buttoned-up
coat,——Cuptain Itodet l Boil: were discon-
certcd.—the meeting was not agreeablc,———
but the young either of d-ragoons, quickly
recovering himself, inquired in a haughty
tone, What the veteran wanted with him.
“Very little, sir," replied the bitter in a
tone of exquisite politeness. “i wish to rc-
turn this to you, and at the same time loin
nouncc to you that, now you are so perfect-
ly recovcrd I will put itin your plIWf‘I' to re-
ceive a portion of the i'cinainder."
George had mechanically opened the pa‘
per handed to him by the captain. It con-
tained a pcllctofbrcad.
“Monsieur l" he Stiltl,—-fl.lltl he was about
to add, “I thought that a. meeting, followed
by a severe wound, was sntlicieut punish-
ment for an act Of thoughtlcssurss ; but
there was something so austere and implac-
able in the veteran’s. looks that. the words
stuck in his throat. But Prosper had not
the same reason as his friend for declining to
reason upon the matter.
“Monsicu r,” be said, addressing the captain
“unless you are impelled by motives of. pei-
sonul hostility, I cannot understand what iii-
tercst you can have in exacting another
meeting on the part of M. George Benin;
The insult was slight, you must admit, and
is not your honor satisfied by the blUilzl ai-
readyopilt ‘3"
Butthe vettrau never waverid in the in-‘
flexible cxprcssmn which he had assumed,
and, with eyes fixed on George, he : railed
an answer without vciiclisafing a I'Cjiy to
Prosper.
“Captain,” said the former, seeing there
was no alternative, “I do not accept the
words pronounced by my friend. I am
ready to meet you where and when you like,
and we will fight. as much as you like.”
“To-niori'ow morning—the same place
and the same hour as before," replied the
captain, who had resumed his most uftabie
manner.
“80 it so," replied George Heneir.
Poor George ! his skill in killing flies with
pellets of bread was destined to entail a rnst
amount ofiniscry. On the occasion of his sec-
ond encounter, anger and hatred of his riv:il
imparted double strength to his thrusts,
But it; was in vain : the velcrun pairied

came exhausted by his t'lltll‘ls and exaspera-
tion,and at lenght fell on the gi'eciisw::i'd,-——

To add to his horror, as he lay farming
from loss Ofblood, he heard the Old soldier
s:iy,“i\dicu, till we meet again !" _
This time George i'cin iiiiml three months
in bed, and another mouth in his arm—chair.
During these long days of sutl'cr'ii‘ . id dc-
bility, friendship :zlnne remained in iiil to
the poor patient. Lovi- had taiu-n its flight.

—-was allowed to speak, Prosper loll. l!l('llll~

He had dismissed from his mind
all thoughts ol'bis formidable creditor, who,
possessed of a miserable pellet. of bread iii-
stead of a dishonored bill, had made an ex-
ofllcer ofdrngoons take flight to other realms.
IL was'at this epoch that his hiend Prosper
rcceivcd a long letter from him. It was da—
tchth of September, lS‘25. Naples. Refer-
ring,r to previous cominnnieations, George rc-
minded his friend that he had mentionc—ii to
him his having met a young person walking
with her mother (in the Monte Ulivclto, with
whom iic had been very lllllClI smitten ; that
he had ascm‘taincd through his friend Count
l’opoli that the ladies were French, 1. Hit the
mother’s name was Madame Casiilion, that
she was a Widow, and wealthy; that the
daughter’s name was Blanche, that she was
seventeen years Ofagc, and pretty enough to
put. into a frame. \‘v’cll, since he had made
thii eoniuiuuicalion he had been introduced
to the pirlies, acquaintance hat‘i ripi-ucd into
:itleciitui,_:iiid in a month‘s time he was to
be married at the church of $111 Ilmncnico. ,

he s-iiil, be and llyonuct might travel to-

George was scaled behind his betrothed ill
a box at the theatre of San Gallo. The our:
lain liadjnst fallen upon the second act. of
an opera at l’iccin' George was muttering
some words in lllancac's cai which made her
smile. Madame Castilion, like a good niolh—

George might talk and Blanche might suiilc
Suddenly George, whose eyes were won
during lllflt'lttllllcdlly towards the stalls, stop-
ped in the middle of" a. phrase. He turned
palc,.aud a groan that. almost resembled the
rattle of a moribund, escaped from his chest.
The two ladies, sui'pi‘isi-il and ici'rit‘ii-d, turn-
(ril towards him.
“Fai’ewi-ll l farewell !“ he cxclaiincd.
And hurrying to the door of the box he
threw himself into the cm‘ridor, and thence
aincd the square of San Carlo.
“Where is my carriage ?
Whip, coachinan, whip !”
“Where is inonsicur going to ‘3"
“Where am I going? Where you like.
Right before you, ifyou like it,-—-only start.”
Without replying, the driver mounted his
box, and when the horses, worn out with
the speed :it which they were driven, came
to a. dead stop, (irorge was t-igbt leagues
from Naples. '
“What is the matter 2’“ said George, pnl-
ting his head out of the window. “Why
don’t we go on, John 2‘"
“Because nionsicur‘s horses cannot go any
farther," replied John.
George jumped out, and, after some loss
of time, it was ascertained that a village and
post-house were close by, and thither he
liastcnci'.l.. ’l‘lnei‘c happened at the very nio—
