On weighing these facts I foresaw that I should find it a difficult task to gain those favours which she had granted to Coudert; her repentance had been too bitter for her to expose herself to the same danger over again. The peasant woman returned, laid the table for two, and brought us our supper.
The country-woman told me that in a few days I should be just the same as if I had never seen Coudert." "That is not quite true; how about your stomach, for instance?" "Be quiet; you can't know anything about such things, and I am quite astonished myself." "Let me see." "Oh, no; you mustn't see, but you may feel." "All right." "Oh! please don't go there." "Why not?
"What's that?" he said, stopping short. Madame Coudert, his Mother, and Pierrette, all stood perfectly still, their eyes wide, their lips parted, listening, listening! They heard cannon-shots, then music toward the west coming nearer nearer. "It is oh, it is the Marseillaise!" shrieked Pierrette. Mother Meraut and the Twins ran toward the sound.
They must be held where they could be handled. Coincident with the call of the Archbishop came Captain Coudert, of the distinguished family of that name in New York, and his grace was deeply interested in that young man and warmly expressed his gratification in meeting an American officer of his own faith. The Archbishop is a man of a high order of capacity, and his influence has been great.
Congress, including the great body of the Republicans, supported him; the people at large stood by him; and, as a result, a commission to determine the boundary was appointed and began its work in Washington, the commissioners being, in the order named by the President, David J. Brewer of Kansas, a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States; Chief Justice Alvey of the District of Columbia; Andrew D. White of New York; F. R.

There is a small but powerful oeuvre in Paris, composed with one exception of Americans devoted to the cause of France. It was founded by its treasurer, Mr. Frederic Coudert. Mr. August Jaccaci, of New York, is President; Mrs. Cooper Hewett, Honorary President; Mrs. Robert Bliss, Vice-President; and the Committee consists of the Comtesse de Viel Castel, Mrs. Francis G.

"You may take one look at your Father and throw him a kiss; then you must go back to Madame Coudert." "Mayn't we stay with you and help take care of Father?" begged Pierre. "No," answered his Mother firmly, "the sights here are not for young eyes.
His Mother instantly collared Pierre, and led him up a side street just in time to escape the clutches of a German officer who had seen him a block away, and came on the run after him. When, puffing and blowing, he at last reached the shop there was no one in sight except Madame Coudert behind her counter. The enraged officer pointed out the insult that had been offered his country.
Madame Coudert looked surprised and concerned. She followed the officer to the door, and gazed at the disfigured poster. "I will clean it at once," she said obligingly.
