M. Orfila, sure about the grocer of the Rue de la Paix, was defeated by M. Barruel. M. Orfila, sure about the death of Charles Lafarge, is declared by to-day's experts in criminal jurisprudence and pathology to have been talking through his hat. According to the present experts, says ``Philip Curtin, Lafarge was not poisoned at all, but died a natural death.
Lafarge has ventured to acclaim him; and just as Shakspere is unsurpassed as a poet and also as a playwright, just as Cicero takes a foremost place as an orator and also as a writer of prose, so Michelangelo is mighty as a sculptor, as an architect, and as a painter. As a painter he has more rivals than as a sculptor.
She laughed. "See," he added; "give me a chance. Let me search the Ninety-Nine for contraband, that's all I've got to do with, and then I can keep quiet about the rest. If there's no contraband, whatever else there is, I'll hold my tongue." "I've told you what there is." He did not understand. "Will you let me search?" Joan's eyes flashed. "Once and for all, no, Orvay Lafarge.
You must make your choice once for all now." Lafarge stood a moment thinking. "Joan, I'll do it. I'd go hunting in hell at your bidding. But see. Everything's changed. I couldn't fight against you, but I can fight for you. All must be open now. You've said there's no contraband. Well, I'll tell Mr. Martin so, but I'll tell him also that you've only a crew of two " "Of three, now!" "Of three!
"That sounds like a charade or a puzzle game. We are gentlemen on a serious errand, aren't we?" "Yes," answered Lafarge, "perfect gentlemen on a perfectly serious errand!" "Very well, m'sieu'. Have you come to surrender?"
"So droll, so droll, our Tarboe there!" they shouted, for already they began to look upon him as their Seigneur. In time the cure forgave him also. Tarboe seldom left Isle of Days, save when he went to visit his daughter, in St. Louis Street, Quebec, not far from the Parliament House, where Orvay Lafarge is a member of the Ministry.
If his superiors had known that Loco Bissonnette, Tarboe's jovial lieutenant, had carried the keg of brandy into the house in a water-pail, not fifteen feet from where Lafarge sat with Joan, they might have asked for his resignation.
Envy jeers in vain; your Muse is French; better still, it is Christian, and the laurel at the end of your course has two crowns one for the forehead of the poet and the other for the heart of the man. Grand actions bring glory; good deeds bring happiness." Although Jasmin wrote an interesting letter to Madame Lafarge, he did not venture to sing or recite for her relief from prison.
He could get over first, for the Ninety-Nine would not have the wind so much in her favour, and there entrench himself; for even yet Bissonnette amply multiplied was in his mind Lafarge had not explained that away.
Orvay Lafarge did when he got the word, was to go straight to his hat-peg, then leave the office, walk to the little club where he spent leisure hours, called office hours by people who wished to be precise as well as suggestive, sit down, and raise a glass to his lips. After which he threw himself back in his chair and said: "Well, I'm particularly damned!"
