Guy went first to the Louvre. As many people were going in and out, no question was asked him, and on reaching the entrance he inquired of some varlets standing there for the lodgings of the Lord de Roubaix and Sir John Rembault. "I am in the service of the Lord de Roubaix; what would you with him?" "I am charged with a message for him; I was told to deliver it only to himself."

Roubaix has been endowed by the State with a handsome museum, library, technical and art school, the latter for young men only. These may belong to any nationality, and obtain their professional or artistic training free of charge. The exhibition of students' work sufficiently proclaims the excellence of the teaching.

All these refugees pouring down from the north could not be silenced, though none of their tales appeared in print. They came with the news that Lille was invested, that the German tide was rolling upon Armentieres, Roubaix, Tourcoing and Cambrai, that the French and English were in hard retreat.

Our companionship lasted several months, until I was obliged to journey North. But the same cordial relations continued to subsist between us for more than a quarter of a century, when Death robbed me of my friend. Georges Noufflard was the son of a rich cloth manufacturer at Roubaix, and at an early age had come into possession of a considerable fortune.

Why, in Heaven's name, are you always so frightened?" "That's all very well. It's jolly dangerous, let me tell you." "Dangerous!" repeated Vagualame contemptuously. "Absurd! You are joking! It's dangerous for imbeciles not for anyone else! Not a soul would ever suspect that pretty Nichoune is the 'letter-box' the intermediary between me and 'Roubaix."

And that sent Reggie back to the day when he had first seen Jimmy. "Look here, old man, what made you say you were an arrant coward?" "Because," said Jimmy simply, "I am one. Dear old Roubaix was talking through his hat. "Not know what fear is! I know a good many things, but I don't know anything better than that. You can't tell me anything about fear I don't know.

The same month, at Monceau-les-Mines and in Paris, great demonstrations of the "unemployed" took place in the streets, combined with robbery and dynamite outrages, while in July there were sanguinary encounters with the armed forces in Roubaix and elsewhere. These are but a few instances of the activity of the anarchists at the end of the seventies and at the beginning of the eighties.

On one of these cold, windy days I went with Lille friends to Roubaix, as cold and windy a town, I should say, as any in France. A preliminary word or two must be said about Roubaix, the city of strikes, pre-eminently the Socialist city. City we may indeed call it, and it is one of rapidly increasing dimensions. In the beginning of the century Roubaix numbered 8000 souls only.

Viola sat on the one chair and Jimmy and I on the bed. Jimmy did most of the talking. He said, "Look here, my dear child, if there wasn't a war on, I wouldn't stand in the way of your amusement for the world. And there's a great deal to be said for you. I think you adorable in a tunic and breeches, and General Roubaix agrees with me, if Furny doesn't.

"You are going to give me something for Roubaix again?" Nichoune did not look as if Vagualame's assertion had relieved her fears. Vagualame evaded a direct answer. "You have not seen him for a week?" "Roubaix? No."... "And Nancy?" "Nor Nancy." "Well," said he, after a moment's reflection, "that does not matter in the least!
