Duma and the Cabman. My ' father had inherited from my grandfather remarkable strength, of which I had the first experience when 1 was 14 or 15 years of age. One Sunday ho had taken me to the Gymnase. At tho end of the play it rained in torrents, lie moved toward a Gacre stationed on tho boulevard and signaled me to follow him. He gave an nddress to the cabby, who stood upright beside his vehicle, into which wo prepared to mount. The coachman put his hand on the door, saying: say-ing: "I don't move a step for less this time than fivo francs for the iourney." "Will you not move "No." "Once, twice, thrice, Cabby did not respond, but remained with his hand on tho door. Then my father seized him round the wah-t. Lifted him up from tiie 1 ground, and planting him on tho Beat said, "Go now." Then taking hia place ; In tho cab, he said: "Bear in mind always I how 10 do with an obsUnato coachman." I I havo not forgotten tho procedure, but I ! havo never put it in practice not Uiat cabmen havo become more civil, but Uiat othtr things are dulcrent. laiandu Dumas ti 1,
