CHANGED THE STORY.
Hugo Got It Well Turned Around by
the “hird Time He Told It.
Right after Napoleon lll.'s coup
d’etat Victor Hugo and Schoelcher,
a well known politician of that peri
od, fled together from Paris. A
siort time afterward, when Hugo
met Schoelcher at his table in Brus
sels, the poet said: “Yes, my dear
friend, you can boast of having once
acared me very much. 1 had no
doubt that we were done for.”
Turning to the other guests, he ex
plained:
“We were on the way to the
Northern railroad depot and were
sitting silent and uncasy in the om
nibus, our hats drawn deep over our
foreheads.” Presently a regiment of
infantry passed by with flying colors
and resounding music. At the sight
Schoelcher forgot all caution and,
leaning out of the window, shouted,
‘Down_ with Caesar!’ Instantly I
caught hold of him and closed his
mouth with my hand. One word
more and we should have been done
for.”
Two years later Schoelcher visit
ed his friend Hugo in‘Guernsey. At
dinner again the coup d’etat was
discussed, and the poet called forth
recollections of times past. “Do you
still recollect, Schoeicher,” he ask
ed, “the day of our flight? We real
ly came of very luckv. But didn’t
we act like madmen, shouting ‘Down
with Caesar!” when that regiment
was passing by? Of course we were
too indignant to be able to keep
our temper.”
Several years lapsed, and again
Schoelcher was a guest in Hugo’s
house. Conversation turned to civie
courage and the like. “Well, my
dear Schoelcher,” Hugo said to his
friend, “I must tell you something
I have had in my heart for years.
In a critical moment of your life
you showed a weakness which griev
ed me deeply. You will recollect
that day when we, after the coup
d’etat, left Paris and how I, while a
regiment of infantry was passing
by, at the sight of these killers of
our fiberty and in a rage, having no
command ever myself, shouted out,
‘Down with Caesar!” I still have
you before my eyes trembling with
fear, catching hold of me by the
lapel of my coat and forcing me
down om the seat, so concerned you
were for your precious life.”
