I interrupted him: “I do not ueed nuy

He looked at me and cried: * i hope you

how he poIntfNl me wit to two officials,

aut Into the park, with bowed head and
elenebod bands.
I felt that I waa being watched nj I went
toward a group of rhododeudrous lu a *
corner of the park, which was an i
place to commit suicide.
Two shots rang out and I fell heavily to
thd ground. I closed my eyes and held my
breath. I heard voices and felt souicliody
bending over me. "Yes, it Is him."
"And hit twice. He did not want to take
any chance*."
"Hurry, hury, somebody might come. The
scoundrel, that he could not do It some
where else."
1 felt something being put Into my Inside
pocket.
"Curse It, those fellows cost u« a lot of
money."
I could not hold my breath any longer,
■o I drew a deep sigh, opened my eyes,

picked up ray hat and my still smoklug
revolver. The crowd which had gathered
looked at me lu surprise.
"It It disgusting," I exclaimed. "One can

The official who came knew me, came
rushing up to me nnd said furiously. "Sir,
how dare you? ! am going to have you
arrested for disturbing the peace."
"Disturbing tbe peace," I replied, sar
castically. "Keep your bon. mots for your-

And I walked away langhlng at hit em
barrassment.
Returning to my hotel, I paid my debt
out of the three thousand franca I had
msde by committing suicide.
Tho Casino made repeated attempts to
make mo return the money, which, of
course, I could not think of. I do not
think three thousand francs Is too much
for an attempted suicide. I spent a couple
of delightful days and returned to Paris.
