“The papers have been printing an
incident of the ex-Empress which
happened in Paris as she was taking
her walk abroad Just the other day.
She was accosted by a beggar, Into
whose hand she dropped a coin, and
passed on. The beggar was at once
arrested for breaking the law against
soliciting alms on the streets. See
ing the unfortunate man's predica
ment, the Empress faced about and
warned the policemen away with her
cane.
“ 'Leave the old man alone,’ she
exclaimed imperiously; ‘I owed him a
sum of money, which I have just re
paid him.'
“There was no doubting the tone
and manner of the Empress and the
officer of the Third Republic fled
gallantly before the Sovereign of the
Second Empire.
