‘You wish to see a colored fellow of the name Jules Pe-
terson?’
‘God! How did he find me?’
‘I didn’t tell him you were present.’
‘Who did?’ Abe fell over his glasses but recovered him-

‘Says he’s already been around to all the American bars

‘Tell him I’m not here—‘ As the chasseur turned away
Abe asked: ‘Can he come in here?’
‘I’ll find out.’
Receiving the question Paul glanced over his shoulder;
he shook his head, then seeing Abe he came over.
‘I’m sorry; I can’t allow it.’
Abe got himself up with an effort and went out to the
Rue Cambon.
