FRENCH SMUGGLER'S HAUNT.
The Story of the Billiard Table.
BENEFIT THE WICKED.
Paris, July 11
In a remote part of France, so far off the beaten track that not) once in a blue moon (as the saying is) does a stranger visit it, there is a tiny coast village, where none play billiards. True, a table is to be found in a tumble-down old cafe; but no one uses it. Not for many years, in fact, has it been played on, while five decades have passed with- out the house having been occupied. For the building is said to be haunted, and the rustics decline to enter it after dark. As to having the table overhauled and put in playing order, they would as soon face Satan.
During the late 'sixties, the in- habitants were much given to smuggling, the proprietor of the combined ale-house and billiard- saloon furthering their nefarious schemes. They met in the bar of an evening, ostensibly to drink each other's health and to knock the balls about, But the business of handling brandy, lace, cigars and other contraband was considered more important than the game, which few took seriously. They certainly played and badly, judging from a mouldy old book in which trifling breaks were entered.
Smuggling affairs, however, had the players' attention, more than billiards.

The Landlord was Killed. In 1867 these activities came to a sudden and tragic end. One night, while two of the bold smugglers ceased playing, to settle when the next cargo should be put aboard, the premises were rushed by the cus toms officials, led by an intrepid officer, his men, armed with cut- lasses, bringing up the rear. The rascals, believing that the landlord had turned informer, and doubtless, having no time to verify their sus picions, promptly fell upon the un- fortunate man, kicking him to death and knocking out his brains with their hobnailed boots. The customs mon lald about them and, when order was restored, the nearest police atation housed twelve blood-
