Serio-Comic Drama Witnessed by a Crowd on a bridge. One of the funniest episodes ever witnessed by the public delighted the. passers-by on the Louis Philippe bridge at Paris the other day, says the New York Journal. About 4 oclock in the afternoon a wild-eyed man, apparently close to 30 years of age, stopped in the middle of the bridge. There, with his elbows resting on the parapet, he paused and remained for some time looking fixedly in the direction of the Quai de lHotel de Ville, where a handsome young woman leaned from a fourth-story window, with her eyes resting upon him.

Their glances met. Then each waved the other a kiss of adieu. A second later the young man threw one leg over tho parapet of the bridge, apparently on the point of casting himself into the muddy waters of the Seine below. People rushed forward to stop him. But they paused when they saw him hesitate, still gazing at the fourth-story window on the opposite" bank, where stood the pretty young woman.

With its instinctive passion for a dramatic scene the Parisian crowd held back and watched breathlessly tho outcome of the little drama which it felt sure was to be played out before its eyes and which all resolved they would see finished without an attempt to retard its progress. At the same moment tho young man threw his leg over the parapet the young woman put hers and it was a plump and daintily rtockinged one out over the window ledge. There was no doubt that if ho threw himself into the river she would cast herself down upon the paving ones in the street fifty feet below. A hurried whisper of surmise ran through the breathless crowd. "Shes a friend or wife, and theyve had a quarrel-probably a good many.

Hes sworn to Kill himself and she's repentant and vows he shall not, for her action shows she would rather die than live without him. Its a good and original scene. Thereupon many people in the crowd took out pencil and paper and began to make notes, for probably nine Frenchmen out of ten believe they are born dramatists and carry about in their heads or in their pockets the plots of several plays. The man on the bridge let his leg hang over the rail a moment and then drew it back. The woman did the same with hers.

An instant later tho man again started to climb over the parapet and. the woman immediately balanced herself with one leg far over the edge of the window sill. "Adieu, Ernestine!" cried the man. "If you throw' yourself in the water. Gustave," cried the woman.

"I will fling mjself out of the window." By this time the crowd had grown to enormous proportions. It was no longer breathless with suspense, but its hunfor had become Jetting, and the people protlvied lluent advice to the young man aud the.young woman by turn. Gustave finally grewr ashamed and gave up trying to frighten Ernestine, and with lowered head made his way through the crowd and back to tho house, whore she awaited him smilingly. There doubtless a full reconciliation was effected between them. The crowd watched him until he disappeared, and then cheered before tho horse until the two young people appeared at the window with their arms about each others waists and bowed in recognition of the interest their little play had created.
