Humaine.

DAVOINE, the purchaser of Chanteau's timber business at Caen. When
Chanteau became incapacitated by gout, he sold his business to Davoine
for a hundred thousand francs, of which one-half was to be paid in
cash and the balance to remain in the business. Davoine was, however,

the profits were drained away, and the balance sheet generally showed a
loss. He ultimately became bankrupt, and Chanteau lost all the money he
had left in the business. La Joie de Vivre.
DEBERLE (DOCTOR HENRI), a medical man of Passy who inherited from his
father a large fortune and an excellent practice. A chance call to

the novel.
