He settled in New Orli:Um, and was first employed as "bouncer" in a ball- room and cafe of old C'reole days. Soon aper he took this position the cafe became known au °De of the most orderly In the rity. Next, '•Pepe" became a patron and then • master of the fencing -schools., and may well be spoken of as the bust of the New Orleans fencing masters.

The other fatal occasion *flowed upon the episode which made Pepe famous and secured lion his Spanielt knighthood and decoration. Indeed, the only personal difficulties which Pepe has had since the war were tbe result of his espousal of the *.,,panish cattle.
