' My dear friends, it is not bean gines that will be of imme-

obtained ladders, but time bad been lost in searching for the
keys. The ladders were placed in front of the theatre, but
unfortunately they were so short as scarcely to reach th
windows of the saloon. Whilst this was going on M. Fortiere
got out of his vvindow, and his female servant, who was the
only resident in the building besides himself, took his place
at it. He held by the ridge of the attic, and with seeming
calmness awaited relief. When asked by the persons below
