1 It was on a Sunday evening Of he month
Of August 1910, and tie Alice lafayette was
more than usually crowded Aiier a day Of
uncommon sultrinez, fresh breeze bad
sprung up and little before sundown the fair
Toulousines had deserted TIER dafkened and
artihcially cooled rooms ard aocked t0lhe pro-
mcnade. The walk was tbrOnged with gaily
aitired ladies, sinking dindies, and 0fhcen in
foil dress. In the fields On the further side OF
the canal, number ofmen Of the working cas-
ses, happy in their respite from the tolls oftho
week, were singing IN parts, with al tho uiu.
steal taste and correctness ofeaF for which the
Inhabitants Of that part Of France are noted;
while, on the broad boulevard that traverses
the lower end Of the alec. crowd Of recruits
whom the conscriptiou had recently called
under the coloTs, stood gazing IN OPEN mouthsd
establishment and infinite delight at some rude
y constructed booths and shows. outside Of
which, clown and paillasse were rivaIlug zach

ties ofstudenls, easily recognizable BY thoiTsc-
centric and exaggerated style Of dress, andthe
loud tone Of their conversation, were sealed
outside the cafes and ice rooms, or circulating
under the trees, pufing forth clouds Of to-
bacco smoke; and on the road round the dliee,
open carriages, smart tilburiee, and dapper
| hoTsemen were careenng
Among the various groups throngmg the
promenade was one which, in Hyde Park or on
the PARIS boulevards. would have attracted
some notice; but the persons composing u

south Of France 10 draw upon them any atten-
ton from the loungers. The party IN question
consisted Of three men who, by their bronzed
compilations, ragged mustaches, and sullen'
/ dogqed countenances, as well as their whole
| air and t0urnure, were easily distingulsha6e a.

stiR had upon its shoulders the small lace

er wore for head dress botnd, with ils large
starlke tassels Of silver cord. The third and
most remarkable Of the party, was man IN
the prime Of lie and strength, whose counte.
nance bore the impress Of every bad passion.
Il was one Of those faces sometimes seen IN
old paintings Of monkish inquisitors, on viewing
which, one feels inclined 70 suspect that the
artist has outdone and exaggerated nature
The expression Of the cold, CLASSY, gray eye
and thin, pale, compressed lips, was one OF an,
relenting cruelty; while The coaTsely moulded

and nipht. The Carlsts had reached the up.
Der end ofthe walk, and turning round, began
10 descend il again three abreast, and with the
man who has been particularly described in the
centre. On a sudden the latter stopped short
As though petrihed where he stood. His
oountenance. naturally sallow, bBcame pale as
ashes. and, as If 10 save himself from tallings
he clutched the arm Of one Of hs companions
with a force that made him vince again, while
he ga1ed with distended eyeballs on man
who bad halted within half-a-dozen PAGES Of
the Spanards. The person whose aspect
produced this Medusa-hke effect upon the Car
list was man about thirty years oioge, plainly
but elegantly dressed, and OF progressing
but somewhat siekly comtenance, the lines OF
which were now working under the influence
Of some violent emotion. The only peculiarly
in his appearance was black silk band which
passing under ais chin, was brought up on both
sides ofthe head, and fastened on the crown
under the hat.
