no attention to the crowd that surrounded her. and
scarcely thanked those who opened for her pas
sage Her face, ordinarily pale, had become very
bright, her eyes were flashing, and it could be seen
that something strange was passing through her
mind
She pushed aside the proprietor, who was before

She stopped down, and fell upou her knees by the

the appearance Of youth on body which age would
