In few minutes afterwards she presented
herself at the gate of the palace, and, in obedi-
ence to the directions of the King, was instant-
ly admitted. At the same time, the hall IN
which the King sat was cleared of every person
but, as matter of precaution, attendants wore
posted in the iieighooring chambers. sss.x
"Charming child !" said the King, II am deep
ly sensible Of the interest you take in my safety
Although do not fear for my persons still you
must be conscious that an attempt upon the life
of a sovereign is always dreadful crime. and
must be punished III the manner the laws have
ordained for such an offence s ss5ae-s. -
"Yes, Sire, | am conscious of it." replied the
young girl: sand know also that your noble
soul is superior to all common fears. Still
have thought it my duty to apprise you Of dan-
ger, and, If possible, not to permit that you
should be basely assassinated. Strasborough
has given you magnificent reception: but let
Yourself rot be deceived by outward show
This city still mours its liberty, and never will
you be able entirely to subdue that . Ing.
81 thoroughly comprehend what you mean;
the same observation has, before now; been made
to me. But let US cos,e to the object Of your
visit. You have spoken of plot" gHs.
"Yes. BY singular chance have learned
the scent. Your death has been sworn to By
the conspirators; and,at the very moment when
you least expect it will the attempt be made"
swell, well, we shall take every precaution;
but explain yourself more fully What is the
hour fixed upon for the commission OF the
crime q ca $50 alsa-ael 17sS
81 fear, Sire, that all precautionswill be use
less. The conspirators are full of guile, and
gifted equally with address and dissimulation."

The young girl pronounced the last word in
a firm tone Of voice. A glance, like lightning,
glared from her eyes: and, before the King could
recover from his establishment, she bounded te-
wards him, armed with a dagger and witht
sure, steady, and st.ong hand, stuck him right
on the heart; but, luckily for himfelf, Louis the
Fifteenth wore cuirass under his purple robes
The weapon slid over the steel, and the King,
free from danger, grasped the hand that still
clutched the dagger. @
The attendants that had been posted in the
adjoining chambers instantly appered, and iaia
hold of the young girl. She remained still
calm, moveess, and cold as statue. She did
not even make the slightest effort to escape
from them. At the moment the King was In<
formed that the administrator and sherifis wers

They were desired to appear and it seemed
that, as they proceeded to the presence, cham-

attempt on the Kings life; for upon be-

"Sire, am rendered most miserable by this
foolish, this novel, this wicked attempt to dis
furb the general JOY. The guilty person can
only be lunatic; but still deserves punIsh-
ment. We pray you however, to direct the
persons present not to speak one word of tins
affair. 1t is not proper that the slightest doubt
should be cast upon the fidelity and LOYALTY Of
Strasbonrgh towards your royal person. ssE
Then the administrator, turning to the ysun4
girl, thus addressed her in German, of which
language he knew the King and all his couriiers
were ignorant:-"Ger nurchin das rn.eriand

what it was the Administrator had said to the
prisoner. The latter, with an impcrtuable az
surance replied, "de has told her that Gci sia

The young girl smiled, and then said, "Neis

She had not yet finished speaking, when the
guards entered to lead her away. At the Ho-
ment in which the Kings attendants weres
bout to give her to the soldiers she slipped irons
their hands, made bound towards the window
and disappeared. Her lovely and beauteous

Upon the evening of the tibet October tho
