Well said I4ucien, smiling bitterly. he
must have changed his mind since his death.
At this moment. the vaiet-de-chambre en-
tered bringing the supper: we seated our
selves at the table. LEcen ate Ike man
free from all pre-occupation. After supper,

He went out. and returned ten minutes af-
ter had sent for cabnoiet; we entered 1t,
and set cut for Eincennes.
On arriving at the crossroads:
We are approaching, are We not! said
Lucien.
= Yes. twenty PAGES from here and we
will be at the place where We entered the for
est.
y We are there, said the young man, at
the same time stopping the cabrlolet: 1t was
the very spot.
Lucien entered the woods withoGt hesita-
ton, and as if it was already the twentieth
time that he had arrived there. He walked
strait to the lawn, and when he had arrived
there he considered for a moment where he
was, and then advancing 10 the very spot
where his brother had fallen, he bent towards
the ground, and, seeing on the ground .ed-
cish spot
= II IS here, said he.
Then, slowly lowering his head, he touched
his lips to the grass.
Then raising himself up. with flaming
eye he traversCd the whole lawn, TO attain the
place from whence Mr.. de Chateau-Renaud
had fired Y

custom in France. YOU know, IS that a duel
does not draw after it other consequences than
SIS natural consequences. Mr.. de Chateau
Remand has fought with your brother. whom
he challenged, but he has nothing 10 do with

morning writer to Giordauo, and when We
shall have returned to Paris. the whole matter
will be arranged. Do You then believe that
Air. de ChateauReHaud Will refuse my prop

= tIr de Chateau-Renaud unluckily has
such a reputation for courage. that am not
permitted TO entertain the least doubt in that
respect.
= Then al is FIR the best, said Lucien-

again IN our cahria}et.
