but those assembled, with haggar eyes,
sbleodless cheeks black, fearful hearts,
knew no distinction Of night or day.
There was wine in profusion on the t.

tesans to hand the pernicious draught,
dragged, in some instances. for horrible
purposes. Thefe w1s music to soothe
the psssons Of the irrifated losers, and
to excite those Of the rejoicing winners

There was murmur in the crowd ;
among the gamblers, especially, there
were threatening looks and violent ex-
pressions. One or two lights were put
out; the numbers began to crowd around
him, when Crequeville and Levesque,
who were nearest whispered to him,
Monsieur, they are going to attack
you; strike out and follow us. We
will guide you safely homeward."
"Thanks, messieurs, thanks. | am

up his fists.
Then a struggle and sudden rush
ensued, and in the midst of it arose
some cries, and the sound of heavy
blows fell upon the ear, and presently
the three men were out in the air
They hurried onward: the police spy
had lost sight of them, however, for a
time.
The moon had obscured moment as
they came to a clump of trees, in the
shadow of some old buildings. and they
stood for a moment, TO recover them

"Faith, monsieurw said Crequeville,
with a laugh, "you may congratulate
yourself on your escape. 1t is not often
that when such an attack is made a
man gets off free"

But at that moment, on the back OF
the unfortunate youths head there
came a crashing, deafening blow. He
fell without sound or motion: and the
brigand, dropping his deadly weapon
(the life-preserver), fell on his knees
beside him, and began to rifle his pock-
