were used to, and then, despite every rep
resentation, set out to walk home, though
De Pierrepont wished to hire a gig.
Next morning the body of Dubois was
found about hundred yards beyond the
house of De Pierrepont, which was at the
foot of hill that led up to the village.
All his money was gone as we'll as his
watch and rings
Pierrepont as his companion, was visited
by the police agent. De Pierrepont de-
posed that Dubois, on his reaching his
house, bade him 60 in, for that he could
got the hill safely alone; but still he re
quested him to keep a bag of 1000 francs
in silver, because it was so heavy, until
the morning. This 1000 francs he gave
up to the police. Of 10000 francs in
notes he solemnly declared he knew
nothing.
On this he was arrested as the assassin
tried, found guilty and sent to the galleys
for life. His wife solemnly declared that
she heard Dubois with her husband good
night, and say, laughipgly, "I'll send a
cart for the silver in the morning." But
instead of benefting him in the eyes OF
world she became his accomplice. To
AVOID being hooted at in the streets, she
left the village, and every penny being
spent ere her husbands trial was over,
she obtained reluctant permission to dwell
in the charcoal burners deserted hut. But
all stunned her and her child as they
would lepers, and to live she was obliged
to walk nine miles in search of work of
the coarsest description. Leave the coun-
try she would not, because she was born
there, and she felt convinced that her hus-
band would be ultimately pardoned."
"And you join, Edward, in the famous
persecution. Snpposing the father guilty

you know I am lawyer, why should

father? Why, the savages OF North
America, where have just come from,

this heroic couple subject Of wonder and
admiration, butnot of hate. Poor crea-
ture! Fifteen years of misery have not
satisfied you all, but you must still treat
them as outcasts."
My dear Arthur; you have just come
from America, where it appears to me
you pick up very singular notions. For
my part the wife and daughter of an as
sassin, and the assassin of my uncle, are
detestable wretches whom [ must hate"
said the other in his usual cool way. His
fit Of anger was passed.
Injustice, infamous injustice! Poor
girl! I think see her meek face now,
looking at me so proudly and yet so
sweetly. [ never saw ANYTHING so lovely
in my life"
''Why, the mans in lover' exclaimed
Edward Dubois, the heir to the murder
ed mans property.
Half; and what's more, Edward, do
you know I'd marry that girl tomorrow
if she'd have me, but know she would
not"
"By my faith" said Edward, s.you
amaze me; and am not easily amazed.
OF course yoa are .ioaking."
"Time will show. But now, my dear
fellow, adieu, you follow that path in
search Of pleasure, this on business
"Adieu, II beaoaS1a."
g yes. You breakfast with me at the
little inn, you know"
agreed, my philosopher. Adieu.'
And Edward Dubois galloped down a
narrow path leading to the chateau Of a
certain Count de Season., who that day
gave a grand dinner and evening party.
As soon as Arthur saw that he was out of
sight he turned his horses steps and gal
loped hard toward the charcoal burners
hut
When Madeleine returned to the hut
and began making a fire, she told her
mother what had passed and showed her
the gold piece. They were used to this
kind of treatment, and the mother did
not feel it much now. The scorn of ff-
teen years had made her despise the
world. But Madeleine seemed hurt.
Il do not care" she exclaimed aloud,
at last, ''for what young Monsieur Dubois
said, but am vexed that the good look
ing stranger should have said that was

"You are not woman, but an ANGEL

preached on foot and had heard a portion
of their conversation.

young man, addressing the mother:
"You will be still more so when add
that have returned with the deliberate
intention of imploring you to give me
your daughters hand in marriage; not
now, instantly, but when you know me
better"
"Monsieur J" exclaimed the mother, in
dignantly, "that is too much. Go. The

"On my soul and conscience" said Ar

"Oh JOY! oh joy" shrieked the girl
clasping the stranger round the neck; "the

''Be calm, my dear young lady, and
