 TAs. s:SAs Sss:ae and her lover Laroehe and she had been lovers for about six hours only-made their way to where boat lay moored below the falls, and cmhArking in it were soon carried beyond pursuit. It was supposed by the frightened villagers that SpTide must have been carried from the platform when the body from the window above had been seen to strike upon it; and as the whirlpool below the torrent had never been known to give up its dead, but little search was made for her, and her friends resigned themselves to mourning for her awful tate.
 Less than six months after this, Landry was uied for the murder of brother keeper and was convicted and hanged accordingly, Previous to his execution, however, he made a clean breast otit to Father Allard, confesSing that he had murdered the farmer for his money killing him with the stake cut from the hedge by young Laroche. which as hap pened singulaily enough, suggested to nAku NuG lNCM Vt (OututtAAkok koC &khheGs
 Two years elapsed, and Father Allard had been prom oted to a parish at a dis tance of some fifty miles from the one which he had been pastor of for so many years.
 Shortly after his arrival there his duties led him to take journey on horseback some miles into the interior of tho parish of which he had charge. Part of the road travelled by him wound through a swampy forest region and after ride of several miles he came to sluggish stream that had formerly been spanned by bridge, of which nothing but the abutmcnts remained, however. The pEies, turned hts horses head and rode along the bank of the river, hoping to find another bridge, or al least ford by which he could cross to the further side; nor had he gone far when he discovered by iootmarks, a place where cattle seemed to be in the habit of wading through or coming to drink.
 The water appeared 10 be sh allow, so he urged his unwilling horse into 1t, and had got about halfway across, when the animal began to plunge and struggle vio- lently, sinking at the same time, as tt uBAWu uOWu 0Y SOlhG ROWCAs Aware now that he had fallen into one Of those quick-sands which arc not uncom- mon in that part of France, the good father knew that to throw himself from his horse would he certain death, as the water was not deep enough to swim ia, and the hungry sand at the bottom was gaping for him. He held upon his horse, therefore and shouted for help.
 The water was gaining upon him as the terrified horse sunk deeper and deeper in the treacherous stream. Up, up 1t came, until 1t reached his saddle.HAps, and then his knees and he had given himself up as lost, when distant shouts came Tn response to his, which were growing feebler with each repetition.
 And now a man bursts his way through the brushwood on tke river bank, and laying his axe upon a tall, slender young tree, cuts it down with four or i've rapid strokes, leaning 1t so that 1t falls down upon the water, its topmost boughs just brushing the sinking horseman in its fall Grasppg the boughs with all his remaining strength, the priest was drawn to the bank by the woodsman, Aiming and senseless.

 Presently Laroche, who had been en gagged, with the assistance of some Of the neighbors in extricatins the priests horse, came ID, and the scene was an affecting one between the two, each of whom had been wonderfully appointed by Providence to preserve the other.
 My conscience is clear now" said Father Alard. Heaven hAs surely pardoned the little fiction framed by me else why--'
 Hold, Father, there was no fiction in the case. You said that 1 vas carried upon an angels wings, and so was, and this is the angel that saved me And he. laughing, threw his arms around the pretty wife.
 Laroche was enabled by the assistance of Father Allard to return to his native village, where. not long after. he obtained an appointment to the very kee2ership formerly held by the assassin Landry.
