is no. vet ole. And now the mo0nilt hours,
the calm of night, are given to the gather
ing up of the dead. Victors and vanquish-
ed lie cheek by jowl on the stones of Paris;
hecatombs sacrificed TO discord and civil
war. The red flag flies yet here and there
above the carnage, the bloody ensign of q
bloody reign.
CHAPTER Y.
WIDOWED.
1t is morning, dim early morning, dawn
pink and pcarl-colofed above the housct0ps,
an odor of verdusc, of lilacs, and acncias in
the fresh sweet air; and Kathleen wanders
up and down the Avenue d'Italie, always
coming back to that house which has been
used as a prison by Citizen Serizicr, Colonel
Scrizier. ti.e leader of The l0;st battalion.
From one AND from another, from many in
formants who all seem to tell their story
differently. she has gathered the history of
the massacre. She has heard how those
harmless Dominican Fathers were hunted
down, slaughtered like sheep in the sham
b.es. 1t is after much questioning that she
hears from a woman in one of the houses
opposite the prison that there was another
victim, one who was neither Dominican nor
subordinate of the Dominican school-a
| young man, handsome, with dark hair and
eyes. lie would have escaped i'll the melee,
only he lost time in trying to save Father
C.sptier, the Prior; and it was only when
| the Pr.or had fallen, When the fathers had
been shot down all along the street, that
this noble youth had turned to fly. And
then, like n young antelope, lie rushed
through the savage crowd. He would have
got off even then, perhaps if it had not
been for a petroleuse, a yeritable she-devii,
who gave the v~iew-halloa. and rushed after
| him with half a dozen ~rufians. He fell at
| the corner of q side street-that new street
to the left yonder-the woman thought.
Kathleen listened to the woman's story,
questioning her closely at every stage. She
was so calm in her white despair, she listen
cd and pondered the details OF tie tragedy
with such a tranquil air, thatone could have
hardly guessed that each word was a death
blow.
DO you recognise this young MAI MS any
one belonging to you?' asked the woman
compassionateIy.
She was a sempstress, who carel neither
for Peter nor Paul, a decent person wfohad
descended from Ter attic in the roof to see
what this new dawn was bringing to Paris
--dcliverance or death. Sic was not one of
those furics who had s.ood at their windows
