the confession to the Partisan police
which led to her arrest and impnsOn-
ment, and finally, after q most exciting
chase to the capture in Havana of the
stranger Eyraud, who was brought
back to Paris fer trial.
The most remarkable feature in the
sensational legal proceedings which cul-
minated in the sentencing to death OF
Tyraud and to twenty years imprison-
mont at hard labor of Gabrielle was the
unsuccessful attempt Of the counsel for
+hc Bompard woman to prove that in
fine murder she acted her part while

The Execution.
The morning was a bitterly cold one,
but at an early hour, long before the
lovers of law and order We're out of their
beds. A great crowd rapidly congregated
i'm the Place de la Rocquette. 1t was
s1lch q crowd as Paris alone of all great
cities of the world can invoke from
doubtful holes and corners. 1t was
distinctly u vicious, criminal, and even
a murderous crowd. Ii was crowd
made up of scoundrels who live upon
the sins of fallen women, of discharged
convicts. Of club Croupiers, sneak
thieves. girls who have proDed the
deDtbs of social and moral degradation,
and all the other vile inhabitants Of the
yilest quarters Of the great French
capital.
As the time grew nearer for the exc
cution of the sentence OF the law, the
swarming throng was recruited by an
army of shady characters who accom-
plish their evil works by daylight and
bv great numbers of the simply curious.
In the place two great barriers had been
erected to prevent the crushing OF the
mob. Presently the drums OF the Re
nublican guard We're heard, and a mo-
ment later that famous corps proceeded
bv the gendarmes swept into the great
rope warded open space about the gull
lotine.
Streaming beside the marching troops
AMI rolicemea came q crowd Of carous-
ers. men and women. from the low all
NIGHT cafes in the vicinity. As the
drunken dishcyelled women staggered
and swaved along they sang III nioloto-
nous rythm the words, 'Cest Eyraud,
ouH hous faut, cest sa tete qull nous
faut.'
When the brandy was offered to
Fvraud he declined it with a slow shake
of fhe head and remarked 1t would do
me no good" Just before he was led
ont from his cell. the prisoner again re-
fused brandy. He walked steadily to

shouted, ..Constans is a murderer More
of a murderer than am l. Constans-,,

ment later the great knife dashed down
ward and the murderer's head fell away
from the body and dropped into the saw
basket beneath the platform.
Death came simultaneously with the
blow of the knife. The body of Eyraud
has been handed over to his relatives.

Death has again visited our quiet
neighborhood, and claimed as his
victim, MISS Sallie Taylor, one who
was loved and cherished by oil
who knew her. Where could have
been found a brighter flower,
blooming in any homer Death
loves shining mark, and we feel
that he has taken one Of the bright
est our circle held. l have been in
timately acquainted with Sallie for
several years, and knew her only
to love her. I have Waited her
home often, always finding her
bright end cheerful ever casting q
brightness in the family circle.
She was an obedient daughter, an
affectionate sister, and although
her life has been . short one, we
feel 1t has been blessing to 10, for
she lived . life ofpurity, always
kind and gentle trying to make
others happy. Although We know
abe Is In . fairer CLINE than ours,
We cannot help mourning for her
o how sad we feel to see her vacant
seat In church, and know that she
can never visit u again. Dear
6allie, tits hard to give you up, you
who No have loved 40 long, and
chsfished 10 we'll, when We think
Of yens sweet face cold In death
and your lovely form hid from III
forever, We cannot keep back thu
hot tears that como to our eyes
But this 10 not eli, our hearts an

some day we will know you more
beautiful than. we ever knew yor
here. Yes few heeting years q
most will close our earthly career
and we will join our loved onel
who have crossed the river befor,
US. Thus has passed away one o
the most lovely children Of earth
the rosy morn of life dawned OF
her brightly, high hopes and brigh
prospects were hers, which also tot
soon were doomed to be blighted
But what a happy destiny awaited
her!
The sorely bereaved family hav'
the sympathy of many friends, We
these aching hearts can only b.
healed by the mysterious provi
dence of Him who doeth all thing
we'll.
I'VE mise thee, o We miss thee
How much human lips may not tell
And the void thou hast left in the circle
None other, none other can fill
But when earthly SORROWS have vanished
And the hearts weary throbbings are DER,
How sweet to 90 mp TO that circle,
Where thou wilt be missing no more"
