their low is great. But Lupin brings news of

just then n man comes in and asks for
documents relating to the fOrty-two persons
accused that day, and especially for doeu-
ment relating to Fabienne. The messenger
tells Labu5siere that lie has orders to say
that If one paper be missing Labussiere must
pay with his life.
"What is he to do?"

In truth several are found, but the two
men feel they are committing murder in
condemning another innocent person. The
agonzing scene finishes by An explosion of
joy, for Robespierre is accused and the
friends have only to free Fabienne from the
Conciergerie.

where her miserable condition had been ex-
planned. Daughter of a dead soldier, sister
of another soldier shot at Nantes as Roy
alist, cousin of n gail otined Lecoulteux
d'Aunay, this poor girl was brought up in
the UrSuline Convent of Compiegne The
day that the converts were sacked by the
Convention this girl of 20 was alone in the
world. She, pretty and grateful to her
savior, promised TO marry him, and Martial
coutded her to the care of an aged cousin
who lived in the Rue de la Cerisaie. But the
cousin died while he was at the frontier,
and as for some months he had been Il pris-
0neT, he had received no news whatever of
Fabienne.
And he returns now to the quay because
yesterday he thought he saw the young girl
among the washerwomen. After this love
story the two friends exchange opinions
about the political situation in Paris; it is
the morning of the ninth Thermidor and
there is an end To Robespierre's hopes for
the Dictatorship. We are also at the end of
the Reign Of Terror, but half of Paris de-
nounces the other half, and everywhere is
misery, intrigue, blood and prisons flied
with suspected people.
While Martial and Labusserre discuss
these events, the washerwomen arrive.

the streets deserted, and in spite of Robes
pierre's fall the guillotine is to continue
its work of death.
One Of the last condemned is FabIenne-
she is in the last cart. Labussiere has an
idea; for Fabienne, under certain condl-
tions. there may be respite, and respite
means her life spared. Martial declares in
a loud voice that he is father of her unborn
child. and Fabienne has only to sign the pa

fuses her life at the price of dishonor, aud
goes to execution.
Martial, IN despair, attacks the soldiers
and Is killed by pistol-shot The first,
second and third acts of "Thermidor" are
superb, but the fourth is not human. After
we have passed by the most ardent passions,
love, humanity and patriotism, the sublime
sacrifice of Fabienne leaves US frigid; we
should like to see her more earthly, less
heavenly.
