and, looking up, beheld leaning against
the jamb Il man whom he well knew.
1t was Crepin, Il disSOlute fellow,
thought by some to be Il spy for the
terrorists, for he had Il habit of turning
up among the homes on the Rue PaScarin,
and, always after his visits, there would
be new arrests and executions among

knew how to take care of his own head,

be losing theirs.

Il don't see why he should, Cfepln-
He's but a raven, and, surely, they don't
want the heads of such creatures.
Crepin continued to look at the raven,
and all ut once, with muttered words, the
import Of which Fabien could only guess,
he turned and passed out.
The raven delighted at the dark-faced
mans departure, gave vent to Sundry

do not cease to repeat that bad sentence.

looked out from behind the blinds, for
it was known that the soldiers were
coming to arrest some new victims.
Little Fabicn did not hear them until
they reached the door which he had
closed; but, as q heavy rap sounded, he
sprang up and went forward.

There was a decided difference in the

the victims of former miSmanaSement.
That the preponderence of good over
bad service was greater then is owing
to the longer apprenticeship and the
more thorough and conscientious teacher
who held sway ut that time, and the
