after all-who knows?" said Lomaque,
ringing his hand bell for lights. They
were brought in, and with them oml-
nously returned the police agent Ma
gloire with a small sealed packet. 1t
contained an arrest order and tiny
three-cornered note, looking more like
a love letter or a lady's invitation to a
party than anything else. Lomaque
opened the note eagerly and read these
lines, neatly written, and signed with
Robespierre's initials-M. R.-forme1
elegantly in cipher:

"There's no choice now" muttereo
Lomaque, angrily thrusting the arrest

his pocket. His father was the saw

but he gave it no utterance. There
was an instants pause of silence; and
through it there came heavily on the
still night air the rumbling of distant
wheels. The sound advanced nearer and
nearer-advanced, and ceased under
the window.
Danville hurried to it, and looked
out eagerly.
II have not fastened my return with
out reason. I wouldn't have missed
this arrest for anything" thought he,
peering into the night.
The stars were out, but there was no
moon. He could not recognize either
the coach or the persons who got out OF
it. and he turned again into the in
terror of the room. His wife had sunk
into ehair-her brother was locking
up in cabinet the book which he had
promised to take care of for her. The
dead silence made the noise of slowly
ascending footsteps on the stairs pain
fully audible. At last the door opened
softly.

long after sunset, and had let the dark
ness steal on them insensibly, as peo-
pie will who are only occupied with
quiet familiar conversation. Thus it
happened, by a curious coincidence,
that Just as Lomaque was blowing out
his candles at the Office, Rose was light
ing the reading lamp at her brother
lodgings.
Five years of disappointment and sor-
row had sadly changed her to outward
view. Her face looked thinner and
longer; the once delicate red and white
of her complexion was gone; her figure
had wasted under the influence of some
weakness which already made her stoop
little when she walked. Her man
ner had lost it's maiden shyness only
to become unnaturally quiet and sub,

He was approaching nearer to her,
when he caught Trudaine's eye fixed on
him, and stopped. Rose started up,
and placed herself between them.
"Oh, Charles! Charles" she said to
her husband, ''be friends with Louis
tonight, and be kind again to mel

laughed contemptuously. She tried to

on the arm and gave her warning

His eye, as he glanced suspiciously
at his wife, fell on Trudaine's gift book
which she still held unconsciously.
What book is that" he asked.
"Only a play of Corneille's," answered
Rose; Louis has just made me a pres
ent of it."
At this avowal, Danville's suppressed
anger burst beyond all control.

voice of fury. "You shall take no pres

with an oath-threw it on the floor and
set his foot on it.

moment his sister threw her arms
round him. He stopped, turning from
fiery red to CHASTITY pale.

Saying that, he put her from him
and in silence took up the book from
the floor.

Danville, with an insolent smile. "You

He Is Deliberate, but Unhesitating, and
His Voice Has Great Carrying Power.
Tho stiff mannorism of tho patriarchal
system, which survived until recently
from early Roman times, gave him that
somewhat formal tone and authoritative
manner which aro SO characteristic of his
conversation in private. His deliberate
but unhositnting speech makes ono think
Of GOetho's without haste, without rest"
Yot his formality Is not OF tho slow and
circuInlocutory sort. On tho contrary, it
is enorgetically precise, and helps rather
thnn mars the sound casting of oach idea.
Tho formality of strong people belongs to
them naturally, and is tho expression of u
certain unchanging porsstonce; TINT of
tho weak Is mostly assumed for tho sake
of mugnifying tho little strength they
have.
Tho popo's voice is Us distinctly intivi-
dual as his manner Of speaking. 1t is not
deep nor very full, but considering his
great age it is wonderfully clear and ring
ing, and it has n certain incisiveness of
sound which gives 1t great carrying power.
Plus TX had us beautiful n voice, both In
compass and in richness of quality, rs any
baritone singer in tho Sistino choir. No
one who over heard him intono tho ITO
Doum" in St. Peters in the old days con
forget tho grand tones. Ho was gifted in
many ways-with great physical beauty,
with raro charm of manner, and with q
most witty humor, and in character he
was ono of the most kind hearted and
gentlo men of his day, us he was also ono
of the least initiative, SO to say, while en-
lowed with tho high moral courage of
boundloss patience and political humility.
Loo NH need speak but half dozen
words, with one glance of his flashing eyes
and ono gesture of his noticoably long arm
and transpnrcntly thin hand, and the
moral distance between his predecessor
and himself is ut once apparent. There is
strength still in every movement, thoro is
deliberate decision in every tone, there is
lofty Independence in every look Behind
these There may DO kindness, charity and
all tho milder gifts of virtue, but what is
apparent Is sort of energetic, manly
tronchancy which forces admiration rather
than awakens sympathy.-Marion Craw-
