the teeth barred in last spasm. Pros
trate on it lay'a woman, young WON.
an, with her hair like red gold
falling about her neck and skin like
milk. ! did not know whether she was
alive or dead; but noticed that one
arm stuck out stifiiy. and the crowd
flying before the sudden impact Of the
horses must have passed oyer;her, even
II she had escaped the iron hoofs which
followed, Still, in the feeting glance
! had of her as my horse bounded aside,
/ saw no wound or disfgurement, Her
one arm was cast about the priests
breast; her face was hidden in it. But
for all that knew her-knew her,
shuddering for the woman whose
badges was even now wearing, whose
gift bore at my side; and | remem-
bered the priests vaunt of few hours
before, made in her presence: There
is no man in Paris shall thwart me to-
night!"
1t had been a vain boast, indeed!
No hand in all that host of thousands
was more feeble than his now; for
good or i'll! No brain more dull, no
voice less needed. a righteous retribu.
tion indeed had overtaken him. He
had died by the sword he had drawn
died, q priest, by violence! The cross
he had renounced had crushed him.
And all his schemes and thoughts, and
no doubt they had been many, had
persisted with him. 1t had come to this,
only, this, the sum Of the whole matter,
that there was one wicked man the less
in Paris-one lump of breathless clay
the more.
For her--the woman on his breast
what man can judge woman, knowing
her? And not knowing her, how much
less? For the present put her out of
my mind, feeling for the moment faint
and cold.
We were clear of the crowd and clat-
tering unmolested down paved street
before fully recovered from the shock
which this sight had caused me. Won
der whittier we were going took it's
place. To Beers house? My heart
sank at the prospect if that were so.
Before thought Of an alternative, a
gateway flanked by huge round towers
appeared before us, and we pulled up
suddenly, 4 confused jostling mass in
the narrow way; while some words
passed between the vidame and the
captain of the guard. A pause of sew
eral minutes followed; and then the
gates rolled slowly open, and two by
two we passed under the arch. Those
gates might have belonged 10 fortress
or prison. dungeon or palace, for
all | knew.
They led, however, to none of these,
but to an open space, dirty and Uttered
with rubbish, marked by hundred
ruts and tracks, and fringed with dis
orderly cabins and makeshft booths.
And ltrond this-oh, We gods! the JOY
of II ,ond this. which we crossed at
a RAPID trot, lay the open country!
