she had the education Of her son and
daughter in mind.
She returned to Paris in 1890. but the
| second venture with her husband was

class who had been cruel masters for 500
years and who were to be extirpated for
| the crime in five.
De Bcauharnais was executed early in
the revolution, and we can almost overlook
the errors of his life in the heroism of his
death. Not even the fictitious Sidney Car
ton of Dickens assembled the scaffold and
| took the steel passport to eternity with
| finer self possession than FicoMte Alex
| andre Beauharnais.

from Martinique to seek q husband with
| the aid of her aunt she became an adyen-
| turess, but it was not till her twenty
| eighth year that she can be said to have

! calling.
Tho order of the convention that made
her widow left her alone, poor and
| friendless, in the center Of lawlcss ma
| ton, in the turbulent red heart of n city
| where death held sway and the mob held
power.
