side through thick pine trees into a
valley which opened to the south. In
time of peace 1 have little doubt that
the villains were all smugglers and
that these were the secret paths by
which they crossed the Portuguese
frontier. There were many mule
tracks, and once was surprised to see
the marks of a large horse where a
stream had softened the track. These

to fallen tree. My eyes hardly rested
upon it when 1 recognized the great
black limbs and the white near the
freleg. It was the very horse which I
had begged for in the morning.
What then had become of Com
missariat Vidal? Was it possible that
there was another Frenchman in as
perilous plight as myself! The
thought had hardly entered my head
when our party stopped and one of
them uttered peculiar cry. It was
answered from among the brambles
which lined the base Of a cliff at one
side Of the clearing, and an instant later
ten or dozen more brigands came out
from amongst them and the two par
ties greeted each other. The newcom-
ers surrendered my friend of the
bradawl with cries of grief and sympa-
thy, and then turning upon me they
brandished their knives and howled at

eagerly to glance about for some
chance of escape, and as did so saw
something which filled me with great
establishment.
have already told you that large
fire was burning in the center of the
glade. What with its glare and what
with its moonlight everything was as
clear as possible. On the other side of
the glade there was a single tall fir tree
which attracted my attention because
it's trunk and lower branches were dis
colored, as if large fire had recently
been lit underneath it. A clump Of
bushes grew in front of it which
concealed the base. Well, as I
looked towards it was surprised to see
projecting above the bush, and fastened
apparently to the tree, pair of fine
riding boots with the toes upwards. At
first l thought that they were tied
there. but as l looked harder I saw
that they were secured by a great nail
which was hammered through the foot
of each. And then suddenly, with a
thrill of horror, understood that they
were not empty boots, and, moving my
head a little to the right, was able to
see who it was that had been fastened
there and why fire had been lit be-
meath the tree. It is not pleasant to
speak or think of horrors, my friends,
and do not wish to give any of you
bad dreams tonight, but cannot take

terrible fate with sprightlincss and

that had never given thought to my
own position. Perhaps it would have
been more polite had 1 spoken the
ruttian fair, but it was too late now.
The cork was drawn and must drain
the wine. Besides, if the harmless
commissariat man was put to such q
death, what hope was there for me,
who had snapped the spine of their
lieutenant? No, was doomed in any
case, so it was as well, perhaps, that I
should have put the best face ON the
matter. This beast could bear witness
that Eticnne Gerard had died as he
had lived, and that one prisoner at
least had not quailed before him. 1 lay
there thinking of the various girls who
would mourn for me, and Of my dear
old mother, and Of the deplorablc loss
that 1 should be both to my regiment
and to the emperor, and am not
ashamed to confess to you that shed
tears as thought Of the general con-
sternation which my premature end
would give rise to.

for the pigs and poultry, they were left in

gathers around houses. 1t is about one
