the least frightened. rest secure and

rs that quite true?" whispered the
stranger.
Entirely" was the low response.
Thank you. 1 hope the darkness
does not trouble you, nor the closeness
of the air. I might give you light, but
it would betray our retreat. But, hush!
they are approaching. The rendezvous
is at the other tree"
The countess bent her eye to the
little aperture, and plainly discerned
three figures, all alike, SO that one
might be readily taken for the other.
They sat down, not two yards from
the tree which sheltered their unsus-
pected watchers.
We'll, Jaques, what news tonight q"
said M. Pierre's dry, rasping voice;
'how goes on the ?"
"Gloriously, comrade! Paris ia all
in ferment. and the fever is spread
ing through the country. What think
you-a great company of them went
out to that tyrant Louis palace, and
compelled him to consent to some of
the Assembly's requirements A few
more such riots, and the whole thing is
done, so say host of the leaders. Then
hurrah for a republic! We will make
our proud masters drink of the cup
they would have given to u.s."
You are quite sure it is trueP" uues-
toned M. Pierre, cautiously. There
will be no mistake about it?"
''Not bit of it. Jaques came direct
from Paris to Frejus. Why, they have
killed half dozen of the aristocratic
upholders already; they are expecting
a general rise every night; the king
himself suspects it, for he attempted to
escape. but they brought him back in
triumph"
Then our plans may safely go on?"
ITO be sure. Make certain of all the
treasure you can; it won't be long be-
fore the whole peasantry will come for
ward to take their share. What harm
in looking out for ours ahead?"
