After these two thousand years
Is there still no tale to tell?
Buried with her, in her mound
She is dust long since, but you
Only yesterday were found
Iridescent as the dew
Fashioned fau1tlessly, a form
Graceful as was hers whose cheek
Once against you made your warm
While you heard her sorrow speak.
At your lips I listen long
For some whispered word of her,
For some ghostly strain of song
In your haunted heart to stir.
But your crystal lips are dumb,
flushed the music in your heart;

Back again and bid it starti
Long is art, but life how briefi
And the end seems so unjust;

and our eyes met. Hers brown and
beautiful, shining in the light of the

lips were half parted, and one fair tress
of hair had escaped from her hood.

she resumed, softly, ''a favor for which

I did not tell her of her husbands

wronging her, and being, in fact, the
cause of her detention. / wanted her
services as a guide. That was the main
point, though I was glad to be able to
put her in a place of safety at the same
time that we fulfilled our own mission.
She rose eagerly. you are sure that
we can get out?" she said.
Sure" l replied, with a brevity
worthy of Beers himself.
And I was right. We trooped down
stairs, making as little noise as posi-
BILE; with the result that Mirepoix only
took the alarm, and came upon us when
we were at the outer door, bungling
with the lock. Then I made short
work of him, checking his scared words
of remonstrance by flashing my dag
ger before his eyes. l induced him in
the same fashion-he was fairly taken
by surprise to undo the fastenings
himself; and so, bidding him follow
us at his peril we slipped out one by
one. We softly4 closed the door behind
US. And 10! we were at last free-free

and the strokes were echoed, before
we had gone many steps along the i'll
paved way, by the solemn tones of the
bell of Notre Dame.
We were free and in the streets, with
Il guide who knew the way. If Beers
had not gone straight from us to his
vengeance, we might thwart him yet.
I strobe along quickly, Nine. do
by my side, the others a little way in
front. Here and there an oil lamp,
swinging from a pulley in the middle
of the road, enabled us to avoid some
obstacles more fool than usual, or to
leap over q pool which had formed in
the kennel. Even in my excitement.
my country-bred senses rebelled
against the sights, and smells, the moi
some air and oppressive closeness Of
the streets.
The town was quiet, and very dark
where the smoky lamps were not hang
ing. Yet 1 wondered if it ever slept,
for more than once we had to stand
aside to give passage to q party of men,
hurrying along with links and arms.
Several times, too, especially towards
the end of our walk, L vas surprised
by the flashing of bright lights. in a
courtyard, the door of which stood half
open to right or left. Once I saw the
