They were stopped many and many
a time before they reached the desired
haven; but the Gray Falcons name Was

The horrors had deepened in Paris.
The unfortunate Louis had been led
to the block, and the trial of the queen

utmost lawlessness and blood-thirsti-
ness prevailed everywhere.

growing quite accustomed to the light
tasks which devolved upon her, had
almost put away the old identity, and
believed herself the humble Chlotilde
OF the cottage, when suddenly and
harshly came to her the reminder Of
her former existence.
