too. The thing IS over"
The thing was nearly over. Even the ST.
Gennain omnibuses were running now,
hating as usual for passengers in front of
the beautiful church opposite, and to one
OF these omnibuses Bourke and Hardwood
conducted the two young ladies who had
given up their cab to the Empress of
France. Nobody interfered with them, no
body seemed to notice them except pasty
visaged young man, with pale pg-like eyes,
who nodded hastily to Bourke and walked
away.
That was Speyer, the war correspond

said Bourke to Hardwood. Il didn't know
he was in Paris
Hardwood frowned and said nothing I'M
til their disconnected but grateful charges
were safely seated in the omnibus. Then
Bourke said several civil things in we'll
intentioned French.
Both young men offered to act as further
escort, were timidly thanked. but unmis-
| takably discouraged and finally stood back
raising their hats as the omnibus started.
THANK you again for all you have DONE
said Hide. Yolette inclined her head with
pretty reticence, the driver cracked his
whip, and the three horses moved off at a
trot.
Hardwood stared after the vehicle until

Hardwood laughed easily and walked on
in silence. Life was very pleasant at
times-even delightful when lighted by 8

tirely deserted Besides the sentinel and
the sparrows some one else was moving
amnesty about in the sunshine, with his
hands thrust into the pockets of a stained
jacket.
AS he passed the barrack grille he raised
MS hard race and fixed a pair of narrow
uncertain eyes on the sentinel. One OF his
eyes was very bright-almost, luminous
like the eyes of small animals at night. The
other eye wasHsightless and scared

Across the street the afternoon sun blazed
on the shabby houses. The iron gateway
or the Prince Murat barracks was closed.
the National Guard sentinel now leaned
In the shadow of his box, drowsy and mo-

street. There was no sound. no movement
except when a dusty sparrow raised its
head from the hot grass, beak open, as
though Darched.
The Mouse contemplated the sparrow
with his solitary eye. He, too, was thirsty.
He clacked his tongue twice, spat on the
grass. scratched one large ear and yawned.
Presently he drew pipe from some recess

looked steadily at the crowd, which was

Bourke and Hardwood had recognized her

suddenly as it had begun. Without turning
his head, the Mouses eye searched the

Will prove of exceptional interest to those
