that Bellevilie was a seething cauldron of
revolution: that the whole quarter was pre-
pairing to rise en- masse and hurl them
selves again on the Hotel de Vile.
During his interview with Gen. Trochu,
Bourke saw the stream of staff officers con-

to Gen. Ducrot, commanding the only rel
able and efficient corps in Paris.

UNFoRTUNATE PASSENGERS.
Discomforts Endured by Travellers
on Railroads in spain.

From the Kansas City World.
There are in Spain 1850 miles of railroad,
less than one-thlrd of the number in Great
Britain, France or Russia, and less than
one-fourth of the number in Italy. The
relative insignificance of the Spanish rail-
road system appears best in comparison
with American railroads, a single line, the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, having an
aggregate mileage of 400. owned, operated
or controlled, or nearly as much as all the
railroads of Spain combined. Spanish rail-
reads are proverbially slow. the rate OF
express trains being about twenty-five
miles. and of way passenger trains from
tw Give to fifteen. They seldom run on
schedule time, and il Is the testimony Of all
travellers that they never make connections.
The amount of baggage allowed each first
class passenger on a Spanish railroad is
siXty-six pounds, but the railroads are not
responsible for its identification.
The charges on Spanish railroads are re-
markedly high, being at the rate of five
cents mile on first-class trains and three
cents a mile on second-class trains, about
double the American average.
r The difficulties of passenger traffic on
Spanish railroads are enhanced in some
particulars which are rather amusing than
serious. Passengers are expected to arrive
at the station at least half an hour before
the train leaves in order that sufficient
allowance may be made for the dilatory
proceedings of the railway officials During
part of the day land in some cities the
larger part of the day., the railway sta
tions are closed and the ticket offices do
rot open until an hour before the time
scheduled for the departure of the train.
closing quarter Of an hour before II is
due.
One popularity of railroad travel in
Spain is to be found in the fact that en-
p!oyes of the railroad company are entitled
as matter of right, TO the best seats, even
regardless of the tickets sold passengers.

CHAPTER XXI.
BOurke Does What He Can.

1t was pitch dark when Bourke reached
the Rue d'Ypres, but the red glare OF
torches lighted up the ramparts and cast
lurid reflections across the fronts of the
shadowy houses opposite. A constantly in
creasing crowd of people surrounded his
house. He FASTENED on, pushing, strug-

uncertain step forward. The next moment
her white, frightened face was hidden on
his shoulder.

Yolette. Don't tremble SO. See, you are
safe. Nothing can harm you, my darling"
Somebody in the crowd said, ITS her
