Much she ought to suffer, and. be-
Ieve not in Arentas suffering. In some
way, by hook or crook, by word or deed,
she would out of any trouble work her
way.
81 will sit little by the fire, Lysbet.
SIT down by me- My mind is full of her
That is it: And sleep you win not,
anxious and tired / shall be, and who
for? The Marquis de Tourralnel Well,
then, Joris, in thine old age it is late for
thee to bow down to the Marquis de
ITO God Almighty only bow down,
LysoeI ana as for titles. what care Of
them has Joris Van Heemskirk? Think,
counselor or 'senator?' No, he will say
'Joris Van Heemskirk.' and 1 will an
Swer to that name. But you know well,
bbysbet, this bloody trial of liberty in
Paris touches all the world besides"
But bitter fears and sufferings she has
come through. Her husband was guillo-
tlned last May. and from her home she
was taken-no time to write to her friends
mo time to say anything she had, ex>
cept string of pearls which round her
waist for many weeks she had Worn
From prison to prison she was sent, until
at last she was ordered before the Revo-
1utionary tribunal
This is what she did. and blame her
l VIII not When in that terrible iron
She says she forgot then to be afraid
She looked at Fouquier-1 mville, the pub
Tic prosecutor, and at the fifteen jury
men, and hinched not. She had no dress
ITO help her beauty, but she declares she
never felt more beautiful, and well can
believe 1t. They asked her name, and
my Lysbet, think of this childs answer.
i am called Arenta Jefferson de Tour
Ialne, she said, and at the name of JET

OF the lurymen rose to his feet and ask

Ihomas Jefferson, the great American
VINO loves France and nberty? Tt is the
name she answered. and then she sat
and Fouquier-Tinville looked at the pres.
ldent and said, Among my friends L
count this great American and the jury
man mar added, When 1 was very poor and
hungry he fed and helped we and he
bowed to Arenta as he spoke. And after
that Fouquier-Tinville asked who would

toned further she answered: adore
liberty, l believe in France, 1 married a.
Frenchman, for Thomas Jefferson tod
me was coming to great nation, and
might trust both It's government and its
generosity
They asked her then if she had been
klndiy used IN prison, and she told them
her jailer had been to her very unkind,
and that he had taken from her the
pearl necklace which was her wedding
gilt, and If you can believe Arenta. they
were ali extremely polite to her and gave
to leave France. The next day a little
money she got from Minister Morris. but
a very hard passage she had home; and
listen now, her jailer was guillotined be-
lore she left, and she declares it was the
necklace-yery unfortunate beads they
We're. and Madame Jacobus says when
she heard of their fate, Let them &C.

Arenta thinks as soon as Fouquier-Tin-
