of a bell, and over the clamor of voices
its shrill tongue sounded loudly.
The girls moved into recess where
they hoped to remain unrecognized.
Their eyes turned to the Presidents
chair. They started to see that its oc-
cupant was the fierce, nameless old
woman who had been with them all
the black night of the trudge from
Paris, the woman who had been rude
to the King. and yet had played the
part of genteness and tenderness to-
needed food.
There she sat with grim. tight lips,
the eyebrows a pucRered knot or de-
termination
The whole place was ringing with
laughter. One woman climbed to the
side of the Presidents chair, and, in a
voice shrill and excited, began to adj
dress the throng She was a whimsical
lGtcu creature, Will SuOit, pOi1ltcu must
and twin1ling beady eyes.
The aristocrats. she cried. comfort

lowed on the remark
Il move a law" she said that
henceforth it shall be the fine courtly
danes who shall serve in the market
place and that we shall have our turn
in wearing dainty clothes and living

blithely. as though all the world were
beautiful and fair and there was no
misery upon it.
The hush of the approaching even
ing fell like balm on the souls Of the
two girls. They felt it as almost re-
ligious peace. and though at times theg
could hear the roaring of the mob 1t
came to them like the noise Of some
thing in which they had no interest.
So they sat and drank in the sweetness
of the eventide.
The old woman, the nameless one.
sullen of feature. and speaking with
surly shortness even when doing

There was bread. and there was
wine, and there was meat.
The girls looked at the meal Curl
ously. Then they turned an inquiring
look at the old woman.
YES. she said. there is food for
all to-day. The King and the National
Assembly. curse them, when they saw
that we were in dead earnest. got food

but the aristocrats are hiding 1t for

The sour faeer woman laughed. THE

Then she went back to the guard
room. and the girls, with the food on
the stone seat before them ate to-
gether. Occasionally they broke into
forced laugh, as though they were
obliged to be merry.
When the meal was over. the first
honest meal either had tasted for
weeks, they were content and at peace
with the world as they strolled off
the wood.
This was part where the mob did
lid not penetrate and the silence hung
heavy. A path led to a little gate
that opened into the greater park. As
they moved along the shouting of the

crowds was again heard and soon be-
came distinct Suddenly they found
themselves in the great central avenue
and face to face with the thousands
who had been waiting there all day.
Now. not only women, but gangs of
men, unshayen and uncouth, were
gathered there in boisterous groups
Food and wine had been distributed in
plenty. and all thought of the distress
in the great city of Paris was forgot
ten. The mob gave itself up to riot
Gus gluttony. There was laughter and
rude jokes. Those who had taken too
much of the wine burst into drunken
revelry of dance. Some one would
give them push and they fell, and
those around screamed with mirth.
shudder ran through both the
girls. They saw to what an awful pass
the women, who had marched out Oh
Paris only last night. had come to.
Faces were pale and shrunken There
was no blood in the lips. but the eyes
were bloodshot and shining like the
eyes of animals. They were unwashed.
Their hair hung in rough and matted
knots about their neeks. Their
dresses were torn. No one was caring
for the morrow All were madly and
hilariously happy in the present.
And yet through it all we're the rough
good nature showing that the distress
and pain of the past months had read
lily been forgotten.
Juliette took Louise by the hand and
moved quickly to the very centre of
the scene of disorder.
Some folk had settled down to camp
for the night, and already piles of
wood were blazing in the avenue. The
soldiers were still moving about with
casks of wine, giving to whoever ASK

Of cheering. Again laughter shook the
building. It was weird sight. The
setting sun threw crimson shafts
through the windows and illuminated
one side of the great hall with ruby
glow The pfnched. excited features of
the women were revealed in all ter
haggard misery
Lets pass law. some one shouted.
