Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1901-03-28

VIII save you'll ! CHOOSE. uluSePpe
the spy Is quite another person than
Giuseppe the bakers apprentice. Mon
ey and influence both are mine now.
Besides, our prisons are examining with
too many hostages. Exchanges are
slow, and we need men. So. come,
have your sworn word?
"Never" burst from Henri's lips In
dignantly.
Throughout Hortense had remained
passive. Now she threw herself on
her knees, with clasped hands, before
the man she SO dearly loved.
"Oh, yes, yes!" she cried passionate
~. "For me-for your own precious
life! Anything for your life! Promise!
Swear! Here on my knees beg you,
Henriv' t.e...4
Her voice was broken with wild Sob
bing; her eyes were brimming with
tears. The young mans head dropped,
then raised desperately, while his eyes
flashed on the treacherous spy.
$50 be it, villain Giuseppe! give
my sacred promise as you ask"
The mysterious and convicting letter
was instantly torn into fragments.
Giuseppe had not boosted vainly. Two
DAYS later Henri Edouin was liberated
and mounted in the national guard.
For long time he found no opportu-
nifty of seeing Hortense. When at last
the lovers did meet, 1t was to realize
the greatest sorrow Of their two fond
hearts. AS the price Of saving Henri's
life Hortense had solemnly agreed to
wed with Giuseppe.
Ever memorable will be the 2Sth of
May, 1871, when the following procla-
nation appeared:
| INHABITANTS OF PARIS
| The army Of France came to save you. Paris is
| delivered Our soldiers carried, 1t o'clock, the
last positions occupied by the insurgents Today
the struggle is finished. Order, laDor ana security
| will survive
1 DE MAcMAHoN, Due DE MAGENTA,
Marshal Of France, Commander In Chief
Crowds and columns Of prisoners
were being marched to Versailles. The
prisoners camp at Satory was an
anomalous picture, even shudderful tc
contemplate.
A man with baleful eyes and snaky
lips approached one of the entrances tc
the stable pens. The prompt "Qu
vive" halted him.
Pardon" was the affable, grinnine
response, "but I am quartermaster
You have here, by great mistake, 6
good cousin of mine who will answer
to the name Of Henri Edouin. Be sc
good as to summon him to me. I an
not so great a fool as to ask his release
Just now, but would speak with him II
may"
Villainous Giuseppe, ever PREACHER
GUS and fearing that Henri might es
cape to annoy him in the future ant
jealous to insanity that the man shoult
live to whom Hortense was SO avowed
~ attached, had sought the prison
ers' camp with murderous intent. II
his bosom he carried pistol, and will
the weapon he was resolved to sla.
the rival he hated.
His speech at the gate was inter
rupted by savage cry.
A bronzed gendarme who was stand
ing near threw aside his musket and
!
quartermaster by the throat.
"This wretch lies" he vociferatet
excitedly. HE is Giuseppe Of tn
commune, Giuseppe the spy, who or
dered 40 Of my comrades shot. alon
escaped! I know him wellv'
A fierce struggle ensued.'
There were a flash, bang, and tn
gendarme dropped dead.
But simultaneously a musket but
crashed down through the skull o
Giuseppe The baleful eyes were dim
med forever.
1t would be difficult to describe tn
fearful pleadings Of beautiful Hortens
before the gentlemen Of the militar
bureau in Rue Satory. She knew an
revealed the trick which had place
Henri in Giuseppe's power. She toll
the story of her hearts sacrifice to say
her lovers life and his unwilling yielt
ing to the proposition Of his arch enc
my. 1t was an appeal to touch th
deepest sympathy of her hearers.
Henri Edouin was forthwith set 8
liberty.
He and his true Hortense were shor
~ afterward welded, and when Pari
had subsidized to comparative quiet oil
Jean Guileau gave a merry feast to tn
handsome couple.-Saturday Night.
