pheming, and declaring loudly this time
of reckoning was at hand.
Some of the wounded had no friends to
tend them. They had crawled into the
shadows of the o~verhanging houses and
moaned for help. Here and there lay a
silent figure and no one to do it reverence.
They found Marie. She was lying, her
face in the gutter, her beautiful hair
mixing with the mire.
No sword had been aimed at her as
Juiiette had feared. The weakly girl had
found herself in the full rush of the
maniacal Revolutionists. She lacked the
strength to run as they ran. She had
stumbled, fallen. There was no one to
raise her. She was trampled beneath the
feet of the pursuing cavalry. The pant
ing little life had been pressed from her,
Now she lay ~motionless, her hair clothed
with mud.
Still Juliette uttered no cry. Paul lifted
the body carefully, afraid, it appeared to
waken the child.
Poor little Marie" said Juliette, with
a sob in her words.
Pau marched back carrying the dead in
his arms. No one locke his way. Othef
folks had their own cares that night.
Slowly he mounted the creaking stairs
again with Juliette following behind.
The dead girl was placed on the settea
where, only a few hours before, she haa
looked upon Paul sleeping.
1t was almost dark now. But the white
of the dead face showed clear and mys-
teriously. There was a quick reflection
of light in the room when the conflagra-
ton far off broke into a fresh blaze.
Still no words passed between the Wo-
man and her lover. The mai stood by the
window with his elbow on the easement

told of alertness, bravery, daring even

captivation of amer that would
make the casual onlooker in the street
turn and gaze after him.
But, oh, the danger you rum"
added Juliette.
Danger? There is no danger. But
if there were, what of it? What is my
life, what is anybody's life in the great
work of Frances redemption? The
work is being done. And the Bastile
has fallen, the black, horrible Bastile
has fallen: think of that"
Back, however, there came to his
mind the knowledge of the sorrow that
Juliette bad suffered during the days
Of his absence.
He took her hand. Tell me, dear
est, why did your mother die?"
81 think it was lack of food" she
answered, sadly.
Lack of food! My God! Do you
know that l have been %carousing, that
the doors have been burst in that held
the food from the hungry %populace of
Paris? Do you know that these last
ten days / have eaten as I have never
eaten before? And I never brought
any to you. to your mother, to little
Marie. See there!"
From his breeches pocket he pulled
| forth a handful of glittering gold coins
and banged them on the table where
they clattered. Some rolled away and
spun across the floor and were lost.
Gold, gold! Oh, have not seen
gold for so long. or, for so very long"
and the eyes of the girl were dim at
the thought Of the old dead mother
who might yet have beer alive if only
she had owned one OF these coins a few
short days ago.

it's the payment of an old debt; it's
been owing for years, for centuries,

CHAPTER II.

Poor France in those days was in a
FAD way. For centuries the reckoning
of the poor with the rich had been de-
layed. There had been rumblings I'M
foreground, and now the huge volcano
of national discomfort was blazing
forth.
When the first spark flew upwards
nobody dreamt of the consequences.
Nobody realized what would happen
when the flames of rage once roared
and the smoke of disaster and pillage,
antipathy and revenge, jealousy and
the striving for power, obscured the
blue sky of charity and goodness.
Least of all did the workers them
selves-those who were pent and
driven, starved and shot-understood
their power Of upheaval and w~reckage
when in despair they cast off the
shackels of oppression.
For years there had been ominous
warnings. Now when patience had
given way to a thirst for retribution
all Paris lay ready to the hand of the
spoiler.
Juliette Marigny had been stricken
hard. A woman of southern tempera-
ment, hot-blooded. passionate, her very
pulse quivered when she thought of the
woeful lot of women live herself but
lacking the strength to battle as she
had battled.
Paris was in a ferment, and had
other things to attend to than the
death Of an old So quietly,
but hurriedly-while the streets ratified
with arms and the shouts of revolving
men and groups of desperadoes were
at every corner, unshaven, desperate,
resolute-old Madame Marigny was put
away to the rest of the grave.
Juliette sat by the easement of the
darkened and high-perched room
where her mother and little Marie and
she had lived.
There was no going to market now.
The Market-place was the rendezvous
of the Municipal Guard-men with
quaint muskets and rusty swords and
reaping blades fastened to poles. There
were raids on monasteries, on the
houses OF the rich, on great stores,
everywhere that was likely to yield
food. Sometimes there was a debauch
and drunken revelry. The bonires
in the Market-place were huge n
scorching, and demoniac figures danced
in their glow.
In her grief Juliette saddened at the
sights she saw and the terrible things
she heard.
The tears and pain had brought a
delicate refinement to her c~ountenance.
She was at an age when the warmth
of m~aidenhood was upon her. But it
was hard to tell whether the dark
beauty that was hers would have been
more beautiful had she lived in con
tent and happiness.
Little Marie was now ailing, uncom-
plainingly languishing away. 1t stung
Juliette like a dagger that she had no
power to give help, nothing but a fond
ling caress and a sisters tears.
For hours she sat brooding, her
strong modelled chin resting in the
palm of her hand.
Often there were two tiny burrows
knitted tight between the eyes, cloud
ing the forehead and indicating that
sombre were the thoughts in her brain.
At long intervals her face flushed Grim
son and a strange light came into her
eyes.
Then she rose to her feet and, with
agitation, paced the tiny apartment,
her fingers twitching and her lips
working.
Some days passed.

TRICK OF VOICE.

how One Lawyer Keeps the judge ESora
Sleeping.
There is said to be lawyer in Phil
adelphia who possesses a trick of the
voice to which certain measure of his
success in United States Supreme court
practice is due. The trick consists in
waking judge. Whether it is conf
mon practice for the high dignitaries
of the federal supreme bench to in
dulge in a nap in the course of long
and tedious argument, such happen
ings are not unknown, and it is we'll
for an able logician Of the bar to be
prepared for it. The trick Of waking
sleepy Judge would seem to be some
thing in the nature Of slamming law
book under his nose or connecting his
personality with the current Of an
electric battery. But the trick is ex-
planned as purely matter of sound
involved in the skillful control of the
voice. 1t is said that barrister prac-
ticed in the art and rhetoric of address,
ing the bench can gather all the waves
of sound from his throat into focus
and deposit it in the oriflce Of the
Judges ear with the general effect Of a
bomb. The trick, however it is &C
complished, is said to have been worked
repeatedly with success on the late
Judge McKennan, whose habit of going
to sleep on the bench was once no
torious subject of comment in the liti-
cation over. the Berliner telephone pat
ents. This queer trick of the voice,
while it is said to be the peculiar prop
erty of one celebrated lawyer, is prob
ably attempted often with varying sue
cess by others. Philadelphia Record.
