"Ah she is Cheyenne Louise an
swered Paul, unappreciative of the Sit
uation. 1--WE have had long o.44, to-
day. How is it we have never met be-
fore? She is beautiful. when the
color comes and goes in her cheeks
she is lovely.
why did you cal her Louise?' re
peated Junette. with quiet insistence,
and ignoring what Paul had said.
These are times for quick friend

had known little Louise for years in
stead of one day"
Your friendship has ripened quickly
indeed" said Jurntte. with her eyes
still fixed on his face.
Sne spoke with difficult restraint,
/ but her breast heaved quickly.
Yes" said Paul, slowly, walking
from one end of the room to the other
and back again. Il was glad to be
able to be of service to her this morn
ing. You did not know the blind rage
| felt that so many of the National
Guard should have been unfaithful to
the cause of the people. But as we
came along this evening in the jolting
old cart of Leon Petitfls and Louise
told me of her troubles and of your
kindness to her, l forgot the cares and
vexations of these troubulous times.
All. | think that if you took Louise
with you tomorrow and let her plead
to the King and the Queen you would
get all you asked"
So he stumbled out compliments re-
speeding the little model. The pang OF
anger these caused to the nervous wo-
man, with feelings strained almost to
the swapping point, was like dagger
digging at her breast.
ITS a pity" she remarked, spring

into the eyes of her lover, that Louise
Chabrey had not been selected by the
women of Paris to lead them to Yer
sailles."
Paul halted in his promenade and re-
turned the fixed gaze OF the girl. The
swift consciousness came to him thai

their proper light Tomorrow, wher
you come to think clearly, you will see
dear. you are in the wrong. | know
you would have Louise and myself
friends rather than otherwise. But my
brave girl, you need rest" Then he
added. after a pause: Must you &c
to Versailles tonight? Are there mo-
enough women to plead without you?'
Juliettes checked flushed in reply
81 thought" she said. that some such
advice would come from you, you who
forsook the National Guard at the very
hour that it needed men, you who
promised affection to one woman anc
make love to another"
