IT< TWO days after the arrest at

ISfM5N1 turnkey of st. Lazare stood
G in the outer hall Of the prison
smoking his morning pipe Looking to-
ward the courtyard he saw the wicket
opened and a privileged man let in
whom he soon recognized as the chief
agent of the second section of secret
police.
"Why, Friend Lomaque," cried the
1ailer, what brings you here this morn
hg-business or pleasure?"
Pleasure this time, citizen. l have

find myself passing the prison, and 1
can't resist calling in to see how my
friend the head turnkey is getting on"
Lomaque's eyes were violently wink
ing, but he smiled Notwithstanding
with an air of cheerfulness.
How am l getting on?" said the
turnkey, shaking his head. "Overwork-
ed, friend; overworked. No idle hours
In our department. Even the guillotine
is getting too slow for u.s."
"Sent off your batch of prisoners for
trial this morning?' asked Lomaque,
with an appearance of unconcern.
NO They're just going" answered
the other. "Come and have look at
them" He spoke as if the prisoners
were collection of pictures on show.
The turnkey led the way to an inner
hall and, pointing lazily with his pipe
stem, said. "Our morning batch, citi-
zen; just ready for the baking"
In one corner of the hall were hud-
died more than thirty men and women
Of all ranks and ages, some staring in
blank despair, some laughing and Cos
siping recklessly. Near them lounged a
guard of patriots, smoking and swear
ing. Between the patriots and the pris-
oners sat on a rickety stool the second
turnkey, hunchbacked man, with an
immense red mustache, finishing his
breakfast Of beans, which he scooped
out Of basin with his knife and
washed down with copious drafts OF
wine. Lomaque's quick eyes deserted

pack of the groun-s-,. ------- -----
