CHAPTER III.

The gray was flushing with rose
tints from the coming sun when a
loud knocking upon the entrance door
aroused the soldier on guard in the
hall.
open the door!" voice shouted
peremptorily. "Tatro! Pierre! A
thousand devils! You fools inside
there, open the door, say!"
The disturbance brought Greloire
from his improvised couch at the rear
Of the hall; and climbing the ladder,
he pushed his head through the bro
ken window for a sight of who might
be outside.
"Who are your" demanded the
young man standing before the door,
his voice indicating surprise as he
looked at the face of the soldier above
him.
THAT is what I should like to have
you tell me of yourself, m'sieur," an
swered Greloire, in his usual dry man
ner, his not over friendly eyes noting
the details of the attire worn by the
arlstocratically clad visitor.
"Dame!" now exclaimed the latter,
evidently more angry than before.
What business can it be of yours?
Who are you, that dare cavil over
opening to me the door Of my fathers
house?"
HE is but one; and there are two
OF us to handle such cocksparrow
as | could easily overcome alone, with
one hand" said Greloire scornfully,
as the bars fell, and Etienne entered,
somewhat paler than usual, and his
hair and raiment disheveled from an
all-night's concealment in one of the
outbuildings of the chateau.
Wishing to see the baron, In order
to press his demand for more funds,
the young man had, unannounced,
come down from Paris, and CHANGED
to arrive the evening before, during
the widest part of the melee.

He obeyed His Orders,

John was the new English butler In
the employ of Philadelphia family.
When John first came he was told by
the mistress Of the house that she was
always at home to her sister, who
was a frequent visitor to the house.
The sister in question was pointed
out TO John on her next visit, and
the mistress was satisfied in her mind
that John would obey orders.
Every time the sister called John
would admit the welcome guest with
reverent respect. 1t was her custom
to ask him before entering II his mis-
tress was in, and 1t always happened
that she was, so John would nod and
profoundly bow her in.
But one day 1t happened that his
mistress was out when the sister
called. When John went to the door
she, as usual, asked IL her sister was
in, to which John nodded in the
Affirmative and bowed her in. Johns
business at that moment took him out
in the yard, and he left her IN the
parlor.'
Divesting herself Of her wraps, the
visitor began to look for her sister.
but seeing no signs Of her downstairs
concluded that she was on one Of the
upper floors, and went upstairs. OF
course, she failed to find her, and,
thinking that the butler might be
mistaken, went downstairs to inquire
of him again. She found him out in
the yard. and calling to him, asked II
he thought his mistress had gone out,
as she could not find her in the
house.

replied:

them.

ly barred door, listening to the wild
hubbub Of voices now close to the
chateau.
The lieutenant waited until there
was lull in the noice; then, raising
his voice, he called out, Have care

out protectors. I am an officer Of the
Assembly; and in its name bid you

could see no reason for his words. nor
for the mood which seemed to inspire
them.

sumed more calmly, and dropping the

small recess, wherein were a small

"That will l do with my lifel" Mar
got declared fervently.
1t was toward sunset that same day
when Jean came running in to an
nounce that he had seen soldiers rid
ing up the winding roadway that led
through the park.
Bidding the boy keep out of sight
until the cause of such visit could
be ascertained, Monsieur lie Baron de-
scended to the reception-room, where
the officer in command Of the SOL
diers soon presented himself, and de-
livered letter from Couthon, in
which the baron's hospitality was re-
quested for the bearer and his escort.
The fact was that Etienne, recently
angered by his fathers refusal to in
crease his already liberal allowance,
had, with characteristic villany, let
fall some insinuations impeaching the
latter's loyalty to the Revolutionary
cause; and the officer, who had been
ordered upon mission which would
take him several leagues beyond the
chateau, was instructed to stop there
upon his return, the object being that
the Committee might, from the man.
ner in which the baron received his
unlimited guests, form a better idea
as to his true sentiments.
Jean did not deem 1t wise to pre-
sent himself until the dinner hour
should arrive, but had passed the
time in questioning Margot and Tatro
as to the probable meaning of this
strange invasion Of the chateaus pri-
vacy. Then, going in to the dining
room with an unusually subdued air,
although his heart was fluttering with
excitement, the lads shyness evapo-
rated in glad shout at sight of the
officer standing before the fireplace,
where burning logs made cheerful the
apartment and warmed the chill even
ing air.
"Aha!" he cried, precipitating him
self upon his fathers guest, whose
arms went quickly around the boy

table, examining some papers found
upon the dead Fauchel; and consider.
ing this an opportune time to make
known her plans, she had turned
toward the door, when Etlenne's
voice, full Of its old-time arrogance,
came to her.
Jean, leave the room instantly, and
go to your bedl"
Margot paused in the doorway and
saw Jeans head raised with q bel.
ligerent poise. II will not go for you,
Etienne, when you order me in such
a rude fashion," he said, his voice
shaking with rage.
Uttering a vile oath, Etlenne strobe
forward, and selling him by the col
lar, dragged the boy from the chair
and began striking him.
Monsieur Etienne, do not you do
that" cried Margot. rushing toward
him. "Ah, mon Dieul How can you
have the heart, and at such a time

Jean was struggling in a wild fury,

Hold, Monsieur lie Baron" ne said,
distinctly and calmly. Il have the
right to tell you that you cannot thus
assert your authority in my presence"
Etienne, as once before. released
Jean, and turned to face the speaker,
TO whom the boy now rushed, cling
ing to him with a storm OF passionate
sobs, coming partly from anger, and
partly from bruised heart.
Margot had drawn nearer to his
side; and, as Jeans sobs ceased, the
three confronted Etlenne, who now
burst into loud. derlslye laugh.
What can a bastard. and the
friends and champions OF a bastard.

speaking deliberately, his pale face
distorted by malice.
Margot started Indignantly, an
angry fame springlng tito her eyes;
and the lieutenant said In low tone,
whose very calmness was a menace,
1T is scarcely the act Of a gentleman
to insult the defenseless and the
dead"
Insult" cried Etlenne. now letting
loose all the walls Of his hatred and
malignity. "Pestel How can he be

was no wife?"
