of leading to a belief in French successes without

Paris must be a military impossibility; and

They closed the gates of Paris on September 10,

Old FRANCHISE the housekeeper and Gilbert the
valet had told their tales of victory glibly enough
while the Prussians were away fighting upon the
frontier but sooner had the gates been shut
than their difficulties began and waXed greater

cOnSp1red 10 play TINS comedy or
imagined victory to the last act
None but Edmund Orlopp the English
doctor perceived clearly what dis
covery might mean and the price that
must be paid for it; and he had little
heart to speak of it to Dolores, lest
by speaking he should seem to reflect
upon that human sympathy she gave
SO freely When he could doubt no
longer that Paris would be besieged
and must fall, he put it to her that,
if Rohan recovered his eyesight, it
would go hard with him.
He is living on glory, Dolores-a
man fighting battles every day and
winning every one of them. He does
not realize his misfortune at all 1t
is always France, the Emperor, the
Army He asked me yesterday if a
blind man might learn to sit upon a
horse-I am sure it was in his mind
to ride in with the victorious army
upon their return from Berlin. How
are you going to keep the truth from
him when the Prussians come and the
gates are shut? He is recovering his
bodily strength every day, and one
morning soon he will be out with the
gossips upon the Champs Elysees, or
at the barracks with those returned
from the front Then he will know,
and his disappointment will be the
harder to bear.
She admitted that it must be so,
and yet confessed that she had not
the courage to undeceive him. 1T is
difficult to rob those you love of
their happiness, she said, and then:
Il do not believe that Pierre

drowned it in words. The
Vicomte de Rohan, unable
as yet to creep farther than
the garden gate of his silent
house, heard neither the truth
nor an echo of it. His friends,
warned by faithful servants,

and he returned to Paris, to his house the
Avenue Meurice such a shadow of his former
self that his own servants scarcely knew him.
The mans courage was remarkable To his
cousin, Dolores MoriZon the one woman in all
the world to whom he had spoken intimately
of his life and his ambitions, he frankly confessed
that he could live thousand years of darkness
if sacrifice would save the honor of his country.
Let no one pity me-" he said my country
has demanded this of me. Very well; but how
many have given their lives, how many live in
anguish that France may be glorifed? / have
no wife, no children; l know every board in this
house of mine Why should | repine? You will
come here sometimes and lead into the
shine. l shall have your story of the victories.
Do wear the Emperor's coat only on the Champs
de Mars? 1t is something to live; but it is more
know that your comrades are across the Rhine
and that they will be in Berlin before the New
Year comes. Forget that this has happened; but
come to me sometimes, Dolores. 1t would not
be the Paris if | did not hear your voice-and
you will never grow old; you will always be the
Dolores of my boyhood, for l shall never see the
shadows upon your face"
Dolores promised willingly enough; but her
woman's heart forbade her to tell him how far from
Berlin the French armies stood and how poor were
their prospects of entering that Prussian city
Beginning with the kindly evasions which desire
to spare him prompted, she discovered herself
presently aiding and abetting his valet Gilbert
and his old housekeeper FRANCHISE, in every kind
and degree of plausible and well-meant misrepre-
sentation. The terrible defeats the French armies
suffered at Forbach Gravelotte and finally at
Sedan read out of the papers as SO many
skirmishes, temporary checks striking
successes In this art Dolores naturally exceed,
for the valet had vast imagination and invariably
killed hundred thousand Prussians when he read
the news; while the unfortunate housekeeper was
reduced to the necessity of confessing that she
could not read at all and of declaring upon every
occasion good bad or merely Indifferent that she

the war with Germany, but no
oath which then appeared so
safe to swear as the one uttered
by Pierre, Vicomte de Rohan.
Il will shoot the first Prus-
sian who enters Paris-and then
myself" he had said dramatically.
1t was entirely French, and alto
gether heroic. Younger officers of
the Hussars which the Vicomte COM
manded leaped to their feet at the
Cafe RiChelieu where the words were
spoken, and also swore to shoot the
first Prussian who entered Paris,
which made it evident that, who
ever the unhappy man might be-
his Partisan experiences must prove
far from pleasant. 1t remained for
the proprietor of the cafe to pay for
the broken glass and, being a German
who denied his nationality, to say
apart; There will yet be a famine
in bullets"
Now, this pretty banquet of oaths
had taken place in the first days of the
war, and the morrow found the
VlcOmte on the way to join Mac
Mahon's army and to show the Pari-
slams how easy was the road to Berlin
and how quickly the journey might
be accomplished, A splendid soldier,
Rohan greatly distinguished himself
at the Battle of Worth and took part
in that famous cavalry charge which
was one of the finest things of the
war At this point. however, fortune
deserted him. A fierce sl,irmish with
Uhlans found him dragged from his
horse and a revolver fired almost
point-blank into his face. The bullet
SCARED his cheek; the powder blinded
him. a brother officer CALAMITY led
him to place of safety; but the sight
of his ewes was lost forever it seemed:
