while the balcony of the Hotel de Vile at it's southern end afforded an excellent pedestal on which the king and the beauties and gallants of his court could show themselves when ever an execution of especial impor- tance took place.
 On the day with which this narra- tive opens the morning had worn away until the sun with vertical rays beat down upon the heads of the spectators. There had been three instructive and successful executions thus far. The first wretch, was broken on the wheel. the second hanged. and the third torn to pieces by horses. The king and court party in the gallery mad departed after repeated half-suppressed ex- pressions of ennui at the end of this third act. and there remained but one poor devil of a nameless fellow to be dispatched by the knife.
 A raised platform occupied the cen ter of the square. About il was drawn up a double line of soldiers. some armed with halberds. others with mnskets. who kept the people from crowding too near. From the scaffold a narrow lane was kept open by a company of archers to a cart. on which the condemned had ridden to the scene of their execution. and on which they awaited in silence their turn.

ferret out something by which he could cause M. Bouquets downfall, I was employed to watch M. Colbert. He was too strong for us. You know the rest; how M. Bouquet was finally disgraced and confined in the fortress at Pignerol. Whether he be dead or no Gle bon Dieu rest his soul!) I know not. Colbert wished to be reyenged on me for having thwarted his plans so long, but could do nothing until hs got one, of his creatures, an inkeeper Feriol, to swear that I had tried to in- duce him to join me in plot to mur- der the king. This was excuse enough, so after five years imprisonment in the Bastille, I was sent to the galleys in the hope that would be killed. After three years of that life I escaped, was recaptured, and sent back to the Bas- tile. That was six years ago. They4 tried their utmost there to incite me to violence so that they could have new excuse to execute me. They dared not kill me without some cause. for many of M Bouquets friends are alive still, and wield sufficient power to make it hazardous for even Colbert to attempt anything like that without some shadow of legal right. They finally succeeded, however. A fellow prisoner, a feeble old man whose cell adjoined mine, was so ill-treated be- fore my very eyes that I grew reck- less and killed his assailant in my rage at their inhumanity Hence my condemnation and attempted execution today"
 e'Well done, mon brave," cried Tonti. Just what should have done my self. A feeble old man-sangue di bio! It makes by blood boil to think what my poor old father may be this moment suffering. He incurred the displeasure of the king and mazarin, and was imprisoned while I was away on my first campaign. No word can I get of him. No, not even the place of his imprisonment. An! Louis! Louis! you accept the oath of the son to fight for you, to die for you, and yet the nobler father lies languishing in some slimy dungeon, his services unrewarded, his very name forgot, Mon Dieu! and if it were not for my oath and my fathers last words to me that in the years to come the king would need the service of every loyal heartrand wrist, Il VOW by Saint Denis,I and the finger bone of holy Sainte Anne I saw at Rome, would try my sword whether or no it could pierce the stone you wear in place of a heart -Ha! I hear the sound of soldiers on the stairs. To work, Pompon, and may Saint Anthony of Padua carry us through in safety" a.-s
 A loud knock at the door and gruff voice crying, Open, in the kings name!" He hesitated, then began to sing. A second call, more peremptory than the first, followed.
 "Hola!" he exclaimed in loud tone, q believe I heard some one at the door. Entrez! whoever you are." And thus speaking, he turned his head and looked over his shoulder at an officer of the guards who stood in the door, way, while the heads of three soldiers were seen behind him.

CHAPTER I.

N WHICH A PRISONER ESCAPES
 AND A soLILoQUY IS INTER-
 RUPTED.
 The sun shone fair in France one bright June day in the year of our Lord, 1878, and the thirty-fifth reign of that Louis whom men called Great" And nowhere was the sun light fairer in the capital city, where the presence of conquering and pleasure-loving monarch and his be- wildering court attracted the bravest and gayest of all Europe.
 The streets ot Paris resounded on the self-same day to the prancing and paving Of war horses, the gay fanfare of trumpets announcing the return Of a victorious general from the Nether- lands, or the rumbling of the great coach of state as the king himself hurried on to take part in some fan tastic dance or ballet al the palace. stopping, perchance, at the cathedral door to offer thanks with all tru. loyal subjects and join in some great "Te Deum" sung in honor of another tattle won.
 Amidst such confusion the ordinary affairs of life and state went on as though naught but the humdrum plans of peaceful nation were afoot. People lived and died a natural death (oecasicnallyl; they ate, drank. and slept through it all The dead were buried and the living blest. much the same as they had been since first the church spire and the dark-robed priest had superseded the old savage faiths Even the miiistUnes of justice tthat Is to say. ths kingl ground silently and with their accustomed fineness. while tbe ax. the rope. and the wheel did their kind work in sending prisoners Of state to country where. lettres d" eachet were unknown

Half way to his destination. he was halted while the lines of soldiery who had been driven together by the pressure of tte multitude forced the people back No one but the soldiers watched the prisoner. who. after glance ai the darkening sky. smiled grimly. then watched keenly the turn of events

pleasure of the king or one of hi creatures.
 On the outskirts of the crowd, not far from the cart on which the re- maining unfortunate sat, stood small group of spectators conversing in tones so low that the nearby soldiers could not hear them.

 The man addressed scowled at the armed men guarding the prisoner. and muttered: Devil take them!" Then turning. he replied in a low guttural voice "They say yon fellow is no criminal, but has been bounded to the galleys and the Bastille. and from the Bastile 10 the block by the hate of my Lord Colbert"
