Plumet.
 Alarmed by the disturbed conditio
 of Paris, which threatened revolution and knowing that Javert, as well a Thenardier. who had escaped iron | prison. were hunting him. Jean Val. l jean had determined to leave France forever and seek haven of safety in England. He had already removed from the Rue Plumet to an apartment which he kept in the Rue del'Hom- me Arme when Marius returned to the garden. The trysting place was desert ed. While he bewailed his fate in frenzy of despair there appeared | among the trees a dim form, appar- ently that of a young laborer, and a voice said to him: Your companions await you at the barricade in the Rue de la Chanvrerie." Then the form vanished
 The revolution which Marius and his companions of the Cafe Musain had been plotting had begun, and they were fighting at the barricade as the attracted young man approached 1t. It was the revolt which broke out in Paris when General Lamarque was buried. in the second year of the reign of the Citizen King--threatening for while, but unsuccessful
 As Marius was passing through an unlighted street near the barricade Aic HtAIQ A VOICE C4ll ms name. ana. bending down, saw lying on the side- walk the daughter of the Thenardiers before mentioned, dressed as a young laborer. She had been wounded and was dying. It was she who had de- livered the message to Marius in the deserted garden and she had then run back before him to the scene of the conflict.
 Marius soothed the girls dying mo- nA tv Ala GNn anAA er him: Well, M. Marius, take your let ter" Then she told the young man how she had been wounded. She had seen a musket aimed at Marius, had seized the muzzle. and the ball had passed through her breast.
 Promise to kiss me on the forehead when I am dead,y said the girl. T shall feel Ht." Martus fulfilled the poor creatures dying request and from her dead hand took note which read: Well beloved: Alasl my father insists upon our going away at once. We shall be this evening at No. Rue do rHomme Arme.-Cosette."
 At the barricade Marius wrote a note to cosette saying his grandfath- CT had refused his consent to their marriage bidding her farewell and de- claring that he would die in the con- flict then raging. This he dispatched by gamin to the Rue de pHomme Arme.
 This note tn boy delivered on Jean Vatican. who had just seen. on Cos cites blotter, copy of the note she had sent to Marius, Without saying a word to Cosette, Vatican started for the barricade. The years in which he had worked so hard for his own re- generation seemed swept away. In his heart was hatred for the man who had come between his love and Cosette. form prodigies of valor and his re- sentiment began to ebb away. When the royal troops took the barricade Yaltean, with the rioters with whom he had mingled, was driven sinto an adjoining wine shop. which the reyolu- tionists held for some time. In that wine shop, bound and laying on a table. Valjean saw a spy who had been captured by the revolutionists. It was Javert. He had been ordered shot. and valJean claimed the privilege of being his executioner.
 Taking the man out into a deserted side street, ValJean fired his pistol ih the air and sternly bade his enemy be gone. When Valjean returned to the wine shop the royal troops were breaking in and Marius was lying badly wounded and insensible. Seizing the unconsciou@ form, Vatican carried it out into the deserted side street and then, hearing the approach of soldiers and noticing a grating at his feet, he pulled up the grating and descended with his burden into that vast laby- rinth which is the sewers of Paris.
 On, on he journeyed, bearing the young man on his shoulders. These sewers are like great arch-eovered streets and soldiers were patrolling them; for in them the underworld of Paris finds refuge.
 Narrowly escaping the patrols. Val jean finally came to grating where one of the huge sewers opens on the Seine. In the grating was door. but 1t was locked. Suddenly man came along the narrow ledge between the grating and the river, inserted a key in the lock and opened the door. It was Thenardier. and the sewers formed for him the lair which he shared with other desperate characters. He was escapinR from a police officer who had followed him along the street above in a cab and had seen him go down the bank and mysteriously disappear. The police officer was Jayert.
 Vatican. disguised as he always was now. and in the dim light. was not recognized by Thenardier, who mis- took him for some ruffian who had murdered a man and was now seeking to dispose of the body.
 Divide the swag with me and will let you out. Then you can throw the body into the river." said Thenardier. "Otherwise--
 Valjean gave the ruffian what he had in his pocket and the door was opened for him. He struggled up the bank with his burden and found him self fact to face with Javert.
 Inspector Javert." said Valjean. you have me. But. as gave you your life, grant mo one thing; help me car ry this young man home"
 Tn Marius's pocket they found a pa- per with the address of his grand father on 1t. Entering the waiting cab they drove there in silence and left the still unconscious young man.
 Grant me one thing more" said valjean. Let me go home for a mo- ment."
 They drove to the entrance of the Rue de PHomme Arme and dismissed the carriage. Valjean entered the house, leaving Javert outside. When hs came out again Javsrt had disappear ed.
 The inspector had walked to the river and leaned his arms upon the parapet. His world had crumbled around him. valJean had not taken his life when he had an opportunity. That was wrong. He had let Vatican escape. That was wrong He had com mitted aa offense for which he could never forgive himself. He had no fur ther desire to live. They found hfS body two days later under wash house, down the Seine.
