d Angoulene, and his parents, the king and

One OF the keenest sorrows OF Marie An

from her son, who was presently delivered
over to simon, brutal cobbler. The boys
sister afterward wrote:

was TO go to the leads Of the tower, be-
cause my brother went often on the leads
Of the tower on the other side. The only

he never rang, so greatly did he dread the
people whom its sounds would have
brought to him. He preferred waiting any
thing and everything to summoning his
prosecutors. His bed was not stirred for
six months, and he had not strength to
make it himself. For all that time he had
no change of shirt of stockings He might
indeed have washed himself, and might
have kept himself cleaner that he did, for
he had a pitcher of water; but over
whelmed by the ill-treatment he had re-
ceived, he had not the resolution to do so,
and his illness began to deprive him of the
necessary strength. He passed his days
without any occupation, and in the evening
was allowed no light. His situation af-
fected his mind as we'll as his body"
After the overthrow of the terrorists he
was apparently forgotten and was said to
have died in the temple on June s, 1895.
