not again. Won't you sit down, Messieurs? should
like to tell you this thing, because want you to
dash my clenched hands into that face of ghost.
AS for her, Messieurs, met her in Trest She was
of five daughters of beggarly Count. They all
wanted me except that particular girl; which, suppose
why wanted her. But she did she told; for
she married me, and brought my little Katrina to the
Chateau de Ia Braye.

What of it? loved her. Was not that enough? Can

utterly that slip of girlhood that fragrant flower Life
was in the circle of her thin white How wonder
full! And adored her passionatey, and refused her
nothing.
Il will show you her picture when take you into my

turn round and There is the blue of heaven in her
eyes, and its mystery, its depth. Her hair is fine and

soul to her without questioning, without
argument with myself. All! it is all
mistake to make devil with horns and
hoofs the central figure of our mythology.
He ought to be a woman, beautiful
woman with tender hands and inviting
eyes and alluring mouth. Why not2 Has
not that sort murdered more souls than
any other power? For her sake has not
the world broken every commandment
time and again? If you ask me who and
where is the demonic presence in the
earth, l shall answer that it lives under
the warm, the enervating, bosom of
caressing woman.
The Marquis became silent, rocking
his thin little body from side to side,
sitting with his legs tucked under him,-a
queer, an extraordinary, figure. The
francs tireurs had resumed their former
positions on the straw, and were listening,
especially d'Ormonde the author, with
interest.
"The poor little fellow is not more than
half mad" whispered Laporte, who was
cleaning his chassepot.
"Bah He is no more Marquis than
he is the proprietor of a chateau scoffed
Bordenave, rerolling round a sore foot
a fragment of Zouaves blue sash.
"Hush! Do not let him hear you,"
pleaded the author.
"He-he! am going to tell you good
joke, terrible joke, jest to freeze the
blood in your arteries" chuckled the mar
rator. Then he lapsed into silence again.
COUNT DAGOBERT, who had been
- cleaning his saber with handful of
straw, rose to his feet with commanding
gesture. And he said in a cold, naughty
voice, "This gentleman is the Marquis de
la Braye, certainly. | met him once; so
that am able to just recognize him now.
Also remember his marriage. We will,
if you please, treat him with honor" He
stepped to the door and looked out.
Nothing was stirring. The rear guard
of the German army was half league
away, and behind it desolation and the
deep trail of mortar batteries
And as Count Dagobert peered into the
gloom, family pale under the moon
struggling to free itself from the snow
clouds, he heard the trickling of water in
all directions, the weeping of the earth.
He reentered as the Marquis began
again.
