cautiously climbed down the steep

1t appeared that Jeans words had
been only too true, for sentries were
posted everywhere and occasional
shots showed that they were awake
and alert Nobody could pass the

Her courage sank. but again she
saw before her the image of Pierre
starving and feverish. and she hur-
ried forward until the sound of voices
made her stop to listen. The French
sentrieS were not more than thirty
yards away. On hands and knees she

She did not look at the soldiers. who

Nobody paid any attention to
Lisette as she hurried along, but
people who knew the pretty
little seamstress shook their heads in
':ty. for the news of Pierre's capture
had already become known. She
hardly knew what she was doing;
her only thought was of him who was
now a prisoner in the hands OF the

A man on horseback came trotting
toward her. She raised her head and
called: Jean! Jean"
HIS BEST FRIEND.
The. man stopped his horse. but was
about to ride on again when he recog-

rein.
Where is Pierre?" she cried
"Surely you. his best friend, must
know where he is!'
IL did what l could. little Lisette,"
he said. I'VE got him safely out of
the hands of the Prussians yesterday.
Mon Dieu! How we rode. At last
we reached the river and found that
