The 3lst Of
October,
By F. A. Mitchell

In the autumn of 1893 Charles Good
win, an American bachelor who had
been spending an evening at stu
dents ball in the Latin quarter Of
Paris, on his way to his Aotel in the
Rue Rivoli crossed the bridge leading
into the Place de Ia Concorde. Just
as he reached the fountain midway
between the two obelisks a clock in
deep tone struck the hour Of /.
Something like shudder came over
the young man. Perhaps 1t was the
loneliness. for the Place was deserted
that Is, at the moment. since this
central location can never be said to
b. deserted for any length Of time
even In the small hours Of morning.
Perhaps It was the contrast between
his surroundings and the gay scenes
he had just left, contrast heightened
BY his knowledge Of the history Of the
location where stood the fountain he
was passing. He stopped and unused.
During the reign Of terror where the
fountain is now stood the guillotine.
Every day a succession of carts
brought victims to this Moloch of the
revolution. At first the nobility Of
France were in process Of removal:
then when factions became jealous Of
ench other the party in power removed
those who were its rivals. For awhile
RObespierre was virtual dictator and
decided who should be executed. The
lenders of the Conservatives. the
Girondists. he sent after those of royal
and noble blood. Then a new faction
gained the supreme power and sent
Robespierre after the GirOndists.
While Goodwin unused there was nj
sound but distant cab rattling over
the stones or shout of laughter from
cafe on the Champs Elysees And
even then came at intervals the thought
that he was alone. But suddenly
he caught sight through the spray of
the fountain Of woman's figure on
the other side Uf the basin. Impelled
by curiosity he moved around to where
she stood. What was his establishment
to see one whose features indicated
that she was lady. Her dress also
bespoke her rank. The costume was

left her. but this would be deseFtion.
He could not bring himself to do 1t.
Fortunately cab came across the
bridge. When It arrived opposite the
fountain he ran out to call the driver
As he started the lady he was leaving
said:
"Now. there is none"
The cabman stopped, and his cab
was empty. Goodwin returned for the
lady.
She was gone.
All in SILVER. Goodwin got into the
cab and was driven to his hotel.
The next afternoon he walked out
through the Place de Ia Concorde. The
day was bright and the space was fill
ed with carriages and pedestrians. He
stood by the fountain on the exact spot
where he had stood the night before.
Had he been dreaming?
Three years later he was reading
history of the Girondists. The last
pages Of the book gave an account Of
how they died on the guillotine singing
the "Marseillaise." the volume of sound
growing less till the last one sang
alone. That single voice stilled, all
had persisted. Turning to the date Of

Of history. Goodwin noticed that it &C.
