aIity ,hut had engulfed him. But he could not resist this last sud cOnfes- sion of hiS love; and when she weepS at the sorrow of which she has been the innocent cause, he imploreS: Do not weep, dear Miss Nanette; the life l lead renders me unworthy of your pure love. My last Supplicatlou Is this: Think now and then that there is a man who would give his lie to keep life you love beside you"
 But dark days were to come. In the year 17S9, the downtrOdden French , peaSunJry turned upon their oppres- sors. The streets of Paris were filled with crowds of people whose eager cry was for blood" Madame Defarge no longer sat behind the counter of her small wine->hop silently knitting into her work the names of her hated enemies, but axe in hand and knife at her belt, headed a frenzied mob of women on 10 the Bastile. The French Revolution had actually begun. Madame Dcfargc was one of the leading spirits of the Revolution. Early in life she had seen her family fall victims Jo the tyranny and lust of the cruel nobility and from that time her life had been devoted to revenge. Three years of crlmc and blOUdShcd passed, and in IT92, Mir. Jarvis Lorry and Charles Duruay landed in Paris, the ttvmer to protect the French branch ct TcllsOu Ss Co.,, and the latter JO befucud an old family servant who . had 0csuIght his help. Not until they had set foot iu Paris did they realize into what caldrou of fury they had plunged. Nr. Lorry, on account of his business relations, was allowed his freedom, but Daruay was hurried at once to lhe prison Of La Force, there go await his trial. The reason given for ,h, outrage vas the new law for the ar.,s. of all returning French emi-rantS. but the true cause was that he had been recognized aS Charles Eyrrmoude.
 Tl.>u lid.ugs soon reached London, and pw NaurJ,e, with his daughter Lucl.. haSt1usd to Paris, for he felt sure that his long confinement in the EaSuic would win for him the sym ralhy of the French people, and thus enable him tu save his s0n-in-law. Lays and months passed, and although the Doctor succeeded in gaining a promise that DUnayS life should be spared. the latter was not allowed to leave his prison.
 At laSt came tine dreadful year of the Reign of Terror. The sympathy which at first had been given to Dr. Manrttc had become wcakcncAthrOugh the influence of the bIoodthirsty Madame Dcfurge. Also, there had been found in the ruins of the BaStilc a pa per which contained Dr. Manette'S uC- count of his own abduction and im- prisoumcut, and prUuouuCing q solemn curse upon the House of Eyremonde and their descendants, who were de- claryd 10 be the authors of his eighteen years of misery. Charles Darnuy's doom was sealed. Back to the Con- ctcrggr!e and death within twenty-four hours"
 To Sydney Carton, who had followed his friends to Paris, came an inspira- ton. Had he not promised Lucie that he would die to save a life she loved? By bribery, he gains admittance to the prison; Duruay is removed unconscious from the cell, and Carton sits down to await his fate.
 Along the Paris streets six tumbrils are carrying the days wine to la gull lotinc. In the third car sits a young man with his hands bound. As the cries from the street arise against him they only move him to a quiet smile as he shakes more loosely his hair about his face.
 Crash 4 head Is ne!d up and the knttting-womon who are ranged about the Srah'oll count "One."
 The third cart comes up and the sup. posed Evrcmonde desceuds. His lips move, forming the words, "a life you love"
 The murmuring of many voices, the upturuing of many faces, then all flashes away.
