l to England as q prlvaIe gentleman.
 eager to begin life anew.
 Sydney Carton was young English
 lawyer brilliant in intellect, but stead
 fly deteriorating through his life of dissipation, able to advise others but
 unable to guide himself, "eonscous of
 the blight on him and resigning hiln-
 self to let 1t eat him away"
 He and Darnay soon became ire
 quent visitors at the small house in Soho square, the home of Dr. Manette and his daughter. Through Lucie's care and devotion, the Doctor had al- most wholly recovered from the effects of his long imprisonment, and it was only in times of strong excitement that any trace of his past insanity could be detected. The sweet face of Lucie Manette soon won the hearts of both the young men, but 1t was Darnay to whom she gave her love.
 And so that interview between Lucie and sydney Carton has a pathos that wrings our hearts. He knew that even if his love could have been returned, it
 would have added only to his bitter ness and sorrow, for he felt it would have been powerless to lift him from the slough of Selfishness and Sensu- ality that had engulfed him. But he could not resist this last sad confess 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 Manette the life lead renders me unworthy of your pure love. My last supplication is this Think now and then that there is man who would give his fife to keep life you love beside you.'
 But dark days were to come. In the year 17S9 the downtrodden French peasantry 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 shop, silently knitting into her work the names of her hated enemies, but axe in hand and knife at her belt, headed frenZied mob of women on to the Bastile. The French Revolution had actually begun. 
 Madame Defarge was one of the leading spirits of the Revolution. Early in life she had seen her family fall victims to the tyranny and lust of he cruel nobility and from that time her life had been devoted to revenge.
 Three years of crime and bloodshed passed, and in 1792 MT. Jarvis LOrry in Do T-ic -he former to protect the French branch of Tellson x Co.,, and the latter to befriend an old family servant who had besought his help. Not until they dad set foot In Paris did they realize into what caldron of fury they had plunged. Mir. Lorry, on account of his business relations was allowed his freedom, but Darnay was hurried at once to the prison of La Force, there
 0 await his trial. The reason given for the outrage was the new law for he arrest of all returning French amigrants, but the true cause was that he had been recognized as Charles EyremOnde.
 These tidings soon reached London, and Dr. Manette, with his daughter Lucie, hastened to Paris, for he felt sure that his long confinement in the Bastile would win for him the sym pathy of the French people, and thus enable him to save his son-in-law. Days and months passed, and although the Doctor succeeded in gaining promise that Darnay's life should be spared the latter was not allowed to leave his prison.
 At last came the dreadful year of | the Reign of Terror. The sympathy which at first had been given to Dr. Manette had become weakened through thQ influence of the bloodthirsty Madame Defarge. Also, there had been found in the ruins of the Bastie pa per which contained Dr. Manette's &C., count of his own abduction and inl- Iprisonment, and pronouncing a solemn
 .urse upon .he House of Eyremonde and their descendants, who were de- clared to be the authors of his eighteen
 years of misery. Charles Darnay's doom was sealed. "Back to the Con ciergerie and death within twenty-four hours"
 i To Sydney Carton, who had followed l his friends to Paris, came an inspira- ton. Had he not promised Luce that he would die to save a life she loved? By bribery, he gains admittance to the prison Darnay is removed unconscious 1 from the cell, and Carton sits down to await his fate.
 1 Along the. Paris streets six tum- brils are carrying the days wine to la suillotine. In the third car sits young man with his hands bound. As the cries from the streetNarise against him. they only move him to II quiet smile aaf he shakes more loosely hfs hair abQ& his face.
