 Five years lctor, in the court room
 ps the OlG Bailey in London, a young
 Frruchmau Was on trial for his life. Near him sat an uutdy loasing indi- yiJlual by the name of sydney Carton. With his eyes fixed on the ceiling, he
 was rrogSrryaut, apparently, of all that passed around him; but it was he,
 who. first noticing the extraordinary
 resemblance between the prisoner and himself. rescued Charles parnay from
 -he r.yh of deceit which had been spun around him.

 any trace uf his past insanity could be detected. The sweet face of Lucie
 Manette soou won the hearts of both
 the young men, but it 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
