whom she gave her love.
And SO that interview between I1ucie
and Sydney Carton has Il pathos that
wrings our hearts. He knew that even
if his love could have been returned. it
would have added only t" his bitter
ness and sorrow, for he felt it would
have been powerless to lift him from
the slough of Selfishness and Sens,l-
atty 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. Ny last supplication is this:
Think now and then that there is a
man who would give his life to keep
a life you love beside YOU
But dark days were TO come. In the
year 1879 the dowutrodden 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
fail victims to the tyranny and lust OF
the cruel nobility and from thar time
her life had been devoted to revenge.
Three years of crime and bloodshed
passed. and in 1892 Mr.. Jarvis Lorry
and Charles Darnay landed in Paris,
The former to protect the French
branch of TelEson K Co. and the latter
to hefriend an old family servant who
had besousht his help. Not until they
lad set foot in Paris did they realize
into what caldron of fury they had
plunged. Mr.. Lorry. on account of his
business relations. was allowed his
freedom, hut Darnay was hurried at
once to the prison of La Force, there

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
Eyremonle
These tidings soon reached London,
and Dir. Manetre, with his daughter
Lucie, fastened to Paris. for he felt
sure that his long confinement in the
HaStile would win for hin the SYM
pathy Of the French people, and thus
enable lHH 81 save his sou-in-laW.
Days aud months passed. and although
the Doctor succeeded in gaining q
promise that narnay'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
the influence Of the hlood,hirsty
Madame Defarge. Also, there had been
found in the ruins IF the Easfie Il pa

count of his own abduction and i'm

and their descendants, who We're 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-fo
hours"
To sydney Carton. who had followed
his friends to Paris, came an inspira-
ton. Had he not promised Iucie that
he would die to save &, life she loved?
BY bribery, he gains ad,nittance to the
prison; Darnay Is removed unconscious
from the cell. and Carton sits down to
await his fate.
Along the Paris streets six tum-
brts are carrying the days wine TO Ia

man With his hands bound As the
cries from the street arise against him
they only move him to Il quiet smile as
he shakes more loosely his hair about
