rechon Of the drinking peasants,
nothing seems to matter now. Our
heads are SURE to drop, however we
act. Since the citizen patriots arrest
ed the citizen king and as many of
his citizen family rs they could lay
their citizen hands hands on. we citi-
zen soldiers of August the 10th have

T The traveller paused to drink the
wine which his 0 s.ponred out. then
he added in a lower tone:
THE Marquis de Dartigny-is he

"He was yesterday. You are Ago-
ing there, citizen?.you have news
OF his son? He was one Of those who
defended the Tul1eries, was he not?"
Then as Remy nodded over his glass:
News takes long to reach here. What
think you they will do with the que

For answer Remy took up.a knife
from the table, and, posing it horl-
zontally. let 1t fall edgewise on the
board. He rose with a little laugh.

Remy Paramount stepped out along
the unseen road, turning OF into q
narrower track, which, threading q
little wood, led to the bridge which
spanned the moat of the Chateau id
Granville, the conical roofs OF whose
towers he had seen above a clump of
poplars from the door OF the inn. The
mansion stood mysterious in the pale
light of the newly risen moon. its
white towers ivy covered and discol-
ored with age. showing faithfully In
the placid depths Of the moati where
lily leaves made green patches on
h surface n two swans seemed
to hang m~otionless upon the water.
h man crossed the bridge and
looked In at the little lodge Thanked
with its towers, tiny counterparts Of
those OF the building itself. A sleepy
servant took his message and a few
moments later Remy was ushered into
the great dining hall OF the castle.
Dinner WIS over, but wine and q
dish OF fruit still remained upon the
polished oak Of the long table. a
small fire had been lighted On ths
!, massive hearth and sho1e upon the
features Of an elderly man who rose
from an armchair a. his visitor en-
tered.
