Rougane departed confident Of
soon returning, leaving them to
await him with the same con-

one another. the night closed in,
bedtime came, and still there
was no sight of his return.
Early in the morning they were
awakened by a din OF bells the
tocsins OF tn sections ringing the
alarm To their startled ears came
later the rolling of drums and az
one time they heard the sounds of
a multitude on the march. Paris
was rising.
Two women at the Hotel .Plou-
gastel still waited for the return
of Rougane, though now with ever
lessening hope. And Rougane did,
not return. The affair did not APP
