Guixot’s parents were married by a proscribed Protestant pastor, and his birth was never legally registered. Ills father, who was an advocate. used his talent for public speaking in the interests of the persecuted Protestants and Itecame a marked man. After living for several weeks In danger of his life he was at last arrested, unwillingly enough, by a gendarme who knew and respected him. ••Shall 1 let you escape?” said tho man. “Are you married?” replied 11. Guizot. “Yes. I have two children." "Ami > > have I.” replied tho prisoner, but you would have to pay for me. I,ct us go on.” They went on. and M. Guizot died on the scaffold a few days later.
