A Memory.
BY COr.. CLAUDE DE HAVEN.
If he had come in tho early dawn, When HIP .sunrise flnubed the earth, I would havo given hitn all my heart,
What e'er the heart was worth.
If he had wmn at the noon-tide hour, He would not- have come too lati. I would have given him patient faith,
For then I had learned to wait.
jf he had come in the after-glow, In the plnco of the even-tide, I would have given him hands and brain.
And worked for bim till I died.
If lie coinos now, the sun is set, And the lifjlit l?as died away, I will not. frivo him a broken lile.
But will lurn and say him "nay."

He -o:ti3 iuto the neighborhood trusting- to chance to advance his interests, and C:I UKW had served him well, throwing into his way an ingenuous and malleable catspaw, in the person of Mr. Eustace Mervale. barrister-at-law. He was reflecting, with smiling complacency, on this sudden turn in his ''luck," as the •gamester invariably denominated any unfiisual event that concerned him, when, happening to glance round the cafe he observed that a, large group of workmen nomadic Bohemians, of no class whatever, was collecting round two or tLree tables on his side of the cafe.
The "Tilroe Blind Men" had an ugly *00k at that moment. Their guests were tuany, Rnd tierce, and voluble. Night was falling, and the twilight was solidified within the cafe by t.he rank fumes of two ecora pipes. Clement was not enamored the scene thus presented. Ho had an distinctive antipathy to large concourses, particularly when he was working incog\Uo but he contented himself with drawmg farther back into his niche, until M.
Jlioquard joined the party at the neighoring tables. Then Captain de Boisrobert pricked up Jiis ears, and began to wish that Mervale 'Would hasten and set him free. "•The cafe tloora opened again, and, "By fove! Zabrinski!" Clement groaned, in.likrdiy.

And he inclined an «ar towards the party, to gather, if possible, the subject of the conference. He succeeded partially—sufficiently to increase his uneasiness.
At first the conversation ran on political topics, and Clement had little difficulty in apprehending that those topics were treated in away that certainly would not have found favor with the powers that were, involuntarily as their origin might be.
Joachim, who was manifestly the intellectual leader ef the band, entered, announcing that an armistice was really being arranged that Paris woidd be occupied, the populace disarmed, and Trance generally "sold," as he denominated the operation of restoring peace to the country. The tale was cleverly told, and there were low murmurs of indignation among the audience as it was concluded. "You must see your committee to-night!" said Choquard to Zabrinski. "No arms must be given up. Rather light Prussians and French regulars in the streets!']
Whisperings ensued for a few minutes, and Clement caught nothing. Then a voice said, "Who replaced Lagarde?"
Joachim pointed out a working man, and exclaimed, "Poor Lagarde!" "N\e shall miss him sorely. You are sure, Choquard, that De Boisrobert plaim«d that skirmish wilfully, knowingly?" "Sure! Ask Zabrinski. The Captain acted in opposition to all the other officers and, heaven knows, the folly of the expedition must have been patent enough, if they could perceive it!" "The scoundrel!" muttered Zabrinski. "The type of the traitors who have led

De Boisrobert's name was added to a long list, which the journalist drew from his pocket, and to which many of the workmen in turns contributed paragraphs.
At this moment Mervale entered, and sat down at l)e Boisrobert's table The eyes of the conspirators were fixed upon them. Choquard in particular, studied them with a prolonged and penetrating stare, that made Clement hurry over the completion of his business. "I can answer for the last comer," whis pered Joachim to Choquard. "He is a friend, and an honest man." "You have the papers?" whispered Clement. "Ay," said Mervale, and innocently laid them on the table in full view of Choquard and his companions.
Clement seized the documents, and placed them within his blouse. Mervale proceeded to describe to him the circumstances under which he had ob tained the packet, Clement listening impatiently, yet afraid of arousing his companion's suspicions by hastening his departure.
At last, Mervale rose to go. Clement would have accompanied him but Choquard, leaning across an intervening table. graciously asked "the citizen to drain a glass of wine lo the Republic, Democratic and Socialist.
Clement dared not refuse. To have done so would have been to excite an immediate quarrel, in which his disguise must run terrible risks of being pene trated.
Mervale left him drinking to the Republic. "Are you oi the Belleville committee?" said Choquard. "I fancy I remember your face." "No," answered Clement, coolly "I am from the provinces—from Marseilles." "Bother the provinces!" ejaculated Zabrinski. "We have been saddled with th-iin tao long. Paris is to be free, citizen, independent. The rule of the petty landowners, the rule of the country priests, shall be at an end. Communal government, equality in person and in property!"
This vague programme met with universal assent. "Ay. ay! There's the remedy!" said Clement, looking towards the door, and rising to depart. "Not yet, citizen," said Choquard. "Another glass!"
Clement essayed to excuse lnmselt. "You can't—you can't!" exclaimed sever voice*. It's to the Future we drink it's '.o the New Society, the Federation of tn« World!"

C'cment drank. His pulse beat xevcrishlv. "What is your battalion?" inquired Choquard, peering into his face. "The lloth," said Clement, at a venture. "Oh! you're better officered than wo arc.'' "He exchanged a few whispered words with Joachim, and continued "But how came you here? The 113th is with Ducrot, out of Paris."
Clement looked hastily round. He di-
V.Y vined the meaning that underlied these questions. He saw the trap forming round him saw fierce, menacing faces turned towards his. "Wounded—a fortnight ago—on sick leave!" he stammered,
With a swift, tigerish movement, Choquard tore his cap from his head. "A spy, citizens! A spy!" he cried. "Clement de Boisrobert!" yelled Zabrinsfki.
Clement had not time to rise. His chair foil back, fingers were clutching at his throat. A knife Hashed in his face.
Then a clinking of arms without—the hoarse voice of a sergeant, crying. "The patrol! In the name of the law, open!"
The cafe darkened in a moment, 'rim fmisniratora left him there
The conspirators left him there on tho floor, rushed swiftly, yet quietly into a back yard and when a sleepy waiter opened the street door, the cafe was empty.
Clement's appearance and position proved him to be anything but a friend to the revolutionary plotters.
He rose, and pointed out the road by which the conspirators had escaped, calmly and reservedly, however, for he did not care to be confronted with Choquard and Zabrinski in an official inquiry.
But, putting his hand to his breast, he forgot all prudential reasons, became suddenly furious, and sprang forward on the traces of the fugitives.
The hard-earned papers had disappeared, unused, unread,
CHAPTER XVIII.
BEFORE THE WEDDING.
Juliet Summerson holds her triumph in her hand. No blow, from truth uprising, or accident blindly intervening, can shake it from her grasp. The web of plots and falsehood has been woven tightly, despite the adverse fret and fight of circumstances, and the prey is assured.
This is her marriage morning, ushered in by the rumbling of cannon and cries of armed crowds, dawning in famine, defeat, and incipient anarchy—a marriage morn such as the Belle Amencaintfs schemes should rightly culminate in. The upright, sensitive gentleman who was to reward mock devotion with real respect and love, wealth and social rank, had taken to heart Clement's warning. It irked his delicacy, perhaps his pride, that a woman should

Csesar's wife,even before Caesar
espoused her. He intimated to his doctor that the marriage must take place in less than a month. And then the old man nerved himself to conceal or attenuate his bodily weakness, to cry "Better," with a firm, full voice of health, whilst an inward gasp and tremor said someihing that meant "Death." He forced himself to appear hale and robust, when he was scarcely yet convalescent. And the part had been well played. Juliet may have seen through the pious fraud, but she knew better than to unmask it. The doctors were deceived, and it was with their sanction (would the Belle Ameripaine have consented without?) that today was fixed for the marriage. Only the ceremony was to take place at the Hotel de Chayolles. The Comte doubted his strength, and so pretended that a private marriage befitted the disproportion of years between him and his bride.
The bride herself seemed scarcely in bridal humor, as she lay back listlessly on a sofa in her dressing-room.
The snuill excitement of dressing was over. Juliet was always too sure of herself and her instinctive taste to feel a very intense interest in toilet matters. And today she had insisted on wearing the simplest costume, in harmony with the coming event, in direct opposition to her mother, who considered that the occasion of hacoming a Comtesse, and mistress of a rent-roll of thousands, should be celebrated by an Oriental magnificence of adornment. So Juliet had not even that final, feminine,- inexhaustible consolation—the consolation of looking one's best under adversity —and, despite the rent-roll and the coronet, she seemed sorely in need of consolation. "It isn't 'pretty,' he would say," (she thought), "it isn't 'pretty.' I think his meek morality would go so far as to call it apiece of black, barbarous treachery. And I'm not quite sure lie wouldn't bo right. Francisque, Francisque! I wonder if he would have made me true, and tender, and uiiseliish—the synopsis of all Solomon's models far above rubies, clothed in scarlet. No I should always have been open to the scarlet—it's becoming to fair complexions but I am decidedly not. above rubies. Heine was the wife he needed. I could never have borno his Oh, my love—my love!"
And sli!f wailed the words in an undertone, and pressed her face against tho cushions. "Well, well," she muttered, after awhile "here's an end to it all—the dreams I was better for dreaming, tho deeds I am worse for having done. Oh, to have money eternally within reach!—lo never think about it! It's the thinking of it that •poisons most minds! To owe nothing and give much!—there must be as much happiness in all that as in the most successful love-match. It must be easy to be good with all that, lio matter what the moralists say. And I'll try. The old man shall die a happy dupe, i'lt look after Reine. I'll drop——" "M. de Boisrobert," announced a servant.
the Prefect of the Seine." "Right the man must be watched and
1
bribed. From what 1 have heard of him, I don't think he shares Eugene's juvenile
1
scruples as to the sale and purcmi.se of valuable secrets." "No. In the meantime, you don't put off the marriage.'" "No, no. There's always the widow's mite in perspective."
At this moment, the door was tapped discreetly, and a woman's head protruded itself when the permission was given to enter—the rotund and overgrown head of Madame Michon. "1 have told you several times not to prosent yourself iii that fashion," said Juliet. "It savors too strongly of the concierge presenting a notice to quit, or a summons for the rent. When 1 took you and your husband into my service, it was in order that you should become respectable servants. "Madame may be certain that we shall meet her wishes. We haven't forgot Madame's kindness "Oh! alter that affair at the Rue Caumartin/" said Clement, laughing. "It TOW rather high interest, eh, Madame Michon? Forty francs for a loan of titty, and a counterpane thrown in!" "Oh, sir! who was to foresee that the chit of a servant-girl would complain to the coinvii.waire—tell all about Michon's little trade in the house—and get us turned out in our old age?" "There! there!" said Juliet "what is your errand?" "M. the Cure has arrived. Everytning'3 ready. M. the Comte looks splendid, mademoiselle—beg pardon—Madame la Comtesse "Not yet, Michon." "Oh!" it's only putting tho clock on ton minute^!"
CHAPTER XIX.
THK SIEGE OF BERLIN.
Juliet and her mother passed into the long drawing-room. A table had been decked as an altar. Tall candles were burning, and the odor of incense filled the room—half-darkened by jalousies for the Comte's error had not been dissipated he had not looked upon besieged Paris, and still followed an imaginary trail of conquest through German provinces.
He received his bride, her mother, his guests—there were only two, Clement and the doctor—gravely and with something like an ell'ort. A sleepless night had rendered him feebler than usual and it had needed some peremptoriness on his part to wave off the doctor's anxious inquiries.
The civil forms were gone through first the Mayor of the arrondissement, by special favor, attending at the hotel to perform tilceremony imposed by the Code Nnpohon.
Then ilioy stood before the altar, the Belle Amcricahie trai.quil and self-pos-sessed th- ol man stilt' and constrained, with his effort to appear strong tind h^le.

Slowly, sonorously, the Latin words fell from the lips of the priest. But a few sentences had been spoken, a few responses given, when Madame Michon slid into the room, and whispered in Juliet'#
Ca"A
gentleman is below, and insists on seeing the Comte." "The Comte can see no one," returned Juliet, rapidly, and dismissing the woman with a preoccupied air, as though she had heard nothing, and answered nothing. She turned again towards the altar.
The ceremony progressed. The acolytes were busy at the altar. Thin fumes of incense floated up to the painted ceiling, making a solemn cathedral atmosphere in the drawing-room.
Then on the monotonous intonations of the priest broke distant sounds of wilder, worldlier import, sounds of the war without, of moving multitudes and brazen marches, that disturbed the thoughts of those present, and sent a curious flush to the Comte's cheek.
Clement moved uneasily towards the window.. The religious element of the ceremony he was witnessing touched him in no way he was thinking.pf its material results, and of the possibility of those results being prevented or mitigated, even at that stage.
But nothing intervened. The noise of military music without became more distinct as the conjungo vos, that was to unite bride and bridegroom, approached. The syllables had just been uttered when Madame Michon reappeared. "The gentleman will not go without seeing M. le Comte," she said, softly.
Juliet motioned her away the ceremony was concluding, and Clement took the woman aside. "Who is lie?—what is ho like?" he inquired, with ill-concealed uneasiness. "He gives no name, sir. Ho is young—a handsome, upright gentleman. Rather haughty, but polite." "Hang his moral characteristics! What is he like, I say—in voice—face—figure?" "Tall, rather fair, blue eye?, small moustache looks rather weak and ill."
Clement looked seriously troubled for a moment but seeing that the marriage was nearly concluded, he knelt with the rest, and dismissed Madame Michon, saying, "Make him give his name. The Comte can't receive strangers."
They rose. It was over. The Comte led his wife to a seat, and Clement advanced and congratulated her in a few honeyed words.
The sound of drums and trumpets were near now. It was advancing, a wave of wild triumphant music, up the broad avenue of the Champs Elysees. "Whatis that?—what is that?" exclaimed the Comte, appearing to realize for the first time that some great national event was taking place without. "Oh, some regiment changing barracks," said Clement, lightly, but uneasily.
The Comte sat down beside his wife, and spoke gently a few fatherly words that proved his recollection of the conditions of their marriage.
1
Juliet laughed at the coincidence of name and thought, and in a moment, was herself again, la Belle Amerleaine, imperturbable, easy of manner and conscience. "You look rather sombre for such a glad occasion as this," she said, mockingly. "Glad, is it? It may turn out devilishly gloomy. Ls.gitrde hadn got the papers on him, firstly." "Since you say firstly, there's a secondly. What is it? "Reine was keeping them. I got a fool, who is in love with her, to obtain them. I held them in my hand, when Choquard, the Pole, all the revolutionary riff-raff, got it into their heads that I was a police spy, get "upon me, aud tho papers were v, res led from me in tuo row." "Well?" "Weil!" reiterated Clement, peevishly. "There's nothing to be done. In my first heat, 1 gav chase with the patrol but that wouldn't do. I know where the men I are to be louud but if they are seized, the papers pass into the hands of the police, and Choquard is less dangerous than
Madame Michon re-entered the room,
open-mouthed, astonished, almost aghast, The music grew louder without. I The Comte rose quickly, and walked towards the window, exultant. "Shall we not go down stairs now?" said his wife, persuasively, going to him. "Yes, yes. Let, me see first."
Madame Michon drew Juliet aside, and whispered in terrified tones, "Madame, it lis Captain Francisque Carayon."
She did not start or cry. Another pressing danger was before her. I The Comte opened the window, and drew up the jalousies. The cold winter sunlight, flooded the room, and with it entered the noise of triumphing legions that I warmed the old soldier's heart, that was as an intoxicating fluid imbibed through the ears.
He stepped on to the balcony. "I know what it is," he cried. "You wished to give me a glad surprise for my wedding-day. Berlin has fallen! The Emperor is re-entering Paris! That is our music—there flash our bayonets!"
And truly there was one long streak of light in the avenue, as fiir as the eye could I reach—the bayonets of the advancing army. I The doctor came anxiously forward, and endeavored to persuade his patient to quit the balcony. I "No, no,doclor Tarn tasting the best I medicine. This will make me well. Here 1 they come! What march is that they are playing,' Hurrah! we have whipped the IKaiser.icks home again!" I The Hash of the bayonets came nearer as these words fell in breathless interjections from the old man's lips. His eyes were weakened by age and sickness, and the doctor began to hope that nothing would be discovered. "Here they are! Here they are!" cried the Comte.
And he clapped his hands excitedly, as the first lines of buglers ueared the window. "Why don't they give the 'Marseillaise?' Sacre bleu! One's ancestry is all very well but on such a day as this it's the real old anthem of victory, after all! There are the Lancers—splendid men, dootor. Why do-s nobody cheer tlicin—bid them welcome, the brav fellows.' Oh, you young generation! You take things coolly—victory like defeat!"
And he peered curiously into the street. "Nobody at the windows! What does it mean? Let an old man give them a lesson."
The Lancers looked up. His voice was loud, and he v.as tho only spectator in all the broad, long avenue "Ay, look up, vies braves! Well done! J'ire la France! Vive la Fra-—Oh, what are ihey crying? German—German!"
He tottered, and looked closely at the passing troops. Then, with a shriek, "Oh, Heaven! the Uhlans—the Uhlans! Paris is theirs!"
A defiant yell of the "Waclit am Rhein!" and his body bent suddenly, and he fell back into the room. "Dead!" saiil the doctor, in a low voice, kneeling beside the prostrate form.
There was a hasty knock at the door. Clement caught Juliet's glance, and darted into an adjoining room.
The door opened, and Francisque Carayon stood on the threshold. "Hush, sir—hush! There is death in this room!" said the doctor.
Carayon stood amazed then, realizing the truth, hastened towards the Comte. The doctor interposed. "You can do no good here, monsieur. Speak to Madame de la Comtesse de Chayolles."
The young officer turned towards Juliet, and he saw that he came too la*
CHAPTER XX.
SAVING THE WIDOW'S MITE.
Francisque bowed ceremoniously. "I see, Madame la Comtesse," he said, gravely, but with a significant ring in his voice "that my poor friend lived long enough to achieve the dearest desire of his life °I dare not bid you draw consolation from that fact your sorrow must be beyon™ the reacb-ofsuch palliatiyes."
