Apollo's bow not always strung Joliet's self-possession wu shaken. The terrible c&faatrophe she had just witnessed —new anxieties born of it—her bidden love—her fear of the young man who faced her,—all made her forget the frigid courtesy that was her normal mask. "You are right, Captain Carayon my grief requires no consolation, but it requires solitude. May

inquire in what

tny husband could have served you?" "Oh, in nothing," said Francisque, studying her face attentively. "I wished to serve liira. My errand was one of simple courtesy. He was a true, a valued friend of mine. I wished to assist at his marriage." "I thank you but now "But now," interrupted the officer, seeing that the Count's lifeless form had been carried away, and that he was alone iif the room with the Comtesse, have another errand. Where in Heme Lagarde, Comtespe do Chayolles?"

Juliet started. The blunt, soldierly form of the question struck her like a direct bayonet thrust, and Juliet was used to the polite fencing1 at genteel distances of the very best society. "Why do you a«k me that?" she said, in a voice she strove in vain to render tirin and indifferent. "Uecause I am convinced you can give mo the information." "You are misinformed—I cannot and if I coi)ld I would not, Captain Carayon."

It was a bold exhibition of her secret impulses, but she could not help it. "Madame I pray you tell ine what I want to know. It must be a matter of complete indifference to you—it is a matter of life and death to me."

He know not how fully he was revenging himself. "Indeed!'1 murmured Juliet and the hot tears welled in her eyes.

Francisque was surprised but, thinking he had touched her, he continued, passionately, "I have been through the jaws of death to reach her. An infamous wretch, whom I am ashamed to have called friend, denounced 1110 as deserter or traitor. I was tried yesterday by courtmartial, and acquitted. A gentleman who was my second came forward, and testified to the reality of. my duel before the Beige. 1 have been seeking her since yesterday evening, and, in despair, I came to you. Will you not help me, inadame? You cannot hate me—1 am blameless towards you."

Dlaineless blameless but 0I1, so blind!" said Juliet,excitedly. Then she added, abruptly, hardly, "I know not whore she is. I care not for your loves. I have other tilings at heart than the union of virtuous young seamstresses in distress with Quixotic captains of cavalry."

Francisque's face flushed crimson. He rose, took his hat, bowed low, and, without a word, retired.

All that day Juliet sat dreamily, drearily beside the bed where the figure of her husband lay, rigid and calm. She felt little sorrow, but superstitiously wished to

Her droains were not of him he had never been, in Ohis life, aught but means to an end—a cog in the great mechanism that was to raise her above the necessity of thinking of weekly bills, and scheming to save money to pay them with. Her reverie was •"Francisque. She saw the panorama of her past life, which he would shudder to ibehold the vision of the future, in which lie

could have no place. And for a moment the worthlessness of what Bhe had

gained impressed itself upon her with ™rd

J5ut moment :n« these were of short duration with Juliet. Physically: and morally, fho was aver.*5 th. lauguor of inaction, the vanity of vain re(lection.

She rose in the evening with tlio sense that something remained to be done that, worthless or precious, her end was not yet attained. And then passing into the room where the Count's privato papers were kept, she opened an escritoire, drew forth paper, pens, and an engraven seal, and wrote slowly and carefully, studying at-j tentively, from time to time, a written paper at her elbow.

The work must have been difficult and delicate, for she copied and re-copied the original draft, patiently and minutely, until each letter must have been present to her sight, even when hor eyes closed. At last she rose satisfied, burnt the dozen' copies she had made, and retained the 1 last folded in her hand. I

She rang the bell, and told Madame Michon, who appeared, to bring her busband up in such a way that his coming should be uuperoeived.

In a few moments the ex-concierge stood before her. "How much is your silence—I won't say your conscience—worth?" she inquired calmly.

The man and woman looked at each other foolishly. ••What does madame wish us to do?" said the female Miction at last. "See here! This is a will made by the Comte. before his marriage. I acquire by it certain advantages which I need not specify. II« omitted a slight formality— the signature of witnesses'. Will you be those witness—ye* or no!" ••What. madauie proposes is dangerous," said M. Miehon. hesitating, "lias madame nothing to add .'" "What price do yon put upon yourselves?''

The honest couple held a whispered conference for a few moments, then Ma•dame Miction said, softly, "We should be able to retire, and setup a little business in the wi:ie-shop line, with our small savings and ten thousand fanes." ••See here! A clause of this will leaves you fifteen thousand!"

M. Miction appended his signature immediately: and, after verifying the clause that concerned them, liis wife followed his example. "Now." said Juliet, locking up the will, "pray don't consider thivt you have the

The sight that met him at the Hotel dc Chayolles awoke him in a moment. Thenceforth he became again the active, determined soldier whom African campaigns had taught to docide in a moment —an'" to make no difference between decision and action.

Still, on leaving the Hotel Chayolles, he felt somewhat aimless1. Reine had said that she could explain everything. He could form no idea of what the explanation would contain, but he would hear it at all costs and something within him added he would receive it gladly, unquestioningly—no matter what it might be. 13ut how to arrive at it—at her? What evil might not have befallen her—alone, helpless, in the great city, in the midst of war? He had heard of awful sufferings of sickness, ending in death, for want of the simplest necessaries of woman stricken down by famine and cold in low, damp cellars—their only refuge from a hail of bombs. Who could have saved her from euch a fate?

The question came to him again and again, and ho dared not answer it. Yet, as he retired, hot with contempt and indignation, from Juliet's presence, he felt hope strong within him, pushing him on-

wildermcnt seized him ere one could be put Into execution. At last he threw all aside, and pursued his inquiries without forethought and system, lie called at every mairic where relief had been distributed to the poor during the seige. He made the tour of the charitable societies, organized to remedy some of the private evila of the beleaguermerit. lie went from atelier to atelier, to the workshops of modistes and dress-makers, to seamstresses' agencies, to the centres of all those large Parisian industries in which female labor is employed.

Vainly, vainly, he sighed to himself, after days and weeks h:id been spent in the hopeless search. Then a dull despair crept over him. Day after day ho would walk aimlessly about the streets, so empty and dreary, since 110 face like hers passed him. He would roam from quarter to quarter, never heeding the black signs of civil war kround him from the Faubourg St. Antoine, where workmen scowled at him as he passed, clad in all the outward attributes of the hated bourgeois, to the Chaussee d'Antin,where bourgeois,dressed like himself, gazed anxiously from cafe windows, or asked timorously for news. What his life was in those dark days, he could never say. He seemed to have become a machine, to suffer and to wander.

One day he caught a glimpse of a little rese-colored streak at. the leaden horizon of his life. It was in a populous quarter. He was faint with walking, and entered a, dull, obscure cafe—the cafe of the "Three Blind Men."

A workman sat beside him at a table, intently rending a letter, penned, manifestly by a woman's fingers. The missive seemed old and worn, as though it had been studied many times, folded and unfolded as somo precious document, whose influence had been great on the receiver's life. That inlluence could scarcely have been happy, for after reading the letter^ twice, the stranger buried his head in hjs hands, and fell into a moody reverie.

The letter fell from his hand on to a

newspaper, which Francisque was just taking from the table. The paper fluttered to the ground. Francisque stooped to pick it up, and read on the floor the name, "Reine Lagarde." "That is my property, sir," said the I workman, fiercely snatching the paper from the ground ere Francisque could toucL it.

Francisque hesitated ft moment, could not trust himself to speak. At last he said, quietly, "I was about to

The expression of distrust grew more

indignities imposed upon him—his short imprisonment, the trial that was in itself an insult to a soldier of Franco he had passed through all this in a state of dreamy apathy, that proved his mind to be roaming—roaming to that brief, glad time of his early love, to the span of happy communion with the girl whom he was to make his wife. Filled by such memories, a young man's life is in truth little better than a dream its material duties are fulfilled mechanically, its accidents accepted indifferently. And ^Francisque heard, like one who walks in his sleep, his acquittal pronounced unanimously, received his sword buck again, answered the congratulations and anxious inquiries of brother officers.

Francisque's face brightened, as he said, "I think I have a clue now. Thanks —thanks, my friend! You have relieved me of a great trouble."

Mervale was rather surprised, but still congratulated himself upon his ingenuity in throwing the inquirer off the scent.

Francisque hurried olf to the Northern Station. "1 shall find her at Arques," he murmured, breaking out into exultant snatches of songs at moments.

At his lodgings an official letter was awaiting him. He scarcely glanced at it, but took some money, and hastened to the station.

There an unwonted activity reigned. There wero despatch-boxes in every corner, crowds of clean-shaven, oflicial-look-ing personages, booking for Versailles.

While awaiting his turn at the pigeonhole, lie broke the seal of his letter. It was an immediate recall from the Ministry of Y/ar. He was appointed to General Vinoy's stall".

Dazed and sick at heart,he gazed around him. What did the rumors—what did the crowds mean? He recognized a brother officer—a couftade in arms in Africa—in the throng, and went toward him quickly. "What is the matter? What is the meaning of all this?"—and he showed his recall. "Why, where have you been, asleep this last month, man cherf The mob is in possession of Paris we're retreating the Government has left for Versailles." "Oh, Heaven, I must go!" groaned Francisque. "Egad, you must! They'd shoot you like a mad dog in a day or two! There! do you hear that?"

Francisque heard warm, angry voices crying threats and insults from the station place, and the adjacent street.

He rushed instinctively to the train with his friend. The mob was forcing its way into the station. lie saw a press of figures in blouses, lie hoard loud, mocking cries. Choquard was in a front rankj and cried louder than. the rest. "Good riddance—good riddancer^The capitulards!"

Fate had stepped between him and his love once again.
