Juliet entered, and took hor place at the witness' table. A hushed murmur of admiration passed round the court. And, in truth, she was wondrously beautiful—grave, gentle, a reluctant and pitying witness.

She sAid, in answer to the Prosecutor's questions, that she was in the Rue St. Laz-! are on the evening when the Vereaillftia entered Pari?. Many hounes were on fire. At one of them she saw a young woman emptying a pitcher through the cellar gratings. There was a strong odor of petroleum on the xpot. That young woman was the prisoner.

The young officer appointed to defend Reine felt that h«» could do little against such testimony. Hi* defence was pathetic, but purely oratorical. The witnesses he could bring forward were few. Their evidence was of little use. The petrdeuse was already condemned.

No. One, at least, of the judges was not convinced. Major Carayon whispered to the President, and, with a stare of astonishment, the old, white-headed Colonel announced: "Major G'arayon leaves the bench. Another oflicer of his rank will replace him. Ho desires to give testimony in the prisoner's favor."

Then, only then, did Reine raise her eyes, gratefully, shyly looking at the lover who dared own hor after all that had been said of hor—after all that had been hinted.

Fnmcisqtie glanced at Juliet's seat, and, with a contemptuous smile, began the veritable defence of the accused. lie recounted her childhood, her life under the C'omte do Chayolles' roof. He pointed out that she had even endeavored to wean her brother from his reckless way of life that she knew Choquard but slightly, and that as her brother's friend. Mervale, as a gentleman, she had met at the Comte de Chayolles' house.

And then he said:— "You have advanced but one precise allegation against this lady, and on whose word does that rest? Let ine show you, gentlemen, I must speak to you of myself for one moment. Mademoiselle Lagarde has been, imd still is, unless she claims her liberty, my aMianced wife. And the Comtesse de Chayolles

There was mocking irony in his voice as he continued:— "I must toll you what she is. I cannot let any code of false chivalry, any mere drawing-room courtesy stand in my way. Tho liberty—the life, perhaps—of a good woman is at stake. 1 say, then, Madame de Chayolles, who has not been a widow six months, has honored mo with an affectionate preference of which I ain not worthy. Madame de Chayolles has declared this unfortunate attachment more than once. Gentlemen, I will be explicit. I accuse the Comtesse de Chayolles of having perjured herself, to satisfy the dictates of cruel feminine spite and jealousy. 1 produce letters addressed to me by Madame la Comtesse."

Tho sensation was greater than any had ventured to predict. The audience breathed hard and fast. It was better than the best of Dumas' dramas.

The letters were read. They contained passionate protestations they unveiled the writer's inmost heart, conveying distinct threats against Reine, should Francisque see her again.

The count retired but for a few minutes. The old Colonel rose, and, addressing Reine, courteously said, "Mademoiselle, we are unanimous in finding you guiltless. And we desire to express our regret that vile, calumnious representations should have resulted in so much pain and embarrassment."

Even a French audience cheered. And, without, the crowd took up the cry joyfully— "She is free!"

CHAPTER XXX.

TUB BEGINNING OF THK END. Sudden meetings, unexpected partings, all those dramatic situations which the novelist is usually obliged to compress into the story of six months, are few, and broken by a thousand and one formal incidents, in real life. Lovers are not torn asunder abruptly they are warned of the fatal moment's coming, and have time to prepare for it millionaires' last illnesses are not more sudden than those of paupers, and their wills are not more mysterious than their butchers' bills deadly feuds are not declared in a day they pass through many stages of com-inon-place bickerings, petty injuries, and trivial rages. Our joys and griefs come to us strained, filtered, as it were, through a layer of little events that attenuate the torrents. Where the novelist pours a cataract, real flesh and blood gets a trickle. "Were it otherwise, what numbers would succumb under happiness as well as under sorrow! What a series of electric shocks a life wojild be!

So, two or three days passed ere Francisque met Reine. A prosaic written order had to be made out by the court the Orangerie authorities required the fulfillment of certain formalities before they relinquished their pi Meiers. One does not leap from the dock into the street but retires with the gendarmes, guilty or acquitted. And Francisque, on his side, had duties which called him to Paris again and again.

They met, therefore, with i\ which was sober,if deep and sincere- The first- hot fit of exultation had passed, and quiet happiness had succeeded. Besides, Reine had just learned her brother's fate. She saw the golden future through a mist of

Francisque's first endeavor was to persuade her to become his wife immediately. "I would not have you slight your brother's memory," he said. "But, cherie, need we, in our position, bow to a mere conventional social rule? Does reason, does nature prescribe this waiting? Can you not respect and cherish the poor fellow's memory as well being my wife as you do now?"

She shook her head sadly. "And see, darling, there are other considerations. How can you live alone and unprotected with all this noise made about your name?" "I have lived alone before this, my Francisque, aud in a worse plight. Foi you don't know," she added, with an access of childlike cheeriness, "I am rich— at least, I am not poor. Marcus left this for me—see."

And she waved a packet of bank notes before his eyes. The Jew had escaped from Vincennes more than a month ago and was now in England.

Francisque looked almost pained. "I would rather your husband should take care of these matters than M. Marcus." "Francisque," said Reine, alarmed, "are you like the others—pitiless against them all. poor fellows, who were mistaken, perhaps, but who fought for a grand idea.

after all. Are you such—a soldier as that?" "No, no, dear," he answered, hastily} "not a soldier in that sense. I hated the work. I think my heart was half on theif side. Many of the men were fools and rascals, I know, but I am not quite so sure abont the cause. No it pains me that any hand but mine should be held out to help you." I "Mem ban Francisque^

The lover had his way. Two or three weeks afterwards, Reine and Francisque were married quietly and soberly, and the Major sent in his resignation to the Ministry of War.

They were living in seclusion, in a little country house near Paris, when a letter from

England'reached

them. It was from

Marcus. The member of the Commune had not lost sight of the object of his six years'labor. He had freed himself from I commercial dishonor the name of Gerstain was no longer anathematized in I Bourse corridors and bankers' back par-

lors. But his moral victory he had yet (o I achieve. Rehabilitation was complete— punishment had to be awarded. Reine I and her husband seemed to him tho most I fitting instruments. lie wrote, therefore, to the former, requesting her to take steps to assert her right to the Comto de Chayolles' fortune. He made known the story of the will, as he had extracted it from

Miction. Were that story substantiated —Clement being dead—Reine would inherit tho estate, according to the terms of the earlier will, deposited with the Comte's notary, and superseded by the document alleged to have been iorged by Juliet Summerson. "Oh, let us leave the money with her," was lieine's lirst exclamation. "We are rich enough we are avenged enough," she

added,

with a smile, "siii^e we are

happy together." Francisque had not forgotten the base denunciations by which Reinohad suffered, and ho did not echo the sentiments with great enthusiasm. Still he shrank from initiating proceedings that might have for effect to give his wife tho dowry of a duchess and nothing was done the lovers lived the life of their choice, and allowed their enemy to live hers.

But an ultimatum from Marcus reused them to action. The Jew announced that if M. and Mdine. Carayon delined to use tho information ho had given them, he would do so he would make them rich against their will. The lovers' sontimental reluctance found him cold and unappreciative. In anything else, Reine could have moved and persuaded him his vengeance she should not spoil. So, in a few days, Francisque was informed that an eminent firm of attorneys was collecting evidence concerning the past life of the Comtesse de Chayolles, and particularly her relations with the deceased Comte. Francisque said that he could not remain passive. His testimony, his help, was of importance, and he had no right to allow his children's fortune to bo lost, while it needed but a few words to save it. An irritating incident decided him to prosecute his action with vigor, and at tho same time, gave him a clue.Jwliich was absolutely essential to the success of the undertaking.

Madame Michon wrote to him! He could not believe that Juliet had dictated this manoeuvre her strategy seldom descended to such base and clumsy expedients. Still, the letter was there—and such a letter!—humble, and yet insolent familiar, and yet affecting a distant and disinterested politeness. It warned him of a matter of public notoriety, which, it said, nearly concerned his marital honor. His wife's maiden name was coupled with that of a young Englishman, Mr. Eustace Mervale. During threo months, ho had visited her daily at the Rue He was now known to have been concealed in the ambulance wagon in which Reine endeavored to escape on the night of the entry of the Versailles legions. It was simply in the interest of truth and sound ii 'rality that Mdme. Michon wrote, etc., etc.

Francisque threw this individioua composition into the tire but he remembered it with burning Indignation against its supposed uthor, Juliet de Chayolles. He remembered it, too, because it suggested to his mind a scheme for laying hands on M. Michon, who seemed to have disappeared from Paris since his deliverance of the Versailles troops. The concierge was the most important witness on the prosecutor's side without him no decisive step could bo taken.

Francisque called upon Mdme. Michon at. the porter's lodge of the Hotel de Chayolles. She expected him, and received him with a severely virtuous demeanor. "Monsieur wishes to complete the information I found it my painful duty to communicate?" "I do."

Mdme. Michon described Mervale the assidious covert he paid to Reine—facte that Juliet had obtained from De Boisrobert. She indicated several occasions on which they had been seen together and gave the names of witnesses—concierges at the houses where Reine had lived—irresponsible cafe gossips, etc.

Francisque professed himself satisfied, and in his turn threw out a bait. "I wish this to bo kept as "secret as possible, you understand, madaine? I shall want a trusty person to watch my wife's movements, and those of this English gentleman. Ho must be clever, respectable, and discreet."

Madame Michon was embarrassed for a moment. A bona fide spy would infallibly discover Madame Carayon's complete innocence. Then a thought struck her, and she asked tentatively, "Would such a person be well paid?" "Excellently! Three hundred francs a month, his expenses, and a gratuity of five hundred francs at the end of his service."

Mdme. Michon'B eyes sparkled. "I think I can introduce you to such a person. He is in the house. In fact, it is M. Michon, my husband. I will fetch him."

She disappeared. M. Michon's life had been anything but pleasant since^ his deliverance. He had, in fact, gone from one prison to another. His betrayal of the lady Mdme. Michon called his benefactress, had rendered him' an object of suspicion to the Comtesse and his own wife. Precautions were taken that such a breach of trust should not be repeated, and M. Michon had beer, kept under lock and key, sequestrated, and rasped by the wifely tongue, until he reached a state of sullen submission, bordering on mischievous idiocy. Nothing but the prospect of that magnificent salary could have induced Mdme. Michon to disobey her mistress's injunctions, and set the prisoner free. But the temptation was too great besides, the spy would fulfil his functions in away to serve the Comtesse's interest. So the concierge was apprized of a coming change for the better in his condition, and recommended to deserve that amelioration by special ingenuity in the invention of unanswerable proofs of Heine's faithfulness, past and present

He promised, and was forthwith introduced to Francisque. "Madame," said the latter, "I must give some secret instructions to your husband.

With your permission, we will wish yon good day." Madame Michon was rather alarmed at this quick severance of domestic ties, and began to raise objections.

M. Michon felt that he had an ally, and did not hesitate to assert his perfect independence. "Give me my hat, madame," he saidi sternly, bitterly remembering the long confiscation of that article of wearing ap parel.

Francisque calmly handed him his hat, took him by the arm, and, with a bow to Madame Michon, astonished but not yet suspicious passed out into the street. lie ensconced Michon in a cab, and took a seat beside him. "Now, M. Michon, we are going to my lawyer's. Don't be afraid. \ou will merely be requested to repeat an interesting little story which you'told some months ago to M. Marcus at the Hotel de Ville."

Michon shut his eyes, as though the knife of the guillotine were descending. "Look here you are a man of the world," said Francisque. "You have nothing to pain in the Comtesse de Chayolles' service, and much to lose—your liberty, firstly, its we have just seen. We know about that will. You are required as a witness on our side. Readily give evidence, and you are quits with your wife and free of the Comtesse. Remain silent, and, at the best, you are shut up for the rest of your days at the Hotel do Chayolles your wife spending your money and bullying you. Ah! at tho worst, my friend, you pass the remainder of your life at Toulon, as accomplice in a forgery."

Michon was terrified. He arrived at the attorney's oHice in a limp and marvelously ductile condition. He wrote out tho story of the will, and signed the paper in a species of spectral nightmare.

Then Fnuieisque took him to an obscure hotel, and left him, for the night, under tLe'-uard of an awue's clerk.

CHAPTER XXXI.

CONCLUSION.

The next morning the Comtesse ue Chayolles was roused early. She was told that two gentlemen wished to see her and she descended, en peignoir, to the drawing-room, where, in effect, two visitors rose as she entered. "Major Canty on!" she cried. "Madame," said Francisque, hastily, "my presence in this house needs explanation ihat will be furnished by this gentleman, my solicitor—Maitre Courtois."

Juliet sat down. She fell that the end was approaching. "Ours is an errand of mercy, madame," said the lawyer. "We come to ask you to leave this house, to leave France before the end of the week."

Juliet averted her face, and answered steadily. "And what reasons do you give for this singular demand?" "These are the reasons: this is the only way by which you can be saved from arrest and trial on the charge of having forged your late husband—tho Comte de Chayolles'—will."

She remained unmoved. The lawyer placed Michon's signed declaration before hor. "Is this all your evidence?" she asked.

The lawyer went to the window. In a few moments a clerk entered, accompanying M. Michon. "Do you maintain this charge?" said the lawyer, pointing to the papers before the Comtesse. "Yes. She shouldn't get a man locked up by his own wife," grumbled Michon. "Enough!" said Juliet, rising. "Send the man away."

Michon retired with the clerk. "I will obey you, messieurs. You have everything on your side, and 1 have lost all I ever had on mine—courage, strength, cunning. I am rather glad it is all over messieurs. You don't know what my life has been. Can you imagine an English girl, trained up by scoundrels, sent to America, at sixteen, to decoy fools into swindler's traps, educated in an atmosphere of deceit, and avarice, and profligacy? If you can't imagine such a thing, here it is! 1 did honor to my tutors. I cheated them in the first year of my apprenticeship. I amassod a little money, provided myself with a respectable mother, and came to Europe—to Paris there I fell in with De Boisrobert. Ho became my firm ally in a species of guerilla war against society. I can't say exactly how I lived, how I dressed well, and alwayB had horses in my stables. Lucky strokes of what we call financiering in America paid most of my bills. Then we used that famous mine you have heard of. It really belonged to me—a derisive legacy from a rough Colorado minor, who departed this life in a summary fashion, after having failed to explain satisfactorily his reasons for playing poker with a plurality of aces. You know the history of the Gerstain speculation. It is that of most of the schemes set on foot by, my late estimable partner and myself. I think I intended to be good after having achieved that last manoeuvre in the matter of the will. But it bored me. The money bored me. Only one thing could make me a decent member of society, and that I could not attain. So I'm glad you're to have the money, M. Carayon—glad to begin the old life again. I am a gypsy. I am not converted—pray don't consider me an example for a reformatory tract— I'm only tired. The game's too long let's try afresh deal."

With that, she rose, and, bowing easily to the gentleman, was leaving the room, when the lawyer said, "Madame, a moment. You will receive the third of the Comte's income, due to you as his widow. If you will leave us your address, it shall be paid to you at whatever dates you may fix." "Yes. It might be useful," said she, carelessly. "My address? How should I know? Wait till I send for the money, and—thank you."

She left and Paris saw her no more.

It is the

Bunny

library of a Richmond

villa. The windows are open, a cool afternoon breeze is blowing, shaking the Virginian creeper around the casement, rippling the river that glitters down some hundred yards distant-

French has been busily spoken in the room for the last two hours but now the party assembled appears to be lost in silent meditation. "Well, you must say what become of us all," said the only lady present. "Say that we all lived happily ever afterwards, and had a numerous family."

"Generally applied, that might sound vague, and would certainly not be true, said a young Frenchman. "Well, despatch us one by one, in the good old fashion," said an older Gaul, with a remarkably Hebraic nose.

And the writer obeyed. Choquard died defending his improvised barricade. Zabrinski is at present at New Caledonia, but ezpetsc to escape shortly—when he will, of coarse, retire to Spain,'

Reine and Francisque have inherited the Comte's fortune, and spend it insanely, says the "Faubourg St Germain." Madame has net yet given a ball Monsieur shows no inclination for racers. They spend the greater part of the year in England, at a country house at Richmond, where Marcus not unfrequently joins them, for the purpose of smoking the Major's Londres, and converting their possessor to mystic Socialism.

At this point the historian broke off, and remarked: "It strikes me that I haven't brought my own person prominently forward And the worst of it is, that I really don't know what to say to render myself conspicuous." "Say that you were a good, honest friend to my little wife, here, at a time when she most needed a friend. Say

The historian will add no more, save the mild, but egotistic remark—that his name is Eustace Mervale. "And now" observes Reine, "you can write:

Kims."
