" For him, if I catch him," said Dagohert, in a DiM'nheit. in a kind tone but one that commanded hollow tone. "We have old accounts to settle." It is eight o'clock in the evening, the rain d.itdies against the windows of Frances Haudoin's unartmeut in the Hue Hrise-Miche, whilo violent s iualls of wind shake the badly-closed doors and casements. The disorder and confusion of this humble abode, usually kept with much care an neatness, bore testimony of tho serious nature of the sad events which had thus disturbed exist ences hitherto peaceful in their obscurity. The paved floor was soiled with mud, and a thick layer of dust covered the furniture, once so bright and clean. Since Frances was taken away by the commissary, tho bed had not been made at night Dagohert had thrown himself upon it for a few hours in his clothes, when, worn out with fatigue, and crushed by despair, he had returned from new and vain attempts to discover Rose and Blanche's prison-house. Upon the drawers stood n bottle, a glass, and some fragments of dry bread, proving the frugality of the soldier, whose means of subsistence were reduced to the money lent by the pawnbroker upon the things pledged by Moth er Bunch, after the arrest of Frances. By the faint glimmer of a candle, placed upon the littlo stove, now cold as marble, for the stock of wood had long been exhausted, one might have Been the hunchback sleeping upon a chair, her head resting upon her bosom, her hands concealed beneath her cotton apron, and her feet resting on tho lowest rung of the chair; from time to time, she shivered in her damp, chill garments After that long day ol latigue and diverse erao lions, the poor creature had eaten nothing. Had 6he even thought of it, she would have been at a loss for bread. Waiting for the return of Dagohert and Agrioola, she had sunk into an agitated sleep very different, alas! from calm and refreshing slumber. From time to time, Bhe half opened her eyes uneasily, and looked around her. Then, again, overcome by irresisti ble heaviness, her head fell upon her bosom After some minutes of silence, only interrupted by the noise of the wind, a slow and heavy step was heard on the landing-place. The door opened, and Dagohert entered, followed by Spoilsport Waking with a start, Mother Bunch raised her head hastily, sprang from her chair, and, advanc ing rapidly to meet Agricola's father, said to him " Well, M. Dagohert! have you good news? Have you She could not continue, she waa so struck with the gloomy expression of the soldiers's features Absorbed in his reflections, he did not at first appear to perceive the speaker, but threw himself despondingly ou a chair, rested his elbows upon the table, and hid his face in his hands. After a long meditation, he rose, and said in a low voice: "It must yes, it must he done!" Taking a few steps up and down the room, Da gohert looked around him, as if in search of something. At length, after about a minute's obedience. The seamstress took the sciss rs from Francos' work-basket, and presented them to the Mier. "Now, hold the other end of the sheet, my girl, and draw it out tight." In a few minutes, Dagohert had cut 'the sheet into four strips, which he twisted in the fashion of cords, fastening them here and there with bits 1 M. Dagohert," cried Mother Bunch, listening; 'some one is running up the stairs. It is Agri cola's footstep. 1 am sure he has good news." "That will just do," said the soldier, hastily, without answering. " Agricola is a smith, will be able to find me the iron hook." (To be continued.) He DR.
