THE AMERICAN.
"Then, where are they, sir? What have they
done with then? The day before yesterday, they
were in the convent!" cried Lae;olert, over
whelmed by this complete destruction of his
hopes.
Hardly had the soldier pronounced these
words, when, profiting by the impulse which
gath-red all the actors in this scene ab'ut the
magistrate, IIlin withdrew discreetly towards
the door, and disappeared without any one per
ceiving his absence, Whilst the soldier, thus
suddenly thrown back to the depths of his des
pair, looked at M. de Gemaude, waiting with
anxiety for the answer, Adrienne said to the
magistrate: "But, sir, when you applied at the
convent, what explanation did the superior give
on the subject of these young girls?"
"The lady superior refused to give any ex
planation, madame. ' You pretend,' said she,
'that the young persons of whom you speak are
detained here against their will. Since the law
gives' you the right of entering this house, make
your search.' 1 But, madame, please to answer
me positively,' said I to the superior; 'do you de
clare, that you know nothing of the young girls,
whom I have come to claim.' I have nothing
to say on this subject, sir. You assert, that you
are authorized to make a search; make it.' Not
being able to get any other explanation," con
tinued the magistrate, ' I searched all parts of the
convent, and had every dooor opened but, un
fortunately, I could find not race of these young
ladies."
"They must have sent them elsewhere," cried
Dagobert; "who knows perhaps, ill. They will
kill them 0 God! they will kill them! " cried he,
in a heart-rending tone.
"After such a refusal, what is to be done?
Pray, sir, give us your advice; you are our provi
dence," said Adrienne, turning to speak to Rodin ,
who she fancied was behind her. "What is
your "
Then, perceiving that the Jesuit had suddenly
disappeared, she said to Mother Bunch, with un
easiness: "Where is M. Rodin?"
" I do not kuow, madame," answered the girl
looking round her; "he is no longer here."
" it h strange, saiI Adrienne, "to disappear
so abruptly! "
" I told you he was a traitor!" cried Dagobert
stamping with rage; " they are all in a pic t to
gether."
" ro, no," said Mdlle. de Cardoville; " do not
think that. But the absence is not the lets t be
regretted, for, under these difficult circumstances
he might have given us very useful information
'thanks to the position he occupied at M. d'Aig-
rigny's."
"I confess:, madame, that I rather reckoned
upon it," said M de Gernande; "and I relumed
hither, not only to inform you of the fruitless re
suit of my search, but also to seek from the up
right and honorable man, who so courageously
unveiled these odious machinations, the aid of
his counsels in this contingency."
Strangely enough, for the last few moments
Dagobert was so completely absorbed in thought,
that he paid no attention to the words of the
magistrate, however important to him. lie did
not even perceive the departure of M. de Ger
nande, who retired after promising Adrienne
that he would neglect no means to arrive at the
truth, in regard to the disappearance of the or
phans. Uneasy at this silence, wishing to quit
the house immediately, and induce Dagobeit to
accompany her, Adrienne, after exchanging a
rapid glance with Mother Bunch, was advancing
towards the soldier, when hasty steps were heard
from without the chamber, and a manly sonor
ous voice, exclaimi g, with impatience, " Where
is he where is he?"
At the sound of his voice, Dagobtri seemed to
rouse himself with a start, made a sudden bound,
and with a loud cry, rushed towards the door. It
opened. Marshal Simon appeared on the thres
hold!

1'EJi POUTERS.
BY H. W. BOWMAN.
Papal pills are sugar coated.
Credulity is the basis of Rome's re
ligion. Get a papist to thinking and the
priest will curse you.
The priest's blindest eye is on the
side where the most money comes
from.
A Bible is the most hurtful book a
papist can read if we judge from
Rome's past acts. s i
No man can walk with civilization I
and stay In the wood3 of papal super
stition. Rome wears a religious cloak, yet
has a cold heart.
A confessional box is the tomb ot
self-respect
Wearing a cross does not cure cross
ness. Hatred is nursed by papal prejudice.
The brighter history shines the dark
er Rome's record.
It Is hard to convince a papist who
lets the priest do his thinking. j
To know that popery Is a curse
makes a man want to rid the earth of
It.
Keeping knowledge in the hands ot
the priest starves the minds of the
people.
You can never tell what a papist will
do out of a church by his looks of de
votion within.
Rome has trouble with the man who
does his own thinking.
Popery throws the most mud at the
whitest garments.
The priest does an evil day's work
when he gets a child to go to the paro
chial school. j
