bornly awaked tbe charge of the Na
tional Guards, who awarmed over the
barricades with hard-set Hue, and bayo
neta red with human blood.
"On!" cried tbe captain. "Down with
them! Kill the dogs!"
And they swept on, smashing away at
the doors of houses, banting In shat
ter with the butt-ends of their muskets,
rushing upward and onward, and pinning
the unfortunate wretches whom they
found against the walla Uka ao many
flies.
Two men charged among that furious
crowd, both of them eager to reach tba
heart of the Ufht, both of them rushing
onwa"d, a word and pistol In hand, but
neither of them really bloodthirsty at
heart nor cruelly disposed to their fel
low creature.
One of them waa a broad-chested,
etralgbt-tlmbed young fellow of about
four and twenty, fair-hiirsd aud blue
eyed ; a set of white teeth shone beneath
a etabhy reddish mustache, tta color bare
ly diadnguiahable amid the grime of pow

waa haam eared.
