She was stand ing with one foot on the carriage step when monsieur came along. Monsieur Winston, saw him, and struck him, dashing him to the ground. As he arose, hk face bleeding, mademoiselle must have recognized him, for she gave one scream and fell back, 'dead. Pauvre mademoiselle! Her heart wrb weak, so monsieur Je Docteur said." "Poor girl. Hers was a sad life, lis a pity her brother didn't kill the heart less coward who wrecked it. I hear jour master, Felice, Let him in." "Mon Dieu! monsieu!" "Hush. Tell your mistress I'm not well.
