A movement from M. Ltraeroier aroused her. Hhe found M. Arobrnim taking leave, and, in spite of ber Bwimmiog eyes, nailed op a sweet little far. il emilr, and a few broken words of gratitude for his kindness. Ue left the room, and raadame, with hnririK words and caresses strove to comfort Esperance. Poor little one," she said, tenderly , " all the troubles of life oome to you.

Thun as marlamn ooald ttnii no reply, she started up with 'Impairing energy, > frladame, I must know when he is I I muni tiud bun t 1 will go to the amlmlanoae. Hhe hurried away to her own room, matched up her cloak and hat, anil in half a minute was again in th* saUn, where M. and Mme. Lemeroier were diapering the poeaibility of hr enterprise. Monsit-ur, who was a kind haarteo. little man, came to meet bar with a miita*, ,,f affected gallantry and true sympathy whiob would have amused her at any olh** time. Dear madamulstlle," ha began, " do you rightly your ta.k T understand tbe difficulty ol Ths ambulances are scattered boat Ibe city in every direction ; tbe nigh' i cold, it will be too maah for yoa.

" Monsieur is too good ; if yoa wil ndi *d go with me, I *hall have no dim otiliy, it will 1 1 far easier for me to bear waiting hare. Let us coma at once il can really ipare Ihe time. Adieu, dear madame ; give ai your good wishes." The night air felt cold and chill ai Kiperanoe and her companion walkec down tbe street ; the lamps had long ago ooainrl to be lighted, and their progreas would have betn ilow bad not M. Lamercie known every inch of the ground. A few minutes' walking brough them to ths Udeon Theatre, whi :h bad been converted into an aoapilal. Kiperance'* heart beat higl with hope as she waited in the vestibul while M. Lemercier went in to make inquiries, but after what seemed to her long absence, be returned with " failure ' written on his face lie ia not there, dear mademoiselle But coarago I we will rind him yet. Le as RO to the American ambulance." Kiperance loved the American h spita in ipite of its painful associations ; t> j ha< often visited it since her father's .eath taking her small contributions of chtrpie or garments (or the sick, so she was pleasei at the thought of going there, and of seeing again the kind American ladies, and aome how ihe fell confident that Gaspard mua be there if anywhere. She walked on bravely in thi* hope. Bo alas, she was soon undeceived. The cool airy tent* were there, the prettily dreaaec American ladies were just as she hat piclared them, bat among the row* o wounded soldiers Gaspard was col to bi found. f be names cf several other ambulance: were suggested to them, and they went on their tearoh once more, but Eiperanoe now that ber hope had been disappointed found it hard work to keep op. Bodilj fatigue and mental suffering were begin ning to tell npon her, and after three o four more fatlrms, M. Lemeroier, looking at her white faoe grew alarmed. " Mademoiselle is ill. Let me oall i luicrt, if I can procure one, indeed which i doubtful after all the horse- flesh we havi eaten. Let ni return, and wait for dayligh to resume oar search." But tired ai she wai, Eaperanoa woolt not bear of this. " No, no, indeed I am not ill, moniiear," ahe replied, ijaiokly " let as do all we can. Which will be thi next ambulance ? " " Tbe Grand Hotel and here we are now let me persuade you to wall in the entrance while I go to inquire." Kiperance was, by thii time so faint thai she was obliged to conient, and, sinking down on a bench, ihe waited, though with scarcely any bop* of sucoe**. It seemed hoars before her companion returned, and then, once more, came the weary answer Nil is no use he i* not there." M. Lemercier was now more than ever ton! ap jn >,oing home, and she bad uoaroely strength to reiiit h is urging. It was not nil he wai on tbe very point of calling a i-iert that ihe was fu.ly rouaed. The very realization of what ths relief would be, reminded her also of ber object, quickening all her powers, and renewing her grief, which for the time had been half nombed. Indeed, moniiear, I would rather walk," she exclaimed, wilh lullioient energy to surprise M Lemercier, " and wo have pet to inquire at Ihe Theatre Franoais." " Ah, It is true," said monsieur, re loclively. " You are a veritable heroine, mademoiselle , and if yon are really ablx to .do so we will proofed. No, eitoyen," to the driver of Ibe liter e, " one mail walk on toot during a liege. Take my advice, and eat your bone while ha ii your*." Th* driver growled ootaomelhiug about a fare," and "adding to tbe rations", but they were soon out of hearing of his grumbling. Kiperanoe had been a little surprised at the friendly " cifoayn " Mslowed by M. Lemercier on Ihe driver. She waa atill unacoudtomid to Republican mannera. and thi* little incident, trilling as t wai, tilled bar thoughts during the walk. Hhe wa* quite exhanited wben they reached tbe Iheatre Francais, and waited wearily in the vestibule, anbeedfal of the camera or goers -half stnj>ened by grief, cold, and fatigue, while m tier brain was a wild oonf union of battle fields, ambulances, and nf.iyi-n drivers. Before M. Lemeroier returned aba bad quite lost consciousness, and in her dark corner remained unnoticed or some time. Bhe returned lo life a little later to find il Lemeroier binding over ber, a mixture if anxiety and half appraised txoit< muni n his face. lie gave an exclamation of elief a* aha opened her eye*. " Ah, she rdoavers ! Dear madeiuiiaalle, be comforted , I have good uewi for you. He*, then, who ia here ! " Kiperanoe, thus appealed to, opened ber heavy eyelidi again, but only saw tha talue of \ oltaire. This roused her. Bhe at up, rubbed ber eyes, and before the bad ime to look again, found Gaspard's armi roand her, hii well-known voioe once more o ber ear*. Poor tired little one I And ao you have been wandering all over Parii to find me I " Hbe ooald not look or speak then, but ,usl put her head down oa bis shoulder and sobbed for joy, while her whole being wai raised in a wordless thankagiving. M. Lemerc er, who luckily was too true a Frenchman to dislike a " scene," waited latieutly till she recovered herself before ie proposed that tin v should return. Then, for the first time, looking ap, speranoe saw that Oaapard's head wai tandaged, and, forgetting her own fatigue, began to make eager inquiries. The wound was happily but a slight one, and Gaapard would have been lent home ooner, but when brought in from the Held ie had been, like many others, overcome ly sleep, and 10 had been delayed. When all had been lima satisfactory explained, M. a carriage, this He, however, it hmiHulf, and jemeroia* went to find ime in good earucit. declined to take a seat in sent a message by Kiperanoe to his wife to faa 1 1 . . i that she need not expect bipa to return btfore morning. Daring the long walk he had been akiiiK all manners of obttrvatioos ; dis- contented words from paisen-by had caught bis ears, disjointed sentences of Murmuring againil Troobu, and vague topes of establishing Klourei Full of pe for his ideal Oommone, "e walked oft aim.ily in the direction "f Belleville, lh *kful that good fortune h favored his jcioing that be WM now free to serve " la Eiperanoe and Gaipard, meanwhile, had reached horn* safely, and were ao muob engroued in each other that they aoaroely heeded Ibe generate, whiob, at eleven o'clock, resouudad through the city to sum- men tbe National Guard t} attack the Hotel de Ville. The insurrection, bowsver, wsh but trifling ; ami, although for a few days M. Lem*roi*r wai very sanguine, he was soon obliged to oonf ea* that it bad been ansucoessfal, and that (or the prevent the Comuianisti mast bide their time. CUAPIER VIII. " It is shameful ! abominable I unbear- able 1 We cjuld have held for another month, at least 1 We will resist , we will not allow it, each atrocious conditions such concession i to those beggarly Prus- sians t " Gaspard was panting with rage and vexation, M. Lemercier having just brought ia the news thai tha armistice was signed. Madame could not help giving a sigh of relief, and Esperanoe might have followed her example had aba not religiously tried to lympathi/e with Oaspard's views. She asked a safe question. I* it all over then 1 .' " " Practically," replied M. Lemercier, " unless, indeed, we Communists can egg on tbe popolance, which, as the Floorens insurrection failed, is more than doubtful." " Think how they will exult over us, tbe monsters! It is inrely imposaibe that France can submit to each terms while her sons itill live 1 We will compel Yinoy to lead a* forward cnae more ! We will show Trochu that bis signature it of no avail if tbe children of Franoe do not approve ! " Gaipard paused, oat of breath and exhausted by bis cxoitement , for despite his lofty project* of future resistance and another sortie, bis wound wai by no mean; recovered. M. Ltuurciar seized the opportunity for lamenting hi* pet grievance. " And you have imprisoned ths only msn who has any spirit any public feel ing ! If Fleoren* were Bin I what would you, Antoinette? " " Uo yoa not see how your are exoiting oar convalescent ? Go, then, and find as some fresh news, and wail another week before yon try to make Monsieur Gaipard a Communist. Now Iranqoiliza yourself, monsieur, or your face will be permanently disfigured." M. Lemarrier obdiently lefl the room, and Gaipard followe i hia nurse's direction*, though, perhaps, not for tba all safiicienl roason ibe had given. Eiperanoe wondered wby he looked ao utterly miserable ; she said nothing, however, until a trifling in oident solved the mystery. Boma one paiaed the window singing the "Mar- seillaise ' ; th* complete mockery of the word* could not but strike her, and, looking ap a* the thoaghtles* passenger sang " Le lour de xloirv **t arrive." she saw that tears of grief and humiliation had IMMsw Gaspard. He hid his face with a bilter groan, an i Esperanoe reali/.ed for the first lima how great wa* his love for r'ranoe. The siege was virtually at an end, but it was not till nearly Ihe middle of February that food became 'cheaper, and slill the I'raasiens were encamped roand Paris, .. ir presence galling tbe humiliated people. Every one felt thai the trouble* of Franc* ere by no means at an end, and M. Lemercier grew daily more hopeful for hia Jommune. Kiperanoe wai sorely dis- appointed ; she bad hoped for a speedy deliverance from all privation and dislres* , but, instead of this, the aspect of affaire grew blacker each day, and Gaspard, who, iven in tha worst days of the siegs, bad >een bright and hopeful, was now given up either to indignant murmuring or to settled melancholy. Esperauoe tried obediently lo grow jelriolio, and sooooeded ia hating th* i'rassians very cordially, taking great jlcaiure in banging a black tlaok from the ilndow lo greet them, when, on the lit of klaruh they entered to take poaeeasion of .'aria. Still aha ooald not bal look forward .o tbe time when ihey ooald leave Franoe iud nod a aafe, quiet refuge in England. Is the weary days passed on, and M. ^emercier talked of the Commune, ahe onged for il more and more, and made ap ler mind lo auk Gaspard about it the very ISXt opportunity. Now that bis wound was healed she saw ery liltle of him ; he was out all day, and often far into the night, and for ths I* .1 ew days Kiperanoe had fancied him :hanged grown mire hopeful, yet at the ame time reatlesi and exoited. It wai now the 17th of March, seven weeks from the actual capitulation. There was no looger any difficulty in leaving the it) , and as Eiperanoe sat in tbe lonely salon wailing for (iaspard's return, *he i mlil not help thinking of her father'i lait iharge, that they should leave Paris as soon as possible. Had Gaipard forgotten, ibe wondered. At any rate she would .'in n. I him of it, and that very evening, too. As if to favor her design he came in alone, and apparently In good spirit*. " Bo you are alone, cherie : it ii well 1 etnrned. Where i* madame ? " " wjnu to vi.it a friend. I am so glad on are oome back, for I wanted to speak to ou, Qasparil. I never eeem to see you now." 'Tie true, dear ; but what can yon xpeot in iuoh days as theie .' The whole ily ii in agitation, the mob i* growing urious ; we may expeot a second Kevol any day, and this time I think we 'ommunist* aball succeed. The country must stand first, >ou know ; it il not that I ove yon Itss." Esperanoe'* heart aonk. Ho this waa Gaspard's view of the subject. Wa* it oiaible that be bad really become a Com- imiiist ? that hii patrioliim had degener- ated to thii For the first time aha felt that it was mpossible to agree with him, and there waa a keenly pained tone iu her voioe aa she askan : " Then you have adopted Monsieur lemeroier plauni ? What would my father lava thought of inch a change ? " Gaapard looked a little surprised, then loubtful, and finally angry. Do not attempt to talk politics, pleaie Esperanoe : I trust no sister of mine will ever set up for a ' fcmme tav&nte.' " HIT lipa grew whit* with pain, not ao much from tha actual unkindness at from [rief at Ihe change which must have paaaed >ver Gaspare , never in her whole life had ie apoken to her so bitterly. Bhe replied, not angrily, but unadvisely : " Ai yon would , bat have yon forgotten you promts* to our father ? " " What promise?" " To leave Franoe as to in as poMible, and Mcrttl" in England. ' "England?" Gaipard's countenance fell ; he had indeeed forgotten. Be was so completely taken aback, the idea was evidently so distasteful to him, that Esperanoe forgot their quarrel in trying to comfort him. Bat, alas I all ait* ooald say only made matters worse. Gaa- pard received ber caresses in gloomy silence, and finally roee, wilh an impatient exclamation seized his hat strode out of the room without a word of farewell or ex planation. It would be hard to aay which was the most milerab'.e of the two ; perhap* Esper- anoe had lees cause for self -reproach, but certainly ber reflections were sad enough, as boor by hoar she sat watching and hop- in:; for Gaspard's return. Bhe Intoned and waited in vain, however, f >r he did not oome home at all that nigbi. Ksperanoe's words were ringing in hii ears, tormenting him, haunting mm, do what be wauld. Mart he indeed leave France just at thii moat exciting moment ? Would hii father have exacted sach a promise if he had foreseen all that would happen? M. Lamer- cier had indoctrinated him, to some extent, in his communistic principles, and ha could not fail to wiih to be prejent daring tbe coming struggle. And then to add to bit diffiouUks poverty began to itare him in the faoe. B bad been loo much occupied of late to ipar many thought! for money matters, bat h waa aware that their income was of th smallest. IIow ooald they m&aae th removal into another country ? IIow cool be support himself when onoe they wer there .' Wai not England already swarm iog with exiled Freachsnen ? In tbe midst of his reverie he wai acconte by M. Lemercier, who was walking eiciUdl in an oppoiit* direction. " De Mabillon ! the very man I wa*%d Our liltle affair ia progressing moat favor ably ; to morrow we may expect a /ruciu that will make all Europe ring. Come then, with ma, yon iball be initiated " An linking his arm in Gaspard's he walked ol in the direction of the Faubourg Si Autoine. Bat ia spits of the all-ex :iting plots anc wild schemes whnh were that nigh revealed to him, Gaipard wai persistency haunted by Eaperanoe'a pale, reprcachfu f T . and, though he liulenel with eicilt i pleasure to M. Lemeroier's proposals, ha fell an uncomfortable twinge when hi remembered how he had paiaed his sister sporanoe slept little that night ; she was sore at heart, and full of anxiety for Gaapard. Neither he nor M. Lemercie had returned next morning, and tne day wore on slowly and gloomily. Madame, b] 'ay of "distraction," toak Esperanoe to Ibe oemeterv . but Ihe visit to her father'i grave only renewed her grief, and made her long mcra that ever for his help and advice Bhe wept so passionately thai. M. Lemer oier wai quite diatreiead, and began to apologise profusely for her foolish idea, her ill conceived plan On the way home they heard confused r*|.orla of a Communist insurrection, but nothing definite. Madame was, of coarse maah interested, knowing that her basbanc would probably take a prominent part in any rising, and Esperanoe shivered ai she membered that very possibly Gaspare muht be involved ia it, too. They walked home almost in silence Madame was eager (or news, however, and itayed below talking to the porter, while Ksperano*. taking her Key, went np alone lo their own room*. Hhe had not waited long before footitapi were heard without. Tha door opened luiokly and Gaapard entered looking very pale and exhausted. Eiperanoe gave an astonished excla- mation at bis appearance, and her heart Mat qaiokly a* ibe wondered it he had udeeu been assisting in the insurrection. lint her doubts were soon dispelled; in another moment she was in his arms, while ie poured out incoherent regrets and explanations of his last night's biibavior. Hbe was wonderfully relieved. Il was not for some minute* that she returned to the subject that had all day tilled her thoughts, aud asked what had been bap Gaapard turned away with a groan. " Do not ask for detaila.il ia too horrible. Liemeroiar told me yeaterday that there ould probably be a grand jraciti. Be had alked ma into halt believing in bis ideal jommone it sounds well enough in the ry, md somehow at night it wai exciting, and [, like a fool, really believed il wa* for the sl. But when il was broad daylight, and me oould ste Ihe mob looking moro like lemons than man, then I began to doubt. God be thanked, I bad no hand in il, for it aa a butchery, Kiperanoe, nothing lea ieneral Lecomte and Clement Thomas loth murdered ! Figure to yourself an old man, single handed, against a multitude ragged down slaughtered I Ah ! it was rightful frightful I " lie paused, ahaddsring with horror, as he aw onoe more, in imagination, the terrible oene. It was not that he bad for the first inui ga/.-id upon a horrible spectacle. For noulhi he had been exposed to all the errors of the liege, war and bloodshed were perfectly familiar to him, bat thi* day very noble feeling within him had been nlraged. Bis whole soul revolted from he barbarity of the assault, and Ihe thought hat only a few hours before he had well- nigh sided with tha murderers, added to ' is horror. Fsperanos did not alljw him to think >ver it all much longer. She knelt aown tekide him, and strove, by every possible idearment to divert hia mind. Ue looked up, trying to smile, bat something in her ace upset him completely. Be turned away wilh a quick sob. Faithless wretch that I have bet n ! orgetting my promise, forgetting you, hinking only of that abominable Com- mune. Esperanoe, we will leave Paris low ; I will not let yoa stay hare a single lay longer. Yon are ill, I know, though ou have said nothing, and my hateful leglect has li.eu making yon iiitTer. Ask iladame Lemoroier to help you in your ireparalions, and I will go oat now, at inoe, and see what can be arranged. It hall be to-morrow, at latest." Be hurried away, leaving Ksperanoe in a utter of exoitiment, thankful indeed at the Mme. Lemercier was mo oh dis Oaspard's sadden plan ; ahe vsry fond of Eiperanoe, and to now, at a lime when aha wai 1 aoaroely anything of her doubly trying. Bhe proved ever, by the gre.teil kindness, half ihe night in helping Eaperag tbeir wordly good*. They were to start early th* ncjit '> morn- ing. Gaspard bad obtained passport*, i had done tbe be*t he ooald to s 1 varioa* accounts, bat everything wa* inch confusion, owing to the war and 1 lirge, that his arrangements were anyihi but satisfactory, and he wa* obliged to !<.*** much to M. Lemeroier's car*. B* home with Ibe unpleaiaot conviction tha/ evtry thing was in a vary bad way, and that ' the war had put tha flniihing loach to the fallen fortunes of the De ilabillons. They were just about to atari the next morning, wben M. Lameroiar returned, wearied with hia labors, but fall of triumph; , he wa* aitomshed to find a liaere standing at the door, and trunks being carried down- itaira, but Hill more 10, when, on reaching the salon, he saw that Esperanoe and Gai- pard were in traveling attire. ' De Mabillon 1 I have been wondering where on earth yoa could be t What mean* this ? Too are not going away on thi* moat pronitiou* of day*?" Gaapard am we red gravely : " I ctn cot agree with yoa in thinking i propitious ; oar country bal diigraced net self by that foul murder yesterday. Never, ' never, will your Commune prosper, which began with such meanness, iuoh barily ! " M Lemercitr looked pained and sor- ' prised, but not athamed. " J/o/i Dieu ! I grant that we bad a pain-) lul scene yesterday but it was i I am convinced il was nee Straggle and bio xiihed there must be, I at lait we shall establish tru i liberly- eqaality and Paris will be free." Kaperance waa astonisbel to see ha thoroughly in earnest wa* tha speaker, face lighted up with an expectant hop*w there was something noble in hi* aspect t and yet sorely he was greatly mistaken. 8ba wondered whether Gaipard's resolu- tion would be shaken, and looked up anxiously, but there was no ii jn of chang* in hi* grave, determiLed face. He dropped the subject of tbe Common* without farther remark and begau to thank tbe Lemorciers for all their kindnf ai ; and then, amid tear*, embrace*, good wishes, and regreti, the brother and sister leave ot their boon .
