At the time of which we write, 1793, during the "reiph of terror." ail Paris was being de.uged in blood by the monster Roboiieirre acd hi-i blood­ thirsty minion^, v.ho hurled the King from the throne, rutlileRsiy luurderiug 'thousands of tho uristoeraia, whoso life-blood stained the streets. It was near nightfall. The ethereal vaults of [heaven were obecuied by thick, heavy clouds, which hung like a dark •pall over the city. A buiail vti.^el was nailing away to the north, upon the wa­ ters of the Seine, trout. which had dis­ embarked Victor I)u Mont, who had re­ turned to Paris to remove his aged mother to a place of safety. As Du Mont moved aloug one of the principal thoroughfares ho observed everywhere tho murka of carnage and destruction,in the battered wal is of some magnificent pe ace or the litele«* corpse of tome hatiglily lK.b.eumu. However, he continued to resolutely proceed for­ ward, until, abruptly leaving the jnain thoroughfare, he entered a narrow street, whieh he traversed for fume dis­ tance, until finally he reached the por­ tals of his own threshold. The house looked dark and gloomy without. No oue answered his well- known signal. Theie was no fond mother to greet him. With an almost sinking heart Du Mont enteied his home. 'What a scene © door by pushing the heavy iron bars into ttaraocket*. Our hero f|^.«xplored the room whieh had aifo##lNl such tilnely eiieltor (rum a horrible death. Ii was dark Wad gloomy, and asDu Mont grojt&lilB way around in the darkness his mother gladly clnng to his arm, ferrwttiy thanking God that she was once more permitted to be with her brave and loyal sou. All the while the frantic mob without was venting their vengeance by assail­ ing the door, which creaked and rattled from the blows that would in a short time cause it to topple from the hinges, leaving tbe fugitives in the power of a relentless fee. Finally onr hero diac3vered a small trap-door near the center of the build­ ing, which he unclosed by accidentally pressing upon a secret spring. He pee led down into the opening, but everything was in utter darkness. The door that the mob was battering down began to show signs of giving way. J)u Mont hurridly descended into the evening, which had an entrance lead­ ing downward Isy the means of stone- steps. He first assisted his mother to descend, and then, by pcisejessly clos­ ing the trap-door lie sfiuf himself and his mother in a living tomb. Ilie fugitives went carefully down, down the narrow damp steps of their dungeon, until, having descended sev­ eral flights they reached nu iron door, which abrubtly terminated the passage- -y. Du Mont m >vef1 tit* hand ov^r the door in hope* tliat he might lined some way by which it could be opened, but his search was without avail. He then crouched to the,bottom of the dreary tomb to ascertain of what the pavement was composed of. His touch on every side met with cold flag-stones. They were walled in from the outside world, deep into the bowels of the earth. Ho cast his eyos around him in mute dispair, when he perceived a dim ruy of light from beneath the door he had so fruitlessly tried to unclose! Our hero's soul was stirred with a mingled thrill of joy and hope, for he believed whoever those walls en­ closed to be a friend to the aheient of the King. Pressing closo to the aperture from whence the light appeared he said: "For the love of heaven and the Kiug, give admittance to the son and his aged mother, who are fugitives from a murderous mob!" Du Mont awaited breathlessly for a resume, as he was aware that the mob might at any moment discover the re­ treat by which they had so miraculously escaped. At length, after the lapse of what i-eemcd an age to him, he heard in a low resnong-ive tone: "Whocalls?" M Madam Du Mont and her sonl" our hero replied. lnstautly he detected a grating sound, as of the removing of bolts and bars, when the door was quickly opened, revealing a human form, who hastily bade the fugitives THE DEVI Eti Kaois is 1?!

Du Mont rui-hed wildly into the street,where he suddenly encountered a young peasant lad, whom he liad on more than one occasion be­ friended. He immediately accosted the lad, who informed him that his mother had been taken before the dreaded Tribunal, condemned, and cast into prison. Hearing of the horrible fate of his eloved mother, Du Mont, with a n vow to be avenged, hastily pro- ceeuljf toward the place of the Tuil- ]erieH%2^1iich was then used as a prison for the vifetims of the mob. While utepnf? rapidly along his mind was filled inTili ti n awful forebod­ ings. , He was crossing a striiefc when tbe shinning court of the Tuim^i.es flashed before his vision. A crazed ni deningmob was assembled befcV«J enterance. Already had they b- the nithless murder of tho unfortu wretches. Instantly his blood yi stirred by a burning passion, for, quickly drawing his sword, he uttered a frantic howl as he dashed madly into their midst. Drawn np on each side of the prison entrance, leaving a passway for the doomed prisoners, stood the bloody executioner's, ready and eager to pounce upon another new victim. - The doors of the prison were flilBg open and a venerable old man was thrust rudely forth, he looked wildly around, brushed his long snow-white locks back from a brow that was of a marble hue. He tottered a few steps forward and fell. With a demoniacal cry a giant fiend in human form severed the head from the body with ucfe blow of the ax. The next victim cast forth was a beatiful girl, who gazed with terrified awe on the bloodthirsty fiends. With a wild piercing shriek she sank lifeless at their feet, which caused the mob to veil with rage at beiug cheated of their victim. Du Mont, in * beeathless horror, awaited every movement, expecting to see the form of his aged mother thrust out to meet an awful death at the hand of the bloody executioners. Again the doors of the prison were quickly thrown open, revealing a noble looking lady of some five and three score years. A smile of contentment rested on her beautifully serene countenance, as if she had placed her faith in that Su­ preme Beiog who has a crown in Heaven for the righteous. ' The mob seemed irresolute for a moment, while gazing upon that noble woman; but it was only for a moment, as the giant axman shouted: "Down with the aristocrat!" and, raising his ponder­ ous ax aloft, sprang forward. At the wild shout Du Mont raised his head, seeming to have become dazed by the awfulness of the scene. He looked toward the doomed woman, then in­ stantly uttering a most heart-rending cry, exclaimed: "my mother!" At the same instant Madame Du Mont recognized her son. She advanced for­ ward, bnt only a few feet, when alie was confronted by the giant execu­ tioner. Du Mont appeared to be possessed with a super-human power, for with lightning-like rapidity he raised his heavy sword and leaned forward, with one stroke cleaving the giant axman'u head from his shoulders; then, drawing bis mother tenderly to his side, litter- ally cut his way through the mob, who fell back in wonder at the terrific on­ slaught. The fugitives were rapidly passing through an archway in one of the streets before tbe mob realized that the prisoner was being rescued. They then rushed savagely after the fugitives, and were about over-hauling them, when Du Mont happily discovered an open doorway. He hastily drew his mother within, slamming the door in the face of the mob. He instantly se- .. .r *T. * ' "i: and the kind benefactor who had given the fugitives a place of refuge, clashed the hand of each and nobly said: "Madame Du Mont and son, thrice wel­ come to my dungeon home !* By this time the fugitives had be­ come Mifliciently accustomed to the mo­ mentary blindness, caused from the eye-< being exposed to the suddenness of the light, to recognize in their loyal host, the Marquis D'Vernon, who was a very warm friend. After happy greet­ ings had been exchanged by "the re­ united friend*, the Marquis drew back the heavy curtains which devided the low but not uncomfortable prison-likp home, and in a tender voice said: "Clarissa, my daughter, welcome our friends who have been guided to our retreat by the kind hand of Provi­ dence." The young lady came joyfully for- rd, warmly embracing Madame Mont, whom she had loved with an n akin to mother, ever since she wn uer, as her mother had she was but a child.

After several hours suspense Du joyfully realized that they were further danger from the baffled and furiated mob. As time wore 09.-Du Mont learned to passionately loVe the beau­ tiful Clarissa, who shyly en­ couraged but evaded his declar­ ations of love, until hi* whole soul went out to her in a pure, fervent devotion. Our hero thanked his stars that he had reached such a haven of refuge. One day Victor Du Mont was alone with Clarissa, in an apartment of their prison home. He had come from the prosence of the old Marquis, of whom he had cheerfully gained consent to woo and win the hand of the lovely girl. She was seated upon a lounge, and in the presence of our hero bright, rosy blushes mantled her countenance. He occupied a seat close beside her. "Clarissa," said be, "may I call you my own? for I love you as woman never was loved! With you my life would be blessed with everlasting hap­ piness." **I have always loved you,* she re­ plied, in low, tender words. The next moment she was drawn close to the heart of Victor Du Mont, as he passionately kissed her radiantly beautiful face again and again. The haupv couple received the bless­ ings of Madame Du Mont and the good Marquif a* oo« ^ blissful dream. « • , yp , : > • , # • • ; j - - • At length the refugees secretly quitted Paris for tbe shores of Switzer­ land, with its towering mountain peaks, covered in eternal snow, and its lovely vales.

And yearningly yowled the aban­ doned and shameless oat on the roof of th$ co&l shed. " Alalia," observed Mr. Billue, as he leaned back in his easy chair and looked contemplatively at his wife, "your nose reminds me of an interesting novel, my dear." "Why so, John?" she inquired. "Because it is red to the very end." Hoarsely murmured the night winds, per.severingly scraped the katydid and wilder grew the wail of the melanoholy cat on the coal shed. Mrs. Billus sat in silence, listening to the weird voices of the night, her hands folded in sublime contentment and her eye9 wandering from her husband's countenance to the shadow of the pro file moving up and down on the wall a<i the flame in the oozy grate fitly rose and fell. * "John," she said at last, "the color of your nose reminds me somehow of the government of Louisiana." "In what respect, Maria?" "Because," she answered softly, "It takes a lot o' rye to keep it up." Mr. Billus thoughtfully rubbed his nose and listened awhile iu pensive si lence to the mournful night wind, the voice of the insistent katydid and the despairing yowl of the ostracised cat in the back yar-d. "And that reminds me 'Maria,* he said, reaching out for another chair to rest his feet on, "that if I hadn't mar­ ried you, my dear, you would probably have been for the rest of your life like a lotterv ticket after the drawing." \ "Why?" ^Because you would have been all tornjup, nay dear."

It was dated at In­ dianapolis and read: "Your wife arcd baby burned up with the house last night. Come at once." It took us a quarter of an hour to bring him to, and it was half an hour later when he left the train.
