J nn e I g I 6 R o n ndu p A nn u a I D ' lvry ' s heart seemed to stop midway its leap. His wife, the partner of his joy and sorrows, dead ! It could not be. Observing Danton gazing at him as if intent to surprise any start of anguish, D ' lvry controlled his feeling and, although he wished more to give vent to his agony, he as- sumed the sleepy stolidity of the peasant. Satisfied that no husband could stand such a shock as had just been launched without some show of emotion, Danton said : Your pardon. Citizen, I fear Citizen Durant has been mistaken. Turning to the guard, he continued, Set this man free immediately. Good luck on your journey, Citizen. But I will write you a passport. After receiving the passport D ' lvry returned to the jail and secured his cloak. As he walked slowly down the road he turned over in his mind his last meeting with his young wife. She could not be dead. The state- ment was merely to test him. With this thought he endeavored to solace himself, though doubt struggled with belief in his mind. After four days ' journeying he reached the channel, being stopped several times by bands of Terrorists, who at sight of his passport let him go. He embarked on the Stalwart and after three days ' rough voyaging reached England. Then in four more reached Staffordshire, the home of his wife ' s cousin. He had, before embarking, bought a suit of dark cloth and had replaced the hated red-cap with a cocked hat, so his appearance excited no comment in the village. He asked the way to his cousin ' s resi- dence and soon reached it. Going up the walk he knocked at the door. A young woman dressed in deep mourning opened it. It was his wife! Henri! Alys! In a moment they were clasped in each other ' s arms. BROUGHTON BRULE, ' 16. There ' s a spot in my heart that no pleasure may own. There ' s a depth in my soul only Cicero has known. There ' s a time in the ' sembly. to my grief, that you fill. No pupil can help me, no one can nor will. Sure I love that dear Cicero, with no worry nor care, Yet to ask aid from Miss Chestnutt, I hardly do dare. And I love that dear prose book, so easy to write, O for you, dear Cicero, I must work day and night. LAURA PEARSON, ' 17. Nineteen

D ' lvry looked around and found himself in a poor, dimly lighted hovel, whose inhabitants were no doubt at that time engaged in the laudable occupation of separating the once lords of the lands ' heads from their bodies. He possessed himself of a ragged cloak that hung in a corner and walked hurriedly down the alley. Presently he came to a de- serted inn and after assuaging the pangs of hunger with some cold meat that stood on a sideboard, he lay down near the fireplace and slept. The next morning he started to make his way toward the channel. As he reached the outskirts of the city he met numerous bands of red- caps whom he passed with the excuse of going to bury his father who had died a few days before. That evening he reached the little village of Frontenac. As he passed through the streets the people gazed curiously at him. In front of the inn a group of men. wearing the familiar insignia of La Republic were talk- ing. As he neared them DTvry recognized, with a start of fear, his enemy, Durant, whom he had last seen at the court, but who now seemed to have been miraculously transformed into a Citizen. He muffled his face and attempted to hurry past. Durant gazed sharply at him, doubt struggling with recognition in his countenance. Decided at last, ' he shouted, Seize the man. he is an Aristocrat. At the sound of the hated name the group was galvanized. Seizing DTvry, they tore off his cloak. What is your name? one heavy-browed ruffian asked. Jacques Stephen, Citizen, DTvry answered, ' here are you going? D ' lvry explained. Clap him into prison until Danton comes. said Durant. So D ' lvry was has tened to the stone barn that served as a jail. The next morning D ' lvry was awakened by the Citizens and taken to the inn where Danton, who had arrived an hour before, had taken up his head-quarters. Attended by two burly Citizens he was brought before the great man. Behind Danton, who was seated at a table, stood Durant, who glared maliciously at him as he entered the room. Citizen, stand forth, said Danton. D ' lvry obeyed. What is your name? said Danton. D ' lvry repeated the story he had told the others. At the end of his recital Durant stepped from behind Dantcm and leveling a finger at him said, I say this man ' s name is D ' lvry, and he is an Aristocrat of the deepest dye. Danton gazed sharply at D ' lvr} ' , wh( met the attack with an ex- pression of utter ignorance. Citizen, he said, I know nothing about D ' lvry. A ' ery well, said Danton. go and sit down ri er there until we de- cide what to do with you. Durant and Danton talked together for a time, while D ' lvry sat on the rude bench, uncertain what his fate was to be, but resolved if the worst came, to meet his death like a gentleman. By the way, said Durant, speaking to Danton, Did you hear that Madame D ' lvry was seized as she was boarding a ship for England and torn to pieces? E i ■ h t e e n
