A Short Story of France.
The uight was a tempestuous one.
The scene was dismally black, and
the waters moaned as they rolled
onward. But the storm had notj
on^utr r ßhtfs4 r mAtt i
moments had passed under the J
shadow of a building, and from,
which no light streamed, Present
ly a second’ person, and that of a
female, passed in the same direction
and halted almost in the same spot.
Then the first party whispered a
name, and the second, with a low
exclamation Os pleasure, sprang ifi
to arms extended to receive her-
As she did so,she asked ;
f ‘Oh, Herman, why did you re
quest me to meet you iu this strange
place, and at this lato hour ? I
am really frightened, for every,
thing is so dismal, and the river
is so dark,’’
•‘Hush— not so loud, Julie, and
I will explaiu.”
‘Oh, do at onco. and let us de
part.’
‘Fear nothing, my darling, while
lam with you. But the fact is
this—l have been guilty of the
crime of forgery, and the police are
on my track, f inuit leave Paris
at once, and I sent for yon to ask
you if ycu will go with me T
‘Certainly—anywhere. But I
have something 1 would like to say
ii yon will promise not to be engry
with me. 5
‘I will not, my darling Julie.’
‘My brother, Francis says that
you are not the poor man you rep
resent yourself to be, but that you
are wealthy aud great, and will
never make your wife. Now. Her
man, will you not givo the lie to
this by wedding me at once ? You
know I have given up all for your
sake.’
‘You may trust me, Julie , vou
shall be my wite. But the night
is cold, and we will not remain
here.’
‘Come, then.’
‘Stay. First let me wrap your
shawl closer around you. Now
you shall have mv scarf.’
The man had so arranged the
covering that it hold the ai ms of
the girl close to her side. Then
he bandaged them down with the
scarf, which he tied firmly around
her body. Still, without
ing any foul play, the girl laughed
and said ;
You have pinioned my arms as
tightly as if I was to be led to ex
ecution.’
‘And you are,’ growled the vil
lain, as he suddenly hurled her
forward.
Her wail arose upon the night
air and mingled wish hurling wind.
A splash was heard in the water,
aud then al! was still. A.; the
monster gazed down into the black
liquid, he said
‘Well, you are forever outof mv
way, and wfll no lohger stand be
tween me and my desires. I can
henceforth fool that 1 am free.*
Ihe man had scarcely uttered
these words when he felt a power
fal grasp laid upon him, and turn
ing his head, lie saw but one per
son near Idm. Instantly his hand
wandered to his bosom, and he
drew forth a revolver, but it was
quickly tom from his grasp. Still,
he had a afout him, Amt
he clutched tips, but his arm re
ceived such a violent blow that, it
fell helpless by his side. Ho bch
began a foarfdl strugglo, bat it was
uspless, far the man who held him
in his grasp was as powerful as a
Giant.
Now lie wag lifted up and car
ried back as if he l|ad been a child.
Soon he found himself in a gloomy
cellar, and upon the dump ground.
There burned a dim light.’ which
was emitted Irom an oil lamp.—
Butiib third person appeared to be
present.
Presently tire villain heard voices
and he turned towards the door.
lie saw two men enter one of whom
bpre iujhis arms au inanimate form,
lie advanced and placed it up
on the ground near tho light.
Then the villair. saw the garments
dripping with water, and he re
cognized his viqtiin. She had been
dragged from the river, but not in
time to save her life.
Over her body her rescuer knelt
aud a groan escaped him ad he ap
peared to become sa tiffed that life
| was extinct in the poor creature.
But he suddeuly started to his feet
and confronted the murderer, his
| eyes glaring wildly and his breast
heaving with excitement. The
claimed :
‘Francois Lumley P
‘Aye, aud the brother of your
victim.’
T did not intend to harm her—
it was all an accident— (or I—’
‘What do you mean ?•»
‘I was abo.ut leaving the place
with hor, wheu she stumbled and
fell into the water.’
‘Fiend, there lies the body of her
you- first so foully wronged, an 1
then murdered, that, even as you
expressed yourself, she might no
longer stand betweeujyou and your
desires. Look upou her ghastly
face—.look upou it, I say and as
you do so, repeat the lie you have
uttered, but at the same time rev
momber that those words will be
about the last you will ever utter
in this world.’
‘Would you kill me ?>
‘As sure as you are breathing,
you will be iu another wot id in
fifteen minutes from this time.—
Swift Revenge is my mottod
‘You dare not harm me.’
‘And why not, pray ?’
‘Because my family are rich and
powerful. They would be most
terrribly avenged for my death.’
‘Let their vegeance tail. Were
you the Emperor himself nothing
now could save you. Prepare him
for his burial',’
The frightened wretch watched
the proceedings for a moment in
silence, and then he began to give
utterance to fearful shrieks. Not
the slighest attempt was made to
check these sounds. But the men
proceeded to tie his hands tightly
to his side, and then to hind his
ankles together. Phis done, thoy
attached a heavy weight to his
feet.
The wretch began now to under
stand what was to be done, and ho
began to beg most piteously for
his life. But when ho saw this was
of no avail, he once more set up his
howlings.
Everything ready, he was raised
iu the arms of the men and taken
to the aide of the river. Then
the word was given, and the form
of the villain went whirling thro
space. An agonized cry rang out
as the splash was heaid, and then
all became silent as the dark wai
ters engulphed the murderer, even
as they had closed over his poor
victim only a few moments belore.
That was a swift revenge.

| A PATHETIC HISTORY.
Two Daspoadcnt Seam* Girl. Resolve to
I Commit Suicide— They »re Saved by a
Into Sergeant. J
Oue evening last wet*, one of our poiibc
sergeants, connected with the Central Dis-
U-.ct, while on his way hofce imd his atten
tion directed to a little boy about twelve
years old. who was standing weeping bit
terly, near the corner wf tWth and Olive
street*, lie -topped and questioned bin,
wlmn the little fellow replied, in a voice
broken by sobs,-
‘'Motile is going to take poison, and if
she does, sister will, too, aud they both will
die!’’
The statement, of course, excited the al
ien Hon or the Sergeant, and he asked the
boy where he fired; and, baring with some
difilonlfy ascertained, ho accompanied ul.n
home. This hotnb consisted of one room irr
a large butlding, the occupants of which
were two young girls. The furture wan
scanty and miserable, and everything bore
the evidence of extreme poverty.
lint s ilollie !” said the boy, on eutcr
ing, and the Sergeant hud his attention di.
reeled to a young giri sitting at. a small
table apparently in the act of writing a
letter, Iler face was p*U and haggard,
wild a wretched old gown constituted her
attire. By hqr side <Ju the table, were two
stnuir bottles, one marked moiphiue aud
the other chloroform, In a few momenta
the officer ascertained the position of mat
ters. The girl had taken some of the dead
fy 'lrug, and was writing a farewell letter
to tho world 1 , for friends she hud node. The
other girl, siß'ter cl the boy, sat on a low
stool in a coiner of life room as if waiting
in suilon despair for ibe ntrai act.
The first step taken by the Sergeant was
to throw the bottlss dbt of the window,
and 1 then’he trirned to talk to the girl.
She reclined warily in the chair, and as
be approached said with a faint smile:
‘•Wbat did you do that lor/”
‘lt is poison,’ suid the Sergeant, -and has
no business in a young girl's room.’
•You are too late,’ was the reply. *1 have
As she spfike these words, she drooped
her head on the table, weeping convulsive
ly ,
hat did you do so wrong a work for/’
The girl replied iu a broken voice:
‘I had nothing to live for; she and I had
tried to get along, hut everythiug was
against us. We have no money and can
get uo work. I have l,een sick aud miser
able, The people down stairs called me a
prostitute, and I cannot go anywhere with
out meeting with insult. T have nothing
left m’e but to die; no friends, no home.’
These word?, spoken in a most pathetic
nanner showed the Sergeant exactly how
matter's stood. If he belore doubted that
the girl had really poisoned herself, he was
now nssnrcd of the fact, not only from her
words but hep niton nor, which indicated
plainly that she was fast falling under Ihe
intlaence of life dcudly nar cotic.' He im-
mediately went for a physician, aud the ac
cessary measures were takvu aud tho lifuof
tbe despa'ring girl saved . On questioning
the other girl found in the room, she said
that had Mwilie died she vould also have
taken poison. It appears that both have
.been working as sewing girls, until a few
w eks ago, when they lost employment and
became reduced to the verge ol starvation,
aud both had really determined to die rath
er than lVsoi tto ft life of vice to gain'a
livelihood. The only person who ever vis
ited their apartment was the little boy
brother to'oue ol them Hs spent hie days
wandering about the cify and returned at
night.
It was destined, however, that the acci
dental visit' of the Eolice Sergeant should
be the dawn of happier days. ITaving sat
isfied himself Ibat the girl whose life he
had saved was really of a spotless charac
ter, he took her to his own house and gave
her a place in hi* family, where she will re
main until she cah procure some steady
employment. 1I« discovered tin brother of
the other girl, and placed her in bis charge,
so that both arc now well provided for, and
will, we trust, never again be reduced to
the verge of despair aud suicide.
The story is a pathetic one; but, could
tbe reader have vis.ted that little room, as
we have bad it described to us. and seen tbe
two fair young girls so frieudless and hope~
less, both preparing to destroy their owu
lives, he would gain a clearer idea of some
of the tragic scenes enacted in onr wealthy
city than any words can portray.
