CHAPTER LVIII.
It was night, and the river bank was deserted.
The amateur fishermen were gone, and the river
sailors were eating supper in their boats on the
opposite shore.
Saint-Victor seated himself on the declivity
and reviewed in his mind all he had heard from
Gabrielle. The situation was a serious one, and
his first thought was:
“Is it loyal, is it honest, to continue see a young
lady whose brother is an officer of gendarmerie —
a man having for his special mission to arrest
the chouans and bring them befere a court-mar
tial ?”
The marriage dreamed of by Gabrielle seemed
to him impossible; he could not help thinking
thaaj‘'be wisest course to pursue would be to dis-
coi v ?{ ue these visits, that could only have a fa-
tai rumination.
And yet he felt that he had already lost the
control of himself. He loved passionately and
sincerely Major Robert’s sister, and he would
sooner die than give her up. His love was so
ardent that, for a moment, he thought of going
at once to Georges Cadcudal, telling him all, and
asking him to relieve him of his oath of con-
pirator. But lie knew that such a step taken on
the eve of a decisive action would be considered
cowardice by his general and by his own com
rades. One does not resign in presence of the
"■nemy. Since he was engaged in the conspir-
/, be must go to the end, even at the cost of
nis life and happiness. Finding no solution to
the dilemm abelore him,he consoled himself with
' e following reasoning;
When we shall be through with the First Con
sul, and the King shall be back on his throne,
J I will be the conqueror, and Robert the con
quered. Nothing then shall hinder me from
protecting him against my friends, the Royalists,
ind asking of him his sister’s hand.”
this hope— no little imaginary—he plunged
iself in those reveries so dear to lovers, but
j*As soon disturbed in his thoughts by Malabry,
Wl )0 shook him by the arm, saying:
“I went all around, and now I know the park
like a bcok.”
“How did you get out?” asked Saint-Victor,

1 “The same way I went in—by the break.”
I? “Which break?”
H “Y’onder, towards the corner of the wall,
here is a place where a few stones have been a
ittle dilapidated; I had not much difficulty in
lijobing there. AYhen in the park, I visited
•very nook, and could go through it now blind
folded.”
"Then you could find your way on a dark
night, could you?”
“Certainly I could, and a dozen patrols could
not catch me, by the blue-coats, for I discovered
a sort of a cave. The entrance is hidden under
the bushes, and in case of emergency I would
have there a sure hiding place. Besides, we
could use it as a sort of arsenal where to deposit
weapons, clothes, etc.”

“This is only the 1st of September, and yon ! bad a tea party that night, for she was inclined j
She regretted this circumstance, which pre
vented her from opening her heart to her broth
er and asking his protection for Saint-Victor.
The latter, on the contrary, considered that
departure most providential, since it gave Cadou-
dal plenty of time to accomplish his undertak
ing.
“Before Major Robert will be back,” he
thought to himself, “Bonaparte will be gone
and the Royalists in power, which will raise all
difficulties.” So he thought it useless to take
any precautions.
He had no trouble in avoiding explanations,
for Gabrielle did not ask for any. All absorbed
in the happiness of loving and being loved, she
was satisfied with the present, forgetful of the
past, and had no uneasiness about the future—
and Saint-Victor was in exactly the same dispo
sition of mind. The fragile skiff bearing their
love was floating smoothly between two flowery
shores, down the treacherous current that would
lead to a bottomless abyss. Everything rocked
them softly in a deceptive security. Their meet
ings—which now took place almost every night
—had never been disturbed. Surely Malabry
was a good sentinel, for, although the rural
guards made their rounds as usual, no one had,
thus far, surprised the lovers unaware. Two or
three times the hooting of the owl—which was
the rallying cry of the chouans—gave them warn
ing that somebody was coming; but nobody ever
went as far as tbe bowlingreen. Saint-Victor, in
such instance, left by going between tbe wall
and the live hedge, and Gabrielle hid for a mo
ment in the thicket. She did not know the sig
nal nor who was giving it; Charles Yalreas had
only told her that a friend was -watching over
them. Anyhow, he did not know much more
than herself, not having asked any information
from Malably.
He met him every morning in the garden of
Palais-Royal. Cadoudal's orders began now to
have their effect. Every day at 12 o’clock, all
the chouans came regularly and took a walk un
der the trees in front of Galerie de Valois, seem
ingly strangers to each other.
Pierre Maneheu had not appeared yet, hut
was expected every day. Whenever Saint-Vic
tor had agreed with Gabrielle to meet her at
night, he found tbe way to let Malabry know it
by saying to him, as he passed him in the walk
before the Galerie de Valois: *
“I’ll want you to-night.”
Malabry did not answer, but Saint-Y'ictor was
sure he would be at his post at night.
How he managed to protect the bowlingreen
against all intrusion lie never told, and his
friend did not inquire. They both used to come
back to Paris together by Saint-Germain stage,
which they took at its passage through Bueil.
The two friends expected the nightly visits
would soon be at an end, on account of the at
tack on the First Consul, that could not be de
layed much longer. Tney were as anxious to
receive Cadoudal’s orders for them to go to the
inn of Chant dn Cog as Gabrielle was anxious
to see her brother. She had so many things to
tell him!
One night of the third week of September,
she was at Mme. Desrosiers’ who occupied a
beautiful apartment in the chateau, and who
‘And what has occurred between them ? ”
“Imust first tell you that this terrible boot
has shown itself several times. The other
guards had already met it, and had been so
scared that they ran from it. But Landouiller,
who is an old soldier, wished to know a little
more about it. Tuesday night, as he was on
duty making his round, he found himself face
to face with the ghost.”
“ Where was that ghost?”
“Near the large alley through the lawn, by
the path leading to the bowlingreen. As the
moon shone, Landouiller had a good opportu
nity to examine it. He told me that the appari
tion looked like a boot at least fifteen feet high.”
“Has Landouiller attacked it?”
“He drew his sabre to transfix it, hut the sabre
was snatched from his hand, he cannot tell how.”
“Then he ran like the others, I suppose,”
said the widow, shrugging her shoulders.”
“ No, Madame.” answered Mme. Desrosiers,

show the danger of this practice he gives several
cases which have come under his own observation.
The first is a case of convulsions. The attending

The next case, that of an old gentleman suffer

was attended by a young physican who had gained
some notoriety by the use of the hypodermic
syringe. He injected morphine on this occasion,
and in a few minutes became alarmed at the con
dition of his patient. He at once sent for another
physician, who, on his arrival, learned the con
dition of things. Noble-hearted man that he was,
to save the young man’s, reputation, he pronounced
it a case of apoplexy. By prompt and persever
ing treatment he succeeded in saving the old man’s
life. He then advised the young man in a friend
ly way, to be a little cautious how he used the
squirt in the future.”
Texas Baptists.
As early as 1825, Joseph Bays, of the Baptist
church, preached at the house of Moses Shipman
on the Brazos, and in 1859, elder Thomas Hanks
preached at the same place. A church was or
ganized in East Texas in 1837, elder Z. N. Mor
rill, (who is still living,) organized a church in
Washington. In 1838, elder Isaac Reed organiz
ed Union church near Nacogdoches; and in 1839,
churches were constituted at Independence, at
Travis and at Plain Grove. The Union Association
was formed at Travis, Oct. 8th. 1840. In 1843,
the Sabine Association was formed, five churche

In regal robes Chaldea's king was clad—
With festal joys his eager heart o’erflowed ;
And to that scene his thousand lords he hade,
Where gorgeous palace in new beauty glowed ;
Where maidens fair, in Beauty's form and gay,
In rival splendor flashed their varied chirms.
And ail that wealth and beauty could display
Resplendent shone from neck and feet and arms.
Bright o’er that scene a thousand lamps do gleam;
The sense-enchanting vision seems a dream.
The blood, wine-maddened quickens through the veins,
And music rolls in soft, volnptuous strains.
Vacated now is proud Belshazzar's throne,
And Pleasure claims the regnancy her own.

ANOTHER TERRIBLY TRAGICAL CASE
is given in which a lady had a pain in one of her
sholuders. In the morning, the family physician,
a man of knowledge and experience, injected
morphine into the arm, and relieved her in a few
minutes. “ In the evening he called again, and
found his patient well, but thought to secure a
good nights, rest, it would be well to inject a little
morphine, which he did, and in thirty minutes
BIS PATIENT WAS A CORPS.”
Dr. Wenger, of Illinois, who reports these cases,
makes this commeut: “ I have other cases that I
could mention, but these are enough to satisfy me
that the hypodermic syringe should not be used
when there is any possible way of giving the medi
cine in any other way.” Dr. Ingals, of Chicago,
to whom the report was made, says that he, and
two of his medical friends “ have had unp’easant
experiences with the use of morph^i by hypodermic
injections.” And then he makes this strong dec
laration: “ I am satisfied that no precaution can be
taken which will insure us against accidents from
this mode of treatment,”
And yet, the men who every day give morphine
and all kinds of poisonous and dangerous drugs
through every avenue of the system, natural and
artificial, are horrified at the idea of putting a pa
tient with fever into a wet-sheet pack; and some are
even afraid to sponge with cold water in such cases,

“It is at the end of a long walk that leads to

to imitate Mme. Recamier.
Gabrielle did not attend all the soirees given
by Mme. Desrosiers; she was a pet of Mme Bo
naparte, and she preferred, of course, the com
pany of the First Consul’s wife to Mme. Desro
siers. But the good Josephine had remained in
Paris for a Tuileries reception, and Mile. Robert
could dispose of her time. She choose to go to
Mme. Desrosiers’ in preference to secluding her
self in her room. Moreover, at 12 that night
she was to meet Saint-Victor in the park, and
she wanted to show herself among tbe crowd
before going to her room, and from there to the
bowlingreen, through a private staircase lead
ing to the apartments below.
The company was not numerous, but well
selected, for Mme. Desrosiers had the name of
receiving none but the best, although her posi
tion in the chateau was very little above do
mesticity. Among the guests were three ladies
of the new court, neither young nor perhaps
very elegant, but wives or widows of officers,
and, as such, admitted by right to the First Con
sul’s receptions.
