Wanted IMEMIIMMerfo Self Condemned By MARGARET C. DEVEAUX Copyright by American Press Asso• elation. 1911. Si. le Judge Curicr was dispensing -Ifustice on the trench during the French C+eecolution. The justice be was d!s- eseensing was between classes, not iudi- ••vlduals. The nobles had tytauuized surer the common people for centuries. :Now the common people were endtav- ..11tug to extirpate the nobles from the lace of the earth. Judge Curter was sending a batch of thein to the guillo- tine. "Who is this?" be asked, seeing a Kiri, a mere cuild, brought before Lim. "Citizeness Elise Senate" replied the offleer of the guard. ' "t\'bo ordered her brought Imre? Sbe 3s not old enough to—to understand the difference between patriotism and tyr- :ga.ny." "She was Included in a list furnished shy D1. Marat." "`indeed," said the judge, frowning. -"M. Marat is accustomed to make in- igniries if all those on his lists have been—taken care of." `,But this one—did he know that she k a child?" The officer shook his head. M. Ma- [at's brain was not open to him to look into. • The judge pondered a few moments. There was 'something wrong in this ease.' Possibly a list had been made I':'out and presented to some one in au- thority who bad signed the Warrants accompanying it while thinking of something else. Nevertheless the judge did, not dare disobey the order he had Leceived to sentence every one sent be- fore him. "Take' her away with the others," he said reluctantly. He was looking down into the child's face pityingly. She saw the expression -- on the judge's face. Children are quick to recognize their friends, and the mar- quise, not understanding that the judge had sent her to the guillotine, smiled at him. Then a soldier took her 6ittie hand in his andled her away i with the others. The judge asked one standing by. "something about herand was told that she was the Marquise de Bellair, and ,h since she alone represented the Bel "elairs and since the revolutionary com- 1,i n ittee was anxious that no member of <r the family should be Left alive the child had been 'narked for execution. When the deed had been done it would him put down to an error. . The judge went home that evening, 'nand his own little daughter, about the ;age; of the child he bad, condemned, sat upon. his lap, put her arms about neck and kissed him. "E low hot your face is, papal" she ;lrniix ' He unwound ber arms, gently put Ef> ! ,a.way. and called, dor ag1n e „e wine. He had stood up under the grim duties required of him till the matter of the little, marquise had. re- quired his attention: He did not eat his dinner and went to bed feverish. The smile he had received from the little marquise had uunerved him. All night he lay in bed, two sights coating up alternately before his mental vision —the one the marquise's smile, the oth- er ber little figure lying on the guil- lotine, the drop of the knife and ber little curly Wad dropping into the basket. In the morning Judge Curler looked as if he had passed through.a fit of sickness. He ate nothing. spoke not a word. When he' went out after breakfast his little daughter put up her arms, as was her custom, for her morning hug and kiss. Her father put her away and left her' standing with tears in her eyes in the hallway. The judge;tnrued into e boulevard ,. and after following it for awhile en- tered a street that led him to the Place de la Revolution, now the Place de la Concorde. it is tine of the iioet spacious plazas in the world, lying as it does between the Champs d'Elysees and the gardeus of the Tuileries. Cur• triages drive through it, but few who. ride or walk past its fountains and its obelisk think of the work that was going on there more than a hundred years ago. A crowd was collecting about the guillotine, and a tumbrel was driven up loaded, with, condemned persons. As is passed the judge he caught sight of a little figure about half the height of the others and saw a little hand waving to him. He walked on and joined the party at the guillotine. At the moment an officer began to call names from a list he had in his hand; "Citizeness Elise. Bellair!" The judge approached, took the child by the hand and said: "I condemned this child by mis- take." He was recognized by the officials and permitted to lead tbeFlittle mar- quise away. She was never seen again in Paris till long after the revolution. She re- turned a middle-aged woman. When the judge went home that evening he, seemed to have the seal ot death upon his brow, He took his, little daughter, in his arms, while tears rolled down his cheeks. In the middle df the night there was a knock at bis door. The judge went downstairs and met .an officer, who told him he was under arrest for being in conspiracy with the emigres. The visit -was not unexpected. and the Prisoner went with the soldiers with out a word of protest. A week later a tumbrel drove up to the guillotine in the Place de la Reece' !title!), and among those who stepped out was Judge Curler. He died on the engine of death from which he ,had saved the Marquise de Bellair. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA Verna Miss Maggie Reid formerly of this ;placer was married 110 IV Ir.
