have said, Voban understood imperf-

and if Gabord, when he returned, sus-

down two stools, seating himself ou
one. as I seated myself on the other
fairs was more to his nifnd than the
long rigour and silence. During all
that time I never was visited by Dol-
taire but once, and of that event I
am about to write briefly here.
It was about two months before
this particular morning that he came,
greeting me courteously enough.
"Close quarters here." said he,
looking round as if the place were
new to hint and smiling to himself.
"Not so close as we all come to one
day," said 1.
I should need it most. I got it now.
and no man can guess how lovingly I
held it to a flying flame of the torch,
saw it light, and blew out the first
whiff of smoke into the sombre air;

other winter was at hand! I sat and
smoked, and—can you not guess my

same hearts. being British born and
bved? When I had taken the last
whiff. T wrapped myself in my cloak
and went to sleep. - But twice or
thrice during the night I waked to see
the torch still shining, and caught
the fragrance of consuming pine, and
minded not at all tbe smoke the
burning lnade.
I was wakened completely at •last
by the shooting of bolts. With the
opening of the door I saw the figures
of Gabord and Voban. My little
friend the mouse saw them also, and
scampered from the bread it had been
eating, away among the corn, through
which my footeteps had now made
