They hed elackened their pace. Their feet
bad. grown exevemely teader and their limbs
were benumbed. They rested on a heap of
stones by the roadside. They wished to
push on to Remiremont where they hoped

house. The moment they got to it they
stopped. Tneir courage failed them. It
was the first step they were making in a life
of misery and humilie.tinn. Since morning
they had needed nobody but now they were
hungry. Nature cried out in revolt. They
were powerless against her. They were

pride of the Bargemonts. There was &bench
against the house, in a little back garden
nob far froro the road. They let themselvee
sink down on it. Both of them were weep-
ing. They could never bring themselves to
it. It was stronger than they, than their
will, than their weal nese, than hunger it-
self. No, they would rather die. .And so
they sat on. Their tears- ran down their
cheeks, and checked thole bitter course at
the corners of their lips. The house was
inhabited, and yet although •it was a
tavern nobody was coming in or going out

• clouds grew more somber still. Although
it was only midday, it seemed almost night.
Whey were quite warm when they sat down.

were chattering. And hunger, vulgar but
terrible, had them in its grip. Izabal re-
