Her heart eank at she looked round her.
A ; eyes were fixed on her—the baleful
glanoem of the two evil -looking atraugere,
the grave, severe look ef M. Dumont, and
the herd, meeetrating, jadiolal gaze of the
gendarme.. She telt oho was in tomo terrible
' " In the mama of heaven," she cried, In

" It swans," replied the brigadier; "that
a terrt tle grime has been committed."
She hell rose bo her feet, grasping the
thine beside her for aupporb, as she glanced

" Yee, 'wretotted woman," said M. Da-
, " the nnfertanate M. Germenil has
been tonne, murdered this night I Speak,
thee, and prove is ue if yea Dna that you
are nob guilty of this wicked deed."
She lifted her hands to her head with a
gestate as - though gibe could net quite
. grasp the meaning of what he said, re-
peaebing his words in low, horror etrioken
tones. •
" M. Germenil has been murdered 1"
'Then after a pause she seemed to -realize the
position she woo in. " My God 1" she
ogled in pia -wing tones, "de 1 hoar aright?
Yon ooeuse me of murdertng him; my bene-
,faceor? Before that God whose wrath fella
thee heavily upon use I swear to you that I
am innocent."

he added, examining the puree which had
'been 'token from Marie's pocket, " one—

He had long wattled, but the wheals

The brigadier had arranged Ms papers in

hand ready to note dow.a the answers of
Marie, who sat trembling before him with
downcast eyes.

" Mario Beaumont," oho replied in almost
inaudible tortes.
Roger was about to continue his interro-
gabory when anunexpected interruption
eoourred On the mention of this name M.
Dumont and Charles exchanged seartled
looke and the former eagerly asked,
" Marie Beaumont did you any your name
was i!"
" Marts Beaumont."
The answer in the affirmative wee given
with such hesitation that it led to further
gaestione, and after white she adinitied
that she had had a child—a eon—which she
had been obliged to abandon immediately
after its birth.
" You were then ander the enrpielon of
theft,"; ata'fttl M. Dumont, "and was on your
way to Glrenoble hitherto of the gendarmes
when you escaped, and "—
"rWho are you ?' she cried wildly—tor
in the whlbe haired, clean shaven old man
'elle did not reoognlze the sorrowing un-
shaven stranger who had taken her child.—
"' who knows ail Shia and epeake te me of
my child ? If you know aught of him, tell
ins if he still lives."
" He doss," answered M. Dumont, re-
straining Charles, who was oaths point off
speaking, white' Mario thanked heaven
terve/illy for having spared her child, even
though she might never see hind. She had,
she said, deprived herself of the consolation
ef keeping him with her and abandoned
him to e srangera, and she would reb now
darken him yotaug ilio with the slimy of
guilt which hung seer her own.
" Though I was innocent then, as 1 am
now," she said, " of the crime ef which I
have been accused.' Bat, alas 1" she added
in pathetic tones, "unable to prove it new
as then. I am condemned to wear out my
wearylife friendless and alone.'
Deeply moved, M. Duutout turned away
to hide bis emotion, while Charles, who
could no longer reutrain himself, sprang
forward; and, to the utter amazement of
thetas present, alarmed her in hie arms, cry-
ing : " No, no ; not any longer friendless
and mono. Mother, you have a son 1"
" My son 1 My son t Ah, God be
praised, and you, too, to find my son in you,
who, when I wasnothing to yea bub ^a

pttiful to me. Bab," she added, turning to
M. Dumont, " is this true? Is this really
true 2"-
M. Dwinont captained that it was quite
true ; that he was bile stranger she had seen
take the child franc before the shrine, where
she had laid it.
This explanation was listened to with
many exolamablons of wonder from those
around, on whom this extraordinary revela-
tion had came like a thunderolap.
" 'Truly," said the cure, until then silent,
" inscrutable are Who ways of Providence..
Be of good heart, my friends. All will

minute added to the risk of their detection.
He knew the gendarmes were looking for
him and his companion, and if their iden-
tity with the fugitives 'from the prison at
Lyens were ones eitabliehed the breath of
suspicion would inevitably be braneferred
from Matto to them: Once arrested, it
would be itnposslble for them to clear them -

their guilt upon them in the shape of the
stolen notes—which would certainly be
found, as their clothes wore sure to be
searched by the gendarmes.
He felt anything batwell (Unposed toward

suited him, ho would shoot as little consid-
eration for She son as for the mother.
All this premed rapidly through his brain,
while the attention of those present was all
directed to Charles and his mother. He
explained to his companion that they had
better seize the opportunity of endeavoring
to get away.
Bertrand nodded assent. He was tee
frightened to speak. 'He seemed to feel
