" 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 ?

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.

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 soon be made straight. The ' innocent will be cleared and the guilty brought to justice." There were two poisons"among than present who did not by any means desire the feulfilment of tale prediction. In foot, Remind had for some, little time been feeling anxious as to the emcees of hie plane: He had nob calculated on their being so long. detained, and he know very well that every 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 - Helene. They carried damning proofs of 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.

All this premed rapidly through his brain, while the attention of those present was all directed to Charles and his mother.
