T h e roaad r eplied t h a t i t w as certainly veryjwoijg' of monsienr, bni that oU men were alike when on© knew them , and that madame w o u ld do better, to keep her discovery from m onsienr. However, niadama“did n o t accept this sage advice. T h a t v e r y nigh t th e m aid heard her scream ; “ You w ill k ill me 1” showed and the next morning m u d p ie sh her a black m a r t about h e r neck, told her that m o n sieur had bee: greatly angered b y her reproaches that he had choked her with, h is hands. A g a in t h e m aid advised her inistresa to b e q,niet and say no more, but it was evident that nnpleasant s c e n es frequent ly occurred. M adame often told L u c ille, the m aid, that ehe was really in fear of her l ife. One morning madame was ill-, strange ly ilk—Berionsly i t seCmed to Iiueille. Monsieur, probably repenting hie late nn^m d n ess £he ^ irl than thought, re- mainedinUierooia tvitli her, and was {dl attention. Tea had been brought up ; a cup of i t had stood by the bedside. “ G ive m o som e lea, Carl. l a m dy ing of thirst,” said the lady. T h e hnsband. lifted the cup to her lips. She emptied it, save for the dregs. “ H o w kind he is , ” she said. “ H e has been givin g m e those refreshing dfinks ail night.” Monsieur thereupon whispered to Lu- eflie, in a Iqpf tofto : “ I fea r ih y wife is wandering in her, mind.

She had done all she could to bring him to jus tice ; she was glad that she had done so. As the days of his imprisonment flew on she felt no pity for him. As i dawned on which he was to die sh« solved, i f possible, to see him . hung. She had a friend within the prison and easily obtained permission to gratify her terrible wish. “ One w h o c o u ld kill m y dear m isiresk is but a dog,” she said; ‘‘I shall be happy to see him meet a , dog’s death,” So she passed on to the spot where the black gallows could be seen. She wore the cap of her class, a skirt shorter than a lady’s would have been, and a dainly polonaise. The skirt was a black silk One she had worn on the morning of madame’s death, 3he had put it on be- canse the handsome young doctor was expected, if truth must be told.
