The wretched Lanelow sunk down with
a groan. uttering the vilest blasphemy, and
calling upon Almighty God to curse his
murderess. Andante Dubois made no far
ther reply. but perceiving•there was foam
upon his lips: she went out and locked the
.I ,or behind her, and carried away, the key.
fn n f w ntin,itr, she sto id within the Hull
of the tribunal where she beheld her hus
band alreadv arraigned to meet his doom—
it tieingrht desiqn of the vile ',lncome, if
she acceeded to his terms, as she had the
night before informed hint she would, to
have the husband on his way to the scaffold
while he was dishonoring her.

"1 have come ter die with you. We are re

tossing the key to the astonished
"go search for your vile chief in his owe

his black, swollen and hideous carcass, gaze
upon it and tremble. for such or a similar
death Will, sooner or later, be your fate I.'
It is imi!Ossible to describe the scene
that followed. as the horrified judges rushed
Irons their seats to learn the truth or . falsity
of Nlodame Dubois' words. ! Suffice it to
say that in half on hour they returned, pale
with horror and rage, and proceeded to pro
t oonce sentence of death upon M. Dubois
and his!youn , and beautiful wile. Half an
hour-later the Tribunal was closed fur the
day and all Bordeaux was in a state of. ex
citement at the strange thews • that had
spread as if flung'upon! the wings of heav

from the prison to the scaffold were swarm
ing with people, all eager to get ti sight at
M. Dubois and his lovely, heroic tVife, who

on, their way to the place -of exectition,
while all the bells of the city were solemnly
tolling lor the death of President Lancome.
