"Say, with your hand.ou the blessed crucifix. do you know the man who killod•our father ?" " 1 doknow him." " When 'did you make the discovery ?" " Yesterday." " Where?" "At Toulouse." " Name the murderer." At these words, the priest closed his hand ! fast on the cruoifix„.And rallied his sinking courage. " Never!" hesaid firmly. " The knowledge I possess was obtained in the confelsional.— , The secrets of the confessional are seared.— ;If I betray them, I commit sacrilege. I will die first !" " Think!" said Jean. "If you keep si lence, you screen the murderer. If you keep silence, you are the murderer's accomplice.— ' We have sworn over our father's dead-body to avenge him—if you keep silence, we will a venge him.on you. I charge you again, name the man who killed him." " I will die first," the priest reiterated, as firmly as before. " Die then !" said Jean. " Die in that cal dron of boiling "Give him time," cried Louis and Thomas, earnestly pleading together. " We will give him time," said the younger brother " There is the clock yonder, against the wall. We, will count five minutes by it. In those - five minutes let him make hie peace with God—or make up his mind to speak." They waited, watching the clock. Iti,that dreadful interval, the priest dropped on his knees and hid his face. The time passed in dead silence. " Speak ! for your own sake. for our sakes, speak!" said Thomas Siadoux. as the minute hand reached the point at which the five min- utes expired. The priest looked up—his voice died away on his lips—the mortal agony broke out on his face in•great drops of sweat—his head gank forward' on his breast. '• Litt him 1" cried Jean, seizing the priest on one side. 44 Lift him, and throw him in !"

From the time when the terror of death had forced him to reveal the murderer's name, a great change had passed over him. lie had given his answers with the immovable calmness . of a man on whose mind all human interests had loot their hold. He'now left the room, strangely,absorbed in himself r moving with the mechanical regularity of a sleep walker; lost to all perception of things and persons about him. At the door he stopped— woke, as it seemed, from the trance that pos sessed him —and looked at the three brothers with a steady °hang 'less sorrow, which they had never seen in him before, which they never afterwards forgot. " I forgive you," he said, quietly and sol emnly. "Pray for me when my time comes." With those last words, he left them. ELIE= The night was far advanced ; but the three brothers determined to set-forth-inatantly-for Toulouse, and to place their information in the inagintratO's hands, before the morning dawn ed. Thus far, no suspicion had occurred to them of the terrible consequences which were - to follow' their night interview with the priest.— They were absolittely ign.rant of the punish ment to' which a man in holy orders exposed himself, if he revealed the secrets of the ° con fessional No infliction of that punishment had been known in their - neighborhood--for, at that time, as at this, the rarest of all.priest ly offences was a violation of the sacred trust confided, to the confessor by the RomaisChurch. Conscious that t , ey had forced the priest into the.commissiorrof a clerk;al offence, the broth• ere sincerely believed that the loss of his cu racy would be the heaviest penalty which the IRW could exact from him They entered Tou louse that night, discussing the atonement which they might offer to Monsieur Chau' erd, and the means which they might best employ . to make his future life easy to him. The first disclosure of the consequences which would certainly follow the outrage they had committed. was revealed to them when they made theirdeposition before the officer of justice, The magistrate listened to their narrative with horror vividly expressed in his face and manner. ".Better you had never been born," hp said, " than have avenged your father's death as you three have avenged it. Your own &et he doomed the guilty and the innocent to puffer alike." Those words ; proved prophetic of the truth. The end came quickly...as the priest had fore seen it when he spoke his i arcing words. The arrest of Cantegrel was accomplished without difficulty, tit next. morning. In the absence of any other evidence on which tojus tify this proceeding, the private disclosure to the authorities of the secret which the priest had violated became inevitable. The Perlis -meat of Languedoc was, under the circum stances, the tribunal appealed to; and-the de cision of that assembly immediately ordered the priest and the three brothers to be placed, in confinement., as well as the murderer Can tegrel. Evidence wae t henimmediately sought for, which might convict this last, criminal ? . without any reference to the revelation that had been forced from the priest—and evidence enough was found 'to satisfy judges whose - minds already posttgesed the foregone pertainV of the prisoner's guilt. lie was put, on his; trial, was convicted .of the murder, and, wag; condemned to be broken on the, wheel.
