"Oh, it is!" I broke in with a little laugh. "I am glad to know that!"

"Citizen, you surprise me!" protested Dubosq; and I saw that he was in earnest. "I thought you more of a philosopher. Since this is the end, why worry about it?"

"I will try not to," I said; "but at twenty-one the end comes rather early."

"True," he agreed, and gazed at me contemplatively; "I had forgot that you were so young."

"At any rate, I thank you for your interest," I said.

"Not in the least," I protested. "I did not lie--I had never seen Favras before. He took my horse by force, as I related to you; but I found him awaiting me at the next town. He restored my horse to me and insisted that I spend the night at his ch?teau."

"Faith, citizen," said Dubosq with a laugh, "you'd better have lost your horse and spent the night under a hedge. As it is, you lose your life and enter the eternal night."

"Yes; there's no help for that, I suppose?"

"Not if Citizen Goujon has ordered it."

"He did order it," broke in one of my persecutors, who had listened to all this with ill-concealed impatience, "and at once."

"Tavernay," I prompted.

"Oh, yes; I remember. Well, if you have any messages, Citizen Tavernay, I'll be glad to take charge of them. It's the only kindness I can do you, I'm afraid."
