Do vou think they would care t Or would they say she was a little fool, and It served her right?" "What is the matter, pet !" "Oh, nothing nothing whatever," and she laughed again musically, "I was simp y thinking.

A. number of the young men had crossed Canal street and were passing up St. (fharles toward Common, others continuing their way k.ong Canalto Baronne. A handsome, small, delicate Btudcnt emerged from the crowd. He had hands as white and small as a woman's, long black hair, a pale, thoughtful face, and large, calm, expressive eyes. I was introduced to him,, and he grasped my hand warmly and firmly. "Have you anything to do to-night, Gol- son?" "Anything to do !

GoLtou paid no attention to the insult, nd watched her with f awinated gaze. His face was somewhat paler that usual, ia spite of the red glare. He did not move a single muscle. Zoe had pawed the middle of the street the most daogrrous place ami continued ber walk toward the other end. She toiled up the Incline, the rope depressing undrr her tiny, nimble fret, and at last jumped safe and suuod upon the opposite roof. A tremendous deafening shout arose from the mob, and the plucky girl threw a bunch of kisses at Uolsno. The t-olor had returwd to his face with nnnalural intensity, and the look of absorb ing anxiety had passed away. His chest was broader and his eyes brighter. He simply smiled at Zoe. and did not even applaud her. The shouting below continued. The men made no pre ovations to remove the rope, but Golson started fur the ladder. "She's comin' back," said ooe of the men. Golaoo stopped as If be had been altot through the brain. The hard, anikjuslook returned, and the deathly pallor came back all in an Instant.

' We turn up St. Charles street to Com mon, down common to liaronoe and the college. Crowds were beginning to gather at th's point. We threaded our way through the throng that pressed against the railing around the college yan and eutered a small door at the side.

The professor turned quite pale, and stood and waited. He came down slowly with the rope. It seemed as if it would never stop slipping over the roof like a long ugly snake. It soon became slack, and it was, of course, much harder to balaace'on It ; but he never lost his presence of mind, and stood perfectly calm and straight. When the black had nearly reached the roof It was a two-story house the rope slipped off, I heard the block drop to the ground.
