At last he became feeble, and when feeble suddenly took it into his head to absent himself for a good part of the day. On inquiry, Jean learned that he crossed the river taking with him a hammer and chisel; and he was informed that the old man had been seen scrambling up the slope to the ruins of l'Eglise Guillem. One day, accordingly, Jean went after him, and on reaching the cave-habitation found his father seated on the floor engaged in chipping with his tools. "What are you doing, father?" asked Jean. The old man did not answer with words, but pointed to the floor. He had been trimming into shapeliness the crosses that marked the lives taken at the storming of l'Eglise. "But there are eleven, father," said Jean, pointing to one larger than the rest, fresh cut. The old man nodded. "For Le Gros Guillem," he said. "I killed him." THE END.
