i
During the French, revolution. In the
midst of the reign of terror, when
crowds of condemned nobles were be
ing hurried to the guillotine, a number
of tumbrils (two wheeled carts) drew
up In front of the Conclergerle prison
for victims. They were fllled. all but
one, for which it seemed there were no
persons intended for the ax. and the
driver was about to move away, think
ing that he was not needed, when a
young man was led out and placed In
his cart
"Driver," said the condemned man,
"If you will permit me to escape and
I succeed lti getting oot of France !
will give you 100,000 francs. 1 am the
j Marquis de Foutalgny. Our family
long ago deposited a fortune In Eng
land." ^
"What good would 100,000 francs do
me without my head?" was the reply
"They would guillotine me la your
place."
"Leave France with me. Think of
the fortune you will gain. Have you a
sweetheart? Fancy the little home you
can make with her."
The man began to lag farther behind
the other tumbrils, which In the start |
had got away before hlin. Presently
he drew rein and, getting down from
his seat, pretended to fix the harness.
When the other carts had passed al
most out of sight he got up again and
' drove on till, coming to a narrow side
' street, he turned Into It. at the same
time reaching back with one hand and
cutting the rope that bound the prison
er's hands.
"Get up on the seat beside me."
The marquis In his anxiety to escape
death was about to Jump out of the
cart, but the driver stopped him. When
tliey were side by side he told the mar
quis to take off his coat and throw it
down into the cart, and, taking off his
own waistcoat—he wore no coat—he
gave it to the marquis to put on. Then,
taking a clay pipe from his pocket, he
put it In the marquis" mouth. All this
was done, scarcely a person noticing it.
in a few moments. Then the two
drove on as If they were of the same
rank In life and but on an ordinary
purpose. Fontalgny took care to play
his part well.
"Monsieur," said the driver, "1 want
no pay for what 1 am dying. I am
tired of driving people to their death
and will go away with you if we can
elude those who are expected to catch
us. Our success will depend upon the
luck we have In not being soon missed
But let us take no chances as to that"
With the last words he drove the
cart into an entrance to a court behind
a grocer's shop. Then both he and
the marquis got down and, seeing an
open door, entered it and, passing
through a passageway, came to the
rear of another shop opening on an
other street.
They had scarcely turned the cart
into the court when a mounted soldier
galloped past the entrance and hurried
on down the street.
Before reaching the barrier they pro
cured some more coarse clothing for
the marquis by trading with an over
grown youth for bis worn breeches,
shoes and hut for they knew that at
the gateway through which they were
to pass they would be liable to inspec
tion.
Several citizen soldiers were loung- j
ing about. The teamster as they ap
proached talked volubly to the mar
quis. as though he was not think
ing of anything except the subject that
Interested him. When he came to the
gate, pretending not to see the guard,
he was ordered to halt He looked up
as though awakened from a dream.
"Well." he said, "what will you?"
"Who are you. and where are you
going?"
"I am a teamster and am going be
yond the barrier to contract for some
fodder for my horses."
"And you?" to the marquis.
"1 assist him in his stables."
"You don't look like a stableman."
After some further questions the two
were permitted to pass.
The nearest border for theni was
Belgium. Once out of Paris, they turn
ed northward and began a Journey
over the route that many an emigre of
the revolution had traveled before
them, only, Instead of keeping to a
main road, they deviated from one as
much as possible. The marquis' com
panion. who gave his name as Antoine
Boyer. proved by far the better strat
egist of the two. and it was due to his
well laid plans and cool head that they
succeeded In escaping suspicion.
Since the narquls was in company
with one of common origin and in a
commoner's clothing, it was not dlffl
cult for them to get on without excit
ing attention. The main feature of
their escape was In the beginning,
there being ho clew to what had be
come of them. In due time they reach
ed tne border, and it was not long be
fore the young marquis was embraced
by his widowed mother, who, having'
learned of his arrest, had given him up
for lost
Fontalgny gave the man to whom he
owed his life the promised reward.
Antoine had a sweetheart and consent
ed that the money should be settled on
her for a dowry. Funds were sent to
her. and she Joined her lover in Brus
sells, where there was a wedding
graced by the presence of the marquis'
mother and others of his family. An
toine- decided to make Brussels his
home, and Fontalxny Insisted on pro
riding capital v 1th which he set up a
shop suited to h s station and abilities.
