JEAN YALJEAN WAK BETWEEN FOUR WALLS. I. .WHAT CAN BE DONE IN THE ABYSS BUT TO TALK, 'Tbe'insurgents, under the eye of Enjolras, for Marius lio longer looked to anything, turned the night to advantage. The barricade was not only repaired, but made larger. They raised it two feet. Jron bars planted in the paviifg stones .resemhled lances in rest. All sorts of rub bish 'added, and brought from all sideS, increased the exterior intricacy. The redoubt was skilfully made over into a wall within and a thicket without. They re-built the stairway of paving-stones, which permitted ascent, as upon a citadel wall. They put the barricade in prder, cleared up the basement room, took the kitchen for a hospital, completed the dressing of the Wounds ;• gathered up the powder scattered over the floor and the tables, cast bullets, made cartridges, scraped lint, distributed the, arms'of the fallen, cleaned the interior of the redoubt, »picked up the fragments, carried away the corpses. * They deposited the dead in a heap in the little Rue Mond^tour, of which they were still masters. The pavement was red for, a long time at that spot. Among the dead were four National Guards of the ban- lieue. Enjolras had their uniforms laid aside. Enjolras advised two hours of sleep. Advice from Enjolras •ms an order. Still, three or four only profited by it. Eeuilly employed these two hours in engraving this inscription on the wall which fronted the wine-shop: "VlVENT liES PEUPLES!" 10 £BS lRfeAirr.«a, lliese tliree vwds, graren in tlie stone •milh a naO, woe sdS lisibSe on that wall in 1»48- * Tlie three women took adTauatage of tbe mghtfs resfnie to jBaagpsar feollj, whidi made the insurants breathe more fieely.

The sky had that charming undecided hue, which is perhaps white, and perhaps .blue. Som^ birds were flying with joyful notes. The tall house which formed the rear of the b.^r1cade, being towards the East, had a rosy reflection upon its roof. At the window on the third story^ the morning bseeze played with the grey hairs on the dead man's head, "I am delighted that the torch is extinguished," said Courfeyrac, to Feuilly. " That torch, startled in the wind, annoyed me. It appeared to be afraid. The light of a torch resembles the wisdom of a coward; it is not clear, Jjecause it trembles.-' The dawn awakens minds as well as birds; all were chatting. Enjolras had gone to make a reconnoissancoa He went oat by the little Rue Mondetour, creeping along by the houses.
