j A Wife's Revenge |
I [Original.!
During the latter part of the eight
eenth century two young me , . ?
Desmoulins and Alphonse Cateret J?tb
living in Dijon, France, were bosom
friends. Cateret proposed wurrl g
a voung girl. Louise riancon, but his
iult .was rejected. Louise secrety
loved his friend Desmoulins, and .n the
course of time Desmoulins married h .
He was so devoted to Catere ?' ?
toe thought it best not to tell him that
Alphonse had once sought ^
and since Alphonse never told him
was in Ignorance of the fact.
Ten vcars passed. Cateret bad Bono
ti Paris to live soon after bis friend
marriage, the Desumuiluses Mlow ng
later Both men became leaders in tnt
revolution rtld, ?
France like a cyclone. One evening
Desmoulins came across the . i .
the bridge directly opposite the torp*
wisiatif and walked toward the 1 law
tlo? as It was then called. At tli
8auie time Cateret turned Into the
S from the opposite direction. The
two men met at that pontjheetho
guillotine was set up and wl are ?
done a great work that very day. Mpht
ed except for the friends. They stop
ped directly unde< the Instrument of
that if either of us has an enemy that
enemy can send the man he bates to
the guillotine." ?tf t
?I don't like it," replied Jean. IM
were single like you. I would not mind
the danger so much, but I consider my
fECa"eret stood for awhile lost in
thought, then said: "I have an Idea
?sul>nose we make an agreement. If
vouTe the victim. I will pay your
?wife 50.000 trancs; If I am tlie victim,
vou pay mv mother the same amount.
After some discussion Desmoulins
consented, and the friends went to
Caterefs house, where the e?ntr?^
was drawn up In duplicate, dul\ e
luted, and each party to It tookacopy.
Ten days after this agreement Des
moulins was arrested under r.n accu*
tion of having corresponded with toe
rovallsts across the bonier. He
received a letter from a fugitive but
no one knew of it except his friend
Cateret to whom he had shown it.
But there was nothing in this for the
Fetter, bearing a foreign mark, mu.t
have been opened in the P^tofflce.
Louise Desmoulins was frantic at
danger that threatened ber husband.
As soon as she became quieted i she set
her wits to work to discover who the
secret enemy could be. At a conte -
ence she had with her husband in Jail
he told ber that Cateret knew of the
letter he had received from abro.id.
Louise, remembering that Cateret had
once sought her hand In
seized with a suspicion which she final
ly confessed to her husband.
"Nonsense!" said Jean. ,ipnth
be nothing in that, since at my death
Alphonse must pay you 50.000 francs
And he told her of their agreement.
She was but half convinced.
Jean Desmoulins died on the scaffold
beside which the agreement had been
made. His wife shut herself up. After
a few weeks she received oue visitor
her husband's old friend. Alphonse
Tateret Him she saw constantly and
S a few months after her husband*
execution promised him that she would
be his wife. Meanwhile sbe fre.^n ed
tht courts and places wherein sbe
might learn the name of her hu?ba"^
accuser. After awhile she became
known as the widow who was hunting
for one to send to the R"illotlue- O"c
day she received a visit from one of
the leaders of the revolution, who said
to her:
"I know who informed on your bus
band. He Is in my way, and I wish to
get rid of him. I will tell you who he
is on condition that you trump up an
accusation against him, leaving me out
of the matter. You will not believe me
without proof. That proof I will fur
nish."
"It Is proof alone that I wish. 1
know the man."
"How do you know him?"
"By the Instinct of a woman."
j "He Is"?
"Alphonse Cateret"
I "You are right."
The visitor the next day met the
widow in a building where records
i were kept and, being in authority, took
j her to a room where no other man in
1 France except the keeper could go. He
I took down a volume which contained a
record of more villainy than any vol
ume in the world and, consulting an
! index, turned to the name of Jean Des
moulins. There was the charge and
j the name of the accuter, Alphonse Ca
I teret Louise looked at it apparently
1 without emotion; her guide closed the
book, and they withdrew.
: The friends of Louise Desmoulins
1 were shocked a few months after her ]
husband's death to learn that she was j
I to marry Alphonse Cateret and the I
\ wedding day was set. Cateret, who did I
not know what moment the tide might
turn against him, was secretly prepar
ing to leave France with his bride. A
week before the wedding was to come
off the revolutionary committee got
hold of his intended flight, he was ar
rested, and on the very day he was to
have been married he died on the guil
lotine In the Place de la Revolution.
la the book In which his case was
recorded appeared the name of Louis*
Desmoulins, Informer.
