56 THE SIX SISTERS OF THE VALLEYS. God who has put it into my mind. Our home is broken up. I will try and see him again ; I will join him, I will implore his release, or comfort his spirit to the last. With his natural gentleness he always leaned on me ; he would move out of his path rather than tread on a worm ; and now—— oh I dare not think of it." " But beloved, how can you contem- plate such a thing ? It may be the ruin of yourself. Think how you risk your life." " What ! you a woman and a wife, and not understand the motive ? It is through that which has enabled women to triumph in every age, it is through love.

" My Madeleine, your offer is indeed a noble triumph. But as my venture will be attended with danger, you had better leave me to go alone, and not risk your own life." " Xo, no ; I am determined. I shall cleave to you. I am in one sense alone ; my husband is dead ; my children are scat- tered or martyred; I shall see them no more. It is better for me to die. At least I will share your fate. I feel a mo-
