twenty-three years old Lucille
Desmoulins died on the scaffold, her
only offense having been that she
loved her husband above everything
else. This girl was born in Paris in
1771, and was educated with con
siderable care. Whil still very young
a strong attachment grew between
her and a talented young man named
Camille Desmoulins. In 1790 they
were married. Camille achieved con
siderable prominence through his ar
dent speeches advocating the behead
ing of Louis XVI. When the tide of
popular feeling turned Camille was
imprisoned.
Lucille exerted ever:,- possible ef
fort to have her husband freed, and
wandered around his prisoner, trying
to arouse the people to rescue him.
Despite her efforts, however, Camille
was guillotined and Lucille wa
brought to trial and condemned to a
like faith for having conspired to
"escue her husband. Dressing herself
vlth care she went to her doom, per-
X "ctly serene In the knowledge that
she was trivlne her life.
