and varied traditions and energies. The
dynasties' spirit has turned the idea of ma
tional unity into a sort of monolith, a
mastodonesque engine, a body without a
soul. the very negation of the essentially
individualistic Italian temperament.
From the political standpoint, the way
in which Italian unity came about also had
the disadvantage of placing king and pope
face to face in Rome. The Roman pontin

i,
scious of fierce white light and heat
about him on every side, he was aware
of Il moist, cool, dark bandage over his
eyes that prevented him from seeing.
Striving to raise hand to sweep the
binding cloth away, he met rebellion.
A sudden spasm of pain that made
him vince, the quick contraction of his
features, the low moan of distress, were
answered instantly by most surpris-
ing wall in sweet girlish voice.
''Oh, Fanny, see how he suffers
Can't something be done?"
And then-could ho DO mistaken? p
soft, slender fingers were caressing the
close cropped hair about his temples.
A glow of delight and rejoicing thrilled
through his frame as he realized that
the main object of the fierce and deter
mined pursuit was accomplished, that
the precious freight was rescued from
the robber band, and that somehow he
himself was now a prisoner.
Striving to move his head, he found
it softly, warmly pillowed, but as no
attempted to turn it was held in place
by two little hands, one ON each side.
Then as he found his voice and family
protested that he was all right and
wanted to look about him. another hand
quickly removed the bandage, and
Fanny Harvey's lovely face, pale and
framed with much disheveled hair,
was bending anxiously over him, but
smile of hope, even of JOY, was parting
the soft lips as she saw the light of re-
turning reason in his eyes. At this
same instant, too, the hands that sup
ported his face We're suddenly drawn
away, and his pillow became unstable.
One quick glance told him the situa-
ton. The seats of the Concord had
been lifted out, blankets had been
spread within; he was lying at full
length. his aching head supported in
Ruth Harvey's lap. Fanny, her elder
sister, was seated facing him, but Mt
his side. No wonder Jim Drummond
could not quite believe his senses.
1t was Fanny who first recovered her
self poise. Throwing back the hanging
curtain at the side she called aloud:
Mr.. Wing, come to us! He's con-
scious."
And the next instant the slow motion
OF tho wagon ceased, the door was
wrenched open, and there in the glow

murder of President Carnot, and an
official message containing the same
formal intelligence was sent to Senator

The government will propose to the

this afternoon resulted in showing that
Santo was born at Motta Visc0nti, north
east of Pavia, in December, 1873. The
prisoner is baker by trade, and was
tried in Milan, in 1891. for breach of the
peace, but he was acquitted. owing to
lack sufficient evidence against him.
Santo was known as a dangerO US an.
archist, and delivered anarchist lee
lures Of the widest character before
going to Switzerland last year.
The police are keeping strict watch
over anarchists in all the cities of
France, and it is expected that several
important arrests will be made during
the day.
There no longer seems to be much
doubt that the presidents assassination
was the result of an anarchistic COLI
spiracy to avenge the death of Valiant
and Emil Henri, the two recently exc
cuted anarchists.
Twenty detectives have gone to
Cette. department of Herfault, where
Santo was recently domlciled, In order
to track down his supposed accomplice.
Crowds of people during the morning
and this afternoon have surrounded the
EIysee palace, where all the foreign
ambassadors and minister senators and
deputies called during the day.
The majority Of the deputies, after
calling at the Eiysee, assembled at the

Civil and Military Honors Shown
the Dead.
LYONS. June 25.-The archbishop of
Lyons again visited the prefecture this
afternoon and offered consolation to
Nine. Carnot and her children.
The body of NJ. Carnot was taken
from the prefecture this evening and
placed on the train that will convex it
to Paris. After prayers for the dead
had been offered the casket containing
the remains was carried out and placed
on gun carriage. While this was being
done salutes of artillery we're fired.
trumpets were sounded and drums were
beaten. Every civil and military honor
was shown the dead. The square in
front of the prefecture was densely
thronged, as we're all the streets leading
to the railway station. Troops and
gendarmes kept the route clear. The
procession that followed the body was
a very lengthy one. 1t included all the
civic and military authorities of Lyons.
and large number OF delegates fro m
different cities and towns.
AS the sad cortege passed slo wly
along the streets were remarkably
silent. Almost the only sounds that
could be heard were the trampling of
the horses and the rumbling of the gun
carriage. Every man along the line of
march removed his hat as the body
passed by him. and there were silent
prayers offered for the repose of NJ.
Carnot's soul.
No sooner had the cortege gone by.
however. before great change ap-
peared in the crowd. The people who
had heretofore stood reverent and mute
bsfore the nations martyr now gave
vent to their pent-up excitement and
rage. Everywhere could be heard
cries of 'Long live Garnet and
death to his murderer" The sud
den transition in the feelings
of the crowd BODIED i'll for the
resident Italians. and when some of the
more hot-headed men in the crowd pro-
posed that an attack be made. upon the
Italian quarter, the proposition was re-
ceived with wild cries of approval.
In almost less time thau 1t
takes to tell it, an enormous
mob, at the head of which
was carried a French flag, was en- route
to that part of the city given over to
the Italians. Before the police could
intervene to prevent trouble the mob
attacked all the shops belonging to the
foreigners and sacked them. The pro-
prietors and their families were forced
to flee for their lives.
In the meantime another large band
marched through other streets, and by
threats compelled every Italian who
kept cafe to CLOSE his place of i,usi i
ness. The crowds in the Rue de la Re-
publique became threatening and re-
fused TO obey orders given them to dis
perse. 1t was finally found necessary
to command the cuirassiers to charge
the crowd.
