blast his life. Tho child was a boy and
his name was Louis ard from this opinion
there was no changing Henri de Maupin.
I 1t is said that tho husbands unreasoning
persistency preyed upon tho health of his
vifet and FASTENED her death.
Sole guardian of his bright and beauti-
fill child and surrounded by menials eager
to obey his orders and encourage his wild
,vhims, the nobleman devoted his life to
the education Of Louis. %s..
''My heir shall be tho most accomplished
cavalier in France, - said the father to the
old cure, who in vain t:iad to advise with
him. ''When I am gene, Louis will be
4 the Vicomto do Maupin, and If the BAN
ner of the flellr do lis needs defender he
shall be the first and greatest. =
!. From the very first the education of this
strangely placed child wns of military
md masculine character. a The old man s
strange deusion, if not actually encour-
aged, certainly was not opposed by those
with whom he came into contact. The
4 llttlo ono was barely able to walk when it
I was fitted out in a military uniform, and
from her first lisping she spoke of herself
and regarded herself as boy /, 5e.s 4 r
Mentally the girl was wonderfully
bright. Unlikemost girls, she cared moth
ing for dolls. Her toys were swords
& trumpets and drums and before she had
entered her teens she vase an expert fencer
and skilled with tho pistol Her father
kept girls away from her, and boys were
only permitted to visit the chateau de
Naupin, when he offered prizes for fenc-
ing, shootingan riding, all of which were
& taken by this strange girl.

leaving her a competency and stating in
his Will that Louis must enter the army
when .he'' became 10.
Now comes the startling phase of this
/. wolnan's character, for she was now a
4 woman. Up to this time she had always
dressed and acted Us u man. Years before
she had discovered her fathers halluoina-
ton, but, pleased with the greater freedom
the assumed sex gave her, she lent herself
Willingly to the fraud. Naturally robust,
though only about feet 4 inches In
height, her outdoor exercise and yirile
mode Of life gave her a strength and grace
4 that were phenomenal. She was not only
4 expert with weapons of war and the most
daring rider in Picardy, but her physical
strength was greater than that of most
4 young men OF five and twenty. 5
Now that her father was dead and she
was her own mistress, or it may be mas
ter, the servants hoped her good sense
would assert Itself and that she would as
sumo her proper attire and position. But
the years Of masculine training and mas
D online freedom had told on her character,
and she was not willing to sacrifice her
+ liberty To social demands or formal propri-
cities. IS
She studied hard for year after her
fathers death, but it was not to fit herself

il When the famous French author Theo-
phile Gautier. about the middle OF the
present century, wrote his well known
work, emile. do Maupin," and called It
ga Historical Story there we're many
able critics who doubted the historical
value of tho narrative and declared in the
face of the authors protestations that he
+ used the word to add to the verisimilitude
OF q very realistic and clever story.
LII Subsequent investigation has developed
the fact that Gautier not only told the
truth as to his remarkable heroine, but
that tho fiction in tho work was insignifi-
cant as compared with the actual facts,
which he SO ably recorded. q
81. Louise dc Maupin, daughter of the vi.
comic Henri do Maupin, was born in Pic
ardy, France, in the spring OF 1890. Her
), mother died when tho child was few
weeks old, and SO her case developed man

days, would place him in charge of legal
guardians. .s$ = s5
Henri, Vicomte do Maupin, had been
q soldier under Louis XIII and was es-
teemed by his sovereign as an able man.
a fall from his horse injured his head and
forced him to retire from the service while

when he married. ..a
When the old soldier discovered he was
to have ON heir, he became wild with de-
light. He would not admit the possibility
that it could DO other than q boy, and
months before the event he named the
child Louis, after ancestor who had won
distinction during tho reign Of the cratic
Louis XII. FL ~. q.
Tho child turned out to DO girl, whom
the mother named Louise, but the father
would not hear to 1t. He swore at the

It is a question whether the great
public parks and forest reservations Of
this country should be under the care Of
the army or whether they should be
protected by a staff Of civilians specially
hired for the purpose. Wisdom seems to
indicate that they should be guarded by
men detailed from the regular army If
the regular army is not large enough to
spare the men, then it might be in
creased by proper legal action. The first
reason in favor Of putting the govern
ment parks and forest reservations in
care of. the army is economy. Nowhere
else can the government get employees
who will do the work for $13 a month
Then, too, there is an authority about
the soldiers Of our little national army
that trespassers will respect more than
they will any other force. There is at
present, however, no law for assigning
the soldiers to this duty. Congress
should pass an act giving such authority
speedily. It is a matter Of more conse-
quence than selecting United States
consul, or even minister plenipoten-
tiary. \ &c "a: 5@

The machete, the deadly weapon with
which the Cubans and Spanish are hack
ing and hewing one another, is simply
a large, broad, heavy knife from 2 to, 8
feet long. II was originally used by the
Spanish Americans to cut their way
through thickets, but it is found to be
equally handy in cleaving skulls. Il
takes the place in some degree Of the
cavalry saber, but the Cubans and Span.
iards use it far more freely than civil
liked cavalrymen use the saber.
