The Injunction case brought by the
Bedding Land q Improvement Co.
against the city to restrain it from
carrying out the contract made with
the Citizens Light Co. is being argued
this week in Ionia before Judge Daboll
OF st. Johns 1t is expected the matter
will be closed up tonight and de-
cision reached. II it is decided the
city had no authority to contract under
the limitations imposed in the lighting
schedule then in all probability the
case will not go to the supreme court
but The council will undoubtedly en-
deavor TO unravel the tangle and ad
vertise for new bids.
No boy, no girl can ever come to be
utterly bad who remembers only love
and tenderness and unselfishness and
sweetness associated with father and
mother and the the old-time home. Do
notcare so much as to whether you are
accommodating money, 30 that you can
believe that chances are against that
blessing for boy. But leave them an
accumulated fortune of good memories
and inspiration and examples and
hopes, so that they are rich in brain
and heart and soul and service. Then,
If you happen to leave the fortune be-
sides, it will be shorn OF its POSSIBLE
tiles OF evil, and will become an instru-
ment for higher and nobler good

to Marscilles. while the rest came from
other parts Of France.
Their arrival caused n deal of JOY; and
then, for the first time, the old hermit
who had hitherto been bowed down with
sorrow and incapable of entertaining
hope. began to regain his courage and plan
another tour of preaching; but this time
on an crrand of mercy, and not of blood.
He organized the returned children into
a band with which he passed through the
whole south of France till they neared
Naucluse. rousing the people everywhere
by the news he brought, and using such
of the returned captiYes as would follow
him, to paint, in true colors. the condition
of the children who had been left behind
In this way he reached a good many
more people; and, by the end Of the second
week after the first arrival of captives,
no less than ten thousand ducats had been
raised in contributions from the faithful,
for the release Of others.
And then it was that. as they approach
ed Naucluse, near which was the castle Of
NRux, that Blanche. who had hitherto
been the bravcst OF all, began to droOp
and exhibit fear of facing her own par
entS with the news of Stephens sad fate
And then the old hermit, who had hith-
erto been the one who had needed conso-
lation, turned CONSIDER in her need, and
announced that he, as the one who had
persuaded Stephen against his will to join
the crusade. was the one who should bear
the penalty OF informing his father and
his mother that their son had been taken
captive and was a slave to the Turks.
And thus on 4 fine summer evening
six weeks after stephen had listened to
the preaching of IIildebrand in the mar
ket place of Naucluse. Blanche and the
hermit drew near the castle as beggars
and pilgrims.

As the hermit and his young companion
approached the castle the girl seemed OPP
pressed with some fear that she could
hardly explain to herself. There was a
solitude and quiet reigning round her
home. to which it had been n stranger, in
the days she remembered so well.
The little village that clustered beneath
The walls of the great donjon seemed to
he deserted by most Of its occupants,
though the hour of sunset generally
brought them all back from the fields.
As they drew near the castle itself, they
were surprised to see that the gate was
wide open, the bridge down; while
the porter, who usually dozed on his bench
by the entrance, was not to be seen.
Then, as they came fully In sight,
Blanche uttered a cry of alarm and grief
combined, as she clutched the arm of her
aged companion and pointed to the tower,
ut the summit of the castle, from which
tloatcl the banner of the old count at half
mast.
Even in those days the signal of death
was we'll understood, and the girl faltercd

of fathers and mothers demanding their
children, and began his penance, as he
had dreaded. with the first step he took
on French soil.
But for the help of his brave little com
panion, who showed the same courage in
supporting her aged friend which she had
once shown in confronting him when he
was laundering out his texts, It is proba-
BILE that the old man would have broken
down and died of grief in MRrselles ere
he had taken a step beyond it.
But Blanche de Naux, with a constancy
that never failed her, took him with her
wherever she went, and so worked on the
people with her sweet face and gentle
wavs that they began 10 give literally for
