AS the historical story Of Napoleon's
career from the Isle of Corsica, where
he was born, to the Isle of st. Helena,
where he closed his eyes in death, is
the most thrilling in the annals Of the
world, so is the historical story Of
Evangeline from the little Acadian vii
lage of Grand Pre- in Nova Scotia,
where she was born, to the sunny
La, where she died, the saddest and
tire sweetest. Neither of these stories,
which are so dissimilar in character,
ever lose their interest, but on the
contrary, as the years roll on, constant
ly challenge the admiration of the
world.

locked in fetters Of ice and snow, and

when I reached the Gulf of Mexico

took the boat at New Orleans for the
shrine Of Evangeline at the old town

glinting through tropical foliage and
casting shadows of wonderful beauty
upon the water, the hedge fences Of
wild roses, abloom with pink and

of the bayou and the beautiful resi-

Dressible DELIGHT
The twilight of this region is very
brief and the moon was rising above
the moss-covered trees as we ap-
preached the quaint old town. AS the
orb of night majestically arose in a
faultless sky and gilded the cross Of
the little Catholic church, with
splendor all ids own, was filled with
mute wonder at beauties felt, but nci-
tber questioned nor understood, and
for the moment imagined that was
in another world, it seemed so strange,
so beautiful, so bright.

"Evangeline's tree" upon which was
fastened a shrine of the Plessed Moth

my thoughts went back to the village
of Grand Pre- (Weymuth), Nova Scotia,
which 1 had visited years ago. and it
seemed to me that one was a repro
duction Of the other.
From the Acadians themselves
learned the true story Of Evangc]inc,
about whose life and character Long
fellow has written so beautifully, but
strangely enough from the latter part
of whose career lie has entirely de-
parted, leaving untold the most pathe
tic portion of her unhappy existence
The poets version Of her life was
that when she arrived at the old town
in Louisiana, where Gabriel and his
family had taken refuge, he had
gone to the Far West, and after seek
ing him for years without avail, she
had become a Sister Of Mercy, and
finally found him in old age dying at
a Philadelphia aims house. This Is
not true She was never Sister Of
Mercy. Neither faded nor oil was
she, when her long journey from
Grand Pre- to st. Martinsville ended
in disappointment unspeakably
more bitter than death.
