The adage that distance lends enchant-
ment to the view is unusually true of
Americans. II is almost a national habit
with us to think that. IL we are to have
any delightful summer outings. we must

country Is full of them; we have more
beautiful scenery and Iuxurlant summer
resting places than any other country.
Most Americans really need an introduce
ton to their own country. The Yosemite.
the Yellowstone, the Great Lakes and
Niagara have no equals in the world.
Take also, for instance. the Thousand
Islands in the st. Lawrence. That Is a
veritable fairyland; cool, ~restful, with a
dreamland enchanting beauty, It furnishes
to the fun all the requirements of a sum-
mer outing, and 1t Is only one nights ride
from New York City. One can 90 to bed
at the Grand Central depot and breakfast
on a st. Lawrence steamer. Moreover.
there is something peculiar about the
habits of the Thousand Island people.
The f~ree-handed, friendly hospitality of
the hosts in the Thousand Islands is in
charming contrast with that at the Pen
American Exposition.
An added charm of this bit of fairyland
is the electrical display from the island
mansions. many of which are wired put

II was a long proceeding. There were
bans before the Queen. and these might
have been longer had it not been for the
Impotence Of those behind.
When the tattered procession began to
then the hard-faced old woman, as gruff
voiced as a man. whom everybody recog-
nized as a woman worthy to be obeyed
and yet whom nobody knew and SO was
called the Nameless Woman, halted be-
fore her Majesty.
1.-THE women of Paris" she said. in graf
ing manner, will never forget this night"
NO" answered the Queen, this night
will never be forgotten"
They were gone.
The procession of women that marched
out of Paris with wrath and vengeance
as their guide had gone back into the
night from whence they came. They came
with enmty. They went away with their
natures softened. In rough marching or
der they had tramped through the rain
and slush. Now, by devious ways, in twos
and threes and small groups, they jour
neyed back to the great. black. misery
stricken city, where the chief fare OF their
husbands and fathers seemed to be hope
that the revolution now In brew would
bring arnelioration of their lot.
Marie Antoinette was tired. When the
last of her strange visitors had gone she
rose and sighed The sight OF Juliette
however, attracted her. There was some-
thing fascinating about the very appear
anee of this warm blooded Southern girl
and Marie Antoinette was fascinated with
the rest.
Girl" she observed, lone of my women
will shortly bring you to me-
The courtiers bowed as the Queen
moved on to her apartments. The two
girls wondering what they should do
stood for the better part of a minute look
ing about them indeeisively. They met
the glance of General Latour and followed
him.
It was to a warm and comfortable room
that they went, furnished plainly. On a
little table stood refreshments.
The manner of General Latour was that
of extreme agitation. He was endeavor-
ing, but not successfully, to keep down
strong feelings. His eye shuttled from
girl to girl, always hating on the younger
de was more corteous to them than he
was to many titled lady about Court.
There was pause. Then, mastering
himself and gripping a corner of the table
so that he might keep his hand steady, he
suddenly asked Louise Chabrey, do you
remember your mother?'
1t was an unusual question. The girl
raised her eyes and replied. frankly: only
slightly, sir. She died very poor when
was six years old. She was very good and
beautiful sir" added Louise, tearfully.
by Heavens she vast said the old
man, sinking on to a chair and burying
his face in his hands.
The girls knew not what to make of it.

| Again the old General reeled as
though smitten with sudden palsy. His
lips twitched. His eyes half-closed as
though he were trying to shut out
vision. But he had been trained in the
stern school of discipline, and once
more steadied himself.
Have no fear" he said. What can
be done, will be done. Leland he
turned to address attendants by his
side-'1et these two ladies be cared
for"
The title he had applied to Juliette
and Louise fell ungratefully on the
ears of the thronging courtiers, and a
sheer passed round. But General La
tour was not there to notice 1t. He
had stepped beyond the wide porch into
the darkness where the soldiers were
busy preparing to meet the insurgents.
On came the women in serrled ranks
with babel of shoutings: Away
with the Austrian, Down with Marie
Antoinette."
Meanwhile messengers had carried
the tidings to the royal apartments
The king-who was amiably chat
ting with the most favored members
of the inner Court circle, discussing the
programme of the chase for tomorrow
and had almost forgotten the scenes of

at the interruption to the gossip than
perturbed at the prospect of danger.
The Queen had retired to her own
room on the plea of headache. She,
poor woman, had indeed found the
crown of France to rest heavily upon
her brow. She was a foreigner the
courtiers played scandal with her
name. France, as a whole, knowing
nothing of her, had come to regard her
cold dignity-the one sad solace of her
dreary eyes-with hatred.
So she sat alone tonight, one of the
most miserable women in all France.

CHAPTER VII.

The singular effect that the appari-
ton of Louise Chabrey had upon the
noble old soldier, General Batour-r7-
calling, it was clear, some deep, and
memory--gave rise TO considerable
speculation among the courtiers now
clustering round the steps of the gran
corridors of the Palace of Versailles
and gazing upon these two ragged and
unkept girls who had made so sudden
an entry among them.
But the speculation gave way to mat
ter of deeper moment, namely, the COM
ing of the Infatuated women bent on
Vengeance against the Queen, Marie
Antoinette.
General Latour steadied himself, and
addressing Juliette, said: Are you an
emissary of these peopie?"
81 am one of the people" proudly an
swered the girl, "and come here as no
emissary, but to prevent crime follow
ing crime. see your muskets all
around; but you, sir. will never let
them be fired on a crowd of women
who have been brought to the pass of
desperation by tie piled-up woes OF
centuries. There are many, | doubt
not. standing round here. who look
upon us poor working-women of Paris
as carbon" and her eyes travelled
across a score Of powdered and BEN
iizened courtiers. But | plead to
you. as you value the life of your SOW
ereign, have no roughness used towards
these distracted demented women. Not
the Queens life alone, but all your
lives would have to answer for it. We
are but a defenceless crowd, with no
other weapon at present but our gaunt
Indebtedness. Yet all France-the
strong manhood of Francis behind
us, and against that, when ang red you
are but as cracked twigs. Appease
them, give them fair words, and the
danger may pass for this night at any
rate
She stopped short after this hot ha-
rangue to the courtiers who stood
round amazedly over each others
shoulders Her strong, womanly heart,
anxious to save the life of a woman
though a queen, who had dire troubles
of her own, had been the first motive
that fastened her to the palace. But
now she was here and saw about her
wealth and magnificence, sleek con-
tentment on many face, often con-
tumely for the sufferings of her class.
she was stung into hatred for all that
the gorgeousness meant.
NOnce more she looked upon the grave
