DR.. W. b. Palmore, editor Of the
St. Louis Christian Advocate, is pre-
pairing a novel display for the St.
Louis worlds fair, says the Kansas
City Journal. He proposes to repro
duce ancient jerusalem in miniature,
with It's mosques, churches, Hezekiah's
pool, the Garden of Jerusalem, etc.
He thinks $3.50, 900 will be required
for the exhibit, and has already raised
5000, 900 of this sum. II IS DR.. Pal
more's belief that the display he is
preparing viii tend to mitigate the
evil effects of such things as the Md
way. Still, q is inclined to suspect
that If there was a midway 1t would
not lack patronage, even If the New
Jerusalem were entered in competition
with 1t.

Glasgow NJ issourian :-s'Out of a

found just one-;he anthracite coal

Roosevelt strained at the anthracite coal

The T~askmasters.
De TocquevilIe wrote in lss5

De Tocqueville wrote in 1885:
II am Of the opinion. upon the
whole, that the manufacturing arts.
tocracy which is growing up under u
eyes is one Of the harshest that ever ex-
isted in the world. = : The friends
OF the democracy should keep their
eyes anxiously fixed in this direction
for If ever a permanent inequality Of
conditions and a%ristocracy again pene-
trate into the world, it may be predict
ed that this is the gate by which they
will enter"
Even a cursory reading Of "The
TAskmasters," George Kibbe Turner's
novel Of modern industrial New
England, the second IN Mcclure,
Phillips & Co.'S First Novel Series, will
make one realize that the great phil
osopher spoke truly and with a keen
appreciation Of possible developments.
The author has chosen for bis mise Z
Same one Of the smaller New England
manufacturing communities. He strips
the situation bare, and shows how
utterly the people who live in the
shadow VI the factory are in the power
of The capitalist owner-qnite as much
10 his power, personally and politically.
as if time had been turned back half a
dozen centuries and he were feudal
baron and they his serfs. Nth the
personal oppression and the practical
humiliation be depicts, the stale Of af-
fairs appears appalling. The recent coal
strike has opened the pnblic's eyes to
the conditions existing is western Penn
sylvanla. "Tbe Taskmaster" displays
things nc less deplorable going On in
New England.
Mr.. Turner comes fairly by his knowl-
edge of life in the cities that are domi-
mated, both in a political and industrial
sense, by the great manufacturing
interest. His grandfather was a New
England mill owner, and much Of the
authors life was spent 10 the factory
town 10 the affairs Of which his family
was a powerful factor. 1t IS not strange,
perhaps, that some Of Mr.. Turner's
friends should, N view OF the nature Of
his story, accuse him Of sociallstic ten
denotes. He declares, however, that
he has III dogma to set forth In the
novel that bus only design was to pres
ent a phase Of lie as he saw 1t.
"The Taskmasters" is his first novel,
but be has made a reputation both by,
his verse and by his short fiction, some
times signing his proper Dame, and
sometimes using the pen name, Geik
Turner.

beT to have looked around me, and yet
every little detail Of that scene will re-
main stamped on my memory until the
day 1 die,
Madame, the queen mother, was at
her secretary, her fingers toying with
a jeweled paper knife and her white
face and glittering eyes fixed steadily
on me-eyes with that pitiless look in
them which we all knew so well and
which made the most daring of us
tremble. A little to my right stood De
Tavannes, one hand on the back of a
chair and stroking his grizzled beard
with the other. Before me, on a cof
fer, whereon he had negligently thrown
himself, was the king, and he surveyed
me without speaking, with half ap-
proving, half sarcastic look that made
my blood Jingle and almost gave me
back my courage.
In sharp contrast to the solemn black
of GATHERINGS robes and the stern, sol
dierly marshal was the figure of the
king. Henri was dressed in his favor
lite colors, orange, green and tan, with
a short cloak of the same three hues
hanging from his left shoulder. His
pourpoint was open at the throat,
around which was clasped necklet of
pearls, and he wore three ruffs. one
.4such as we women wear, of lace that
fell over the shoulders, and two smaller
ones as stiff as starch could make them.
He wore earrings, there were rings on
his embroidered gloves, and all over his
person, from his sleeves to the aigret

CHAPTER II.
BY ORDER OF THE KING.


" you who read this will please
" remember that | was but a
girl and that my powers of re-
sistance were limited. Some
of you perhaps may have gone through
the same ordeal-not in the rough and
ready way that had to make the pas
sage, but through a slower If not less
certain mill, the result being the same
in both cases-to wit, that you have
stood, as / did, at the altar with vows
on your lips that you felt in your heart
were false.
A thought had struck me when l was
led back to my room, and that was to
throw myself on the mercy of De
Lorgnac, but means of communication
with him were denied to me by the
foresight of my prosecutors. Even my
maid, Mousette, was not allowed to
see me, and Nine. de Martigny, though
kindness itself in every other way, alb
solutely refused to lend herself to my
suggestion that she Should aid me, if
only to the extent of bearing a note
from me to my future husband, in
which I meant to implore him as a
man of honor and gentleman not to
force this marriage upon me. ! then
tried Pare, who, by the queens COM
mand, had been sent to me. He brought
me a cordial with his own hands, and
to him | made my request, notwith-
standing all Nine. de Martigny's pro-
tests, to carry my note to De Lorgnac.
He listened with that acute attention
peculiar to him and answered:
"Mademoiselle, l have not yet dis
covered the balsam that will heal a
severed neck. You must excuse me-"
When he left, Nine. de Martigny
tried to comfort me in her kindly way.
"My DEAR" she said, latter all it is
not SO very terrible. / myself never
saw M. de Martigny more than twice
before we were married, and yet have
learned to love him, and we are very
happy. Believe me, love before mar
rage does not always mean happiness
In five years it will become friend
ship; that is all. 1t is best to start as
did, so that there will be no awaken
ings. AS for De Lorgnac, rest you as
sured that monsieur Is well aware OF
the state of your mind toward him
else he would never have taken the
course he has adopted. Be certain
therefore, that all appeal to him vii
