AN EPISODE OF TIE
= REIGN OF TERROR

lOriginall
During the French revolution Nine
de -Four ana Mime. Breton, two friends,
found themselves on opposite sides.
Nine. de Fours husband took sides
with the reyoluHonists, while NJ. Bre-
ton was a royalist one day Nine. Bre.
ton came hastily from her chateau and
told her friend that young Victor Bre-
ton was to be arrested.
An arrest during the reign Of terror
meant death The young man must be
concealed, and the two women hurried
" consulted as to how this could be
best accomplished. Mime. De -Four FINAL
" agreed that he should come to her
house, provided he could be taken there
without being seen. But how was this
to be done? It was morning, and as the
arrest was liable to take place that
afternoon he must go in broad day
light. In fact, the revolutionary com
mittee had him already under suryeil-
lance till they could make other impor.
tant arrests and ind time to attend to
his case. Therefore, since the mother
and her friend could not wait for dark
ness, some disguise was essential, and
as the boy was only twenty, had no
beard, but did have a pair Of pink
cheeks, they decided to put him into
girls clothes. Young Breton, having
donned feminine attire, walked down
the road, passing citizens who were
watching to see that he did not leave
the house. Nine. de Four picked
him up in her carriage, and be drove
with her to her chateau. Once there,
he was introduced as Nine. de Fours
niece.
The risk Nine. de Four was running
in concealing a royalist kept her In an
agony Of fear, for If discovered she
would fall under the ban Of the revo-
lutionists. She would have better TAX
en- her husband or at least her daugh-
ter into her confidence. Louise de
-Four was only eighteen. but was far
beyond her years in good sense. Be
sides, women are far better fitted for
aiding and abetting such coneealment
than men. Madame's keeping her Sc
cret from Louise resulted fin its getting
to the revolutionists Louise spoke TO
a friend about her cousin. wondering
why she had never heard Of her be-
fore and why she always kept her
room. This friend told the police.
One evening there was stormy
scene at the De Fours 81 de Four
came home and told his wife that he
was suspected Of harboring young Bre-
ton. Madame confessed to her bus
band. and, the danger threatening the
whole family being Of the greatest mo
ment, Louise was called into the con-
ference. she saw at once that in her
ignorance she had put the hounds on
the scent. But now that she knew all
she proved the most fertile Of any Of
them in expedient She laid plan and
at once put 1t in operation.

views concerning a tariff on food prod.
ucts It was on one hand predicted that
Chamberlain as a political factor had
gone out of existence, while by large
section of the public it was conteaded
that he would make good his threat to
inaugurate vigorous campaign in
support Of his views and that when
the next elections were held it would
be found that Chamberlain had made
the shrewdest play possible toward
furthering his ambition to become
prime minister of England. In, his
first speech in pursuance Of bis de.
clared purpose, delivered at Glasgow.

A young boy afflicted with the stran-

both attracting the attention and puz-
cling medical science arrived I'D To

cial inmate Of the Toledo State hospi
tai.
The boy is Raymond Thayer, son of
Mr. and Mrs. ]. Il. Thayer Of Upper

absorption Of the fumes Of gasoline
fer which Ire has an Unsuitable desire
This strange popularity has been char
acteristic OF the boy since he FIRST be-
gan to creep about, and the habit.seems
to grow stronger upon him with age.
His every thought is for the posses
sion Of gasoline, and his parents have
found that he procures 1t despite their
precautions TO keep it from him, As
many as four gasoline cans, the con-
tents OF which had been consumed by
the boy, are said TO have been found
by the parents about the house.
The strange mania Of the lad is at
tracing wide attention. and medical
science is unable as vet to account for
1t. Through the kindly offices Of i. G.
