When the Society of the Cincinnati

vehement opposition to the principles
of founding here an hereditary order
There is less danger to-day of an aris-

there is to-day in some quarters an
unmistakable development of snob-

on the circumstance of birth. A line
of worthy ancestors is an excellent
thing-lf any ancient virtues have

honored name is an enviable posses

himself worthily. Membership in an
hereditary patriotic order is possibly
an advantage-so long as it inspires

BIRTHPLACE OF THE GUELPHs
King Edward Visited in Italy the era
die Of His Race,


In visiting Italy recently King Ed
ward of Great Britain visited the
birthplace of mis- ancestral house OF
Guelph. Gibbon, the historian, says:
The venerable tree which has since
overshadowed Germany and Britain
was planted in Itanan soil. AS far as
our sight can reach we discern the
first founders of the race in the mar
quises of Este, of Liguria and per-
haps of Tuscany" Brunswick was
only a small part Of their original
family estates extending across Eu-
rope, which the Guelphs forfeited in
their historic war on behalf of the
church against the Ghibellines or sup
porters of the empire. The pope very
likely recalled the services of King
Edwards ancestors in receiving him.
Finally defeated in their strife for the
church, the Guelphs lost all their do
mains with the exception of the coun-
ty of Brunswick, from which in course
of centuries they rose again to the
position of a worldruling dynasty,
when George |. became king of Eng

| dinal. The twelve troopers with him
| followed as ore man, his attitude
and even Mazarin's carefully tutored
| CCmposure could not long endure this
| silent battery of determined hearts
and fixed eyes. He gave the neces-
sary order. for the release Of Lord
Cluny Neville,-"if such a prisoner
was really in the Bastile, and send,
| ing a body of his own musketeers
with it, directed Israel to accompany
them.
The Governor of the Bastile had so
forgotten Cluny, that his name called
up no recollection. He did not know
| whether he was in the prison or not.
He did not know. whether he was
alive or dead The very books of the
prison had forgotten Cluny. Their
keeper grew cross, and positive of
! Neville's non-entering, as volume
after volume refused to give up his
name. But Israel and his men, stand,
! ing there so determined and so silent,
forced him to go back and back, UNI
til he came to that. fateful day when,
before the dawning, the young man
had been driven within those terrible
gates.
ION whose order?" asked Israel,
speaking with sharp authority
I'm ha Of hic
dinal Mazarin," was the answer.
II thought so;" then turning to the
head gaoler he added, you have the
order for release. We are in haste"
Time is not counted here. We
know not haste" was the answer.
Then" said Israel, haming into
passion, you must learn how to
hasten. I give you ten minutes to
produce Lord Neville. After that
time, | shall return to his eminence
and report your refusal to obey him"
The gaoler had never before been
accosted in such language. AS word
by word was translated to his intel
ligence, he manifested an unspeakable
terror. He left the chamber at once,
and within the time named there were
sounds heard which made all hearts
stand still,-the slow movement of
feet hardly able to walk dismal
clangor of iron, and anon the mourn
full sound of a human voice. But
nothing could have prepared Cluny's
comrades for the sight of their old
companion. His tall form was attenu.
ated to the last point; his eyes, un.
accustomed to much light, would not
at once respond, they looked as IL
they had lost vision; his hair
struggled unkempt over his shoulders,
and the awful pallor Of the prison
on his face and neck and hands was
more shastly than the pallor of death
His clothing had decayed; 1t hung In
shreds about his limbs; but there was
glimmer of his old self in the pitiful
effort he made, as soon as conscious
Of human presence, to lift up his head
and carry himself without fear.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1903-07-23

"Cluny! Cluny. Cluny!" cried
Israel; and then Cluny distinguished
the buff and steel uniforms, and knew
who it was that called him. A long,
sharp cry of agony. wonder, joy. an
swered the call, and he fell senseless
into Israels arms.
They brought him wine. they lifted
him to the open window, they laid
bare the skeleton form of his chest,
they called him by name in voices so
full of love and pity that his soul
perforce answered their entreaties.
Then the Governor offered him some
clothing, but Israel put it passionately
away. They were worse than Baby
lonish garments in his sight; he
would not touch them. He asked
only for public litter, and when it
was procured, they laid Cluny in it,
and his comrades bore him through
the streets of Paris to their lodging
on the outskirts of the city.
When they left the gates of the
prison there was large gathering
OF men, and it increased as they pro.
ceeded,-a pitiful crowd whose very
silence was the highest eloquence.
For they understood. Cluny lay prone
and oblivious to their vision. They
had seen him come from the Bastile.
He was dead. or dying, and these
angry, weeping soldiers were his
comrades. They began to mutter. to
exclaim, to voice their sympathy more
and more intelligibly. Women, pray
ing and weeping audibly, joined the
procession, and Israel foresaw the
possibility of trouble. He felt that in
some way order must be restored,
and inspired by the wisdom within,
he raised his hands and in a loud,
ringing voice, began the favorite
hymn of his troopers; and to the
words they had been used to sing
in moments of triumphal help or de-
liverance they carried Cluny, with
the solemn order of religious serv-
ice, safely into their camp.
