In Sympathy With the World.

The first Leo was the founder OF the

and the tenth Leo, by his ecclesiastical
ineptitude. gave opportunity for the
Reformation 10 renG the church
asunder. This latest Leo did not
succeed in re-establishing the mon
archy OF the one or in repairing the neg
lect of the other. But he enhanced the
moral sovereignty of the Papacy TO a
degree unknown for many a reign. and.
infcxible as he was In doctrine. he made
on the whole for the advancement OF
many Of those practical principles for
which the Reformation was begun. In
creed he was immovable, but in political
and social practice he led the church IN
the same path that, as we believe, the
whole world was and is pursuing. and Il
will be by no means the least or the
least worthy OF his distinctions that he
perhaps, above any OF his predecessors,
kept himself in touch with the world

Pontiff of great church. but also one

who, after considerable delay, gave or
ders to his grand chamberlain and to the
archbishop of Paris to have the heart
conveyed with due pomp and ceremony to

some objections to this. for the same
reason that led the Pope to decline to
permit the conservation OF the Chap

the dauphin were connected Herewith
on the ground that the dauphin was at
that time still alive. having escaped
from the temple prison, and that the
body OF boy considerably older than
the royal child had been dissected and
buried in his stead, evidence of this
existing in the archives of the Vatican
According to some, the escaped
dauphin came TO the United States and
died here. after attaining manhood
while according to others he lived and
died in Holland. his grandsons at the
present moment styling themselves
members of the House OF Bourbon. and
being engaged in the wine trade at

In an Archbishop's Palace.

In consequence OF this action on the

fernandez his instructions, and the
heart was left in the possession of DR..
Pelletan until 1928. when the old ply
stefan, being on the point of death, in
duced the archbishop to take charge of
It. II remained in the archbishop's pal
ace. in his oratory, until 1890. when
the palace was sacked by the ipsur-
gents. The crystal vase containing the
heart fell into the hands Of a man
named Lescroairt, who carelessly cast It
aside in the courtyard. retaining. how
ever, in his possession the parchment
documents that were with it.
On reaching home and discovering
their contents. he Immediately COM
municated with young DR.. Pelletan, the
son, who straightway proceeded to the
archepiscopal palace. and after a tedi-
Gus search. finally discovered the heart
and the fragments OF the crystal vase
among a quantity of rubbish in a cor
ner, of the courtyard. Taking these
back to his house. he inclosed the heart
and fragments Of the vase in another
crystal receptacle, and kept them until
his death, when they passed through the
hands of several people TO a NJ. Du-

the Philippine Islands from a Catholic

the Vatican in a spirit OF friendly ac-

An Ungrateful Knight.

The English courts have once more
been occupied with the unsavory affairs
of Sir Robert Reel, who has made i
fruitless attempt to GUST his brother
in-law and benefactor. NJ. Van der Heyd-.
from his position as trustee of the Peel
estates. Sir Robert has been repeated
ly gazetted as a bankrupt, and accord
ing to the present arrangements made
by the court. NJ. van der Heydt is in
charge of the estate, and assigns each
year two-thirds of the surplus income I'd
Sir Roberts creditors, the remaining
third being left for NJ. van der Heydt
to use at his discretion for the infant
son of the baronet, for the latter him
self and for Lady Peel. What l mean by
the surplus income is the income left
over after devoting what is absolutely
indispensable TO the maintenance of
Tamworth house and the estate In
proper repair.
Sir Robert. who owes a deep debt OF
gratitude to his brother-in-law. who has
repeatedly extricated him from Difficult
ties at heavy sacrifices Of time and
money, is full OF bitterness against him.
and does not hesitate TO make all sorts
OF charges tending TO show that Van
der Heydt is unworthy of his trust,
Needless to add that not one of these
accusations has been sustained, and
that Sir Robert has been thrown out Of
court with his prestige still more dam
aged than it was before, since the pro-
ceedings have brought to light the fact
that he has been deprived OF the custody
of his only child. a boy. which is not with
its mother, but with Mr.. and Mrs. Van
der Heydt. who are its guardians-in-law.
Years seem TO exercise no SOLDERING in
fuence upon Sir Robert, and judging
from his latest appearance in court, be-
seems destined to remain on the end OF
his life "A bit of fool"
