Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save rct only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains IL Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
starches are put up in u pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all Injurious chem
icals. II your grocer tries to sell you
12oz. package it is because he has
q stock on hand which he wishes TO
dispose Of before lie puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has

CHAPTER ".

1'eulon, on the Mediterranean, was
at this time the great military depot
OF France. Its inhabitants numbered
about twenty-five thousand; and more
than fifty frigates and ships of the
line rode at anchor in its harbor, while
within its spacious magazines was col
iected an immense quantity of military
and naval stores.
Scarcely a day passed during the
fall and carly winter of 1898 that did
not bring 10 the city families and in
diSiduals from all parts of France,
seeking protection from the Revolu-
uonists' curelties-outrages which the
Committee were either unable to con-
troll, or to which they were Indifferent.
Al ToulCn, the friends of the old
monarchy argued among themselves
that the violence with which their
land had been filed was too terrible
to be longer endured; and they began
to discuss the idea OF surrendering
the city, its magazines, forts and
Ships, to the combined English and
Spanish fleets lying outside it's har-
hGr, and thus help to bring about a
return of law and reason to insane
France.
Among those in Toulon who heard
OF the proposed surrender was Margot,
who, with Jean and Pierre, safe under
the humble roof of their new home,
had for these many months enjoyed a
security she had never before known.
In a measure her own mistress, and
removed from the dread of Etienne,
she found reliance and peace in the
kindly guidance of Pelie Huot, to
whom the boys went each day for in
struction. his abode being some dis
tance from Margot's small house,
which was in retired part of the
city, near the suburbs.
A surrender suggested to her the
possibility Of bringing scenes of blood
shed and violence; and the very
name of English" was to her-as also
to most of her compatriots-the syn

onym of what was utterly detestable.
Her fears were realized when the
surrender was accomplished, and the
English ships sailed triumphantly
into port, landing five thousand of
their own troops and eight thousand
.Spaniards.
This proceeding was regarded with
the greatest alarm and Indignation by
the Rerolutionists, who, considering
the surrender an act of treachery, re-
solved to retake Toulon, and drive the
allies from the soil of France. Two
armies were marched upon Toulon;
and siege was begun which for three
months made but little apparent prog
ress.
Affairs within the city became un.
settled, and were soon almost demor-
allied; and Perc Huot having fallen

all restraint. wandered day after day
about the streets, associating with
soldiers and rough characters.
Margot had not dared to communi-
cate much of her misgivings from the
day, now several weeks past, when,
after demonstrating warmly as to
some offense he had committed, she
bade him ask himself II his father
would have approved the act, and
started back, as from mans threat

fiercely upon her.

into four classes. the Samurai. which in
cIudcd the nobility and the military the
agricultural class, the commercial class,
and the Industrial class. OF these ONLY
the first was called upon 10 perform
military duty. But with the recOnsUruc-

was attached 20 all four classes. and
