pie Of the chateau.
On a certain September morning,
after one Of these reports from Tatro,
the baron said. Find Margot. and
send her TO me-"
When the faithful old servant had
left the room his master looked out
of the window toward the park; but
his darkly circled eyes saw something

They saw the pale, angry face of
Tomas Fauchel, the young schoolmas-
ter. who, meeting the baron as he
came from the magistrates door with
the pretty sixteen-year-old daughter
of the Huguenot minister clinging to
his arm, had said, as he barred their
way. To-day, Monsieur lie Baron, you
have won, and have taken for wife
her whom her dead father gave to me
when he refused you, a Papist But
warn you to beware of the day when
shall seek my revenge!"
The baron, in the strength of his
vigorous manhood, and in the happy
dreams Of his passionate love, had
laughed at the melodramatic threat
of his humble rival. And to-day.
white-haired and lonely, he smiled
disdainfully as he recalled It.
But the smile died softly in a sigh
that was almost a moan, as thought
of the narrow mound he had looked
upon the spring before, banked with
violets and snOwdrops, In the old
churchyard by the Loire, near the
cottage where he had known a brief

A long line Of women, with complex

she smeared on the white lotion.
When she was through with him he
looked like a beauty mask.
"He looks real purity, don't he?"

"Say, are you kiddin' me?" asked the

Growth Of a Free Spirit.

It seems to us that, in spite of the
wide dominion of Russia and Great
Britain, the day of world empires has
gone by. Despotisms are i'll fitted to
bear universal sway because by their
very nature they provoke rebellion,
and rebellion against despotism is the
necessary result of the growth OF lib
erty. Nor are democracies adapted to
this work, for they are the products
of the free spirit, and they can not,
without fatal consequences to them
selves, go into the business of enslav-
ing people. In the old days despot-
isms could do this work, but that was
before there was such a thing as the
people. We are more likely to see
some disintegration rather than fur
Their consolidation. The British en-
piTe exists at the present time only by
the tolerance of the people iuhabiting
its various parts-because they be-
lieve they are better off within 1t.
