We Shall See.

The supreme court has sustained the
lower federal court in enjoining the
beef trust from combining against both
the producer and the consumer. The
combination between the great packers
by which they have been able to de-
stroy competition and beat down the
price of beef cattle and other animals
other hand controlling the prices at
which the manufactured product shall
be sold to the consumer, is declared by
the supreme court to be in violation
Of the interstate commerce law. Mr..
Moody expresses satisfaction with the
his contentious have been sustained in
every particular. ...'
So, now we know that the beef COM
bination is Illegal The packers must
not make agreements with each other
which artifeially depreciate prices of
raw material and artifcially advance
the prices of the manufactured prod
uct. It does not appear, however,@ that
any penalty is likely to be imposed for
the years Of transgression Of the law.
The injustices, the wrongs and the out
RACES perpetrated by this greedy com
bination in the past are not to be pun
ished. All we get out of this decision
is the determination by the court that
such acts are Illegal and forbidden by
law. There will be no consequences
/ until the evidence can be obtained of
violation of this law in the future.
just how much this decision is to be
worth to the public remains to be seen
If it is to be Of any advantage, that
{ advantage will be derived only thru
extreme watchfulness on the part Of
the government and the collection OF
evidence upon which the violators OF
the law may be made to pay its penalty
1t ism t enough to say that certain
things have been done which are wrong
what the public wants is protection
against the repetition of them and the
full penalty of the law If repetition il
attempted. The test of the value OF
the. decision will be a good deal like
the test of the pudding.

right side of the Salle. where. between two windows overlooking the fosse. Madame de Montespan, the reigning favorite of the king. held her court. About her crowded statesman and sol. dier, wit and court beauty. knowing well that to gain her influence meant the favor of the king. She was clad in gown whose skirt was of silver tissue. embroidered in gold touched with f1ame-color, with coat of Gros de Tours also richly embroidered in gold. Her hair was dressed in numberless curls tone on each side of the temples falling low on her cheeksD, tied here and there with black ribbons. 10 which the magnificent pearls. once the property of the Marechale de rHopi- tai, were attached. A mantle of gold d'Espagne partly concealed one dim. pied shoulder. leaving the other with out cover. Her arms were bare 10 thu elbow, and encircled above by gold open-work bracelet set with opals while gloves of cream-colored Brussels lace covered her forearms and hands. Right royal did she appear in all the refulgence of her voluptuous beauty: the envy of every feminine mind; the shrine before which each masculine heart bowed.
 The two men. first on the outskirts of the crowd. gradually worked their way toward the center of attraction. listening to the, conversation of those they passed.
 Women are rakes by nature and prudes from necessity" remarked La RochefoucauId in a low tone and with a significant glance at Madame de Montespan.
 True. most women prefer that vc should talk III of their virtue rather than i'll of their wit or their beauty" smilirgly replied Fontanelle. the young nephew of COrneille
 For good reason" rejoined La Rochefoucauld- Are not beauty and youth az LA.essary 10 woman as the air they breathe and the wine they drink, Is It not valueless to a woman 10 be young unless pretty. or to be pretty unless young?"

 You will agree with me, Sir Abbe." laughed La Rochefoucauld, saying that man, woman, and the devil are the three degrees of comparison. Or perhaps you would put woman last?"
 Before the priest could make reply the voice of Madame de Montespan was heard calling to them:
 What are you conspirators talking about that you speak so low we cannot hear you? Let us, too. share your jest, or benefit by your wisdom"
 v have just said," replied La Roche- foucauld '.nblushingly, that there were few women whose charms outlive their beauty. but that your wit, madame. the famous wit of the Morte- mars. would yet charm the world were your unsurpassed beauty to fade and become but equal to that of other women.'

Then. seeing by the frown upon the beauty's face that he had committed an indiscretion. he added. . but there beauty and wit are un- known quantities. and marriage is synonymous with servitude" That condition is not confined 10 New France" replied Madame de Montespan. with bitter emphasis upon the New" What says your friend from Italy. the land of romance and beautv-

CHAPTER VIII.

DEVOTED TO NATURAL HISTORY.
 EXHIBITING THE LIFE OF COURT
 BUTTERFLIES, A GLIMPSE AT THE
 KING BUTTERFLY, AND HOW A
 SPIDER SPINS HIS WEB.
 It was already past one o'clock when La Sale and Tonti approached the Louvre. On the grand staircase they were passed by several personages who hurried on without noticing them. Others followed behind more slowly. A steady stream of humanity flowed up the broad stairs and on into the Grand Salle; gay. laughing faces the most of them, with here and there the grave looks of a priest. Gallants a. plenty in rich attire; soldiers fresh from the field with bold glances for the women, and naughty stare and a hand touching the sword-hilt for the men about them; here and there an of ficer of the kings guards; ladies of the court with hair dressed la hurluburlu. cheeks marked by the rouge-pot anG the patch, and gowns of rarest beauty and extravagant cost. Here too came Racine, the tragic muse of his age: Boileau. the Horace of France: La Fon- taine. the trifier in words; and Madame de Sevigne. whose virtue and literary talent were destined to immortalize her name when those of the many beautiful women of this infamous court who far outshone her in witchery. wit. and wickedness would be preserved only in the nildewed pages of some long-forgotten chronicle o. the day.
 Ii was through such crowd that Ia Salle and Tonti made their way and mingled with the throng that filled the Grand Sal1e. His majesty dined alone in his own apartment at one end. and it was to behold him and bask in the royal presence and per- chance gain the royal ear or the king Iy smile fdepending on the sex of the person.. when he appeared for a time in public before he retired to his cabi ret to take up affairs of state with his minister. that this gay company had assembled La Sale bowed right and left. for his own star was in the ascendant and he had many friends.

The Comte gI1ded out by an- other door.
 Meanwhile Tonti waited for his friend in the Grand s,lle. Not more than 20 people remained, chiefly gath cred about mademoiselln at the farther end of the room. He joined them, and listened as mademoiselse related the incident of Renee and She accident to her chair. During tie recital he worked his way into E position near her elbow. When she had finished he asked in a tow tone sad with forced indifference, "and who might the for tunate cavalier be who came so hap oily to her aid?"
 "She did not speak his name" Then in tones so low that only Tonti could hear, she added, with spiteful gleam in her eye, but she recognized him. It was the great explore-," then turned her head away. Tontj was dazed. There was only one grea- explorer. and how she could have co-lfounded him. self with La Salle hs knew not Smarting with hurt pride and disap- pointment, he looked a;ross to the other side Of the grour and saw the lowering face and hate filled eyes of the Comte de Miron, and in that glance he recognized his antago1ist of the day before.
 "A contemptible dog that" he said, looking steadily at him, "who would subject lady to such indignity and alarm; worthy only to be spat upon"
 The topic of converse tion changed, and Tonti a prey to m xture of emo tions. wishing to be alcne, sauntered slowly away from the circle where he had been. A moment later hand was laid upon his shoulder and voice deep with passion exclaimed:
 You may have an opportunity to spit upon the contemptible cur you mention, sir capitaine, or be appro- priately spitted by my sword;" and at the same instant gauntlet was thrown at his feet.
 Tonti looked up, and' seeing it was the Comte de Miron who spoke, care fully brushed away at the spot On his shoulder where his fingers had rested and replied contemptuously:
 You know the recent edict of the king against duelling; you are safe in your offer."
 The Comte flushed. Drive in coach tomorrow at noon along the Chemin de Clamar; shall meet you coming from the other direction.
