scattering and that there was no vol

the cOmbatants came closer together

ing the insurgents, who scattered and
disappeared. At least II insurgents
were killed and many more were
wounded.
One of the prisoners captured says
that probably 40 insurrectionistS were

those bloody days Of France, which
are to live forever with their CORY

In late April of 1892, Monsieur lie
Baron was still domiciled at his Paris
house, and early April usually found
him in his Languedoc chateau.
For two years past, Etienne-the
simpering coxcomb of twenty.seven-

to claim him, after his dozen years
absence from their circles.
Al the suppers and card parties
which made unusual gayety In his ia

admitted with the freedom of an &C.

and somewhat precocious, owing TO
the intimate companionship of Mon
sieur lie Baron, he absorbed the talk
going on around him, and assimilated
1t with an intelligence to which his
elders gave no thought.
Unusually tall for his years, he had
slender, sinewy body, and limbs
whose muscles had been thoroughly
developed under the careful tutelage
of old Tatro, the baron's butler, who,
until middle life had been soldier.
IL was he who had taught Jean to
ride and shoot; and he had initiated
the lad-young as the latter was

the little village of Bernstorff, i've
miles out of Copenhagen.
In 1868, the poor captain Of infantry,
with scarcely an hours warming,
found himself transported from hum
BILE dwelling to a palace. his cavalry
sword changed into scepter, and his
officers cap for crown.
Early in November OF that year old
King Frederick VII OF Denmark died
and without heirs-the last OF his
house. II developed upon the Danish
parliament to elect a new king. To
the surprise of tie Danish people par
liaments choice rell on Christian, duke
Of Glicksborg Christian himself was
equally surprised.
The kings tactics were to remain
perfectly quiet, to make no manifesto.
no attempt to win popularity for the
moment, but to remain shut up in his
palace and let the storm blow over.
This line OF conduct met with sue
cess, and after brawling about the
streets Of Copenhagen for few days,
the mob settled down by degrees, and
began to wonder whether, after all, It
might not be perhaps advisable to see
what the new king might be worth be-
fore condemning him.
The earlier part OF Christians reign
was filled with troubles. Simultane-
ously with hiD accession rival claim
ants arose for the duchies OF Schles-
wig-Holstein, which had been part OF
the possessions of King Frederick VII
Of Denmark. The extinction Of his
| dynasty, It was asserted, and the sub
stitution OF new one had entirely
altered the rights Of succession In
these provinces After diplomatic
wrangles. which closed in an appeal
to arms, Prussia. Austria, and Ger.
many all took hand In the fight, and
the first Of these countries succeeding
In taking from little Denmark the
three duchies of Holstein, Schleswig,
and Lauenberg and attaching them to
her own dominions.
After this loss of one.third OF the
kingdom internal troubles arose In
that portion Of his dominions which
still remained to King Christian. King
and parliament could never agree, a
characteristic that both retained al
most to the day of the kings death.
But in spite of the chickering's with
his parliament, Christian became to be
universally loved by the Danish peo-
pie. His democracy, his simple tastes.
his personal character, and his family
all combined to make him happy.
There was not a black sheep In his
family. Never a scandal shocked the
Danish people. The kings sons and
daughters led simple lives until they
were married-and when they married
generally II was to ascend a throne.
King Christian was familiar figure
In the streets of Copenhagen. He
went everywhere without guard OF
any of the fuss and trappings Of royal
ty. Dressed as an ordinary citizen OF
the middle class he visited the mar
kets, wandered through the parks
stopped on the sidewalk to chat with
acquaintance, or watched the cree
ton of new buildings. Frequently he
would be seen at table Of one Of ths
outdoor cafes, drinking a glass OF beer
and eating a black bread sandwich
He rode on a street car oftener thar
he did in a royal carriage.
