might see what an archduchess
looked like in bed-was stopped in the
corridor leading to her apartments by
his aide-de-camp, who drawing his
sabre, threatened to run through the
body anyone excepting the archduke
who endeavored to pass him.
The crowd. sobered by the serious
ness Of the situation, hesitated and
then withdrew. But the archduke was
so beside himself with rage at being
baked in his project that he struck
the young officer a blow in the face.
The matter was brought to the imme-
diate notice OF the commander of the
garrison. who communicated by tele-
graph with the emperor. Francis
Joseph ordered that the young officer
be prevented from doing himself any
harm, at all costs, fastened to the
scene from Vienna and, having as
sembled all the principal officers sum-
moned both his nephew, Archduke
Otto, and the young aidede-camp to
his presence.
Apostrophizing the latter in his
kindliest manner, he exclaimed: II
have to express my gratitude to you,
sir, for having undertaken the de-
tense of my dear niece at a moment
when she was In urgent need of your
protection. In so doing you received
blow for which you yourself cannot
obtain satisfaction and which you
could not return. But l can redress

Frederick Wellesley. brother OF the

such as this while acting as charge
d'affaires of Great Britain at Vienna
some IL or Is years ago. Col. Welles-

Victoria, became involved In the Aus
trian capital In quarrel about wom-
an with an Austrian nobleman, Count
X, who resented to such an extent
his behavior, as well as his remarks,
that he struck him with his, glove

fight. Wellesley refused, however. to
accept the challenge on the ground
that by so doing he would render him.

articles of war prescribe the penalty

Wellesley was at once relieved of
his Office Of charge d'affaires at the
suggestion of the Viennese court,
which did not relish the idea Of being
compelled to accord diplomatic hon
ors to a man who had thus shown the
white feather, and shortly after his
return to London one of his fellow
officers OF the Guards, Capt. John Del
acour, who had witnessed the affair
at Vienna, brought the matter before
the notice of the other members Of
the corps. In due course 1t reached
the ears of the old duke of Cambridge,
cousin of Queen Victoria and general
issimo of the British army. He sent
for Col. Wellesley and asked him IL

THE STORY.

The STORY.
Z SRAEL did not realize how com
pletely they we're under the influ-
ence of the people of Moab until
the king of that neighboring kingdom
demanded an offering from them. Up
to this time they had mingled freely
with them without apparently compro-
missing the integrity of their own ma
ton for the strength and prestige
which Othniel had brought to the
natio. continued for several years
after his death.
But as the people began to yield
to the evil enticements Of the Moab
ties, and share in their idolatrous
feasts, they were gradually weaned
away from the worship Of their own
God. And this was not all, for they
married the daughters Of the Moab
ties and in turn gave them their
daughters to wife.
Thus It was when King Eglon
placed Israel under tribute that they
had not the strength or courage to
resist True 1t is that some of the
more courageous who had not al
together forgotten their God and
turned from him withstood the humil-
lating demands and refused to make
payment, put when the king sent his
army through the country and had
crushed all opposition he increased
the amount Of the tribute money and
made the burdens Of the people griev-
Gus. And to prevent any armed re-
sistance he removed all implements Of
metal out OF which weapons Of war
might be made, leaving the people
only such simple tools as they need
Cd for the cultivation of the soil.
Now there was a mighty man, a
Bonjamite named Ihud who was
among those who offered bold resist

tnf had driver him into the noun

has no alternative bat either to kill
himself or else to disappear and seek
his fortune in some remote foreign
country, where, disguised as to APP
pearance, silent as to his origin, and
under an assumed name, he passes
his time in fear and trembling lest he
should be recognized and be once
more driven forth like the wandering
Jew of old from his temporary refuge.
Construed Insults.
There are all sorts of minor pro-
visions of the unwritten law which 1t
would take too much time and space
to enumerate here, but among which
may be mentioned the rule which con.
strues 1t as an insult when a man In
filling his neighbours glass slants the
bottle backward instead of forward.
More than one sanguinary duel has
been fought to the personal knowl-
edge of the writer in Austria for a
breach of etiquette of this kind. In
the same way in the orient, II in
showing the blade of sword to an
acquaintance one happens to turn the
edge thereof toward him he will con-
slider his honor impugned, and IL by
any chance he is a Japanese OF rank
he is capable of going Off and commit
ting suicide by ripping himself open,
leaving document stating that hav-
ing been insulted honor demanded
that he should commit hara-kiri, and
calling upon his nearest relatives to
avenge him.
In Relation to the. Thaw Case.
With regard to the application OF
the unwritten law to the case Of
siderations to be noted In endeavoring
to bring 1t to bear upon the tragedy
of Madison Square roof garden. II
young Mrs. Thaw had been without
any stormy antecedents, and had been
subjected by Stanford White to indig-
mites and insulting proposals since
her marriage. her husband would have
been justified, according to the terms
Of the unwritten law, as understood
abroad. In shooting him, though of
course 1t would have been more chiv-
alrous to have given him a chance of
defending himself instead OF taking
him at a disadvantage and unarmed.
But. unfortunately, young Mrs.
Thaw is not without q past; that she
was educated at the cost of White.
and had known him first as a school
girl, then as a model, and finally as q
chorus girl, for several years prior to
her marriage. cannot be denied. Her
relations with White before becoming
Mrs. Thaw, and also her career In
New York and Paris prior to her mar
riage were Of nature to debar her
husband from shooting White unless
he had actually caught him In, the
very act OF insulting her. That at
least IL the status Of the Thxw-white
drama from the point OF view OF I'M
written law.--New York World

trial for murder Of Harry X. Thaw.
To Judge from popular comment.
one would imagine that its jurisdic-
tion was restricted exclusively to one
or at the most two particular classes
of homicide. But 1t covers far
larger ground and affects almost
every phase of our life.
Among the several stories current
concerning the mysterious tragedy Of
Meyerling, which robbed the veneer
able emperor of Austria of his only
son, the most generally accepted
version is that he was slain by the
unoles of Baroness Marie Vetsera or
else that he was subjected by them
to such bodily injuries that he blew
his brains out, the men having learned
of the princes intention to cut adrift
from the girl, in compliance with his
pledge to his parents, instead of
marrying her after securing a d.
vorce from Crown Princess Stephanie.

Judgment and mercy.
However unconscious man
may be Of the divine Interven-
ton In the affairs Of men, this
fact Scripture emphasizes over
and over again that God maketh
the wrath Of man to praise him.
Psalm 76:1o.
Here In this story Of the pun
ishment Of Israel at the hands Of
EgIon, and the deliverance
through Ehud we have an In
sight into the divine purpose for
man and the divine method Of
operation to bring his will to
pass.
The one purpose Of God In
tho world is to bring man into
harmony with his will and his
character.
And every force In the world,
consciously or unconsciousIy, 10
working to bring this to pass.
The good forces are the POSI-
tive elements, and the evil
forces are the negative, but even
tho latter are overruIed and con-
troiied to the ultimate triumph
Of Gods will.
This only can be appreciated
and understood as one gets
Gods viewpoint and sees az he
sees.
In this story before US we be-
hold two forces at work, those
Of good and evil, and yet both
operating to the accomplish
ment Of Gods will.
!, Israel sins grievousiy. God
must punish. How? Since the
beginning Of time God has op.
Grated through the natural
forces Of the world, and so In
tho story before us, God
strengthens a nelghboring king
against Israel and makes him
the instrument Of his judgment.
And why does he punish2
Many an earthly parent pun
ishes his child because Of anger,
chagrin, disappointment, with
little thought Of making the pun
ishment means Of gracious dis
eipIine.
But not so God. His punish.
ment always fits the crime, and
10 administered with the one
loving purpose of weaving his
child from the evil to the good.
And the power and oppres-
sion Of evil forces Is only the
result of sin vitiating and weak
ening the forces of righteous
ness. Righteousness would
sweep the. earth II all Of Gods
children were putting away sin
and standing together for right
eousness and truth.
But though we do sin and sin
brings Its punishment; though
we do yield ourselves to the
evil influences about US, and
that evil turns at last and
rends us, there Is mercy with
the Lord. He hears the cry Of
the repentant heart and sends
} deliverance.
Ehud broke the power Of Eg-
) lon and restored israel to tho
pure worship and service Of
} God, but Jesus hath wrought
more nightly for US for he hath
broken the power Of Satan and
restores one eternaIIy to the feI-
lowship of God.
