then known as New Spain, against the
mother country. This war began in
1921, and lasted seven months, ending
in the success Of the colonies, the
leader of the army, 1turbide, becoming
emperor. This state of affairs was
concluded in about a year by the ab-
dication of the emperor, who sailed for
Europe. in which country he made
his home for some time.
Hearing that his native land was to
be made the object of attack by the
European powers, he returned to Mex
leo only to find that the republic which
had existed during his absence had
made law that his life should be for
feited should he again set foot on
Mexican soil.
This was in 1924. The family Of tho
emperor came to this country, settling
in Washington and Philadelphia.
In Washington fashionable society
Prince 1turbide was prominent for
many years. Suffering recently from
severe illness, he has of late spent
many months in the hospital. Prince
1turbide now asserts that he has re-
nounced all political ambition, and
that he will never make any attempt
to regain his claims in Mexico.

at the department was necessary.
Under the circumstances he had to

his country for few hours. He laugh

Indian Art In Calcutta,

An exhibition of modern and an
cient Oriental paintings has just been
held at the Indian government school
Of art in Calcutta and attracted con.
siderable attention. The pictures were
in both oil and water colors, and the
greater part Of them were loaned for
the purposes Of the exhibit by Indian
residents of Calcutta. The Indian So
ciety of Oriental Art, says Harper's
Weekly, is making a strong effort to
revive the interest in genuine Oriental
art, which in India is rapidly disap-
pearing. A prominent leader in the
movement says that he is hopeful Of
success and believes that art in India
will again become a potential influ-
ence in lifting the masses to a higher
level.
The ancient Indian pictures in oil
were OF unusual interest and attracted
the attention of the lovers of old pic
lures and students Of local color.
There was an interesting exhibit OF
Chinese and Japanese paintings, some
of them quite old, which were owned
by Indian families of wealth and GIL
ture. The exhibition was the first OF
it's kind to be held in Calcutta.

the cyclamen flowers still greet him
with their perfume. He rides across q

rushes. 1t is light enough to see very

CHAPTER XVl.-Continued,

AS he gallops from the little hamlet,
some cyclamen branches greet him, he
urges on his steed.
And what a ride it is, under the
great trees of La Castagniccia, where
chestnuts big as eggs drop upon him,
the giant chestnuts that fed Paolis
patriot army, the bread of Corsica,
each dozen trees being peasant maid

But though the woods are all chest
nuts, Edwin still sees in his road cycla-
men branches, slightly withered now,
their fragrance fading, and hope
grows higher in his heart.
So he rides along the parklike Wales
Of La Castagniccia, and before him is
the green of the great Bavella forest
fading away down the hillsides toward
the distant and still unseen Tuscan
sea.
Here Edwin checks his horse,
springs off and picks up a cylamen
branch, and as he rides along, looking
at the flowers, suddenly calculates:
"Jove, how fresh their perfume and
plucked two days SINCE"
But the lately cut flowers give no
warning to the sailor; he is too eager
now. Pausing at the little village of
Petra, Edwin steps into the inn to ask
some questions and hears news that
makes him frenzied.
The landlord, delighted at his lib
eral hand, tells him to avoid the CON-
munal where the voting is going on.
