Do you remember my saying that af-

VII again became an indolent king?
Another maid was to come forward

time when he was Dauphin, he accom-

Manor Of Mesnil when his pony went
lame. They applied to the Manor sta

palfry was offered him. 1t was the
Lady Agnes own pet creature. 1t was
not accustomed t. all the noise and
confusion which accompanied the hunt
ing party. and it SO bit and struggled
with the groom that the prince feared
to mount it. Whereupon the Lady Ag-
mes. then a slender young girl, came to
the side of her pet, gave him sugar and
fair words and rode him before the
prince, then dismounting in front of
l1irn she said:
Surely you are not afraid to ride my
palfry now:''
Nay he responded ill-humoredly,
I am not afraid to do anything that a
maid can do" Then glancing at her
and seeing that she had not said those
words to make him appear ridiculous
before his retinue. he said, 81 mean,
pretty damsel, that I can do anything

GARDINER.
NEW PAPER MACHINE
Invented and Patented by Former Gar
diner Man, Henry J. Meader.

The many Gardiner friends of Henry
j. Meader, formerly of this city but
now of Bradford, Mass, will be inter-
ested to learn that through his attor-
ney. County Attorney Guy A. Hildreth
of Gardiner, he has secured patent on
a paper machine. It will be remembered
that Mr.. Meader. was formerly in the
employ of the Hollingsworth & Whit
ney Co. in this city. leaving to accept
a more lucrative and responsible po-
sition with the HaverhilI Box Board Co.
of Bradford. Mass.
The patent which has recently been
secured is No. 923s70, and was secured
through the efforts of Guy A. Hildreth,
VINO now has the patent in charge and
will look after Mr.. headers interests
in this particular patent
This paper machine on which a pa
tent mas been granted, is an improved
fourdirne and cylinder paper machine.
Instead of wire screen attached to a
large cylinder this machine has an end
less wire screen passing around the
large cylinder and over couch roll
and the stock forms upon this wire web
by means of vacuum in the cylinder
things about the machine is the endless
wire web on which the paper is form
ed running over the cylinder and couch
roll and back
This endless wire web does away with
the couch roll on the cylinder machine
and its material advantages are more
faster running. more absolute control
and the ability to make light or heavy
paper. Extra heavy paper can be made
on this machine.
This machine allows the paper to get
away from the cylinder without bit
of contact or bruising and very rapidly
and can be treated before it reaches
the first press. The treatment is dandy
rolls and suction boxes. The machine
also does away with felts on the wet
ends.

VII. She watched the career of Joan
Of Arc with pride. Then there came
days of great anxiety for her, as tn,
pucelle went through those long weary
months Of trial. The Manor Mesnil
was near the Abbey of Jumieges. and
the Lady Agnes awaited tidings
anxiously from the Abbot Nicholas.
You will save her. she said to him
as he rode away for the last time to the
trial, you will save her as she has
saved France!" Where is Charles now?
He who boosted here that he could
do anything maid could do, why
does he not come to the rescue of our
noble maid?
with your pardon, sweet mistress"
corrected the Abbot, 1.-THE Dauphin
said rather he could do anything il you
could show him the way"
May then, he has better council
lors than I, and if he will not hearken
to them, if he.is so inert as to forget
what Is due to the champion of
France. he would not head my poor
advice. 1t is for you, my Lord Abbot
to save our heroine" $
So the Abbot rode away, but we
know he was cast into prison for en-
deavoring to speak q word in Joan's
behalf. Frantic at the outcome Of
that worse than mock trial. he sped
back in depair to his Abby. to be met
by the Lady Agnes anxiously awaiting
tidings. Indignantly she listened to the
account until at last she broke forth,
fered this? and the King himself, for
whom Joan gained so many visitors,
lifted no hand for her rescue! Then
since manhood exists no longer, France
must be saved by it's women"
So she left the Abbot, nor did he
see her again for many years. Some
said she had gone to friends in the
Touraine. However shortly after this
the king awoke, took his place again
at the head Of the armies, won battles
and came to his own. It was whisper
ed that another maid was the cause If
all this After his kingdom was as
sured King Charles paid a tardy trib-
ute to the Maid of Orleans. Later when
he visited the Abbey of Jumieges the
Abbot recognized in the Queen of the
left hand, the one time Lady Agnes Of
the Manor Mesnil. Indeed the Lady
Agnes was the same Agnes Sorel, she
who had aroused the king to become
man once more, who lead him on to
victories. who made him give to Joan
of Arc her proper place in the memory
of her countrymen
