At first, Balkins says, he was mighty

did not have to move his rocking
chair, but the next moment he began
to weep, for he saw that he would

the shadow was curling up little
at one edge, and that gave him an
idea. So he got the OK team and
hitched it onto the loose edge of the
shadow and drove the ox-team in the
direction of the house. At first the
shadow seemed to be following all
right, but when he got about half way
to the house he saw he was mistaken;
the shadow was not following, it was
fastened tight to the earth at the other
end, and it was just stretching out
long and thin, like a sheet of rubber.
But he goaded the oxen on, and drove
up to the house, and nailed the end
of the shadow to the side of the house.

shape. 1t was stretched out half a

general, Mark Anthony, to throw away
the world for love, so was Benedict
Arnold, a brave and gifted hero of the
revolution, turned by love of woman
into traitor. That Miss Shipper
realized the enormity Of the crime to-
ward which Arnold was being drawn
Is not proven. Nevertheless, till he
met her few men deserved better
OF their country than did he. Soon
after he. fell under the girls influ,
ence he began to plot the treason that
has made his name accursed.
People are apt to remember Bene-
dict Arnold only as the traitor who
tried to sell his country. His crime
has blackened the memory of his ear
lier and heroic deeds. II he, in an evil
moment, yielded to temptation to
harm the cause of freedom, let it also
be recalled that he had previously
done more than almost any man ex-
cept Washington to win his country's
freedom, and that no other patriot
had suffered such gross injustice and
persecution at the hands of congress.
This article is not designed to white
wash" Arnold nor to excuse black
treachery, for which there is no ex-
cuse. But it may explain how a hero
happened suddenly to turn villain.
Arnold, from the moment the revo-
luton began, was in the thick of the
u fight. While he

no home ties, he gave himself wholly
to the cause of liberty Fearless in
battle, brilliant in strategy, he rose
fast In the army. He and George
Washington were dear friends. This
friendship strangely enough, was one
of Arnold's worst misfortunes, for
Washington's secret enemies in con-
gress and in other high places vented
their dislike for the Father of His
Country by sighting and injuring the

destroyed it at the battle of Sara

row, but Balkins said he thought he
could make it do, for it was wide
enough to set a rocking chair in.
But that night terrible thing hap
pened. The widow heard a 11oise in
the chicken coop and got up to see
what was the matter, and just as she
stepped on the shadow the far end of
it came loose and it snapped like a
rubber band. Balkins said it SNAPPED
up against the house with noise like
cannon. Naturally a shadow that
has been stretched half a mile and
then suddenly loosened at the far end
would do that. 1t completely killed
the widow; killed her thoroughly, it
struck her 81 hard, and broke the
rocking chair, and Balkins says that
when he went out and saw that rock

the heart to remain, and he come

He told Uncle Aahdod that the only
thing he had left OF those happy days
was small piece IF the shadow he
cut of as a memento. It looked to
Uncle Ashdod like small piece of

it up in the sun in ths right position
Uncle Ashdod saw that it had its
shadow with it all right. It did for
a fact!

BETZVUlE TALES
Balkins Schlvartz and the Shadow
@By Fits DARKER B1Hef1
~ Author Of Pigs is Pigs Etc, W.
BY PETER NEWELL

Last Tuesday aboutzfive o'clock Bal
kins Schwartz, who was at one time
one of Betzville's most respected leis-
ure-classists, walked up to Uncle Ash
dod Clootz's back door and asked for
five dollars. He said that if he
couldn't have that he would willingly
accept square meal, . pair of shoes,
a toothpick, or any old hunk of chew
ing gum that might be sticking on the
underside of a chair or table. He
finally compromised on chew of fine
cut tobacco. From the story told to
Uncle Ashdod we Judge that Balkins
has been having hard time of it
since he left BetZville and went west.
Uncle Ashdod happened to remark
that Balkans was so thin he hardly
cast shadow, and Balkins Immediate
ly burst into tears. He said he
couldn't bear to hear a shadow men-
toned after what had happened to
him in Colorado.
Balkins said that as soon as he
struck Colorado he knew he was in
Gods country, and he decided he
would settle down there if he could
find anyone that would feed and lodge
him free gratis, and give him clothes
for nothing, and the first week he
was there he found the right widow,
, and they were married in June. and
Balkins settled right down to work
at his job, which was pulling a rock
ing chair into the shadow of the house
and dropping off comfortably to sleep
between meals. He said he liked the
job first rate, except that the sun out
there keeps moving all the time, and

The Bridge Of Years.

When I was six and she was four, the
nudge!
We used to play about the old red bridge,
And often dig in sand for half the day;
Twas then we made it Spades" as one
might say.
We quarreled f1ercely once, as I recall;
She said a word-'twas not polite at all:
She said it thrice to make her meaning
clear,
We came to blows, we made it clubs -

Long afterwards we played at bridget
lost.
Lost all, yet played on, reckless of the
cost;
Then asked her, with the courage of
despair:
"a diamond may I make it-solitaire?"
She said a word: she said it very low
And only once; it didn't sound like No.

For we have always made it hearts"

der. Arnold lived in luxury, was
looked up to by all and was a well
come guest at the best houses. He
became friendly with several Tory
families, people who disapproved of
the revolution and were loyal to Eng
land. One Of these Tories was Ed
ward Shipper, whose beautiful daugh.
ter Margaret Cor Peggy" as she was
Familiarity known), was the belle of
Philadelphia. Arnold promptly fell in
love with Peggy. His handsome face,
magnetic manner and fame as a hero
quickly won the girls heart. They be-
came engaged. Miss Shipper was a
stanch Tory. So were her family and
her friends. Influences were brought
to bear upon Arnold to shake his 10y
atty to the cause of freedom. The
woman he loved did not approve of
the revolution. The men at whose
homes he was an honored guest hated
1t and had glib arguments to oppose
Arnold's faith He was told how Gen.
, Monk sold the
"e'v Commonwealth of
'p>a>'o"' England to Charles
H., and was thereafter re-
! garded as hero; how the
duke of Marlborough betrayed Eng
land to William of Orange and was
made peer of the realm. Other cases
Of the sort we're cited to show Arnold
that betrayal Of his country was not
treason, but for the country's ultimate
good, since the revolution at that time
seemed doomed to failure. He and
Peggy were soon afterward married
and the wife's influence over her ador-
ing husband was almost unbounded.
She was heart and soul with the
! Tories.
Even then it is doubtful if Arnold
would have yielded had not his enc
mics trumped up absurd charges of
official misconduct against him. These
charges were disproved, but congress
continued its prosecutions and or
dered Washington to give Arnold a
public reprimand. That was the last
straw. Arnold's patriotism, already
undermined by Peggy and her friends,
was swept away in gust Of fury at
this browning injustice. He entered
into reasonable correspondence with
the British. The rest is known: How
he obtained command of West Point
and tried to sell that stronghold to
England; how through the capture of
MAJ Andre, the go-between, the plot
was discovered.
Arnold fed to the British, fought
against his country and later went to
England to live. Peggy Loyalty joined
him in his exile and disgrace, and did
all in her power to comfort the out
cast In his last years. If she had
really instigated his treason. she also
J shared its bitter fruit.

LOUIS XVI AND MARIE: ANTOINETTE

A 16-year-old French boy and A.
year-old Austrian girl were married in
It'll. For years thereafter they were
not in the least in love. It was only
when danger threatened that they be-
came lovers.
The girl was Marie Antoinette, one
of the 16 children of Marie Theresa,
empress of Austria. The boy was
Louis, the dauphin (crown prince) of
France. In 1774, at the death of his
grandfather, he became King Louis
XVI.
Louis was a short, fat, awkward,
goggle-eyed youth, with the manners
of plowman and the brain of kim
dergarten child. He would have made
a fairly good blacksmith. He made
wretched king. In court whose
exquisite grace and courtesy was
world famous, this prince, who
had the grace of an ice wagon and the
of THE Lubberly Lout," and was
openly laughed at by every one Marie
Antoinette had little more sense than
her boy-husband. But she was pretty,
frivolous and vivacious. Incidentally
49, she was heartless,
and was a de-
lighted meddler
IN politics (Which she did not in the
least understand). She joined in the
ridicule against her lubberly husband
He did not resent this. In fact, he
was not, at first, sufficiently interested
in his pretty wife to resent anything
He neglected her-not through malice,
but stupidity-and left her to amuse
herself in the gay court, undisturbed
by his companionship. He did not so
much as kiss her until after they had
been married two or three years.
Marie Antoinette, thrown upon her
own resources for entertainment,
launched out in a career of gaiety
which. while innocent enough, made
her decidedly unpopular. She was an
Austrian-and France hated Austria.
She was fond of romping-and the
stiff French court frowned on such
breach of etiquette. She dressed so
eaudily that her mother on receiving
her picture sent it back with the re-
buke: This is not princess. 1t is
some actress"
Such were the two empty-headed
children who, in 1774, were called
upon to rule France, at a time when
that nations fortunes required gov
eminent by the wisest of brains and
the noblest of hearts. For centuries
France had been misruled. Yearly the
plain people were more and more
cruelty taxed to provide money for
the king and the mobiles to throw away
in wild extravaganza. The poor were
treated like dogs. Yet, such was their
loyalty to the throne that the populace
at large had endured all this injustice,
and were prepared to endure much
more, sooner than to cast down that
expensive, useless figurehead known
as Royalty" But Louis XVI had
positive genius for making blunders
His wife was perhaps the only person
In history who could make worse ones.
Together they formed a combination
of criminal folly that within II years
robbed France of its last: traces of
loyalty to the throne. It is a mistake
to think the French people were ripe

That the Shadow Was
the shadow of the house would shift
around somewhat, and then Balkins
had to get up and move his chair into
the shadow again. And nothing he
could say would make the widow tote
his meals out to him-he just had to
brace up and walk into the house for
them at meal time, or go without. But
he was pretty reasonably happy. He
said he would sit there in the shade
and slumber, and when he wearied of
that he would sit there and doze, and
between times he would get little
change by sitting there and sleeping.
Balkins said he couldn't imagine but
one thing that might spoil his hap
piness, which was that the house
might take fire and burn down, and
then there would be no shadow of it
for him to sleep in, and he said he
had awful Nightmares right there in
the daytime, dreaming he was trying
to save the shadow of the house, and
the shadow slowly disappearing as
the house burned, and then he would
awaken and find that the sun had
moved around and was shining on
him, and he would have to get up and
60 to all the exertion of moving his
rocking chair into the shadow again.
Along about August 9Th, when the
sun was at it's hottest, Balkins was
sitting there in the shadow of the
house when one of those awful Colo
RADIO winds came up. Biff! it came,
with the suddenness OF an explosion,
and struck the house full force, and
the first thing Balkins knew the house
was sailing away through the air. He
said that for a minute he could hardly
realize it. It was medium high
wind-about ten feet highland down
where he was there was not ripple
of air-not enough to rock his chair
but it caught the house and whooped
and his first thought was that he must
get up and tote his chair all that dis
lance to get in the shadow again, but
the next moment he realized that he
settle down about half mile away,
it away. He says he saw the house
was still in the shadow of the house
Yes, sir, he says it was fact, he was
still in the shadow of the house! He
said he did not try to account for it
at first, but in a minute he figured
that the shadow must have been very
loosely attached to the house, and
that when the wind struck the house
it was blowing so high that it. did net
touch the shadow at all, but Just
wrsnched the house loose from the

Why His Mother Mourned.

William NJ. Fogarty has story
about a good old Irish woman whose
son was about to start for a trip
around the world
She had watched him prosper with
pride. To her he was a great man.
In her fond vision she could see all
sorts of terrible tidings coming to him
but she held her peace until he had
started for the journey. Then she be-
gan to cry. A neighbor tried to con-
sole her, but to no avail.
I'm afraid he hasn't the money tc
get back" said the mother, weeping.
Hes got the money to go round the
world all right, but how will he ever
get back?"-Indianapo Star.

Marie Antoinette came to the throne,
They were not. Never had French
kings accession been more gladly
hailed. Every one believed Louis
would bring about an era of good
times. He was almost worshiped by
the nation at large. Perhaps no other
couple on record could so thoroughly
have turned this devotion to hatred
in so short time
Louis and Marie Antoinette grew to
be sincerely attached to each other
There Is no doubt the stupid king
learned to worship his vain, foolish
wife, and to rely on her advice, as
had Charles I. of England on that OF
Henrietta Maria. And with the same
result. When the people grumbled
the queen laughed to scorn her hus.
bands vague idea of granting them
Justice. When famine and horrible
poverty stalked abroad, it was she
who persuaded Louis to dismiss such
statesmen as were trying to reduce
p...:,. enter upon new
and greater
courses of extravaganza Through his
love for Marie Antoinette, more than
by any other cause, Louis worked out
his own destruction. For, in 17S9 the
people rose against tyranny and de-
stroyed the Bastile prison, which was
that tyranny's chief symbol. Even
then, by listening to wise counsel.
Louis could have saved his crown and
his head. Instead he let himself be
guided by the queen and her friends.
AS a result the French revolution set
in. Louis was dethroned, then impris.
oned, then beheaded. Marie An.
toinette, whom the people looked upon
as the author of their wrongs, was
also cast into prison and made to sui.
fer such indignities that her hair
turned white. On October 16. 1893.
Marie Anto1nette was beheaded.
This queen has been localized as a
martyr and denounced as vile. As q
matter Of fact, she was merely a. silly,
heartless, vain woman who paid heav.
lily for the sufrerings she had caused.
