hundreds of years. Since the time of
the Emperor Charlemagne, in France,
one hears, whenever death comes to
visit one of this family candles to the
number of his years, one candle for
each year, were set upon the altar of
the old chapel at the chateau in Nor
mandy. No matter how or where one
of the family died, perhaps at home,
perhaps far away in battle, there were
the candles upon the altar. 1t is a
curious custom. father. And the old
tales say it led to a tragedy once.
But because of that do you think that
the De Valettes abandoned it? Not
they! The De Valettes do not aban-

water are placed for the benefit Of the
birds, and some of the marble tombs
