Professionalism In France.

According to an article in the Revue
the number of Professionals in France
is decreasing. They now number 7O0.-
900. The Lutherans. who numbered
more than quarter of million in
1870. can now boast OF membership
of only $4,000 in France. The Calvin
lists are the most numerous sect left.
numb ering over half million. But
they are losing ground At the same
time the political influence of the
French Protestants is out of all pro-
portion to their numbers. This the
writer attributes to their superior
system of education. and above all to
their great wealth. Their wealth has,
however. tended to sap their exclusive
ness. They now pay less attention to
their religion. and the result is. says
the writer in the Revue. that Protes-
tantism in France will In the near fu-
ture be a. thing of the past. This is
rather bold conclusion. and It would
be interesting to know II this alleged
decrease in the Huguenots is correct.

rock, stood In the way. Newbold at
last backed Armstrong up against 1t
and by superhuman effort bent him
over 1t, held him with one arm and
using the table as a support. wrenched,
his left hand free. and sunk his fin
gers around the others throat 1t was
all up with Armstrong. 1t was only
a question of time now.
Now" Newbold guttered out
hoarsely, you slandered the dead wo-

Il forgive him." cried Enid Malt
land. "Oh. for Gods sake don't kill
him before my eyes"
Armstrong was past speech. The
inveteracy of his hatred could be seen
even In his fast glazing eyes. the indo-
mitableness of his purpose yet spoke
in the negative shake of his head. He
could die. but he would die In his hate
and in his purpose.
Enid ran to the two. she grappled
Newbold's arm with both her own and
strove with all her might to tear 1t
away from the others throat. Her
lover paid no more attention to her
than If summer breeze had touched
him. Armstrong grew black in the
face, his limbs relaxed. another second

Once more the door was thrown

Armstrong more explicitly, thinking
to use spear with double barb to

startling arrival of Newbold. of whom
perhaps the same might have been
said. If Newbold had only gone on.
If he had not come back. If she had
been rescued by her uncle or old Kirk

that was the third. These eliminated
the man from her affections. but it is
one thing to thrust man out of your
heart and another to thrust him out
