made him draw breath quickly.

Francois said slowly, and the words

Later, in the darkness of his cham

quietly:
"Yes, It is success. Go, mon ami"
In moment the messenger had
thrown himself on the horse of an ar
tilleryman and forced a way through
the recoiling mass, down the lane,
and out to the Faubourg Pierre. In
the free street he galloped the horse,
through the windings that he had
learned with this moment in his mind.
The third was drawn up waiting, and

his news. Buoyant, proud, he took

Suddenly man galloped from a

senger, as the man whom he had seen
closest to the Princes person, he de-
ferred to him, and Francois realized
that he must make, and make quickly,
a momentous decision. The arsenal
was immense and lightly guarded. De
Persigny had been sent with a small
force to take 1t, for the ammunition
II held might at any moment be Of
supreme Importance. 1t seemed that
the detachment which guarded 1t had
been underrated, for II had made pris-

In the glowing light the soldiers who
fronted toward him could see that the
colorless face turned grayer, but that

spoke to his men.

The tumult OF the struggle had
quieted, the volatile forty-sixth regi-

formed in ranks, in appearance as firm
for the king as the everlasting hills,
and, at the end OF the court was a
sad and silent, yet stately group Of
men, the Prince who had almost been
Emperor and those who had watched
slipping with his hope. their hopes Of
grandeur.
Suddenly horses hoofs rang down
the lane from the Faubourg; a rider
clattered at gallop into the yard and
across the front OF the soldiers. and
every one in the agitated company
saw that the man reeling in his sad
die was wounded. With blind gaze he

Louis Bonaparte looked down at the

MOOSE BELLOWS;
TAFT uses VETOES
THE REAL ISSUE THIS FALL is
BETWEEN PRoGREssIVEs AND
DEMOCRATS SINCE PROGRESS
sIVEs HAVE SELECTED THE
BEST OF THE G. o. p.

The main objections made to the bull
moose party seems to be the third
term idea, and the ones who are most
strenuous in making this charge are
the ones who a few years e advo-
Gated Grover CleVelan6's third term.
Surh a difference a few years make.
1t is dangerous to steaI a national
convention and to override ublic
opinion so clearly expressed 70 such
an extent Is was done in Chicago.
And following that came Taft's fatal
mistakes; his fight against the repub-
liCan progressives, lauding the Payne
Aldrich bill, supporting Ballinger n
his veto of the wool bill. 1t is sad.
The personal attacks against Wilson
are laughable and will improve rather
than injure his chances. When alls
said and done, the industrial and 20
cial problem will look for its solution
from either the Wilsonites or the bull
moose party. Beyond that we will not
advance a theory. but you can select
your man for president much easier
than you can your fall suit pattern be-
LII only two candidates in the pres
idential race really count, but in the
pattern selection contest at 407 N. P.
avenue, Ted Evanson has so many up
to-date, progressive and attractive
patterns that one naturally finds diff
ficulty in selecting his fall suit pat
tern.
The best way to do is to come in
and talk it over with Ted, give each
of the candidates a chance, investigate
their lasting quality, whether they can
last a third term or not-then see how
they will look on the grand old party
or young party, whichever you might
be-then out of the eight or ten that
you want but cannot tell which you
want the most, shut your eyes and
grab one in the dark. It's the best
way to select a suit at Ted Evanson
and will probably be a good way TO
select a president this fall. Come in
tomorrow and let Ted take your lee
