OWNED BY INFAMOUS TRAITOR
Wisconsin Man Has Ink Well That
Once Was the Property Of 5ene-
dict Arnold.

Among the possessions of F. A.
Phillips, living at easy Bluff, Wis.
Is an inkwell, said by the owner to
date back to Revolutionary war times.
The inkwel has been in the family
since the time of the conflict of the
American colonies against Great Brit
ain.
Mr.. Phillips came into possession
OF the relic In 1864, it having been
handed down to him by his father,
and his father got it in turn from
his grandfather, who captured 1t
among other things at n little log
cabin near West Point at about the
time Benedict Arnold was figuring on
selling that strategic point to the
british, but took French leave when
he learned that the Colonial soldiers
were after him.
This ink well, It is stated by Mr..
Phillips, is the one that furnished the
ink for the document Arnold signed
giving the British possession OF West
Point, and was found among other of
Arnold's possessions after his hasty
leave taking of the place where the
dO cuments were signed and sealed.
II Is supposed to have been made in
England and brought to this country,

that the load was off his mind.

CHAPTER X.


Mon Dieu!" said the general.
1t was six years later. At the new
chateau not a blade OF grass seemed
changed. The general stood in the
midst Of close-cropped millions of
blades of grass as he stopped short
on the sloping lawn which led down
to the white stone steps which led to
the sunken garden. Alike, in her rid
ing habit, with a feather in her hat,
and gauntleted gloves on her hands,
was so lovely as to be startling. She
looked at the ground, half shy. half
laughing, and beat the grass with her
riding-whip. Francois was leaning
toward her and talking and the gen.
eral, coming slowly down the lawn.

looked at this successful picture of
boy which he had done so much to
fashion. The two had been riding to-

most men do, at his best In riding

girl and his boy, this happy sister and
brother-with that the brother lifted
his sisters hand and, bending over 1t.
kissed It slowly, in a manner unmis-
takably unbrotherly.
Mon Dieu!" gasped the general,
and turned on his heel and marched
back to his library.
All that afternoon he stayed shut
up in the library. At dinner he was
tacitum.
The next morning the general sent
for Francois to come to him In the
library. A letter had been brought
short time before and was lying open
on the table by his hand.

deep abrupt tones, 81 am in trouble.

"Pietro wants you to come to him as

generals face, inquiring, startled.
childlike. "Pietro!" he said slowly.
81 had not thought of that"
yet you knew that Pietro was
heart and soul in the plots of the
Italian patriots?"
Yes"
But you had not thought of going
to help him fight?"

only of the fight for which / must be

This Italian business will he good
practice" said the general, as a man
of today might speak OF tennis tour
nament. And you and Pietro will be
enchanted to be together again."
Francois smiled, and something in
the smile wrung the generals heart.
Francois, you are not going to be
unhappy about little Alixe?"
Quickly Francois threw back, as II

Tomorrow" The general was
startled now. "A thousand thunders,
but you are a sudden lad! Yet it will
be no harder to give you up tomorrow
than it would be next month. Yes, to-
morrow, then, let it be-"
Francois stood up, slim, young, alert
and steady, yet somehow not as the
boy who had come in to the general
an hour before; more, perhaps, as
man who had been through a battle
and come out very tired, with the
noise of the fighting in his ears.
Il will go to the farm tonight, to
my mother and my father. And this
afternoon | will ride with Alike, II you
do not want me for the book, my
Seigneur-and If she will go. May
ask you not to tell Alike of this-to
leave 1t to me to tell her?'
Yes" agreed the general doubt
fully. But you will be careful not
to-upset her, Francols?"
Il will be careful"
"And-and you will do what you
can to help Pietro, will you not. my

A quick contraction twisted Fran.
co.'s sensitive mouth and was gone,
but this time the general saw. you
may trust me, my Seigneur," the boy
said, and moved to the door; but the
general called to him as his hand
touched the latch.
"Francoie!"
Yes, my Seigneur." He faced about,
steady and grave, and stood holding
the door.
Francois, my son-I have not hurt
you-very much? You do not love
Alixe-deeply? DO you love her, Fran
cois?"
There was a shock of stiffness in the
old dim library. Through the window

An Improving World.

A somewhat old-fashioned Bostonian
who more than a score of years age
was very prominent in public life re-
marked recently: IL have observed
with interest quite a change in the
personal habits Of men during the
past 25 years. IL used to be very
common to see business and profess
sional men, as well as those in public
life and holding official positions,
wearing silk hats and Prince Albert
coats every day in the week, and II
they smoked at all they smoked CT
cars. Nowadays silk hats are rarely
seen on week days downtown, anyway
and cigarette smoking seems to b,
quite the thing, I do not think IN,
new fashion is quite so dignided Of
manly as the old, but on the whole
ar. convinced the world Is glowiu
better all the tuna"

invitations from the Pharisees and
was accused of being a glutton and a
wine bibber, Matt. 11-19; Luke 1885,

plainly ". 54) why he had been asked
to this feast. At later time, e. g.,
during the Passion week, Jesus deliv-

Pharisees Matt. 23) in which he re-

today.
Muse Be Clean.

Az, The orthodox Jew is very pune
tilious to avoid ceremonial uncleanli-
ness. In Christ's time this ceremoni-
alism was at it's highest development.
To be detiled was far worse than to be
morally unclean. This Pharisee mar
veled" that Jesus was not likewise
concerned with his outward acts ".
80, Sc also Matt. 1926, 26). To have
a clean cup and platter was more i'm
portant than to have a clean heart.
In fragment of Gospel found at
OSyrhyncus, Jesus is reputed to have
said to a Pharisee: Thou hast
washed in waters wherein dogs and
swine have been cast, and wiped the
outside skin which also harlots
anoint and beautify, but within they
are full of scorpions and all wicked
ness. But l have been dipped in the
waters of eternal life which come
