The average boy believes firmly In

OF personal property. He would rather

sition, within proper limits. He
should have his own playthings. his

The Came Recins.

The room in the turret was now
swimming, in smoke, and lime dust; /
could scarcely see the gray figure Of
the Countess through the powder-mist
which drifted In through shutters and
loop-hole. dimming the fading day

And now wagon-loads Of French
wounded began to pass, jolting over
crushed helmets. rifles. cuirasses. and
the carcasses of dead horses.
Then the sad cortege OF prisoners
formed in the smoke, the wounded

Until the firing ceased she stood as

Soldiers began to come and go in
the room: some carried off chairs for
officers below, some took the pillows
from the bed, one bore away a desk
on his broad shoulders.
The evening had grown chilly; |
was cold to my knees.
A soldier offered to build me a fire
in the great stone fireplace behind me,
and when I assented he calmly
smashed chair to kindling-wood,
wrenched OF the heavy posts of the
bed, and started firelwhich lit up the
wrecked room with its crimson glare.
The Countess rose and looked
around. The soldier pushed my long
chair to the blaze, tore down the can
opy over the bed and flung it over me,
stolidly ignoring my protests. Then
he dumped out with his muddy boots
and shut the door behind him.
For long while lay there. full in
the heat Of the fire. half-dozing, then
sleeping. then suddenly alert, only to
look about me to see the Countess
with eyes closed. motionless In her
armchair, only to hear the mufied
thunder of the guns in the dark.

Turning pompously to Buckhurst,

Monsieur, for a number of years
there has passed under our eyes here

is nothing to them; their mother-land

was certain now that the shadow
of sneer had settled in the corners
of Buckhurst's thin lips.
Believe me, madame, the time is
coming when the whole world will rise
to combat this Internationale: and

indeed a poor school which has NO IA
