The strains of the waltz reached
them as they sat in the shadow Of the
great veranda, with the June moon re-
hected on the water, with youth in
their hearts and the music Of life In
their veins.
Want to try it?" he asked, hoping
she would say she preferred the YER

moon.
She was afraid he would see how
much she did want to linger there
with him, so she jumped to her feet,
replying laughingly:
"Of course, l can never resist q

broke in upon her musings. and for
an instant Amy was startled; then she

They watched one another as though

to pay salaries to the Romanist archbishop
for Belgrade, and to bishops in other cities.
Four days after old King Peter signed
this humiliating paper young Servian shot
the Austrian prince, whom the Jesuits had
converted into blind tool of their own.
Austria demanded of Servia the right to
send her own officials into Servia to try the
persons involved in the crime.
Servia could not do this, without abjectly
surrendering her National independence.
She begged for delay, and she begged to
have the matter referred to The Hague Peace
Tribunal, and she agreed to everything de-
manded by Austria, except the exercise of
judicial power in Servia, By austria.
Germany backed her Romanist neighbor,
and virtually warned all Europe to hands off,

are now Fighting for existence" they
brought it on themselves.
And when the inner secrets are revealed
as they may be some day-it will be found
that the Jesuits were deceiving both the Aus
trian archduke and the German emperor.
It was a Pope who revived the Roman En-
pire of the West, after it had been dead for
centuries; and it was a German who was
crowned as the first Emperor of the Holy
Roman Empire.

Greek-Cathollc provinces, Bosnia and

Being Roman Catholic, the Austrians were

Catholics, for the hatred of the two great
divisions. of Catholicism dates back to the
time of the great schism."
(The bishops of Rome and of CONSTANT
nople both wanted to be the universal bishop;
and as neither would give way to the other,
each became universal bishop, the one in the
East, and the other in the West. The Greek
pope goes by the name Of Patriarch, and he
lives at ST Petersburg Petrograd.)
The ,Jesuits govern Austria, and they COW

emissaries, making converts to Romanism

Finally, Austria sent armies into the two
provinces, crushed their opposition, and
treated them with the utmost barbarity.
Greek Catholics were thrown out of all
places Of influence, and Romanists installed.
These new officials were nearly all from Aus
tria.
Having conquered the provinces, Austria
annexed them to her empire, Europe being
unready to protest, because Germany stood
back of Austria.
Then the Jesuits began on Servia, which
is also Greek Catholic.

intimidated by Austria that he signed a
