THE SONS OF SORROW.

The most triflidg incident may affect
your own destiny and the destiny of
those who come after you. History is
full of stories illustrating this fact,
and none of them is more remarkable
than the story of Charles Samson de
L0ngval, who sacrificed everything for
love. One day, in the year 1862, he
was thrown from his horse; and as n
direct result Of this accident he and
seven of his descendants, for period
Of 200 years, were Stunned Of men,
as though they were lepers, bearing
upon them the word "unclean."
Charles was the descendant Of a
once illustrious house. His forbears
were knights and soldiers under the
dukes of Normandy, and had distin-
guished themselves for valor upon div
ers fields. They took part in William
The Conqueror's little basket picnic in

"Give up this girl, crush down this
insane infatuation," said the marquis.
land you'll have all your friends again.
AS it is, you are disgraciug the regi-
ment."
Charles drew his sword, and broke
Ii over his knee.
'Then 1 belong to the regiment no
longer" answered he. "I'll tear up my
commission at once"
And he did. That night he went out
to the cottage to ask Marguerite tc
marry him and go to the new world,
where they night begin new life.
All the visits he had paid were with
out the knowledge of her father And
now he went to the door on tiptoe, and
knocked gently-a knock she under
stood. There was no answer, and he
stood listening. He heard moaning
sound, that came from the direction of
IN old shed back In the garden. He
stole there quietly, and saw that there
was light in the shed. The moaning
looked I'm through crack. and saw
Marguerite strapped on leather
couch. Her father, his eyes glowing
insanely. was subjecting her to the tor
ture of the boot. He held aloft ham
mer, was crushing her limb.
Confess that you love him" he
WAS saying.
Then the door few in as though
struck by thunderbolt and Charles
was in the room. He knocked the old
IGan into a corner and then tore the
engine of torture away from the girl.
The father, half craZed with his men
tai sufferings, had heard that the girl
was planning to elope with an officer.
For the sake of her lover, the girl
denied everything, and he was trying
TO force the truth from her.
Then Charles outlined his plan, but
the girl would not leave her father,
who was worse than alone in the
world. And the father would not con-
sent to her marriage unless Charles
agreed to adopt the old mans grue-
some profession. Charles did not hesi-
tate, and under such strange conditions
lie and the girl became engaged, and
were married few days later.
Alas that such devotion as that OF
Charles should have so poor reward
His young wife died In less than a
year, leaving him q son destined for
his bloody trade. Charles thus estab.
lished the Samson family of execution
ers, who were the official headsmen OF
France for two centuries. The last OF
the line was dismissed from office In
1897, when he changed his name and
disappeared, and no man knows what
became OF him.

England and might have remained
there in opulence, but returned to
their own country.
When the fateful accident happened
Charles was lieutenant in the army,
his regiment being stationed at Dieppe.
He was about thirty years of age, and
handsome and prosperous. His life
