"MarselIIalsew Author 4 RavallaA

The "Marseillaise" is often consid- cred hymn by radicals and Reds, be cause it was first widely used by rev OlutiOnists, but ROuget de Lisle was, when he wrote it and to the end of his long life, a convinced royalist, true to his oath of loyalty to Louis XVI. Some months after his great hymn was writ ten he was arrested as a counter-revo- lUtionary, and was saved from the gufllotine only because Robespierre, the master terrorist, was executed.
 ROuget de Lisle was so hostile to the radicals that, rather than take part in the wars of revolutionary France, he retired from the army, be- coming prominent again only after the July revolution, when King Louis Philippe made him a chevalier of the Legion of Honor and gave him a pen. sion.

Yell 1t About the Marines.

mere was time when the marines
 ''' "''''' fun "f hy soldiers and sailors. That time was passed long Hgo. Germany knows!
 By their gallant conduct in the June fighting in and about Chateau Thierry, Cantigny and Xivray the men of the Marine C0rns thrilled America through and through. Their victory At Can- tlgny was especially important, as it drove the German hordes back from the munitions factories and stores which the French had established there, and the taking of which would nave been a tremendous advantage to the Germans.
 "Semper fidelis" ("always faithful"l is the motto of the corps, and "Ffrst to fight" is their slogan. And we are certain that no member of this justly hOnOred branch of the service will mind if we add to our praise of its gallantry the remark that it gives America the more pleasure because it Is not exceptional, but typical of ,he' courage and faithfulness that distin- quiShes them.

This is my nephew, Ted Winthrop, Mary" said Miss Bassett with a proud smile. He expects to be in France soon."
 The figure by the window rose quick ly while Mary, murmuring some unin- telllgtble remark about having met him Defore dropped her basket and fled, much to Miss Bassett's astonishment. scarcely needing the road, she hurried home and up to her room, there to speedily change her light frock for a Khaki skirt and stout little garden shoes and then out to her beloved gar den. Her mind was in a whirl. Ted Winthrop was Miss Bassett's nephew and he was going to France soon.
 She hardly knew whether she was picking peas or beans. She heard nothing until tall figure stepped up to her side and strong arms held her close while Ted's dear familiar voice whis- pered in her ear, Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?"
 Explanations, although unnecessary, were soon made, for he had lost no time in carrying out his beloved project to join the boys lover there" Mary offered her most humble apologies for her thOrghtless words and was quickly forgiven.
 Buhhy. gazing out of the window was somewhat surprised, to say the least. when his sister came up the path with tall soldiers arm about her waist and her pretty face covered with blushes. When the family had some what recovered from their own as- tOnishment, Bubby took Tiger under his arm and went out on the old couch. He had read a good many of his fa ther's papers and was somewhat of in his own small way,
 "I suppose, Tige it's all right" he said, addressing his old feline friend, "and we will have another service flag in the window beside Johns. At the same time it's things like that Tige, that cause the shortage of farm labor."

 To be sure, Ruth's delicious sand wiches and chocolate topped with l whipped cream may have been the at. traction, but it was not only the stu dents, who attended parties in general only for "the eats," who made a point of attending the Raymond "at homes" Professor Raymond always somehow seemed to get laugh out of the most self-cOnsciOus and awkward of his stu dent guests, and he seemed to realize that once you lave made a student laugh with you, vol have convinced him that you and he are on a friendly footing, and not separated by the
 
 student body.
 Another summer passed, and when the class to which Ruth had belonged returned to their senior year there was another ballOting. The results plainly showed that students change in some ways from sophomore tOT senior year. The hOnOrs of pulchritude had passed from the sophomore belle to another girl who had not even been noticed two years before; the favOrite color was now crimson instead of violet, and there were more students whose ambi- tiOn now was to become a millionaire than in the year when the vote of the class went in favor of "Writing a mas terpiece of literature" But again the vote for popularity went to Professor Raymond. On this occasion, however, there were no peals of laughter when the unanimous ballot was cast. On the contrary there was a solemn, almost cOntrite expression on the faces of the students as they voted, and a formal letter telling the professor of his cleo tiOn was sent to him. together with the announcement that he had been elected honorary member of the class.
 When the professor opened the let ter Ruth was sitting beside him in his study, and there were. tears of happi- ness in her eyes as she read the an- n0uncement it contained. "T knew they wOuldre-elect you" she said, with an effort at uncOncernedness. Regi- nald Raymond put out two strong hands and pressed both of Ruth's | hands in them.
 "Don't you know" he asked, ''that | I understand that you have won this | for me? Could have been so blind as | not to see? knew they despised me-" he said, with a relic of the old bitter ness, 'and no man ever lOnged so for student friendship as I did. And you came to show me how to win it."
 "But-but you acted-we thought that you believed it-that you didn't see the abominable joke"
 "That was my little joke on the rlass, Ruth, dear. And after those first weeks of modification about it, decided that my ambition was first 10 win your love, and then to win that which has come to me today"

WOLF REAPPEARS IN FRANCE

 on the War.

Now and then, as we walked down

 we heard the low kr-krump of distant
 guns which had come to my ears be.

 Atlantic Monthly. It was little more distinct and sometimes double: krum. kr-krump, but even now a big frog at the bottom of the hill would have been more effective.
 But all other thoughts slipped away as new sound arose in the darkness, sound which held for me a thrill, as vital as the hint of distant battle, and 1ncOmparably more alluring. It rose slowly, rich, mellow, undulatiOn which stirred every fiber, and then quavered, descended, and broke off. We stood mOtiOnlesS, listening with all our ears, and again 1t came, un- mistakably, from the depths of the misty woods.
 My companion smiled at me, We could see in imagination the drooped tail, the hOllOw-cheeked muzzIe raised skyward-a wolf uttering that cry which of all sounds is most symbolic of the northern wilderness-unhurle- ment plaintiff ct lugubre. I could not believe my ears, that here in the heart of France, within sound of the guns at the front, I had heard the voice of a wild wolf. The peasants had report ed wolves at several places, the cold and pinch of hunger driving them from distant Businesses where their race was making its last stand. And now they had become boldcr, finding little to oppose them in this depleted country.
 Lacking accurate knowledge, I had always assumed that in Euorpe, in these modern times, wolves were re- Stricted to the farthest wilds of Rus s1a and Siberia. To think of them in France was in imagination to repic- lure medieval times again.
