Ward, keeping the gun pointing her

ALWAYS STOOD FOR LIBERTY
How the People Of Flanders Have
Written countrys Name Proml-
nently In Worlds History.

No part of Europe has a more ro-
mantle history than the stretch of land
between Calais and the Scheldt, over
which the counts of Flanders held rule
FOR centuries, observes the Manches-
ter Guardian. AS far back as the first
century of the Christian era, when Il
formed part of the Roman province of
Belgica Secund, this region was dis
tnguished for its Industrial towns
remarkable even then for their large
populations and democratic rule.
From the middle of the tenth to the
middle of the sixteenth century was.
however, the golden age of Flanders.
1t began with the introduction of the
woolen industry by Count Baldwin and
the growth of the Municipalities,
Flanders became the pioneer of the
development Of civic democracy, but
neither upon that nor upon industrial
progress did the country's face alto
gether rest 1t was the struggle of her
people against tyranny that wrote the
name Of Flanders upon the pages of
the worlds history.
Her rulers were, for the most part,
noted warriors, bent on defending their
land and on guarding their boundaries
against the invasion of Frenchmen or
Englishmen. The Flemish people were
bred Of fighting stock, and the king
OF France came to learn that In at
tempting to extend despotic rule In
Flanders he had to reckon with more
than trained soldiers and knights Of
chivalry. In the battle of the Golden
Spurs, fought at COurtrai over six CEN
turtles ago, the cloth weavers Of
Bruges, Client and Ypres routed and
destroyed the proud French horse
men; while at later date n power
full French army was defeated at
Courtrai by Flemish burghers under
the leadership of Peter de Conyne,
master of the cloth weavers.
Indeed, until the country passed
Into the possession of the dukes of
Burgundy the whole history was filled
with stirring deeds. Today although
the name Flanders Is applied to two
Belgian provinces, Of which Client and
Bruges are the capitals, 1t still stands
for an underlined stretch of country
which has been the battle ground Of
Europe for centuries. "The war in
Flanders" was as familiar an express
sion to British ears in the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries ms 1t is at the
present moment, and there is not an
inch Of ground in that heroic country
but has been stained with the blood
Of patriots and loyallsts.

you throw that gun on the bed. !"
(Bllly Louise did so, her eyes still
upon Wards flushed face.) "Now, get
down that tablet from the shelf.
Here's a pencil" He drew one from
under his pillow and tossed 1t toward
her. Now you write the truth about
all this rustling. It's a bigger thing
than shows right in this neighborhood.

Foxy has been pulling down some on

II want you to write down the

try to get away. I've got this gun
loaded to the guards, and you know
I'm aching for an excuse" He
stopped and coughed again, hoarsely,
rackingly. Then he lay quiet, except
for his rasping breath and watched.
Billy Louise, with the tablet on her
trembling knees, pretended to write.
From under her lashes she watched
Ward curiously. She saw his attention
waver, saw his eyes wander aimlessly
about the room. She sat very still
and waited, making scrawly marks
that had no meaning at all. She saw
Wards fingers loosen on the revolver.
saw his head turn wearily on the pIl-
low. He was staring out through the
window at the brilliant blue of the
sky with the dazzling white clouds
