She glanced up, and catching his

But she saw, by the very way he
drew himself up and smiled. that he
understood. More than that, he
doubted her. He questioned what she
had said. The very fact that she had
told him only the truth added to her
resentment.
"You will see," she said sullenly.
Because he thought he already saw,
and because she had given him q bad

cruel. 'Perhapsi" he said. "But you

In the end she grew quiet and sat
looking into the nre with eyes full of

at the hot words Of demagogues. turn
into the mob he feared. But II had
happened before. The people who had,
one moment, adored the Dauphin Of
France on his balcony at Versailles,
had lived to scream for his life.
The countess, standing on her. bal
cony and staring down into the valley,
beheld the pilgrimage and had thus
her first knowledge Of II. She was
incredulous at nrst, and stood gazing,
gripping the stone railing with tense
hands. She watched. horror stricken.

Of course. Then. indeed. must things
be bad with the king. a. bad 20 they
could be.
The church doors closed behind
them.
Olga Loschek fell on her knees. She
was shaking from head to foot. And
because the religious training Of her
early life near the shrine had given
her faith In miracles, she prayed for
one. Rather. she made bargain with
God:
II any word came to her from Karl,
any. no matter to what II pertained,
she would take It for q sign, and at
tempt flight. II she was captured. she
would kill herself.
But. II no word cnme from Karl BY

she had set out to do. and let him be-
warel The king dead, there would be
no king. Only over the dead bodies
Of the Livonians would they let him
marry Hedwig and the throne. II
would be war.
CuriOusly, while she was still on her
knees, her bargain made. the plan
came to her by which, when the time
came, the terr0rists were to rouse the
people to even greater fury. Still
kneeling. she turned II over In her
mind. 1t was possible. More. II could

And at the vision 1t evoked-Mettlich's
horror and rage, HedwIg's pulling
tears, her own trlumph--she took q
deep breath. Revenge with ven.
geance. retaliation for old hurts and
fresh injuries, these were what she
found on her knees, while the bell In
the valley commenced the mass, and

BANK DEPOSITS GROWING

1t will astonish financial experts.

that bank deposits in this country have
increased nearly a billion and half

quite matter of course. Precisely
the same thing has occurred in Great

QUICKER THAN A BULLET.
The Loon Diving at the Flash of the
Gun, Saves His Life.

Dippy the Loon is more often heard
than seen, though to those who visit the
lakes of the North aE1ritsd States and
Canada he is familiar enough at a dis
lance. This is especially true OF those
lakes deep IN the green forest, for Dip
pv is lover of solitude.
Dippy belongs To the order of diving
birds and is often called the Great North
ern Diver, because he is very wonderful
diver and swimmer. His legs are chief
ly for swimming, and for this reason,
are placed so far back that when standing
ON solid ground he appears to be upright
His feet are fully webbed and are big
enough to drive Dippy through the wa
ter at great speed
On land Dippy is so clumsy that it is
with difficulty he can get about at all.
He cannot rise into the air from land.
and so he is seldom found more than
lew feet from the water. His wings
are narrow and small for his size: but
once Dlppy gets under way in the air
he flies swiftly and far In order to
rise, he uses wings and feet-paddling
over the surface of the water. for some
distance to get nn sufficient speed for
! his wings TO lift him. In this respect
he Is like an airplane which attains great
speed on land or water before it can. rise
The common loon is glossy black on
the upper parts, at times showing violet
and green tints. Back and wings are
spotted and barred with white. There
are streaks of white on throat and neck.
His breast and belly are pure white; his
bill straight and pointed Dippy is a big
bird, being nearly three feet long. There
Is black-throated loon and red throat
ed loon-a very handsome fellow.
Looms feed almost exclusively on fish.
They are wonderfully keen sighted and

Millions Don't Help Bellows Falls.

tDelloWs rams LINES.
About the most disreputable piece of
real estate within the Bellows Falls viii
lage limits is the Hetty Green home on
Church street, owned by the Green heirs.
1t looks worse than shacks on Vermont
deserted farms, because the lawn is used
as a lounging place and newspapers, rags,
old sacks, and other refuse are scattered
about freely. While Mrs Green lived she
had the grass cut at least once a year.
Her children are not interested in the
place even to that extent. The piazzas
have fallen down and the general forsaken
appearance is enough to give sober man
the jim-iams. And all this on one Of the
most prominent streets OF the village In
case like this the village ought to have
a legal right to protect itself. 1t ought
to have power to cart away the piazzas
and clean up the lawn and charge the ex-
pense against the property The possession
of many millions of inherited money may
be a blessing. but the millions are not
