his fellow countrvnen could not stand
their own feet. Too true, too true was
all he could reply.
There is yet another function OF British
tute!age which Is especially Indian. The
tyranny of caste is to some extent re-
strained in its worst features, but it is still
severe. For instance, in d village where
there may be but single deep WE'LL that
must be reserved for the Brahmins, and all
the rest OF the villagers may have to walk
miles to get water. The position of lead
ership, which might be claimed on the
ground of education, is thus perverted into
a senseless tyranny. And remember that
it is this class which now claims to manage
India at its discretion. We should, as
trustees for the 200, 100000 of other castles,
make it plain that every form of self-gov
eminent must be by equal numbers of the
main castles. The Brahmin would probably
prefer then not TO find himself in his true
position as small minority of the popu-
lation. To allow so small a minority, which

India stands by itself, country which
owes its unity entirely to British manage
ment, and which would fall apart with
strife and trouble, if we were not there. 1t
must always be remembered that the native
states, under purely native laws. admins
tratlon and rulers, cover more than q third
Of the land. The largest-Hydersbad-
nearly as large as the states of New York
and Pennsylvania together, and the six hun
dred others tail down to only few acres.
Yet their complete internal independence is
maintained. If any Indian objects to living
under British administration, he has only
to pass over into a native state to enjoy
q purely native management. The British
rule IS divided into six provinces. These all
have legislative councils, in each of which
there must be a nonoffcal majority; and
on the average, the proportions are two
officials to two locally elected members
and one nominated member. Thus the cor
poration, boards, university, Iandholders and
trades all have voice; and, if united, they
can outweigh the official wishes. In the
council OF the viceroy, which controls the
greater and international issues, the off,
clal voice is slightly greater than the non
othclal--thlrty-e light to thirty-two. Thus,
as regards the internal state control. the
official leaves the majority to the civilian
and native members, while in the federal
control the official is in a slight majority.
AS to the extension of the principle Of ma
tive government, the recent Montagu report
opens UP momentous problems of the future
Of India.

Her face had become pensive. He bent
toward her to explain:
"The proof that | have done wise
thing is that she has already chosen an
other life companion. 1t is better so. I
shall have more courage, feeling myself
alone in the face of danger"
From the different expression in his
eyes she understood that he was merely
trying to deceive himself and that the
loneliness Of which he boasted was going
to weigh heavily on his shoulders.
He was alone! And that was the rea-
son why he had stopped this evening in

The uncertainty didn't seem to trouble
him. Without doubt he had changed
much since, as little boy, he had played
with the other children of the neighbor-
hood. Marie-Anne remembered that he
had been sensible and good-humored. To
boisterous amusements he had always pre-
ferred those which involved some mental
effort. Later he had entered the Normal
School for Teachers, whence he had gone
to be schoolmaster in a neighborinp
village. Thereafter she had ceased To
see anything of him.
She asked him, with some degree Of
curiosity:

trembled like leaves moved by the wind
while invisible hands seemed to have been
laid on their shoulders, pushing them
forward and forcing their faces close to-

Across the box hedge they stood ready
to exchange kiss. But that did NOT
tempt them as yet. 1t was not the how
of passion, but that of the divine accord
of souls.

the justice of the case did not matter at
all. In Egypt, the number of British off
Gals is kept as low as possible, although it
may safely be said that every additional
salary that could be paid would save the
government much larger amount. The
lgnorant peasantry expect to be cheated
every time they take railway ticket;
tickets are overcharged, or given for a
station short of what is asked, or withheld
altogether until there is such a rush that
no one can look at his change. On some
lines it is usual to go without paying any
one but the guard For years past it has
been impossible to send baggage to be hon
estly paid for; the native always tips the
weigher Is cents, and has things weighed
short so as to cheat the government of sew
eral dollars. When the surveyor for the
land-tax comes round, every one must bride

he can never reclaim it. If there is a sud

evoked no distinct personal recollection.
She had heard it long ago. But her
memory of it was vague. Now that ia
miliar and insistent voice repeated her
name:
"Marie-Anne! Marie-Anne"
Here am" she answered.
Across the low box hedge they were
now talking face to face. Marie Anne
had recognized her unexpected visitor,
who. with good grace, was apologizing
for his lack of ceremony.

The Lesson
Of the Past

"If We look back for 8 moment to past
experiments in heterogeneity, we may learn
somewhat. Rome stood for the highest
centrahzation Phny's inquiries of Trajan
are ludic Gus in the minute details about
iremen, sewers, theatres and other local
trivialities, not one of which could pass
without the imperial permit from Rome
All initiative and independent life were
crushed, and as imperial defence
weakened, province after province became a
prey to the barbarian. Persia was far more
successful in management. Beyond supply
ing troops and revenue for common defence,
each province was self-contained state;
the satrap was. very generally one of the
old native ruling family the resident who
reported to the Great King being the only
continual check. The Kings peace, and
the Kings roads, reached from the Balkans
TO Central India. There has never been
less oppressive world dominion, and Persia
realized a truly federal empire, to the i'm
mense benefit of the ancient world.
"In looking at the relations Of races it
must be remembered that one race differs
from another, as much one man differs
from his fellow The special capacities of
each race usually deficient in every
other. To one is given strong socality
and inherent music; to another able organ
zing and driving power; to another, ar
tistic expression; to another the instinct

The art of graceful life. These diversities
are what constitute the refreshment Of the
world and its escape from numbing uni
formty. But it would be foolish to expect
the sociality from the Englishman, or the
graceful life from the German. So we can
not expect all races 20 be equally capable
of political success in managing themselves
or others AS part of federal empire,
with local freedom, some nations are more
likely to be successful, prosperous and
happy than If they spent their strength in
ever revolving experiments in government

The young girl got up. In the hall,
with the low rafters, she suddenly seemed
SO tall that she dwarfed everything else.
She was not accustomed to the hard
tasks which the women now had to take
over in the fields while the men defended
the home. But she gradually adapted
herself to the situation, like the others.
Whenever she finished the farm work she
resumed her ancient habits. She sewed
by the window, which overlooked the dis
ordered yard where the chickens and
birds foraged.

her mother had told her to do, she walked
toward shed half hidden under a wal
nut tree with spreading branches. 1t was
easy to see that this shed had been put
to new use. Beside the tools and wheel
barrows ranged in the corner some dainty
and elegant things were to be found
there--a table covered with an embroid-
cred cloth, books and some pictures on
the walls.

through the green branches, caressing her
hair. She was not in hurry The day
