Three French RepuhIics.

The French were not able to perma-
nently establish a republic until they
had tried three times to do so. The
anarchy of the French revolution pro-
duced Napoleon Bonaparte, as first
consul, and then as emperor. The rev.
olution of 1S4S resulted in Napoleon
III as hereditary emperor of the
French by an almost unanimous vote
in November, 1852. The third republic
was result of the Franco-Prussian
war and the king Of Prussia was pro-
claimed emperor of the Germans, Sep
tember 4, 1870, and his coronation took
place at Versailles January IS, 1871.
The third French republic was saved
from destruction by the ability and ac-
tivity of Louis Adolphe Theirs. Like
Cavour he carried his country safely
through a great crisis.

CHAPTER XII.

"Casey'S back, spying" announced
Wooster at mess one evening. BY that
time the feeling against "MarshalPs

been q smudge of slumbering fires be-

planted Hardin, their Napoleon. If it

the cause of the desert was as COM

the force was busy in the No. 6 dis

A gang was at Grants Heading; the
floor needed bracing. Another squad,

gion, where they were excavating for
the new headgate.
''No hurry for that" Rickard was
glad to pick a flaw in such q perfect
pattern. "You might have withdrawn
those men and put them to work on
the levee."

The chief pretended to accept the
