She procured revolver filed its chambers with cart

For week preceding the night when he met his death
Lebaudy had been in dsagreeable mood Several times

had gone away in rage

door and put in place the iron bars which made her room

LeOaudy was even more excited than on his last pre-

torrent OF abuse with which he greeted her. Mrs ebaudy

electricity turned on-hs life snufed in the twinkng
OF an eye And all because his hands were red with the
blood of one of his fellows!
Presently however, something happened to upset all
Mrs Lebaudys previous ideas and emboden her to arm
herself 1t was the killing of John L. de Saules by his
beautiful wife, Blanca
The de Saulles were near neighbors of Mrs Lebaudy
and she knew them both we'll Her shock over the
tragedy and her grief over the awful punishment which
she felt awaited Mrs de Saues gave place to over
whemng amazement when she learned that the law had
set her friend free and that public opinion justified her
deed.
In the situation which had led up de Saules death
Mrs Lebaudy almost exact parallel to that in
which she found herself The young business man had
been shot for doing precisely what her husband was
trying to dO-deprive his wife of loved child If Mrs
de Saules had been justified shooting to kill under

AS Lebaudy saw his wife he leaped upward two steps
at time toward her With hand he seized her by
the wrist with the other he reached for his hip pocket
But the determined woman with the pistol was too
quick for him. Before his hand had found the weapon
sought her finger had pressed the trigger-once twice
five times in ALL
Each bullet found its mark in vital spot of Jacques
Lebaudys body. Yet such the mans vitality that
not until the last of the voley had pierced him did his
grip on his wlfes wrist relax. He toppled backward
tnuddng heavily against stair after stair to land
pied, bleeding, lifeless heap on the floor below

Mrs. Lebaudy fell in a faint It remained for little
Jacquene to unbar her door, walk down the stairs past
the pool of blood in which her fathers body lay and give
the alarm.
Come quickI'' she shouted over the telephone "My
mamma has shot my papaI''
This, Of course Mrs. Lebaudys story of the shoot
ing and her excuse for killing her husband What would
nave been Lebaudy version of the tragedy will be
known
And thus ended the extraordinary career of Emperor
Jacques Lebaudy-nO he would have wished in one of
the marble palaces he had planned for the African sands
not while leading victorious charge of his invineibe
Sanaran guards not even at the hands of the conspaors
ne had long dreaded.
There Silkclad beJewelled courtiers to shed
tears his bier No cathedral bells toed no cannon
doomed flags dropped to half mast as his ewes closed
for the last time In the throngs Of loyal SUBJ
ects gathered to his passing and to acclaim his
successor, the Princess Jacqueline
And his funeral with its handful of mourners and
curiosity SeekerS-what strange contrast that was t.
the imposing cOrege which would have escorted him to
the grave in the capital city Of Troja At the last min
ute 1t was actually questioned whether his body had the
right to rest IN cOnSecrated ground
Death made mock OF all his vaulting ambitions when
II laid him low IN this unromanc way-the victim of the
very woman he had chosen to share his throne
Whether Jacques Lebaudy deserved the fate he met
those who study his life closely will always regret that his
peculiar genius found the right opportunity to
exert itself to the worlds profit and make its influence
felt for many generations.
II all his dreams had true-if he had been per.
mtted to conquer the African desert wastes and dot them
with populouS cities and fertile felds-what inspiring
chapters Emperor" Jacques might have added to the
world history!
Mrs Lebaudy was arrested, but was quickly freed by
the Grand Jury just she had expected she would be
after the experience of Mrs Blanca de Saules
cruel disappointment awaited her, however, when
she walked out of Jail free woman. As will be told
here next Sunday she confronted with the most sur
prlSng obstacles to prevent her taking immediate posses
sion of Lebaudy huge fortune The problems which She
had thought solved forever when she shot him down
suddenly gave place to and more distressngy

quietly withdrew to her own room on the
floor above
This only served the heighten the "Em-
peror's" rage. For an hour he stormed
through the rooms on the lower floor,
smashing glassware, overturning furniture
and shouting curses at the top of his lungs.
Then suddenly the tumult ceased.
Mrs Lebaudy, kneeling in prayer at her
bedside upstairs, was quick to notice the
Ominous hush that had fallen over the house
of tragedy. She jumped to her feet, tip
toed to the door and strained her ears. But
no sound reached her save the low moan of
Sobs from behind Jacqueline 8 barred door.
THANK God! He is gone, and we are
safe for one night more, she murmured.
She was about to knock on Jacuueline'
door and relieve the agony of the child's
fears when she heard the heavy tread of
feet in the corridor below.
1t was Lebaudy! He was coming up
stairs, probably armed with an axe to
smash his way into Jacqueline' s room. Just
as he had threatened.
For an instant Mrs Lebaudy stood lrres.

Nothing that his wife could say
or do was capable of shaking his
determination to gain complete
possession of Jaequeline and
bring her under the protection of
all the. strange plans he was per-
fecting to safeguard himself from
his enemies.
Again and again by every
means in her power she endeav-
ored to free her husband from
the fascination of the African
sands, whose glitter had so long
held him captive. But she might
as well have tried to check the
rise and fall of the Atlantic tides.
To his dying day Jacques Lee
baudy's life was ruled by the de-
termination to make himself
ruler of Sahara and to insure his
daughters succession to the
throne.
The difficulties of Mrs. Lee
baudy's position were greatly in
creased by the almost superhu-
man ingenuity her husband dis
played in pursuing his end. If
she employed detectives to guard
her daughter, he found ways of
Vutwitting them so successfully
that on several occasions he just
missed taking her away with him.
If she undertook to have him
committed to a sanitarium, he
would either make his escape or
promptly consummate some great
business deal so shrewdly that
the alieniSts could not help being
convinced of his sanity.
At last Lebaudy's efforts to
gain possession of little Jacque-
line became so bold and frequent
that Mrs. Lebaudy was obliged
to abandon her plans to send the
girl to school. So the unhappy
child grew on toward young
womanhood barely able to read
or write her own name-and all
because her father insisted that
she was one day to be an empress.
Friends to whom Mrs. Lee
baudy confded some of her end

We have had the peoples victory in
Austria, the same as in other parts Of
the former empire. The idea seems
prevalent In entente circles that Aus

as the result Of separatism. This is
not true. We revolted, just as the

see Vienna the political center OF a re-

no objection to a union with Germany.
A confederation OF the elements Of the
old dual monarchy Is impossible. The
Czecho-Slovaks, Jugo Slavs and Hun
garians are unfriendly TO one another
and could not agree. They have no
common language, except German, for
diplomatic and political transactions.
Much business naturally will be
handled through Vienna but politically
they will all be independent.
THE financial problem IS serious, but
The Czecho-Slovaks and the Others
must assume their share OF the Aus

very grateful. But we must have more
